naegoodinthedark Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 So I wonder what Dodgey Dave is trying to cover up by going bat shit crazy over something he knew about months ago apparently... Interesting free weeks ahead I reckon. Maybe just sees himself as the hand of justice. If he’d made the statement dressed as Batman we’d have taken it more seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason why a Celtic-preferring Chairman of the SPFL (and SFA ) can't act perfectly even-handedly.

The issue here is whether the Desmond/O'Brien link was drawn to the attention of the SPFL members BEFORE they decided to appoint. From the non-denial denial statement, it sounds like maybe it wasn't. It wouldn't cut it to simply circulate a press statement saying MacLennan has also taken a post with IN&MG , without saying " oh, and by the way, IN&MG is 45% owned by Desmond and O'Brien" This doesn't need the pfaff of a full independent investigation. The board just need to establish the facts at their next meeting and either reaffirm their support for their new chairman. Or not. By the way, what team did the previous Chairman support ? Hibs ? Now that really is beyond the pale ! Your team died mate. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, the last time I dabbled on a football forum was about 5 years ago on Kickback and I got barred from that because a mod decided I was a reincarnation of a Hibby interloper. I know from that experience that once the mob are baying, you can't actually prove you're not a witch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't happened though, and is unlikely to with the takeover stuff hanging over them. Can you accept that £6m as part of the FFP figures when there is absolutely nothing that will guarantee it happens? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pet Jeden Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Now then, Bawatchin. Talking of teams that died. Pot-Kettle. Glass houses and all that. Tell me all about Hibernians' league placings in the early 1890s. I'll give you a tip. Don't bother looking, they weren't in any league, were they ? A proper break in history, eh. Not even shoe-horned into a lower league as a phoenix club. Even got a new name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
