When Neil Doncaster and his SPFL buddies put together the Q and A dummies guide to cheating he clearly didn’t bank on internet bampots taking his whitewash apart.
As time passes the former Norwich supremo seems to get bolder and bolder as he attempts to rewrite history for the benefit of the hard of thinking.
Jim Duffy and Radio Clyde may be impressed by the legal references and focus on tax but neither apply in the decade of cheating.
The Nimmo Smith enquiry has no basis in law. It carries all the legal clout of a Neighbourhood Watch committee report on wheelie bin policy.
Tax isn’t the main issue, fielding ineligible players carries punishments as Dundee United and Dunfermline have recently discovered.
A recent layer of information has been added about the surprise element of Rangers’ downfall.
With Campbell Ogilvie on board various SFA committees and becoming president of the SFA the architect of the tax scam was in house.
And if Neil Doncaster thinks the smart play is to let others take the flak, McKenzie reported back to him in Oct 2011 on the plan for RFC.

If Ralph Topping or Rod McKenzie are saying no one at the SPL were warned of Rangers’ insolvency / liquidation, they are mistaken / lying.

In the first week of October 2011, SPL’s McKenzie was discussing the planning for Rangers’ insolvency and liquidation. “Who knew?” indeed.

Doncaster also knew in the first week of October 2011 there was a plan for a liquidation and “recovery” of Rangers.

Early October 2011 Rod McKenzie met Whyte’s lawyer, Gary Withey, to plan for insolvency and liquidation. McKenzie informed Neil Doncaster.

Did no one at the SFA or Hampden rub their eyes at the contracts registered for Tore Andre Flo and Ronald de Boer while Celtic were paying twice as much in wages for Neil Lennon and Chris Sutton?
Were no questions asked when Lorenzo Amoruso, Neil McCann and Barry Ferguson took pay cuts to stay on at Ibrox with new contracts?
Doncaster may think that he can brazen it out with the silent backing of the clubs but the threat of a Judicial Review will open up every email and contract including the Five Way Agreement of 2012 and ensure that the grinning face of the SPFL never gets near another job in sports governance.
Ladbrokes, Betfred, Mitre and Irn-Bru are the main sponsors of the SPFL.
