Lawell is right about the SFA though. The question is would you prefer the status quo to prevail because you distrust his motives. If not the "move on" statement may well have significantly reduced our influence on the final outcome of any change. Aberdeen are in the same boat.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
By publicly naming individuals within the SFA Lowell is showing he wants to build a coalition and we're standing on the wrong side. In what way could he increase Celtics dominance? That's a serious question btw. I'm pushed to see how he could make the SFA any worse.

I'm by no means a massive fan of Rod Petrie and his ability to grasp the football side of the business however is Keith Jackson and co playing this out to ensure that the SFA remains in Glasgow. Absolutely nothing would surprise me and the Walter Smith story seems manufactured and with very little substance, yet it paints RP and McRae as dithering idiots which suits the narrative that they should be removed.
What could Keith Jackson possibility get out of this....I'd hazard a guess that he would like to see more Rangers minded people on the Board and ones that want International games to remain in Glasgow. This is his big opportunity and he and his cohorts aren't letting this one go.
Perhaps Celtic still think that Parkhead should host international games and this is PL's way of making sure that the Board members that think otherwise are isolated?

Either way, last night was a hot job and I don’t see Petrie surviving it.

Lawell strategy - not at all disguised - is to increase Celtics influence to ensure they remain dominant for decades.
So, while Petrie may not survive what's happening at the SFA, anyone that thinks Lawell is saying this "for the good of Scottish football" better be careful what they wish for.

I wouldn't be sure that Petrie's a busted flush either, he's a survivor. I always had him down as a quiet reformer working away behind the scenes but events since the "move on" statement have made me question this and I don't think the status quo is tenable. So where do we go to achieve reform?Last edited by Stonewall; 10-02-2018 at 08:43 AM.

He’ll want Celtc colts in the league and the calendar rearranged to accommodate lucrative friendlies for starters.
Neither is a positive move for Scottish football as a whole.

You need to be very careful what you wish for here.

I agree with the poster you’ve quoted.
It’s hard to imagine how anybody running the SFA could do any worse?

Boyd calls for an overhaul yet bigs up Smith and McLeish for the job.

The SFA is just failing at one thing here, it’s failing at absolutely everything it does.

A lot of Petrie’s powerbase came from his alliance with Lawell. Now that this has gone, I can’t see him surviving. It’s not like he’s a popular guy.
Just because we are not sure what change will look like doesn’t mean we shouldn’t seek it.

I have no problem in a root and branch clearout at the SFA...........however just because you dislike Petrie doesnt mean that the alternative is automatically better.
Dont know how old you are, but if you think it cant be worse, do you remember Jim Farry? Whos to say we dont get someone as corrupt and glasgow centric again?
I say again, be very careful what you wish for, remove Petrie if you want, but IMO you will 100% get a system that is even more helpful to Celtic than now.
As for the Sun article (which I wont click) FFS lets not pretend that Kris Boyd is on telly for any other reason than to offset Kris Commons to placate the Glasgow teams supporters ! He says nothing original and is very average as a presenter.

The fact the SFA even spoke to Walter Smith, tells you everything you need to know.
It's a backward, jobs for the boys, old school tie institution, through and through.

Are the ‘move on’ cabal at the SFA just going to take the piss and try and appoint EBT recipient after EBT recipient to every position?
Time for a root and branch restructure of football authorities in this country. **** the Glasgow media and their media darlings that have been complicit in us arriving at this position as well.

"If other clubs, if people in the media, if fans of different teams, don’t want to utilise that and our knowledge and our expertise and have people from Celtic advising and assisting and taking positions of responsibility within the sport, harnessing their ideas … then Hell mend them and hell mend the whole of the national sport"

We should be utilising and learning from the experience of all the clubs, to ignore and not use the experience of the biggest and most successful club is daft IMO.
