Who's job is it count them! Impossible job, they all look the same, you'd never keep track!Just one of the 1.3 million over running our city just now.

GV6? This is the first time i have heard a name quoted for the 3rd party, who are they?So both this guy Bridges of cinch and Steve Maddren of GV6 (the 3rd party who got the £500k) both worked for McLennan in the past
A nest of vipers

Someone should be doing a thorough investigation of the middle manWhich raises the question, why did we need to pay a middle-man to secure this deal, if there were executives with a history of working together? Surely the two parties could’ve secured this deal themselves?
You can also understand the reluctance of Rangers to provide details of their deal with Parks given the potential flow of information both ways.I'm not sure there is a conflict if interest. Relationships play a big part in a great many commercial deals.
For me, given the relationship, the big question is why they needed an intermediary and who is getting a piece of the £500k. As they say, 'follow the money'..
More than one mate but I’m with you.I smell a rat
I think that the arbitration process dictates acceptance on all parties and there is not an option other than to accept the outcome.Why on earth did Rangers, before-hand, agree to abide by the ruling no matter the outcome? any sort of basic due diligence by our lawyers/directors would have surely thrown this up?
Why agree to abide by a corrupt organisations request, during a corrupt process in a corrupt court of law?
Why not just stand our ground if our contractual obligations were watertight - which is what we were told.

Don’t think that’s an option as legal action within the game prevents entry into European football.Don't enter into it then (arbitration).
Just stand your ground if it's watertight and say see you in court, where you'll lose.
Hmmmm......
Robert Bridge, now a senior exec at cinch, was hired by telegraph media group in 2016 and reported directly to Murdoch MacLennan.
Story in the Times tomorrow.
Look at the names of the directors of that company3rd party was: https://www.sportcollective.com/#
Their background seems to check out ok as far as I can tell. Can’t see a reason why they would have been needed though, in light of the revelation that MacLennan has previously worked with the cinch CEO and could have brought them on board himself.
Our board will know exactly what has happened throughout, and I think we need to trust them on this.
Conflict of Interest loyalBet they weren’t expecting this to be disclosed.
Presumably the exec disclosed this conflict of interest and removed himself from the negotiating table ?

If you read the sportcollective web site it states the SPFL sponsorship was delivered by a partnership sportcollective GV63rd party was: https://www.sportcollective.com/#

One thing I'm certain of if a guy like him was in charge we wouldn't be short of sponsors and partners ffs manThe web keeps on growin’
it’s like them lucrative government contracts. Imagine what the SPFL could be with someone like Bisgrove involved.
Turkeys christmas etc
So why did 500 grand go to a 3rd party if it was as simple as you suggest?Don't see what the problem is here.
Guy asks someone he used to work with if they fancy sponsoring his new company's product.
If you read the sportcollective web site it states the SPFL sponsorship was delivered by a partnership sportcollective GV6
the chief exec of GV6 is Steve Maddren was Brand Manager at Associated Newspapers when McLennan was MD

Scotland, the land of whisky and coincidences.Another day, another...ahem, coincidence.
Could there be a difference between crossing paths and directly reporting / hired by the other party though Coza ? Bridges hasnt had many employers and it’s not working at the Local Sainsbury that’s being highlighted here .Agree with this. I read the story and thought top executives will cross paths all the time. The finders fee for a company actively scouring the football world for deals remains the dodgy aspect of this in my opinion.
When national government gets away with blatant corruption, others follow their example. There will be a day of reckoning yet and all their walls will come tumbling down.The web keeps on growin’

Totally agree.So why did 500 grand go to a 3rd party if it was as simple as you suggest?
Uefa would come down hard on a club going to court as they enjoy the dictatorship that they currently runI know what you are saying but surely if our position is watertight like we claimed, you can take it to court outside of the footballing Kangeroo process regards their rules. I know it's frowned upon but who cares?
You would think so.Which raises the question, why did we need to pay a middle-man to secure this deal, if there were executives with a history of working together? Surely the two parties could’ve secured this deal themselves?
Wonder if one of the middlemen receiving a cut had initials M McL?Which raises the question, why did we need to pay a middle-man to secure this deal, if there were executives with a history of working together? Surely the two parties could’ve secured this deal themselves?
