FUNDRAISING QUIZ NIGHT

 

SPORT OR MONEY?

AS part of our good goveranance theme, here are two very relevant quotes (shown below) on the subject.

Michel Platini, election programme, The Future of UEFA

“In an ideal world football clubs would be legally structured and governed in ways that prioritise sporting objectives above financial [...]

In what seems, now, the dim and distant [...]

THE DANGERS OF BEING NICE

IN the second article by Dr John Beech, he focuses on the situation at Livingston where the Livi Lions Trust have entered into an agreement with the new owners of the West Lothian club to fund merchandise.
Interesting.
A ‘win-win’ at Livi? Well perhaps
