Former SPL chief exec Roger Mitchell is fond of saying his old job had all the responsibility and none of the power, as ultimate control of the League lies with the clubs. Neil Doncaster has lived through a period of his life he will never forget, but after issuing a comprehensive rebuttal to the ‘dossier’ yesterday, he may reflect that his powerbase has been significantly enhanced by the traumas.
The tone of the SPFL’s response, signed by nine of the 10 directors, is unlike anything I have read before from a comparable body; “baseless, damaging and self-serving attacks”, they did not miss the target and hit the wall.
With no charge outstanding, votes against the League will amount to little more than historical allegiances with the protagonists. They will do well to get 25% support, instead of the 75% required for success.
I commented on Thursday that the phrase “serious breach of fiduciary duties” was likely to feature in news reports soon. Instead, the League opted for “gross breaches of confidentiality” for distributing confidential parts of their Sky TV contract in the dossier appendix.
The board have no choice but to act in order to protect their broadcast contracts from breach. The irony of trying to claim the League is jeopardising a contract by actively jeopardising that same contract is off the scale and indicates the levels at which we are operating at.

Do you drink it or inject it?
————————-
Trump says you inject it.😉😂
It stands to FFin’ reason:
“… surely a lack of hard evidence is exactly Why we need a formal inquest?”
——
“We’re not just looking for the press to make a judgement. We are looking for forensic analysis of the SPFL’s lies, deals etc. In order to gather the hard evidence of wrongdoing! The question was always, is there sufficient evidence to suggest that something is incredibly fishy. The inquest which we are being denied would be what gets to the bottom of that fishness”
——
“The bitterness in the SPFL statement reeks of tarrierness”
——
“The knee-jerk reaction of the cabal was pre-planned and was to be expected”
On Hippo’s pronouncements from his bariatric bed:
” I never expected him to be as bullish and up for a scrap as this, he’s like Dave King on steroids.”
——
“Indeed, the cabal, Doncaster especially, may live to rue the day they thought they could ride roughsod over him.”
——
“I have been back using his petrol station in Hamilton instead of elsewhere now.
Bit crazy paying a bit more for diesel but my thinking is maybe a couple of pence will make its way to [Sevco].”
——
“He is an absolute flamethrower. I love it.”
——
“We are all Douglas Park.”
if they can afford to pay for enquiries into zilch what about all the companies that rangers ripped off before they went down the pan – why doesn’t he offer to pay them ? and why doesn’t the SMSM ask them proper questions on our behalf ? all this copying and pasting isn’t doing there future prospects as real journos any good. wouldn’t it be great if we could get rid of the lot of them – the rangers and the smsm – dreaming:
Sevco Statement : We are willing to pay for a fishing expedition to see what muck we can rake up because our dossier completely failed to provide any actual evidence whatsoever.

………..
Cheers mate…likewise DAVID66 and MELBOURNE MICK earlier Today.
I will try and keep my sense of humour during this self isolation for as long as possible….especially a SOBER sense of humour due to Pubs being shut !
My sense of humour grows arms and legs when ever I am having 10 or 15 pints of Beer…LOL
HH
Forgot about F.B. The comparison is apt in more ways than one since he both sounds like Park and has the same moral compass as the corpulent car dealer.

All this anguish because they cant accept that they are no longer the people – in fact they never were the people, they just cannot accept the new reality of being just a plain ordinary football club that nobody likes.
BBC Scotland embarrassing themselves again,David Currie ,as ever,sounds like he’s won a 6th year debating contest, to try and interview someone.
I regularly eat in Weatherspoons when I’m in Scotland, largely because it’s convenient or there isn’t a suitable alternative. I’ll now be giving it a body swerve.
If only there was a fans’ café beside the Superstore.
Doncaster again not being troubled by an open, off script, BBC interview.
I hear Park did an interview today with one of his employees…
tom english talks absolute pish.
he hasnt a clue
Tom English is an absolute disgrace. Just won’t admit he is wrong. Turned it off, pathetic hun apologist.
Charles ordered to stay at home in Balmoral , Lizzie told to stay alert when she’s walking the corgis in Windsor 😜
BIG GEORGES FAN CLUB – HAIL, HAIL, WEE OSCAR on 9th May.
Hi lads, just watched the show from last night night, very enjoyable,
Thought maybe you would have gave us a rendition of, Johnny I hardly knew ya, 😁
Keep it lit lhads.
Hail hail,
C’mon the hoops,
🍀🍀🍀
wee redheaded laddie

Instead of an enquiry, Park should offer to pay the creditors his old klub shafted.
Tom comes from the school of thought that you can say anything, no matter how erroneous, so long as it’s said with confidence.
For weeks he’s been shown up for talking nonsense but on he goes…
As much I dislike the man wee Chico not agreeing with the hot air balloon that is English. Also pointing out how can it be an independent inquiry if the huns pay for it?
Also switched off because Alexa has threatened to report me for verbal abuse.😉
English wanting to include Kelty and Brora in any protests against Doncaster and any resolutions, even though they don’t have a vote,beyond words.
Pppooofffff !
And as if just done by magic
Another 10 million pounds deficit has been vanished away by the Park fella.
That will the SEVCO mantra of being “debt free “ being plucked out the bowler hat again and fed to the media.
Just before UEFA require the euro licences to be confirmed.
Funny that !
So they have the finance to ride the storm till November no problem with no bank or loan facility or gate income.
Must be another dirty money laundering job like the first Rangers in conjunction with their new DUP partners and the backers of the Sporting Integrity League.
Incidentally any attempt by Budgie and Park to take the governing footballl bodies to task in the courts will be deemed negatively by Uefa and will result in being banned from Europe and a financial embargo.
So yer on yer own the wee eastern star gazer.
Sandman enjoyed your article on the turncoat reminded me of a wee chap who went to Windlaw Ps in Castlemilk with my nephew.
He was a cracking wee fitba player and was destined for greater things.
My young relative came from a religiously polarised background with his dad steeped in the satsuma tradition although he had no interest in that or fitba.His young fella was football daft and Asked his uncle T to take him to Paradise like his wee pals uncle Benny did.
I spoke to his auld fella who said it was up to him and immediately he attended Paradise with my self often meeting his wee school chum at that wee corner of the Celtic end terracing at the bottom not far from the wee old wumin who held up the Celtic bears and knitted Jimmy Johnstone’s.
The pals witnessed a right few games over the years making it a point of seeing each other before the final whistle celebrating great wins against the Huns and alike.
The wee boy from Castlemilk did make a career out of the game but surprisingly ended up in the south side much to my dismay at the time.
Remember him through the years being quizzed on his career and life as a kid growing up were he flatly denied any affinity to the Hoops.
I laugh and still do at his denial and rewriting of history.
I suppose he ended up at his right destination in football given their years of sporting integrity.Pity though because he was a player even when I watched him play for his primary school that was more suited to the teams colours he wore on a Saturday at Celtic Park.
The chap in question
“ Charlie Miller “
So just remember “ the truth will always out ye “ Hail Hail ;)
While he conceded Sevco would lose the resolution on Tuesday, English chickened out of answering the question about how much support they needed to save some face.
He’ll no doubt claim on Tuesday evening that the number of clubs that supported the doomed resolution was a significant achievement for Sevco.
English managed to turn 2 non-SPFL clubs into SPFL clubs and give them voting rights. Absolute buffoon.
A third Brighton player tests positive …
Listening in to BBC in delay, stunned at English. A rambling mess.
Folks, about the Pubs, I was being flippant, hence the :))))))))))) por cierto!
Pedro living in wee Chics head rent free.
Talking of buffoons, the new mantra:
The longstanding official guidance to “stay at home, save lives, protect the NHS” has been amended to “stay alert, control the virus, save lives”.
Harry Potter author JK Rowling wrote on Twitter: “Is coronavirus sneaking around in a fake moustache and glasses? If we drop our guard, will it slip us a Micky Finn? What the hell is ‘stay alert’ supposed to mean?”
Remember , your country needs lerts
Wee Nicola says we won’t be using the new jargon.😉

The lert said about that the better. It’s a lerty conspiracy.
The biggest BS in all of this are the claims about bullying. To be very frank, if Lawwell came out and said he’d been bullied, I’d want him removed immediately from his position as our CEO.
These are professional, experienced business people, tasked with protecting their Club’s interests. The idea of them being bullied like a child in the school playground is nonsense on stilts.
Only a fool like Tom English would entertain such claims.
