JohnHardie 1,405 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 SPL rebel Stewart Gilmour has called on chief executive Neil Doncaster to consider his position after failing to deliver a new league set-up.The St Mirren chairman claims Doncaster has NO power and can’t act in the best interests of all 12 clubs.Gilmour denied calling a vote of no confidence in Doncaster — but says if a single governing body is set up, the job of bossing it “should be advertised”.Speaking 48 hours after he and Ross County owner Roy MacGregor threw the top flight into chaos by scuppering plans for a 12-12-18 system, Gilmour said: “Neil Doncaster needs to have a look at himself.“If I was him, I would consider my position.“I have sympathy with him, because he has a difficult job. I wouldn’t want it, despite the £200,000-a-year salary.“In his shoes, I’d be asking myself ‘Do I want to work as chief executive of an organisation over which I have no power?’.“He has no vote when it comes down to it. Would I work as a chief executive when the clubs are making all the decisions? No.“Is that the role of a chief executive? No.“It’s difficult even for him to act in the best interests of all the clubs, because the turnover of a Celtic compared to a St Mirren is night and day and therefore our interests are different.”Asked to comment on reports he had tried to force a vote of confidence in the former Norwich City chief, Gilmour said: “No, not in a meeting.”Pressed on where he might have made the comments, he would only add: “I’m sure lots of people have spoken about the chief executive, but these aren’t things to go public about.”Gilmour then renewed his demand for a single body to unite all 42 league clubs.Asked if he would have Doncaster as its main man, he said: “I hope we would invite applications in the normal manner.“All the leaders — Neil, Stewart Regan and David Longmuir — went through hell last summer.“But if Monday’s decision gives us one thing we didn’t have before, it’s perhaps the time we need to sort things out.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

californiadreamin52 339 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Confirms what we already knew Doncaster is not his own man merely a facilitator, other than that brings nothing to the job.Until it is a level playing field Rangers should stay out it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
five stars 1,621 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 With his comment about the turnover of selic compared to other clubs, he is saying that they are in control and Doncaster does what they tell him to do. This is not news to most Rangers supporters but its the first time anyone from another club has said it. One club out of twelve pulling the strings, Sporting Integrity anyone?

The Gas Man 190 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 First of many calls for him to leave hopefully. He's done we'll holding on to his job for so long as it is, he has been a disaster Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedart1952 1,349 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 We know Doncaster does not make decisions they're made by liewell and he will be breaking his neck to bend the rules to get what he wants. The debate for league reconstruction is far from over and neither is the blackmail and bullying as liewell tries to get what he wants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Why don't they jst give it to big tam/tommy as he seems to be involved in everything and the £200k he could donate to sciaf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I might be wrong here but isn't it the SPL Clubs that have to pay him his £200k/year wages? Doncaster is just a mouthpiece for the SPL Clubs and in effect has no power of his own. As long as he's taking money out of SPL pockets I'm happy for him to keep the job.

I call them "Freedom Fighters!" No need to call them anything. It's supposed to be a democracy where you are entitled to vote in your own best interests?St Mirren and Ross County both voted for what was best for them and now they are rebels?This is the media portraying them as such. Personally, I have never had an issue with any club voting on what is in their own best interests even if it meant voting against us. The SFL3 clubs would love t keep us with them another season so they would vote for us to remain behind - fair enough, that's in their interests. The SFL2 clubs want us there, the SFL1 clubs want our money but can't get it yet and the SPL clubs (seems like 10 of them at least) want our money and us dead.To now be a rebel for wanting what's best for your own fan base/club is a joke.Isn't the term FENIAN based on a rebellious act?

Copland bear 7,966 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 He will have to resign as can the spl afford to let him go. £200,000 a year is a lot of contract to buy out. Could cost them £500,000 just to sack the donkey as he will not resign unless he gets a pay, Let's hope he has a Jim McLean contract and cost the spl as much as possible and let's finish off the job by snubbing an spl2 and demand the tv deal is ripped up and demand the same share as Celtic. Anything less then fight it. Sky wants us the spl needs us so let's demand the tv deal is ripped up as we were forced to agree to it. If they want to stop our game going down the tubes lets start with Liewell and Thompson on the tv apologising to us followed by Petrie and Milne, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimoo 1,474 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Scottish Football is a gravy train with them all holding onto positions for as long possible to cash in, nobody goes anywhere until the outcry leaves them with no option, Doncaster and Regan will be there for a while to yet.

trublusince1982 768 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The best part is the bit about Doncaster not quantifying the TV deal leaving him to believe their is no interest from sky. Think its been missed out the op. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelee66 233 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 AS i said in some other thread yesterday, The SPL cant afford to buy Doncasters silence.If they punt him out of his job, he will be sitting on a story worth a fortune from the press.It would cost them an equal amount to keep his mouth shut.
