SFA board to approach Walter Smith

[Tornadoes70]

Your stance appears to be to congratulate Petrie for getting rid of dead wood like Raegan, but also to support Petrie if he voted for Reagan to stay as he probably had a good reason.

Are you Rod Petrie? ��

I could always change my handle to the Rodfather i suppose :greengrin.

Just giving a different opinion from those whose (mainly media) targets appear to me to include preventing our Rod from becoming SFA President for whatever reason.





mon the cabbage!!!

[snooky]

Agreed. Regan would have been aided from his fellow hun facing factions.

Well done to Rod and co for getting rid

mon the cabbage!!!

Pin the tale <sic> on the donkey? :hmmm:

[Billy Whizz]

Just heard Peter Lawell on Sportsound. He was scathing of people currently in the SFA, and said Regan has taken the rap, that others on the board should have had for the poor performances
He mentioned that there were 2/3 capable people on the SFA board, and our Rod wasn’t one of them😄

[Lago]

I'm assuming it was the Daily Radar.

However Rod voted is absolutely irrelevant to me in any case and establishes zero. There may have been very good reason for the way he voted if he did vote to retain Regan as to preventing opposing factions from causing chaos within, only Rod could tell us his reasoning. I'm only interested in seeing our club's chairman ascending to the top at the SFA in due course. It appears there are many who would prefer to dismantle it rather than have our Rod at the helm.

mon the cabbage!!!
Hopefully it will be dismantled, its an anachronism.

[Hibs07p]

Has anyone entertained the thought that Regan might have manufactured his own escape route from the SFA. IMO he appears to have been under extreme influence from the corruption of The Rangers minded SFA employees already there, and backed up by the MSM. He should have been taken to task long ago regarding the The Rangers shambles of 5 years ago, never mind being unable to recruit a new Scotland manager. It could be that the only way he was going to escape the clutches of The Great Hun Conspiracy was by falling on his own sword in his own manufactured **** up!

It's not even surprising now. They could have played that game at Glebe Park and they'd struggle to sell out.

[Ozyhibby]

Lawell was just asked on the radio if there were any positives for the SFA just now and he named 4 people who could take the organisation forward. No mention of Petrie or Macrae.

Lawell knows exactly what he’s doing. That is a very public withdrawal of support. I’d imagine we will see a lot more pressure on Petrie now.

Doubt he has the diplomacy for the role. Don’t be surprised if he is one of the attack dogs released to give anti Petrie interviews shortly. Now that Lawell has withdrawn support he won’t just leave it at that.

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.

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 thought at the time that the move on statement was the wrong choice for Hibs morally and in the long run commercially as well. I could not see any benefit for us as a club standing with the bad guys. It now looks like it is going to cost Petrie personally and Hibs through loss of influence at the SFA.

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?

100% correct.

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.

You may well be right about Lawwell but until we know the specifics of what he wants and how he's intends getting there it how can we judge? It may be that what he wants to see would benefit both Celtic and the other clubs. Who knows? As far as I can see all he's suggested so far is that the SFA is a mess and we need to get some more good people in. Anyone disagree?

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?

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.

It seems to me at this juncture to be a Glasgow coup to wrestle control and ensure our Rod does not ascend to become SFA President. I'm at a loss here as to how the Glasgow two assuming control of the existing body or new body is in any way good for the rest of us in my opinion.

Fair dos mate. No one can reasonably criticise your position and you often make very good thoughtful points. I'm merely suspicious of the stance being taken here by both cheeks of the Glasgow two as they appear to be on the same page in calling for heads to roll especially our Rod.

I’ve no doubt they will be on the same page. That interview last night did not just happen by accident. There will be a co-ordinated campaign, I’m sure.
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.

[Baldy Foghorn]

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.

"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"

Perhaps I should have said you should read it.

The sense of overinflated ego and entitlement is hilarious. The last paragraph just puts the tin lid on it - the passive agressive nonsense, sniping from the sidelines, allowing everyone else to "screw it all up" then Celtic riding in like a white knight to clean house - that's what this is all about.

It's undisguised - " I know, it's such a mess.....what? You want me to help out? well I don't know. I'm so busy and important but....I do have one or two ideas - there will be some conditions, of course"

I repeat, I'm no Petrie fan, but having Lawell running the game? No thanks

[stoneyburn hibs]

I agree with what Lawell said other than that there still should be the two bodies.
That said , if we had one body (working to progress) it would surely make it easier for the whole of the game ?
It seems like the blazers are hell bent on stifling our game?? There's been so many suggestions/theories, why are we still at the same point as 20 years ago?

If Petrie is one of the main people involved in the recruitment process surely there’s a massive conflict of interest here?!

I’ve nothing really against Petrie but whoever’s involved in the decision making process surely should only have the national teams best interest at heart and if the hibs manager could be a contender he needs to step aside from any committee or whatever else he’s involved with in connection to this.

Football fans are fickle and a good result or two would see all forgiven. Apart from some bammy Rangers fans and first of all they probably support Northern Ireland anyway and secondly we shouldn’t be making decisions based on being scared to upset the morons.

I see Graham Murty is in the papers this morning praising Neil Lennon and there was a story in the papers during the week about him visiting prisoners in the jail, combined with a couple of journalists and of course Brendan Rodgers all suggesting him, I hope there’s not a bit of a charm offensive going on.

(I’m not saying for a second Lennon only made that visit to the jail to impress people, I’m just not sure it would always have made the papers)

Some Hibs fans still seem to have an issue with Lennon even after how well he does with us.

I can’t see Lennon going to for Scotland job right now - I would think one day he will manage Northern Ireland though.

What about other managers ? McInnes (don’t actually rate him but higher up than Lennon)

What’s the thoughts on 2 bodies or 1 ? What would be the best way forward?

As I’ve said before doesn’t matter if Pep was new manager it’s to do with those running the game and the lack of world class players we produce here.

Yes but I doubt that would be a consideration in taking or not taking the job. It’s not like he would have daily dealings with him. That aside surelyit would be whiever was dissing him rather than Petrie he would have a grudge against.

[ancient hibee]

Lawell was so keen on being involved in running Scottish football that he came off the SFA board when he didn’t have too.It would be a disaster if the professional clubs ran the whole operation.They haven’t produced one world class player between them in the last 20 years.The OF concentration on bringing in foreign players at the expense of developing Scottish talent has had a really devastating effect.
