SPFL have no choice but to act on confidentiality breaches

418
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Former SPL chief exec Roger Mitchell is fond of saying his old job had all the responsibility and none of the power, as ultimate control of the League lies with the clubs.  Neil Doncaster has lived through a period of his life he will never forget, but after issuing a comprehensive rebuttal to the ‘dossier’ yesterday, he may reflect that his powerbase has been significantly enhanced by the traumas.

The tone of the SPFL’s response, signed by nine of the 10 directors, is unlike anything I have read before from a comparable body; “baseless, damaging and self-serving attacks”, they did not miss the target and hit the wall.

With no charge outstanding, votes against the League will amount to little more than historical allegiances with the protagonists.  They will do well to get 25% support, instead of the 75% required for success.

I commented on Thursday that the phrase “serious breach of fiduciary duties” was likely to feature in news reports soon.  Instead, the League opted for “gross breaches of confidentiality” for distributing confidential parts of their Sky TV contract in the dossier appendix.

The board have no choice but to act in order to protect their broadcast contracts from breach.  The irony of trying to claim the League is jeopardising a contract by actively jeopardising that same contract is off the scale and indicates the levels at which we are operating at.

    CM – The election was lost because a lot of folk thought Corbyn was a Zoomer – that is what came across loud and clear in the Red Wall. I would have liked nothing more than to bin the Tories but he proved to be a liability – the time to do the Tories came and went when he dithered over a second referendum, basically because he was almost as anti EU as Farage, albeit fir different reasons.

    With all due respect I don’t think we should be looking to score political points regarding deaths in care homes or otherwise. All I will say is that most care homes are run by private companies and are independent of the NHS and direct government control. The main reason for their existence is the bottom line and not due to some sort of altruism. There is no guarantee apart from the word of the owners that they have been following guidelines or supplying adequate PPE. It only takes one a asymptomatic carrier to wreak carnage in one of these homes.

    there was lots of talk and accusations about internal anti-semitism in the labour party but i dont think i can remember specific examples being reported as well

     

     

    does anyone know of any or is it just a lot of internal mud slinging?

    Too many in the Labour Party and elsewhere simply would not recognise or accept the result in the Referendum, despite 400 constituencies voting to leave. Corbyn was bounced into adopting a pro 2nd referendum policy, which, one he did not agree with, and two could never deliver a Labour victory. The SNP and Lib Dems fell into the same trap.

    they are already. Our neighbours had their son’s girlfriend in for a BBQ last weekend and the mother goes out to work as a community care worker, potentially spreading the virus to so many poor vulnerable people. Younger people particular think they are invincible.

    Pogma…..

     

     

    The Tories are in charge of NHS England and the SNP of NHS Scotland, that seems fairly political to me. Likewise Care Homes come under both local and national oversight, private or otherwise. Both the SNP and the Tories have adopted very similar policies in response to Covid 19, and indeed to residential care homes, and in relation to the latter at least these policies have been found wanting to this day. Party political?

     

    I’d call it an abject failure.

    Early days since Germany began easing restrictions, results not too encouraging,

     

    Too early to be definitive but this R ratio that is so important has gone back over the key 1 ratio.

    Oversight can mean very little or lots. Care homes are not hospitals or even nursing homes. They are businesses responsible for the safety of their staff amongst other things. The care home industry was advised early on about providing their staff with PPE.

    Couple of weeks back, Canamalar posted a link to the internal report by the Labour Party. Think the report itself was secret, but others on here will know better than me.

     

    “The Work of Labour Party’s Governance and Legal Unit in relation to Anti-Semitism 2014-2019”

     

    Published March 2020.

    There was no anti-Semitism that was a blatant smear tactic done by the media + Israel and Labour right wing. Corbyn was too soft and got bullied into apologising for something that didnt happen.

    My wife works in an NHS practice in NHS Highland she sees a lot of very elderly patients. She’s had more than one come in to reveal the telephone conversation they’ve had with various GP’s at the practice trying to encourage them to accept a ‘don’t resuscitate’ policy if they contract COVID-19. One or two of them have told the GP to GTF.

     

    I don’t claim to know what Care Home policy is but nothing would surprise me. There’s always somebody else waiting to fill that bed. Whether I can put that down to Government I don’t know but I doubt it would be any different if another Party was in power.

    Read somewhere that Johnson was never circumcised.

    It’s a mixed bag I’ll grant you that, national legislation, care commissions, tory buck passing and local authority responsibility, a difficult enough situation at the best of times, far less during a pandemic.
