Ludo*1 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 6 minutes ago, Ad Lib said: I think you'll find the reason that the Chief Executive of the SPFL is on the Board of the SFA is because the Articles of Association of the SFA explicitly contemplate it. Article 64.3 of the SFA Articles sets up the Professional Game Board. On that board, among others, are to sit five Article 61(2)(e) of the SFA Articles then states that, among the members of the SFA Board itself there shall be: Therefore Ian Maxwell will not have decided whether Neil Doncaster was to be appointed as a Director of the SFA. Neil Doncaster is, ex officio on the Professional Game Board, which will then have nominated him as one of their two representatives on the main SFA Board. But sure, engage in a conspiracy theory. 6 minutes ago, Bishop Briggs said: ^ That's typical of a Dundonian - too obsessed and thick to post a sensible reply.

In everyday English it surely means for a short time and is not meant to be permanent. It means the position on the Professional Game Board is ex officio for the SPFL Chief Executive. That person is entitled to be on it by virtue of being, and for as long as he or she is, the SPFL CEO. When someone replaces him or her in the SPFL post he or she also replaces him or her on the Professional Game Board. Since the Professional Game Board’s representatives on the SFA Board are nominated from among their membership and reappointed annually, Doncaster’s position is both: (a) temporary and reviewable (b) a consequence of his being the SPFL CEO My point being there is absolutely nothing untoward about him being an SFA Director. No “conflict of interest”. The SFA specifically anticipate that senior reps of the SPFL will form an important part of its management structure. Quote Articles of Associations, rules and regulations aren’t the only documents to be considered. If there is anything contradictory in those documents compared to the Companies Act the Companies Act will be given preference What provisions of the Companies Act, exactly, do you think Neil Doncaster being an SFA Director is inconsistent with? Specific sections and Schedules please. 3 hours ago, jagsfan57 said: The Professional Game board appoint themselves ? The AoA set out the membership of the Professional Game Board.

We might be playing in the third tier next year but are still definitely box office. Dunfermline fans have had a chip on their shoulder since our promotion season which coincided with them entering administration and being relegated via the play-offs. The 5-1 home game was phenomenal and what started to make me believe we were going to win the league. We shagged them 4-0 at East End Park and their fans were seething when we were waving cash money at them across the stands. They were also furious after the 3-3 game when we were on the pitch celebrating the title. I found it all hilarious tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some quality ‘haud me back’ gestures from the Main Stand rounded off by the Thistle da abusing their fans with his young daughter in his arms. Lovely stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that everyone has been saying that everything that the SPFL has done is allowed because it is in the Articles and/or the rules. But if something had been done that is contrary to the companies act, then it isn’t allowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hasn’t, he is not doing his job. The fact that people, more in the know than anyone on this site, are saying it’s 50/50, should be sending alarm bells ringing very loudly!!
