Time for George Peat to resign?

[Tannochsidebear 2,405]

I would like to know what qualifications Peat has for the job, apart from being next in line.

 

What qualities has he shown at his club or in previous administrative positions to make him the top dog in our top sport earning top dough?

 

Why do we not go out and get successful businessmen to come in with a big brush and sweep the whole place of its ancient procedures, and get some new ideas as to how to improve our lot, or new funding to help us compete both at club and international level, whilst providing coaching academies in every decent-sized town throughout the country with qualified coaches, proper facilities, and free for the kids. To assist and educate clubs as to how to get more than 500 punters through their doors for a league match.

 

But no, as long as he gets to go away, first class all the way, with the squad and gets his mugshot in the papers every now and then, to hell with the rest of it.

Couldn't agree more!! It's like an old dirty wooden box that's been sitting in a garage or garden shed that either needs the cobwebs cleaned off, cleaned up & put to good use or thrown in the skip & replaced with a nice new one of some worthiness. In other words, the SFA needs a serious shake up like the rest of Scottish football. All you ever here people saying when talking about football in Scotland is how there isn't any money in our game, especially in comparison to the EPL. Well why not address that issue? You can be sure that there's plenty of money being made from Scottish football that isn't going directly back into the sport. There's plenty people lining there pockets with big fat salaries that pay for houses worth millions & cars that only millionaires should be driving. Tisk tisk. So there's no money in Scottish football? Pull the other one!! On the agenda should be telling Sky & Setanta to feed off after setting up a Scottish Football digital channel that puts the Sport first, puts all profits back into the sport & doesn't pay it's executives salaries that make them millionaires within 3 or 4 years. Sort that out before Hampden you muppets.

Just to bump this thread and add that the events of the past week, with the whitewash of non-Rangers players that is occuring is totally disgusting and it is obvious that he had a hand in the sine die banning of the Rangers players.

 

How long is this anti-Rangers maggot to be allowed to damage our club?

Yip, he hardly hides his anti-Rangers agenda and it's time for him to go.

 

As for Hampdump, a total waste of money and instead of redeveloping Hampden, the SFA should either have got into bed with the SRU and rented Murrayfield or built a new national stadium that has easy access from motorways, and in a more central location.

the SFA is the same junket it always has been

 

 

old stubborn balloons, setting up jobs for the next old stubborn balloon to take over

 

 

they only employ a chief executive to take the heat off of them

I agree with that although it would be throwing away the most historic stadium in the world - you could say it's the "home" of international football.

 

I laugh at the English when they think that it's Wembley, when Hamden was a full international stadium about 70 years before the English stadium which was used only for Scotland games about 45 years after Hamden opened, until the 50's.

 

It's something we don't make enough of and the stadium is not in a fit state to reflect it's amazing history.

The scale of change required at National level is almost on a par with the scale of change required at our club.

 

Both institutions have gotten stale, corrupt, and lost the focus of what it was they were there for in the first place.

 

As far as Peat is concerned, I refer back to my post earlier in this thread. Nothing has changed in this regard, and he is well out of his depth. Remind me again which club he ran into the ground and how they are doing now?

 

As for the SFA, SPL and SFL, we are too small to have 3 gravy trains in our country. They have to merge, become one streamlined organisation with a proper CEO in charge of it who does not answer to any committees of part-time, self-interest seeking blazers who cannot even run their own clubs successfully.

 

Kick out Queens Park from Hampden. They clearly cannot afford a market value rent for a 52,000 stadium when their crowds rarely exceed 1,000. So it is unfair to every other club in the SFL that they get such an advantage. This might even help the much-criticised pitch.

 

I would not have spent the money on upgrading Hampden either. Murrayfield is a fantastic stadium and it is only the thought of 52,000 old firm fans on the M8 that worries people. However these events are quite rare so should pose no problem, as alternatives include alternating between Ibrox and the piggery if the OF meet in cup semis or finals, or make them two-legged affairs, with the proceeds from the extra game going to charity. But it is done now, so we have to make the most of it, and we clearly do not.

 

We are also making a laughing stock of the game by insisting that the cup semi between Dunfermline and Falkirk is played at Hampden. Surely a full Easter Road would make for a better spetacle than a quarter full Hampden?
