BrahimHemdani 1 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Regan wasn't known as Lawwell's bitch long before administration for no reason Regan is not just the clubs' mouthpiece. He is given the authority to run the organisation and makes daily, weekly and monthly decisions on his own without reference to the clubs. Yes of course as CEO, he has day to day authority, BD, though a lot less authority I would venture to suggest than in the days of WP Allan and Ernie Walker.. My point was about "any decisions against Rangers". I think he knows where his authority ends and the politics begins. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His authority ends well after the politics begin. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 His authority ends well after the politics begin. The CEO is the Secretary and this is all that is aid in the SFA Articles: 69. Secretary Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Secretary shall be appointed by the Board for such time, at such remuneration and upon such conditions as it may think fit, and any Secretary so appointed may be removed by it. The Board may from time to time by resolution appoint an assistant or deputy Secretary, and any person so appointed may act in place of the Secretary if there be no Secretary or no Secretary capable of acting. The Secretary shall ordinarily also serve in the capacity of Chief Executive but, at the entire discretion of the Board, different persons may be appointed to office as the Secretary and the Chief Executive, respectively. All the power rests in the Board: 62. Powers of the Board 62.1 The management of the business and the control of the Scottish FA shall be vested in the Board, which shall be entitled to exercise all such powers and carry out all such objects of the Scottish FA as are not by these Articles or by statute expressly directed or required to be exercised or done by the Scottish FA in general meeting subject, nevertheless, to any regulations from time to time made by the Scottish FA in general meeting, provided that no regulation shall invalidate any prior act of the Board which would have been valid if such regulation had not been made. 62.2 Without prejudice to the general powers conferred by Article 62.1 and of the other powers conferred by these Articles, it is hereby expressly declared that the Board shall have the following powers:- (a) it may make, alter and revoke all such rules, bye-laws and regulations relative to the use of the property of the Scottish FA and to the conduct or holding of meetings, or for such other purpose as it may deem fit and proper, provided that no rule, bye-law, or regulation shall be made under the foregoing which would amount to such an addition to or alteration of these Articles as could only by law be made by a resolution of the members; (b) it may draw, make, accept, endorse, discount, execute and issue, respectively, promissory notes, bills, cheques or other negotiable instruments, provided that every promissory note, bill, cheque or other negotiable instrument drawn, made, accepted, endorsed, discounted, executed or issued shall be signed by the President, the First Vice-President, the Second Vice-President The list is too long to publish here. Obviously they delegate certain of these powers and the day to day running of the organisation to the CEO but there is no doubt who has the power and it is not the CEO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actions of the CEO over the past few years prove otherwise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
