FINANCIAL FAIR PLAY
Which brings me to the next sunny point.
If Celtic and this guy aren’t pushing for Scottish teams to be accountable under SFA financial fair play then almost everything else is a waste of their time. This is for the good of the whole game; limit clubs to spending what they earn and you ensure sporting integrity and you stop teams from ever getting into trouble again.
Club chairman who don’t support this … frankly I wonder what planet they are on.
They certainly don’t care about their own financial security or that of their clubs. Many of them already voluntarily follow FFP processes, and keep themselves broadly in line with UEFA regulations. Only the handful who do not would have anything to worry about.
And those clubs have nothing to worry about either, because they will be better run and in greater health. That, surely, is a goal worth striving for and Celtic should be way out in front of it, and not only because we, ourselves, follow FFP guidelines rigorously.
It’s simply the right thing to do … and if Sevco goes on one last gasp spending spree, which by some miracle succeeds and they take a title from us whilst the Celtic board has stood idly by and watched it … who do you reckon our fans are going to blame?
Not the SFA, I can assure you.
