I can't really see how Rangers are in any way in the wrong here. I agree it's not a good look but it's yet another example of Doncaster being absolutely terrible at his job. I don;t disagree with Doncaster but was there really any need for Rangers to make such a song and dance about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question, what song and dance did they make other than not putting up the Cinch sineage (which I wouldn’t class as a song and dance)?

Debian Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Parks of Hamilton with the fucking boom shot to Doncaster. His position is surely untenable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think the Cinch deal is worth less than they pay for an advert on Spurs shirt sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching a TV show about the Netherlands the other night and I'm sure it said no one is allowed to earn more than the prime minister Might just be public sector. However that should be the ceiling Doncaster must be one of Scotland's highest paid people.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Rangers not done what they did, they would have breached their contract with Parks. The reason the league has this rule is for this exact reason - to avoid clubs breaching existing sponsorship deals. Suspect the SPFL will be on the hook for a rather large amount of legal fees too- considering they seem to have lost at every stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they had no obligation to do so. That was the last I read of yet another off field saga involving the SPFL and Doncaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Either Doncaster has dirt on those that employ him or it suits those people to keep him in position. There’s been so many fuckups and scandals during his tenure that no other explanation for him still being in post makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Rangers are 100% in the right here and Doncaster in the wrong.

As I said I am willing to bet each club has multiple sponsorship deals with competing companies. I stand by what I said, no party comes out of this looking good. I am no fan of Doncaster but he does get voted in by the clubs and no matter what the guy does, there is no doubt he will upset at least one club, more than likely an OF club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I am pleased to see them back and now maybe we can move forward. I would have liked some clarification of the instances when they failed to meet there editorial standards though.

aaid Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Probably fair to say that the BBC have been a lot more damaged by this dispute than Rangers have. Their coverage of the Europa League final build up really showed up how it’s impossible to put together proper coverage when you’re denied access or not prepared to talk to a club.

KirkieRobRoy Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Kenny Mcintyre sounds like someone presenting an Old Firm Stuff programme on Clyde 1 and perhaps believes he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
