Is the time coming for the Celtic board to declare a vote of no confidence in the SFA?
It would be a dramatic move from the club but no one could accuse them of a knee jerk reaction to the non-action from Hampden.
A month after the Supreme Court in London ruled that Rangers (IL) operated a system of dual contracts that withheld income tax and national insurance there has been no reaction from the SPFL or SFA.
Had Livingston or Ayr United failed to correctly date a player contract or team sheet they’d be thrown out of the League Cup on a 3-0 defeat.
This morning Celtic Quick News gives a thorough breakdown on yesterday’s Professional Game Board meeting at Hampden. You wouldn’t need to have a heated driveway to guess the source of the story.
The phrase trotted out from the day of the Supreme Court ruling has been no appetite.
Whether it’s the leadership of clubs or the football authorities that have that attitude is immaterial. The clubs are the SFA and SPFL.
The Supreme Court ruling and the Craig Whyte trial provided the authorities with a final opportunity to get things right after the regulatory gymnastics of 2012. They’ve let it slip.
A tidal wave of evidence is gathering about the way that the SFA and SPFL do business, a google search for ‘Neil Doncaster’, ‘minimum wage’ and ‘Scottish Parliament’ should provide our most blinkered clubs with a clue.
Having refused another chance to prove themselves worthy of leading the game serious questions must be getting asked within the Celtic boardroom.
Are they prepared to be associated with colossal incompetence or do they blow the whistle and let Holyrood, Westminster or UEFA gut the SFA and SPFL and drive through proper governance to those deluded clubs that think we are prepared to move on.
