Tom Irish has recently written (within a rather long article). He's no friend of ours so an interesting take on it:
"Celtic know that they have no legal recourse against the SFA's decision to turn down the invitation for an independent review, so the only avenue available to them is to try to galvanise the rest of Scottish football into piling the pressure on the SFA to do a U-turn."
"They've got a mighty job on their hands."
"This is a Scottish football spectacle and, as such, the plot is complex. Lawwell says that the SPFL request for an independent review of football governance in 2012 is "on behalf of the 42 professional clubs in Scotland". But is it? Do the clubs really want it?"
"Yes, it is the view of the SPFL board, who represent the clubs, that there should be a review, but all 42 professional clubs have not been asked for their thoughts. Some of those that have been asked by the media have said they don't agree with the call for a review"
"They feel that the game could eat itself if it carries on like this forever. That rather undermines the mandate of the SPFL board."
"One of the biggest clubs in the country, Aberdeen, are firmly against revisiting old ground and examining new ground. Kilmarnock , too. There are many others who don't back a review but who are unprepared to go public with their reasons why."
"Celtic don't have sufficient allies to take this much further."
Just in case you want to read the whole article so as not to take the above out of context here is the link
