HibeeJibee Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 After nominations closed SPFL has announced the candidates for election to its Board for the coming season.http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/spfl-to-elect-new-board-at-agm/ Peter Lawell of Celtic, Ann Budge of Hearts and Ian Maxwell of Partick are the only people running for the 3 seats open to Premiership clubs so will effectively be elected unopposed. Having resigned in protest at Dundee United's point deduction, Stephen Thompson has changed his mind and following their relegation is running for 1 of 2 Championship seats alongside Leanne Dempster of Hibs and Eric Drysdale of Raith Rovers. Ken Ferguson of Brechin is the only person running for the 1 seat open to SPFL1 & SPFL2 clubs so will effectively be elected unopposed. These 6 seats - comprising 3 Premiership, 2 Championship and 1 lower-levels - join Ralph Topping (Chairman) and Neil Doncaster (Chief Exec) in forming the SPFL Board. So 6 seats are up for grabs - and only 7 people are standing. Only the Championship will have a contest and even there 2 of 3 will be elected. Is this an example of everything being worked out in advance behind closed doors? Lack of interest in running things? Or genuinely the best people and no-one else wanted to stand against them?

bennett Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Lawwell on both spfl and SFA boards? I know we joke aboot him running Scottish fitba but... Thistle complain bitterly about the splf and they have someone on the board, he'll probably want ten home games against seb Coe. Ann Budgie , will she shake things up and provide some common sense? Two out of Steven Thompson, Drysdale and Dempsey ffs, hardly inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaviliunas Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 If budge gets on the board it will be a disaster. She's a complete c**t, already chucked out another patronising statement about wanting more family friendly sanitised atmospheres in Scottish football.

Bambino7 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Did Budge not hire Levein because she knows f**k all about football? Will suit the board to a tee in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven posts in the thread,none mentioning anything about 'a new club' and absolutely no one making a fuss.What is it you see when you log on here? Because it must be something different from everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
