View From Gorgie

As I promised last week dear reader, I have now written a letter to Henry McLeish at the Scottish Football Review and I have emailed it this morning along with a copy of the petition.

The letter was basically just an outline of what I think the damage the 5% tax will do to Scottish Football. I also pointed out how blatantly apathetic the SFA and Scottish Government have been regarding the situation.

And, of course, I gave special mention to the SPL’s “If we don’t have a specific rule banning it then the Old Firm can do what they want to who they want” stance.

The letter also included a link to this blog and I really hope that Mr Mcleish or somebody working on his behalf will be able to take the time to read through the blog entries and the petition.

I am still of the firm belief that this 5% nonsense is deliberately ant-competitive if not plain illegal. Hopefully, whatever this review panel decide to recommend for the future of our game, it will include methods and rules that will stop Rangers and Celtic (or any other club in the future for that matter) from fleecing Scottish Football and bankrupting smaller clubs.
