As a new season of SPFL/WWF prepares to kick off with 11 of the 12 SPFL Premiership clubs involved in the sponsorship of the competition there is a trail of paperwork from 2012 showing the extent that Neil Doncaster rewrote the rules to keep alive his O** F*** cash cow. 

With the silent approval of Peter Lawwell and the Celtic board no stone was left unturned in an effort to create a Tribute Act to replace Rangers after Her Majesty rejected the CVA put to 276 creditors. 

Rather than head back down south to be reunited with his wife and family Doncaster burnt the midnight oil to create a place for a new club, going to the extent of paying Sky Sports to broadcast Scottish Football League matches from the Third Division. 

Not a single club in the SPL raised an objection at the diversion of funds. 

The SFL clubs did put a significant stick into the spokes of Doncaster’s master plan when they rejected the proposal to put the Tribute Act into The Championship. Division Three was a sore one for the former Norwich supremo to accept. 

There was no UEFA place for the new club, they entered the League Cup and Scottish Cup in the first round, Ally McCoist’s hopes of Challenge Cup glory were ended by Queen of the South in a penalty shoot out. 

Now that the Tribute Act is in the top flight they know that they can pick and choose the rules that they comply with. 

Referees can be banished for months as a warning to others, sponsorship deals ignored except for prize money, broadcasters are told which employees are allowed to attend events. 

And still Doncaster survives as CEO, it is almost as if he has incriminating evidence on some of his colleagues from 2012, of their supportive role in private contrasting with their public comments.

    So what’s the PROBLEM here the game is RIGGED and for the BENEFIT of one klub sevco.
    There is no new news here about Doncaster that we don’t already know.
    As for the cinch deal what a massive kick in the stones that will be should cheat their way to the title with no cinch ribbons on the trophy but a Parks of Hamilton logo.

    So, for their first game, the team name on the teamsheet v. Brechin,

    was “Sevco” ?

    • KC67 says:

      Lawwell and the Celtic boards involvement in this should never be forgotten, in their pursuit of the blue pound.
