Neil Doncaster SPL newsThe extent of Neil Doncaster’s desperation to save newclub Rangers has been revealed in a document sent to all Scottish Football League clubs.

With SPL clubs forced into voting no to a share transfer due to supporter pressure Doncaster is hoping to parachute Charlie Green’s newclub into the top tier of the First Division.

In order to win over SFL clubs to turn the First Division into a promotion procession Doncaster has offered a £1m television sweetener and a promise for reconstruction creating play-offs and a wider distribution of commercial income.

The bullet-points of the document have been published by STV and look certain to galvanise opposition to the deal by supporters throughout the SFL.

Doncaster’s position looks untenable with the document clearly his design with certain elements of it indicating that it doesn’t have SFA approval.

The document highlights five scenarios to deal with the liquidation of Rangers ranging from an SPL place for newclub through to complete expulsion- Doncaster concludes that neither option is practical.

To find a middle ground the failed former Norwich chief executive suggests that a First Division place is created for Green’s club or SPL 2 is formed with Rangers invited straight in- that option doesn’t have SFA backing.

The benefits of a First Division place for newco apparently include:

Immediate cash benefit for all 30 clubs!

Gate receipt uplift in Division 1

Potential hospitality & advertising values increase

Sponsors receive added value through additional exposure

Scottish Government remain committed to our community strategy

SFL has more influence at the top table

Play-Offs restore the sporting meritocracy and deliver additional value.

The complete disregard for sport and supporters is obvious throughout the document showing Doncaster’s contempt for the game.

Each day that he remains in position is a day closer to the curtain coming down on Scottish football.

    Why does this not surprise me?

    Why does he still have a job?

    Why does Ogilvie still have a job?

    Why is the corruption in the game which brought rangers down, not being addressed, and instead, being supported?

    What a horrible corrupt country!

  • SJY says:

    Shameless

    There is probably even less of a case for burrowing them into SFL1 than the SPL

  • paranoidandroid says:

    I think Mr Doncaster would be happier back in Norwich. I doubt if they’d want him back mind.

  • MaxX says:

    I’ve got a visions of a wee skinny boy sitting on his arse with a raw jaw and a big fat bully walking away with a ball confidently tucked under his arm.

  • KevinBarry says:

    I actually felt sick with anger when I read this on the stv website. They are so corrupt it’s unreal. Just can not believe how obvious it is that it’s all been done to benefit sevco. They’ve also threatened the sfl clubs so that they need to accept it. Celtic need to comment now as we stand to lose a fortune.

  • dombhoy67 says:

    The emphasis of the campaign to say no to a New-co should also now include a call for the immediate resignation of Neil Doncaster from the Scottish Premier League.

    This ‘man’ has absolutely no integrity or principles with which to lead Scotland’s Premier League. He is singularly obsessed with trying to trash the rule book in order to sneak Sevco 88 f.c into the First Division. The wishes of the vast majority of the Scottish supporters are meaningless – worse they are an obstacle to his devious and corrupt plans.

    He must be forced to resign as soon as possible for the game to progress with sporting integrity as the only goal. FIFA also need to be informed about the absolute corruption that is taking place within our game as a matter of urgency.

  • Joe McHugh says:

    Doncaster isn’t the brightest.

    Most semi intelligent folk weighing up the hostility aimed at Charlie Green and the obstacles he faces would decide to cut n run rather than flog the dead horse when all the signs tell you it’s at deaths door

  • lennieslions says:

    Come on Bhoys@Ghirls.Do you think for one minute that Mr PL,DD,and the CELTIC board dont have every angle covered.These cretins,bigots@dreamers are in for one big wake up call.

    In my honest opinion, so come on chill,open up the wine,put your feet up and enjoy the best show in town@i aint talking about the game on tonight.More jelly@ ice cream anyone.HH
    IN THE BOARD WE TRUST.

    • MaxX says:

      It’s the one constant I have that keeps me going throughout all the lies, cheating and stealing, that I know in my heart of hearts that Celtic will have some of the best lawyers in Europe all over this like a rash, lennieslions, all holding fire until they can see the whites of their lying cheating eyes!
      As Nepolian is credited as saying, ‘never interupt your enemy while he’s making a mistake’, or words to that effect.

      • Thai Tim says:

        So true! What I find disgusting is the rhetoric from those who should know better that “rangers” will be “relegated” into the first division.

        They can’t seem to get it into their thick skulls that if a business is liquidated because they failed to pay their bills, then legally that business can no longer exist.

        If the SFA/SPL/SFL wish to continue to recognize a new business as if it were the old business then they are getting themselves into very murky water legal-wise. If the new business is considered to be the old rangers in disguise, then that so-called new business will be liable for millions of pounds of unpaid debt.

        By not recognising this obvious fact, the SFA/SPL/SFL administrators are making themselves look like complete twats.

        I suggest they go seek a lawyer versed in the legalities of business liquidation. They would easily find out that what they propose is ILLEGAL!

    Hope you are right Lennyslions. The wine is a goer right enough!

  • Celtic Daft says:

    I think Scottish fitbas f***ed. Rangers deserve to go into Division 3. But as we are unique in Europe, a 2 team league.

    Rangers have f***ed it up for us an aw. We cannae let them back in. Our league’s gonnae be a joke withoot the buns an aw, when you look at it.

    And i’m no saying maybe just let them in tae keep league alive, naw they should drop to Div 3 but everything’s messed up.

    Who’d really want tae sign for us in this current SPL? Even Newcastles 4th choice keeper disnae want tae play for us.

    Seriously we’re in a mess being stuck in this sh*t league. That’s the sickener, we paid our taxes & did everything by the book & Rangers have dragged us doon wi aw SPL clubs intae a black-hole.

    Won’t be long before Celtic players want oot this league, don’t be naive here. just saying.

    From ‘do the bouncy “we don’t do walking away”.
    —————————–

    A fall from grace, a down grading, call it what you want, but i like to see it as a The Rangers going home to a place that is only spoken about by the old timers… A place that is only read about in history books.

    We’re headed for an honest living, so if the SPL want to continue living the lie, then all the power to them.. but i personally smile at the thought of our team walking onto the pitches of the 3rd division where the mud soaks your ankles, the punters in the stand are the salt of the earth and our very bones are prey to the elements… no flashy hair cuts, no flashy boots, and no contraversial t-shirts under your jersey for when you score, but the breath of local punters down your neck as our players stand on the touchline to take a throw in. I laugh at the thought of our younger lads who have shown wisdom before their time, standing up against an old rock hard Div 3 centre half who he swears can smell alcohol on his breath ( mentioning no names )

    We’re going old school where the glitter will surely be shaken from us!

    The Rangers, love em or hate em, have done their bit for Scotland and Scottish football…. the SPL and it’s cronies want to take the high horse ? then trott on gentlemen, we’ll see you at the cross roads.

    It’s division 3 for this bear’.

    ——————————-

    Come-on!
    Who doesn’t get a wee warm feeling inside reading that?

    • paranoidandroid says:

      Is he for real or is he the football manager from the Fast Show?
      ” Ah! The local park, jersies for goalposts….etc, etc”.

      • MaxX says:

        I thought the ‘A place only read about in history books’ was hilarious!!

        They have no grasp of the concept of irony.

  • Colin M says:

    Please UEFA – step in NOW – this is absolutely shambolic. You speak of sporting integrity – please please please intervene and stop this madness.

  • How can a club that’s “Liquidated” be “Relegated” to Div.1? Isn’t it a case of them being “Promoted”?

    It’s about time everyone started a campain to sack the SPL board in a vote of no confidence. I don’t see any voting going on with all these changes being put forward.

    All these millions in the hands of 3 idiots.

    SPL – Scotlands 2nd SHAME.

    • MaxX says:

      This is not about a team being relegated anywhere!
      This is about a NEW business waltzing into Scottish foootball as though they owned it!

      And f*** every football team in Scotland who try THROUGH LEGAL MEANS to achieve any progress.

      It’s gone beyond a football embarrassment, given the faces who have given Benifit Scroungers fc their support, this is a terrible shame and stain on Scottish scociety as a whole!

  • Wb says:

    Old “scum” , what punishment ? £160k fine, NOT paid, 10 point deduction, Celtic were fined £140k over 15yrs ago for an “illegal” approach to Tommy Burns, and Celtic were already going to win the league, despite the deduction.
    New “scum” ?? If they want to be the old scum, put them into the SPL when they pay the £135m debt , if they’re new scum, the division 3, nothing else!!!
    Can’t wait for the latest incarnation of evil, to liquidate, with the loyalists at civil war, it’s the next step!!
