North Rd 2,860 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Wish we had drawn Annan in the Ramsden Cup today...............would have been good to have helped this type of Club and their Chairman out, only one with some backbone yesterday. A DEAL to form the Scottish Professional Football League was agreed at midnight last night — 15 HOURS after club chiefs turned up at Hampden.The reason for the delay was caused by the SPL’s refusal to supply SFL clubs with the information they needed to examine the potential liabilities involved in joining with the top division.And despite the SPFL being formed, Annan chairman Henry McClelland slammed the new deal as a ‘shambles and a mess.’Despite the SFL demanding more detail from the SPL over a month ago it was only yesterday — after the SFL board admitted it could not approve the merger with what they had in front of them — they were provided with it.Once due diligence had been done, and lawyers from both sides had had their say, all 30 SFL clubs had to resign and apply to join the new organisation.Late last night the farce took another twist when they immediately held another meeting to vote for the members of the six-man SPFL board.These will consist of three members from the top division — to be known as the Premiership — two from the First Division, and one representative from Leagues One and Two. However, the role of SPFL chief executive remains vacant for now and it will be filled following a selection process.One possible outcome of yesterday’s farce is the new organisation will be looking to make big changes.SFL chief David Longmuir is understood to be leaving with a pay-off.But his opposite number at the SPL, Neil Doncaster, could also face the boot.Doncaster earns £200,000-per-year, but SPL chairman have questioned his botched handling of the reconstruction issue.There is a growing feeling that, since his main role is merely to carry out the wishes of the member clubs, there is no need to pay top dollar for the job, and his wage would be better used on hiring a marketing guru who could bring more money in. Annan chairman McClelland said: “I feel sorry for the fans because this just comes across as an absolute shambles and a mess — and to be blunt, it is.“It should never have got to this state.”Read more: http://www.thescotti...l#ixzz2XW024GrG Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

covenanter 158 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Peter likes Doncaster, he confirmed this when the 12-12-18 proposal hit the buffers, "Neil did everything possible to push this through,no one could have worked harder". Just like Stewart Regan's tenure is assured because he remains Peter's man; then Doncaster is a shoo-in for the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Doncaster will get the job and not one single media outlet will question it. It was never a merger just a shambolic raid on the sfl to take over and ruin whats left Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gas Man 190 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 A board of 6 from the newly formed SPFL will decide who become Chief Ex, 50% which are former SPL board members; I'd hazard a guess that Emptyhead Doncaster will get the nod Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,622 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Would we accept Longmuir on The Rangers Board?No as I've heard more from the Annan chairman than him on reconstruction he seems to be bought off or not good at his job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAvenger 10,494 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Doncaster is an incompetent tosser and is of course Lawwell's puppet....so he will get the job. As for Longmuir, initially I thought he was a man of integrity but he sold out to the cabal, so fuck him !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian 4,281 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Doncaster will have made sure he is alright out of thisWhat concerns me more is that the board is made up of guys from clubs. Surely a massive conflict of interest there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess what mate ,the newly appointed 6man board will make that decision .How very cosy and convenient eh . What the fuck is wrong with this Country .While we are in this abortion of a football set up which has been going downhill rapidly under these decision makers .We now expect the same pricks that helped ruin our game to still be in charge after these 6men do their worst .Is it any wonder we are the laughing stock of world football .
