Time to take political action?

So, if you’ve read the open letter from the Scottish Football Supporters Association (SFSA)

yesterday, you might want to know what YOU can do now.

Interested?

Read on…

Regular readers might recall my report on Ian Maxwell’s car crash meeting with the Scottish Government Health and Safety Committee on 19 December.

You can read it here.  

Now, this is an opportunity for every reader to do something simple and effective to bring the Scottish Football Association finally to account.

The Scottish Football Supporters Association (SFSA) needs your help to achieve the following:

Fans are treated with the respect they deserve as the key economic heart of the game in Scotland.

Transparency.

Accountability

Professional Governance.

Fans having a say in how OUR game is run.

An independent Regulator giving oversight of our game.

 

If you want to make a difference, then contact your MSP to get them to be part of the debate.

Find your MSP here https://www.parliament.scot/msps/current-and-previous-msps

There is a template you can use at

but you can download to your screen the SFSA  Fans proposals in the link:

It sets out the reasons why oversight is necessary.

You, as a voter, might want to emphasise the following to your  MSP:

Cost of SFA misgovernance to the Tax Payer.

1 . The SFA are the same establishment along with the SPL whose gross mishandling of the Rangers 2012 financial crash set up a series of nightmarish future scenarios that along with tax evaded by their use of unlawful EBTS have cost Scottish/UK Taxpayers around an estimated £100 Million. As a taxpayer, I believe the Scottish Government has a responsibility to taxpayers to ensure this cannot happen again by introducing a Regulator whose job is to ensure that the SFA operates as it should.

Restoring Sporting Integrity Lost to Scottish Football in 2012.

2 The SFA is the establishment that was party to the secret 5-Way Agreement undermining the integrity that football requires to be a sport. A secret agreement that UEFA never saw and appears to conflict with UEFA rules designed to protect the integrity of UEFA competitions.

Surrender of SFA Power to Govern.

3. The SFA are the same establishment that, in May 2020, abandoned their own ‘Judicial Panel Disciplinary Tribunal’ looking at a possible breach of UEFA Rules in 2011 regarding overdue payables to HMRC. This is where the SFA lost all authority to be governors of Scottish football when they dropped their own disciplinary process and chose not to involve the Court for Arbitration of Sport (CAS) to restore sporting justice to our game.

Now, you know what you can do to stop being an impotent onlooker.
