tamthebam Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40577016 Former Telegraph Group Chief Executive Murdoch McLennan has been unveiled as the new Chairman of the SPFL. I knew his name as he was often lampooned in the "Street of Shame" pages of Private Eye as being a doddery old fool out of touch with information technology while looking to make the latest cuts to the once mighty Telegraph. He was given the nickname "Shifty McGifty" who is apparently an unsuccessful canine burglar in a kids' book. He sounds just the chap to take the ailing Scottish game forward- I wonder if there will be any mention in the next Private Eye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Regularly lampooned for his abject failure to understand the modern world in general, and digital media in particular. Exactly what does he bring to the governance of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Sounds like he'll fit right in at the SPFL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdTheDuck Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Never heard of him but having looked into his history he really will be right at home among the dusty dinosaur bones at Hampden. What a fucking beaut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
