Rangers to take SPFL to court over Cinch dispute.

[BlueKnight87 17,338]

It should be the end of doncaster this. An absolute clown running our game who thought he could force us to accept this deal. 

No doubt but he'll survive yet again.

He has made himself too expensive to sack. 2 years severance pay is what he awarded himself and that's the thick end of a million pounds. A Rangers hating charlatan.

800k to let him go. Be absolutely worth every penny. 

Unfortunately too many clubs in this country hate us so much they'll back him no matter what.

We need to get rid of Doncaster and MacLennan if we are to get any win at all.

The statement read: The Scottish Professional Football League, Rangers, and Park’s of Hamilton have confirmed that the long-running dispute between them in relation to the SPFL’s title sponsorship contract with cinch has been brought to an end.

The SPFL has accepted that Rangers had a pre-existing contract with Park’s at the point that the SPFL entered into its title sponsorship contract with cinch in June 2021. All three parties have now agreed to withdraw the resulting Scottish FA arbitration, with the SPFL making a contribution to the costs of Rangers and Park’s. These sums will be donated to charity.

The SPFL regrets any damage to the reputation of Rangers and Park’s as a result of the dispute.

SPFL Chairman, Murdoch MacLennan, said: “We are delighted to have finally drawn a line under this dispute following discussions between ourselves and Rangers, and we are keen to do all we can to learn from this protracted disagreement.

“I am particularly grateful for the constructive approach shown by all parties in helping resolve this long-running situation and am very happy to apologise if there has been any damage to the reputation of Rangers FC or Park’s of Hamilton.

“Going forward, we have also agreed to commission an independent review of governance to help ensure the SPFL can avoid any such dispute in the future. This review will commence in October 2023.

“I am pleased we have put this matter to bed at last and am now looking forward to working constructively with Rangers and our 41 other clubs at what is a hugely exciting time for Scottish football as a whole.”

A spokesperson for Rangers commented: “Rangers acknowledges the apology from the SPFL and is pleased that this long running dispute has been brought to a conclusion. In welcoming the independent review of SPFL governance, the Club wishes to give thanks for the efforts and patience of those who have driven this to a satisfactory outcome.”

Questions will now however be asked of SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster and the way that the agreement with cinch was pushed through in the first place, with Rangers informing Doncaster ahead of the conclusion of the deal that they would not be able to comply with the terms of the contract.

Having forced the deal through, the admission from Doncaster that he was wrong to do so will be a humiliating one for the 54-year-old, who had cast doubt about Rangers’ claims of a pre-existing agreement with Park’s before ultimately being forced to climb down.

Doncaster himself stopped short of apologising to Rangers, expressing only his regret at any damage to their reputation, while it was SPFL chairman Murdoch McLennan who offered a full apology.

The victory will however be seen as a vindication of outgoing managing director Stewart Robertson’s position, who long maintained that Rangers were bound by the terms of their agreement with Park’s, and who has publicly expressed his concern around the corporate governance of the SPFL.

fenian lawyer and thick clown will be fuckin beelin.
will give doncaster 2 fuckin minutes and he will be awarding himself a massive wage increase from the 41 club gravy train,known as the speefuckinl.
pair of horrible bastards need chased.

Parks was right to fight this one.

You'd think the other clubs and their supporters would look at this situation and that the bell would finally ring for Doncaster.

Too busy hating us though

Cunts.

Wonder what they’ll try next 

[SkylineBlue 23,702]

This won't be the end of Doncaster. Calamities and fuck ups are par for the course with him. People are just used to it and expect it now. This won't change anything.

Unfortunately very true. 

You would think the other clubs would be furious that doncaster pushed this deal through when he knew full well we couldn't take part. 

Instead with so many clubs hating us they'll do the usual and turn a blind eye to this complete incompetent. 

[B1872 20,856]

Notice the specky mess said he’s not apologising. If I was half as bad at my job as he is then I’d be unemployed fs. The only reason he’s there is because it’s us that has the issue with him. If it was another club in the league then they’d be supported by the other clubs for his removal.

[kelvd1873 7,252]

It’s been a good week for the board regarding litigation etc. Including the Australian comp I would imagine it has prevented us handing out a few million.

Most of the parachial idiots in this country think they are some sort of moral compass crusaders and ‘speaking truth to power’, same as the SNP. I’m sure they feel they have a duty to take us on, because of that deep seated hatred. Also same as the them most of the time they turn out to be wrong and look foolish. In any properly run business there is no way someone like Doncaster would survive the constant stream of disasters.

Technically wasn't this Park n co rather than the club? If we left this to Blair this would've been 100% fucked.

Spot on. 

Any other league he would have been sacked a long time ago. 

Unfortunately he's got too many allies like lawwell keeping him in place. 

[Sunglasses Ron 2,506]

Failure after failure but in Dungcaster they trust cos he doesn’t like the Rangers. What a a pathetic state of affairs, blinded by their own hatred.

[Negri's lovechild 14,249]

Taking out of the equation any bias Doncaster may or may not have against us, his incompetence is holding Scottish football back in so many ways. 

They seem to be quite happy with the status quo and clubs not going under rather than actually growing the game properly from grass roots, improving standards across the board and generally fighting for the benefit of all clubs in Scotland. 

I think this is the negative side of heavy club involvement in the running of leagues and associations, it turns into self preservation and fulfilment rather than what's genuineky good for the game.

Notice the wording of the apology,  along the  lines of " we apologise IF this has caused" and not "we apologise for any".

Right up there with ‘I apologise if this has caused YOU offence’ turns it into being the recipient of the apology as having the problem
