RST Calls for SFA Board to Remove Stewart Regan from CEO

[Juancornetto 1]

If nothing else Regan is guilty of extreme negligence. Having been made aware of Craig Whyte's dastardly deeds as long ago as last year and choosing to ignore it, that alone should have seen him walk but when you also consider that he took no action whatsoever to try to head this crisis off by drafting new rules and regulations for clubs who's corporate vehicles cease to trade it's really , really puzzling that he's still in his position and seems to have the authority to push the big red button.

 

If this helps even a little to push the Board to act then it should be applauded. The fact that the Board contains the Chief Executive of Celtic (and former business associate) is of course neither here nor there.

Regan is out of his depth in Scottish Football and I believe he knows it.

 

Essentially he is an administrator and he did an excellent job re-shaping the SFA along the lines of the McLeish Report, which was no mean feat given all the "blazers" who lost committee positions as a result. He is also a champion of one league and a pyramid system both of which are badly needed.

 

However, he is no match whatsover for Doncaster who is a political animal who fights dirty from the trenches.

 

Regan has no power himself he only has the power that the clubs and the rules give him and he has misused both.

 

I am sure he wishes he had never left Yorkshire and I am equally sure he won't be here this time next season.

 

I hope you are wrong on that.

 

Another year of him may kill our club completely.

See other post; I think he'll be gone sooner rather than later.

It is my understanding that Regan will resign in the very near future. (possibly next Monday or Tuesday)

Sky have stated that they will terminate their contract and are using this almighty cock up as a re-negotiating tool for a much lesser deal.

Considering that we (the SPL and the SFA) already have a much smaller deal than league's and countries of similar size we are now in a hell of a mess.

 

I have been told that Regan has been told by at least two members of the board that his time is up.

I do not know, but believe these two to be Ralph Topping and Alan McRae.

THE administrators are coming under increasing pressure as Scottish football reels in the wake of the Rangers crisis.

 

SFL clubs meet today to decide whether or not newco Rangers will be allowed membership and at what level, with the Third Division, rather than the SFA and SPL’s preferred option of the First Division, the club’s likely destination.

 

However, Clyde last night queried why they should vote at all on a newco for which the Bully Wee have seen “no business plan, list of directors, details of ownership, statement of capital adequacy or any proposals relating to the provision of any similar information in the near future.

 

“Whilst the notion that there is a leap of faith to be taken in terms of some of the matters, there can be no leap of faith with something as fundamental as knowing who is being admitted to the league.”

 

ì

He doesn’t have a clue what goes on at this level of football, not a clue

î

 

Raith Rovers director Turnbull Hutton

 

If proper details on the newco are not given to SFL clubs ahead of the meeting, the Clyde view could gather momentum.

 

And there are signs that SFL clubs have had enough of Regan and Doncaster.

 

Last night outspoken Raith Rovers director Turnbull Hutton asked if their positions were now untenable.

 

He accused the SPL and SFL of “making it up as they go along” and rapped: “Regan does not have my vote for a start. I’d hope there would be enough people who would say this guy has been a disaster.

 

“He doesn’t have a clue what goes on at this level of football, not a clue.

 

“The current leaders are in their ivory tower, concerned solely about finances, and have no idea what is happening down here.”

 

That view was more or less echoed by Elgin City chief Graham Tatters, whose surname sums up the state of the game right now.

 

He said: “It disappoints me this wasn’t dealt with at a higher level. We seem to have a lot of managers in Scottish football but not many leaders.

 

“Mr Regan and Mr Doncaster when this is all finished need to seriously look at their positions to see if they’re tenable.”

 

These are thoughts circulating throughout the SFL The clubs believe they have had this momentous decision dumped on them with “sweeteners” like league reconstruction and a more equal distribution of cash designed to get them to vote the Sevco Scotland Ltd entity into the second tier of the game.

 

Now, with D-Day for Scottish football seemingly upon us, the waters remain so muddy it could be that a decision is still not taken today.

 

And if one is made and it consigns the newco to the Third Division, then it’s been suggested the SFA and SPL might push for an SPL2 to accommodate the Ibrox club.

 

Hutton, though, had his own answer to that possibility as he continued to berate the game’s hierarchy.

 

The Raith chief added added: “AN SPL2 coming along as a threat?

 

“Because the Scottish Premier League is such a wonderful organisation who have made such a great job of the

Premir League that they will take over the rest of the game?

 

“They would be laughed out of town. They would never get away with that.

 

“There would be such an outcry throughout Scottish football – that would certainly be the last throw of the dice from two discredited leaders.”
