Lack of leadership undermines SPFL – Peterhead boss McInally

Jim McInally knows no decision taken about how to end the season will be perfect – but the Peterhead boss insists a call needs to be made.

The board of the SPFL met yesterday and conference calls with the 42 member clubs set to take place today. The prospect of this season being completed is becoming more and more unlikely due to the coronavirus shutdown.

That increases the possibility of the current positions being declared final which has angered clubs such as Rangers and Hearts.

Scotland’s longest-serving manager McInally said: “It needs leadership and there needs to be a realisation of the situation we are in and trying to ensure Scottish football survives this. There is a lot of squabbling about how individual clubs will be effected.

“If you go back to when Ernie Walker and Jim Farry were in charge of the SFA they weren’t scared to upset Celtic and Rangers.

“If either of them were still around I’m sure they would have put their head above the parapet and made a decision.

“We’re in a situation now where we don’t have leaders – we’ve got committees within committees and working groups.

“And these committees and working groups are populated by people with self-interest. If there are lessons to be learned from this it should be that there (needs to be) someone put in place at the SFA and SPFL that is a leader.

“At the SFA we’ve got Ian Maxwell who is a voice for the board and the committees below that, it seems to be that there is nobody involved that can decide impartially what is best for Scottish football and what is going to happen.”
