Simple question: how can he be removed from his post?

 

Leaving aside his role in our expulsion from the Premiership, his inability to win support for "impossible" reconstruction and his "absolute delight" at the damage he has done (maybe one for the Compliance Officer), this man has been paid a fortune over the last decade and has done absolutely nothing to merit his continued employment.

 

Instead of promoting the diversity of Scottish football in all the leagues, he has championed the duopoly of the Old Firm at every turn. In every situation, his primary concern has been the impact on Celtic and Rangers. His Armageddon prediction back in 2012 should never be forgotten. His desperate attempt to keep Rangers in the Premiership, or at worst the Championship, is the equivalent of his desperate attempt to ensure Celtic were still awarded 9 in a row.

 

He has failed in the basic task of negotiating a good (and ethical) sponsorship deal for the league, which is hardly surprising because he clearly doesn't believe in the product he is paid to promote. His shock and mishandling of the offer of money from James Anderson shows how little he expects people to want to invest in our game.

 

Likewise the "best ever" TV deal he has negotiated with Sky is not significantly better than what has gone before. Basically just an inflation increase. Compared to other leagues that have negotiated huge increases year on year, we are left with crumbs from the table. There is clear evidence over the last few months that he is scared of doing anything to upset Sky and had to be forced into asking if they would be OK with a 14 team top league. Leaving money aside, the general consensus was that the BT Sport coverage was better which makes you wonder if he cares what actual fans think.

 

He likes to be quoted as saying that he is a servant of the clubs (although he doesn't specify if he means 2 or 42). But how do the clubs get rid of their servant? Is his performance reviewed by the Board? Would it require both Celtic and Rangers to vote him out? 

 

What is the process for removing him from his post? Unfortunately, given the monumental mess he has made of running Scottish football, we can't expect him to get a job offer anywhere else.

With no league sponsor I'd have thought a vote of no confidence would see him depart.

 

He's like a leech to scottish football.

I’m afraid that Scottish football is stuck with him. Lawwell and his cabal are more than happy with what he’s doing, which is stagnating the growth of clubs outside of Celtic Park.

Every poor broadcasting deal, every poor sponsorship of the SPFL, is denying clubs, who may be able to have a freak season, the finance to make it remotely possible. This has guaranteed Celtic the Champions League money, every season of the last 9. 
Scottish football is in a terrible decline, with no hope of redemption while the current mob of gangsters are in positions of power at the SFA and SPFL.

The press lament at not being able to get a free trip to World Cup Finals or Euro Finals,  to report on Scotland, but are either too thick, or too frightened, to ask why significant change isn’t made to make an improvement to the chances.

Eventually, Celtic, and probably Rangers, will manage to break into some circus of semi elite European clubs. Whether Scottish football has the balls to make sure they don’t leave “colts” teams in the SPFL, will be the crucial question. 
Given the fear and subservience of the sports media and clubs, I wouldn’t be too confident. This current episode has shown up Scottish football to be as deceitful and corrupt as any protection racket run by mobsters the world over.

We ,the clubs , employ him .

Ignoring the legal rights and wrongs of our case , it was entirely his fault that this ended up in court . That is assuming he wasn't following orders from someone . Which , of course , wouldn't be the case as he would then be in breach of contract .

His negotiating abilities are legendary .

Again , anywhere else , his incompetence would lead to instant dismissal .

Yet he appears to be untouchable .

Many would wonder how this could be possible

Scottish football is stuck with him for a long time yet  ,only way he will go is if some other organisation head hunts him ,can you see the likes of the FA or anybody else want the useless  fecker .

Our league is being laughed at all over Europe .

Do we have a sponsor yet ?.

Years if failure and they just give him more money and jobs .

He is useful placeman for Celtic ,he has no shame and no scruples .

And when he does eventually go the mafia will replace him with sombody similar .

It's actually concerning but completely understandable that he in particular would not actually be safe at Tynecastle.  I wouldn't lay a finger on him, I'm sure you wouldn't but someone may be so incensed they wouldn't be able to hold back.

When Celtic and namely, Lawwell no longer have a use for him, that's when he will go.

I am furious with his behaviour throughout this scenario:

 

Jumping the gun to call the leagues

Sending out the resolution to call the leagues without passing it by the board

linking the resolution to cash payouts 

Railroading the clubs by slagging off other options then forgetting to mention that his solution came with a huge clawback to Sky and BT

Telling Aberdeen there vote didn’t matter

Reporting back to Peter at 5.01

The Dundee vote

Calling Ann a liar for saying that loans couldn’t have been provided only for the loan to Gretna to prove to be an advance same as provided to Motherwell 

Replying to Rangers dossier one hour after it was released to claim there was nothing in it when there was a huge amount in it

Going on Sky and lying to say that all clubs agreed to the season being curtailed

His self congratulory message as we are having to take an £8 million hit due to being demoted

 

To be fair he is a product of his environment and whilst our league rules are vague to allow the SPFL to pander to two clubs then this is the kind of cretin that will fill the post.

No league sponsor means he is removed from his post. It is his responsibility and he is proven to be incapable. 
 

mind you, this is Scottish Football so it doesn’t matter if you fail at the SPFL, your job is safe.

The only way any of this can be stopped is by the clubs themselves. The problem is that there are far too many grade A Old Firm Arse lickers in charge  of many clubs  in the lower leagues. We now have one standing in for Petrie at the SFA. I’m beginning to think the only way to sort this out is for clubs with a bit of morality to break away from the SPFL and form their own league. If sufficient had the courage to do this it would totally re shape the game here and we could be rid of leeches like Doncaster. Fairness and integrity would be the cornerstone of the league which would obviously exclude either of the bigot brothers. They could either continue to play with their minions or bugger off else where.

He’s a classless prick.  ‘Absolutely delighted’ that staff at hearts and partick could be made redundant because we’ve been removed from our leagues by a vote.

He definitely isn’t safe at Tynecastle. There is no way he will be back. I’m sure the Police will advise him that they couldn’t guarantee his safety and should stay away.

He's an odious , smug prick, who has done nothing but reinforce the duopoly in our game and hasn't even been able to get a sponsor for the league last season..

This speccy prick has tried to destroy us, if the clubs in Scottish football had any balls they would back change. We the fans through supporting our clubs pay his wages.....in turn he made it his priority to try and harm us and others. There must be a way to rid our game of these self centred money grabbing leeches who bleed our game dry.

He's not interested in Scottish Football. He's only interested in two teams both of which like to remind us constantly how very un-Scottish they are.

I think it goes without saying that Neil and his cronies will not be attending any matches at tynecastle ever again. If they want their usual freebie jollies at Tynecastle, those need cancelled. If Neil wants a seat, he can buy one in with the hearts fans who will make him feel welcome I’m sure.

 

other than SFA match day officials that are required, there should be zero presence from governing bodies or from other clubs chairman and staff at tynecastle.

I am still amazed it is 11 years since he was appointed in charge. How anyone can look at his performance and think that he has done a good job is beyond me. Though is both a problem for Scottish football and a symptom of wider issues.

Lets not beat about the bush here. The only way Doncaster goes is if Celtic want it to happen. End of. No point in discussing it any further.

According to the SPFL Articles of Association the Chief Executive can only be removed by the SPFL Board. So no chance of that happening anytime soon.

There is very likely a "clause" in the bowels of the SPFL constitution that affords Celtic the power of veto over any attempts to remove one of their lackies from the seat of power😷

To be honest I don't really care about him being removed from power anymore. 

 

We've been completely shafted and it looks like nothing will change this. As I no longer give a **** about Scottish football, let him screw other clubs over, let him leave league's without a sponsor. 

 

We now look after ourselves only. If reconstruction comes up in the future, I hope we tell them to ram it. If clubs want our support to make changes in the game we tell them where to go. I no longer want what's best for Scottish football. I don't care if clubs are promoting youth. I don't care about co-efficient's. I don't care about promoting the game...and so on. 

 

Scottish football has the leadership it deserves. Our fanbase will always ensure Hearts will be fine, we will always step up and be counted - it has been that way for as long as I have known. Let the rest of them suffer.
