DAVID Stubley (Letters, February 27) is spot on with this comments on the state of rugby, and they apply to other administrative bodies.

Quite why Mark Dobson, chief executive of the Scottish Rugby Union, Neil Doncaster, chief executive of the Scottish Professional Football League and Stewart Regan, chief executive of the Scottish Football Association are worth their top-end industrial salaries is a mystery to many.

We have governing bodies fundamentally unchanged since pre-professional days and suits now paid like players, but why? Who takes responsibility for the health of grassroots sport day to day when the suits are hiding behind the reflected glory of the latest (rare) Scottish victory?

And why is the SFA revisiting the matter of booze in stadiums? There are much greater matters to be addressed in the singing.

But the biggest mystery of all is what does sportscotland do? A more unnecessary, self-serving, over- manned and badly-led organisation it would be hard to find.
