We should pick our fights and only fight the ones we can win. Celtic have clearly been trying to build a broad alliance at the SFA. Peter Lawwell interview with Tom English was a call to arms to change the individuals on the Board. Ian Maxwell and the modernisers are now in control
The problem is that whilst we were successful in changing and getting rid of some of the old guard we didn't know if the new faces would be able to change. The thing is, if anything, the bias in favour of Sevco is worse with the compliance officer and Discipline department continuing to favour Sevco with some unbelievable decisions. Not only that, Ian Maxwell has performed badly in the child abuse issue and dealt with the matter in a ham fisted way. He didn't look competent.
We tried to get independent faces in charge but in looking for open handed fairness, we came down with the existing staff still showing their bias. McLeish is gradually getting rid of our players in the national team. McGregor in for Gordon, Robertson as Captain instead of Tierney, Naismith instead of Griff, Forrest excluded. He is also introducing Sevco players and it looks like McGregor, Jack, Dorrans and Murphy will be starters with only Celt Tierney, playing out of position.
We need a more functional plan than just replacing individuals on the Board. the SFA needs reformed not just changing the names
