AlCapone 7,678 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 So says ex St Mirren chairman...in the rhebel and you're not getting the link. never mind we have Rangers men running our club, should be ok.... Celtic chief Peter Lawwell runs Scottish football claims former St Mirren chairman Stewart Gilmour The one-time Paisley supremo put the Hoops man in the dock and criticised SPFL head honcho Neil Doncaster on radio show Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has been accused of running Scottish football. The claim was made by ex-St Mirren chairman Stewart Gilmour on BBC's radio show Sportsound. When prompted to discuss if the big clubs are part of a cabal running the SPFL, Gilmour responded: "I think you're hitting the nail right on the head. I think that's one of the problems of having a weak Rangers , shall we say, obviously they're coming back and I don't mean any offence whatsoever in that. "I think it was healthier for the game when we had a strong Rangers so we had two particularly strong clubs." Presenter Kenny McIntyre then asked Gilmour the question 'Who is running Scottish football?', to which Gilmour had no doubt. "Oh, Kenny I don't think you need to ask me that. Are you trying to tell me that Peter's not pulling the strings? Peter Lawwell ? "And by the way I don't mean any offence to Peter. Peter's job is the chief executive of Celtic Football Club and in terms of that job and his key primary role, Peter does a fantastic job. "Does Peter do a great job for Scottish football? Hmm. How many times are we talking about new TV deals and various other things and trying to promote the game - and what comes out the box again? Us [Celtic] going to England "Some of the chairmen that attend the meetings will not take Peter on. I think he's got too much power on other clubs." Hamilton chairman Les Gray was also on the show and disagreed with Gilmour, citing his time on the SPFL board and praised all clubs for coming together in the last few years to agree reconstruction. Gilmour says Neil Doncaster's time is up as SPFL chief executive and claimed there was a loose agreement to oust him back in 2012. He said: "If you look back through the whole Rangers saga and chairmen of Premier League clubs, and I won't embarrass them this evening, sat in a room in Gleneagles and said: 'Let's get all this sorted first of all and then we'll sort him." Host McIntyre asked if he meant they wanted Doncaster gone, Gilmour added: "Yes. Chairmen of current Premier League clubs They all said 'we'll get the amalgamation [creation of SPFL] sorted then we'll sort that. "He's got no credibility with supporters. It's the way he has conducted himself throughout the whole time." Former Buddies chairman Gilmour expressed his bemusement at certain kick-off times that take place due to television broadcasting of games, but was put on the spotlight by the panel when asked if he signed off on those TV deals. "No one wants to watch football on a Saturday at 5.15pm, or at 4 on a Sunday," Gilmour said, but presenter McIntyre interrupted to ask why he couldn't have spoken up about the issue when he was in charge at the Paisley club. "Don't blame the TV companies. If you agree to that deal and that contract, you can hardly complain at what time they want to play the games. You jumped into bed with the devil," said the Daily Mail's Stephen McGowan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,137 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Peter will not be happy with his personal news sheet. However, a story on Thursday, in the bin on Friday, like the child abuse, nothing to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart G could have had the balls to say that 5 years ago .He is right though There are plenty of people at our club that should be saying this but won't . Reason .Their silence has been bought by the easy ride the fuckers got for a painless takeover Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't get rid of us faster in 2012, their fans were gonna boycott if they never voted us out. Fuck them all! You get into bed with dogs you're gonna get fleas. Don't come complaining, that they've sucked all the blood out of you. The taigs hate Lawell, they should be worshipping him, for what he's done for their club. He's got Celtic men in every position of power within the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think big Peter conned every cunt by saying one thing and doing another. Said they would deal with him after they grabbed us for the SPFfuckinL so they could rob us of every penny we were entitled to. Looks like even donkeyaster was in on the glesga jap sneaky pete's plan. Fuck each and every one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
