Yesterday’s Sunday Mail exposé on attempts by the SPFL to change the balance of power within the SFA in favour of the professional clubs, while changing their bowling club committee-approach to running the game, was worthy of some merit but clearly the result of an SFA leak designed to undermine the proposed changes.
Any organisation which has a built-in requirement for office-bearers to have enough spare time on their hands in the years before nomination to attend mind-numbingly boring committee meetings is set on a path for mediocrity. Only those not busy enough with real world issues and challenges will qualify, meaning your best talent is never eligible, which is why we end up with a president like Campbell Ogilvie, who met the mediocre standards and is kept there by equally able under-achievers.
The Sunday Mail try to make out that the proposed move is a grab for cash, although they also explain why this cannot really be the case. It’s not a grab for cash, it’s not a subversive plot by Premiership clubs, it is an acknowledgement by the professional clubs that the systems of governance and administration in the game is inept and that they do not currently have the control to change things.
Our game needs deliverance from the bowling club committee.

TET,
The whole fallout from Fergie makes you wonder how much of his success was down to his management off the field – intimidation of referees, officials, press etc.
Whether you like him of not, or his tactics, he did an excellent job, and played the rules to the limit.
Most teams were beaten, particularly at Old Trafford, before they stepped off the team bus.
Interesting that whilst OT has lost the aura of invincibility, Moyes record away from home in the league is actually ok.
THE SINGING DETECTIVE
Nope,mate. In the house. Night shift as usual.
The nearest I want to get to a rat,thank you very much,is described in my previous post.
I’ve no love for United or there fans, never forget that night wee Naka rammed it right up them,oh how sweet was that.

‘To sack Moyes would be just plain stupid, he needs time, at least two years to build, if they do they are loosing a good manager, the problem was they kept the Hun to long, shoulda bulleted him three years ago.’

You reckon this guy’s a hun?

Heyyyyyyy, my name was mentioned in your previous post?
Ernie lynch
I know he’s a Hun, make no mistake about that, it was I who posted that article. He’s a Hun, trust me, but you think he isn’t fair enough.
TONY DONNELLY
Aye,and don’t you forget it!
Sorry,bud. I was referring to my previous post to TSD.
You,for instance,for all our disagreements,are welcome in my company any time,and I would expect the same to be returned.
TSD,I think of him in a gathering of CQNers being asked who he is known as,and denying himself,every time,not just thrice.
He reminds me of the old joke about the snake and the wide-mouthed frog.
‘Ooh,you don’t see many of them nowadays’
Bloody halfwit who brings eff-all to the blog but discord.
BMCW
Lol, I knew that was just winding you up, forgot the smily face :)
TONY DONNELLY
I canny imagine you wi a smiley face,ya miserable git. And there’s a good reason why I don’t do smiley face either!
Think Man Utd have to inform the US Stock Market first of any change of manager,
BMCW
I do them round about Christmas time and Easter, kinda good will thingie .
Who gives a funkeys muck about manure or any other team for that matter
And CANAMALAR is back!
How ye doing,stranger?
Do you want TONY DONNELLY to nip round and give you an Easter smiley thing to cheer ye up?

If memory serves me right CO was re – elected in 2013 for 2 years.
So if steps are being taken to replace not only him but the archaic structures that put power into the hands of the unscrupulous and unprofessional, then the SPFL are recognising that now is the opportune moment to start the reform process.
Regardless of the SPFL’s faults, the fact is clubs are one step nearer to accountability than the SFA and one thing Res 12 will do if it does nothing else is show supporters how they can be heard via their clubs who have AGMs AND where common ground has been identified and worked towards.
It’s not the full boonha yet but it is progress.
Old Dylan Bob had it right. The times they are a changin.

Let’s hope it’s the story of The Hurricane…the man the authorities came to blame!!!
Ok bhoys. Aff oot.
Malaga next stop.
Moyes was the wrong man for the job. His style of play is basic, traditional English, 442, play the ball into space and chase football. Rodgers and Martinez have shown him up as being behind the times, he’s more of an Allardyce, Pullis style manager. Guys who are good at what they do with mid table teams. That’s Moyes’s level.
They should have gone for Jurgen Klopp in the summer but he’s now rumoured to be off to Barca, so that ship has sailed.
McCoist must be a shoe in!!
Bmcuw,
No been anywhere, busy, but still lurkin, was proving to myself I’m not the source of all discord :o)
And learning to bite my tongue :o)
Moyes was always the wrong choice. He steadied the ship at Everton while winning nothing in 10 years.
Fergie was a bit of a project for Man Utd in 86 but with the club now operating in a different stratosphere ie top 4 a minimum requirement, Moyes had to hit the ground running, and he wasnt up to it.
I think the Glazers got twitchy with the prospect of Liverpool winning the league and also booking a place in the top 4 closed shop for the next few seasons.
Thats if the rumours are true of course.
TD67
I must admit, your pups P&B made sure you were not missed on the Brazen Karaoke yesterday.
Wee Plum was another story.
Donny Toadily
You need to give it a break
We don’ need no steenkin’ bowlers.
Would the Glazers and assorted corporate MUFC shills attempt to leverage Davie Moyes out of his job through a media whispering campaign, thus avoiding that 6 year payoff?
CCB
For all Fergie intimidated officials, he was a decent manager, his time at Aberdeen for example, it did take him time at Utd, but he did deliver, should have delivered more imo given the resources he had a his disposal.
Interesting time ahead for them.

tooting,
You think any manager is going to walk away from dosh like that ?
Marakesh
Commy called me today, he said it was a great day, sorry I missed it, I’m still in a wee bit of pain but I was told I would be so no big deal hopefully I can make it this weekend, fingers crossed, I’ll see how I feel, plum is plum, what yi see is what yi get, great we guy unconscious comedian.
tootingtim
I doubt that the pay off would be for the full amount of his 6 year contract. A new manager in the summer, there would likely be a break clause this summer of a lot less than full contract, one maybe two years??
Personally I think it’s a bowling club’s manouevre to grab cash
A lady walks into Harrods. She looks around, spots a beautiful diamond Bracelet and walks over to inspect it.
As she bends over to look more closely, she unexpectedly farts.
Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone noticed Her little woops and prays that a sales person was not anywhere near.
As she turns around, her worst nightmare materialises in the form of a Salesman standing right behind her – Good looking as well.
Cool as a cucumber, he displays all of the qualities one would expect of a professional in a store like Harrods.
He politely greets the lady with, ‘Good day, Madam. How may we help You today?
Blushing and uncomfortable, but still hoping that the salesman somehow Missed her little ‘incident’, she asks, ‘what is the price of this Lovely bracelet?’
He answers, “Madam – if you farted just looking at it – you’re going to shit yourself when I tell you the price…
Could be wrong but think Manchester United have been very cruel allowing leaks then refusing to deny the David Moyes dismissal claims. So much money at stake given that he’s on a long term lucrative contract, disgusting if they are trying to negotiate his mutual consenting.
I hope he takes them for every penny of the contract he was awarded, it’s a dirty dirty business, the greatest league in the world funded by SKY.
I wonder if Ferguson will chuck his MU ambassador gig,after hos protoge’ was bagged in under a year.

Wee Oscar’s Dad Stephen has backed “Gallant Oscar” in the Irish National today at 18/1.
Here’s hoping that comes in!
T4.
I hope he doubled it up with Cara’s Oscar in the 3.45 at the same meeting,It won a16/1.
Theweegreenman
Good wan a liked that.
If bowling clubs were called mega marble centres they’d get a lot more Jungle Jim’s through the doors in lower Scotland.
It’s typical of yanks, they go for the throat in business, it’s a dog eat dog world out there, that’s why the yanks are good at what they do.
David Moyes gets arse n necked oot the door at OT. Why should I care ?
The sun is shining and ol Dave will still be a multi-millionaire the morra.

if you are in need of good food and wine stops in Malaga I am fortunate to have some good friends there who can advise
