I suspect the Res 12 Bhoys have the conspirators by the short and curlies

The SFA CO is searching for an escape pod

Something is afoot and since Res12's ultimate aim was SFA reform leading to a more professional organisation, an aim Celtic shared, appointing folk into positions who are willing to create a more professional organisation, is welcome.

On that check https://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/five-in-open-battle-for-central-defensive-places/comment-page-4/#comment-3206256 and preceding comments on voting.

and https://www.sfm.scot/is-it-time-for-the-sin-bin/?cid=168993 on ND's placement on PROFESSIONAL Game Board.

You do wonder what has caused Regan to go and Doncaster to be invited on Board. :naught:

PL has been quoted as liking Doncaster, if I'm not mistaken?

Reading between the lines, are you suggesting PL has some influence in this?

I'd hope so, especially when speaking of delivering more (well, some/any) professionalism at the SFA.

I think that is the idea. Did PL not rate him recently and are Partick Thistle off the park not a well run business regardless of fluctuating form.

It's all well and good seeking change for good going forward but it won't mean much if the Huns' cheating continues to be swept under the carpet.

There is one theory but best wait for Compliance Officer to do his job in an environment more conducive to the justice that the Judicial Panel process that Regan, ironically, established in 2011, was set up to deliver.

Lawwell did indeed highlight Maxwell and Mulraney as people who could help drag SFA into the modern world. :thumbsup:

By all accounts Doncaster is rated within the SPFL, but it is debatable how long that has been the case. Apparently back in the SPL days after the events of July and August 2012, a fair number of them wanted him gone.

More recently though, in the reporting of Regan's demise, it was mentioned that in contrast Doncaster's stock was currently high because he had brought in increased money from new and existing tv and sponsorship deals.

It is difficult to go overboard about his capabilities and grasp of things though. This is still the same guy who was the co-architect of Huns as Club 12 in 2012. And the Chief Executive who agreed what will effectively be an eight year TV deal to 2020, on painfully anaemic terms, at a time when sports TV rights values have been exploding all over Europe.

The bargain apparently driven was that Petrie and Macrae got to choose the National team manager, if the other Board faction led by the non-execs got to pick the Chief Executive. Amazingly their search has managed to cover the rest of that same boardroom.

Thistle are a well run club because they are backed by Colin Weir's money. They'd be the same basket case they've always been without it.

With the SFA and the Scottish game crying out for a step change in the level of competence and vision, that largely would tend to come from new blood for organisations that were seen to be dysfunctional. Instead the Board are getting the guy from down the corridor, and the favourite to be the Chief Exec is a apparently going to be a guy from the Board. The working relationship between Doncaster and Maxwell is already well established through the SPFL, so it is anyone's guess how Doncaster is supposed to be impartial when the candidate sift and interviews for the Chief Exec role are underway.

It does not augur well.

How does that tally with the role being publicly advertised, and there currently being a long-longlist of candidates?

Not disagreeing with you at all or questioning your post BTW, just wondering why they’re going through the (extensive) motions? :thumbsup:

First main stream reference to SFA Compliance Officer investigation in a while.

https://stv.tv/sport/football/1410322-alastair-johnston-yet-to-be-passed-fit-and-proper-by-sfa/

Looks like the news from the CW trial on when liability finally grabbed SFA attention 9 months ago.

Why the same information from Res12 lawyer did not have same impact in 2015 is a question the SFA probably don't want to be asked or answer.

Alisdair Johnson was the Rangers Chairman who put his name to Rangers Interim Accs on 1st April 2011.

Because without it they leave themselves open to even more ridicule and probably even legal challenge. Doncaster's appointment is ridiculous. If nothing else, there are very clear reasons why the SFA should be independent of the League, on purely player and club disciplinary grounds alone.

The panel on Sportsound tonight talked about Maxwell as if he was a shoo in.

It could end up going to someone else of course. McLaughlin said tonight that Adrian Bevington had applied which is potentially significant. If its a slick media savvy, UK and UEFA facing figurehead with corporate pulling power and no known agenda you want, somebody like that easily exceeds Ian Maxwell. The problem is, he would represent a threat to existing power bases. Is he likely to get it therefore? Nope.

Chick Young made a point that resonated (probably the first time that line has ever been uttered). Bevington doesn't look or sound like your average Scottish football jobber, and after Regan, that could be significant.

The inference is that the clubs want to control the SFA, which is not necessarily a good thing at all. They will no doubt be able to achieve that with Doncaster on the Board and Maxwell as Chief Exec. So I would be amazed if it did not happen. Yesterday the briefing about Maxwell being "favourite" started in the media in earnest, despite the fact the closing date for applications was only on Friday past. Info like that is only leaked to suit an agenda.

It’s nigh-on impossible to find someone from within Scottish football who would be a great fit for the huge step-up to this role. I can see why they appointed someone external the last time, but they do need to aim a bit higher in terms of relevant commercial experience.

They must have shat themselves when Bevington applied? :lol:
