Different situations and I recall the hounding from all and sundry until Smith was driven from his post. Not read spiers about turn but Jackson's seems to me to be a damage limitation exercise. Its an isolated incident and anyone saying otherwise are just conspiracy theorists with big bad Rangers having had top jobs before. He admits his little rant had nothing to do with the point but felt the need to add it in there anyway, what a twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMotor 2,208 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 1 hour ago, Howsitgoing said: It's through gritted teeth that he has to admit to it. Part of today's article confirming Dave King has a point. "Demand he cease or throw the book at him on a charge of disrepute or whatever else is in your power. Because in terms of perception their lack of action points to a guilty conscience.That’s not to say MacLennan has been nobbled by celtic’s biggest shareholder and his long-term business ally.Nor is it confirmation for the conspiracy theorists convinced celtic have grabbed the game in this country by the short and curlies.It also opens the gates to a toxic swamp of whataboutery – especially given the roles Campbell Ogilvie and Gordon Smith once held within the SFA. The truth of the matter is MacLennan’s CV and background in media would most probably have had him on the shortlist for a role at a company like INM whether he was head of the table at the SPFL or not. But that’s not the point either." "The truth of the matter is MacLennan’s CV and background in media would most probably have had him on the shortlist for a role at a company like INM whether he was head of the table at the SPFL or not." Again, an article touching on what matters without realising it or digging any deeper. MacLennan's experience at The Telegraph Group makes perfect sense in regards to his suitability for the role at INM. What nobody seems to be asking is how on earth did it make him suitable for the role of Chairman of the SPFL? It reeks of placeman. This is supported by his subsequent appointment at INM, which actually joins the dots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an article written in here 6 years ago about the connection of Gordon Reid's son and the owner of Nolan partners (The Mysterious Past And Recruitment Of Stewart Regan). They have been recruiting people into top positions in Scottish football for a long time now. The only suitability he has is that he is a lap dog for who runs Scottish football, lieswell.

BlueKnight87 17,242 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I don't see king letting this go and he shouldn't. As others have pointed out on here and even Rangers hater Jackson said it today. If the SPFL didn't have anything to hide why isn't king being hit with charges. They haven't been shy in the past doing this. It's looking clear that Robertson and others on the SPFL board weren't giving the full details. Despite the claims from the SPFL. King need to take this further now and look to take action.

Ogilvie had worked at Hearts as well as us and Smith's only connection to us, at the time he took the SFA role, was that he once played for us. What experience of football administration does Shifty McGifty have? Neither Ogilvie nor Smith were employed in any other of the business interests of major shareholders of Rangers when they worked for the SFA. To accept that there exists no conflict of interest you have to accept that it is entirely coincidental that together they own roughly 45% of Celtc and 45% of INM (effectively controlling both companies). Furthermore, the people who have gone on oath talking about their business relationship are lying. Finally you have to believe that the Moriarty tribunal is a work of fiction. They didn't work together lying and cheating, not to mention bribing the Irish PM. But none of that matters of course, because, well Gordon Smith played for Rangers between 1977 and 1980. Then again in 1982. Then he worked for the SFA between 2007 and 2010. So clearly there can't possibly be a conflict of influence with O'Brien, Desmond and MacLennan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So clearly there can't possibly be a conflict of influence with O'Brien, Desmond and MacLennan Smith and the SFA were hounded by Lawell, Lennon and Paul McBride. We all remember how vociferous their campaign was in these years, compiling briefs against referees all in the name of "seeking clarification". Every decision that went against them, they pursued it to the highest order in the media and at SFA meetings threatening legal action. Leading eventually to the referees strike. It was an orchestrated campaign of lies, negative publicity and perceived victimhood - that has led us to here. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander now - high time our board should be looking at every fine detail and calling them all out. They would do well not to forget that.

Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 With the scums impending storm coming due to their peadophile ring could this chairman have been appointed with this in mind. He has previously protected government officials said to be peados by withholding emails. His knowledge in this area is fundamental to Doncaster/lieswell in trying to continue the coverup which will be more important to them than any footballing issues. “Withholding Child Abuse Emails Further Damages Tarnished Telegraph By Tom Watson” https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/6736094 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
