Dons_1988 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The only losers in this are the rest of the league. Yes, we’ve managed to retain the agreed sponsorship from cinch but as has been alluded the existing deal is a bit shit. Cinch have had more exposure but this certainly won’t be encouraging them to increase the deal or even renew. Any potential sponsor either won’t be arsed dealing with a league that has a member actively out to sabotage its chief exec, or worse still they might see sponsoring Celtic or rangers directly as it would be easier. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Create the image that Doncaster is an active obstacle to investment to encourage the rest to oust him. The result may be a good thing but it’s a dangerous precedent in terms of the method. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doncaster paid an agency £500k to get the "shit" deal. Despite his massive wages, he is an obstacle to proper investment and thought that he could just ignore the SPFLs rules. It could have been worked out fairly amicably but Neil knew best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won’t have any argument from me that Doncaster is poor at his job. That doesn’t make rangers come out of this looking good or make actively sabotaging him to get him out the right thing to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers informed him that they had a serious contractual issue with the deal that he paid £500k for and it would need to be worked out. Neil arrogantly went ahead with it anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wont advertise, they shouldnt get the prize money cinch provides. I don't know, the guys company has been on the back pages periodically for a year now. Free advertising with added bonus of looking properly staunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the lack of an increase in the value of the deal- essentially a drop given the level of inflation at the moment - is because Rangers are getting a smaller cut? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doncaster should have been shown the door a long time ago, he has been extremely poor at his job but he hasn't been helped by 1 club undermining him publicly at every opportunity. The whole Parks' wanting an apology can get in the sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole Parks' wanting an apology can get in the sea. Rangers had to prove the existence of the contract, to satisfy the court of PoH’s standing as an associated member to the SPFL’s rules. That decision was passed in October last year. Did it take Doncaster 8 months to read and understand it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Got a feeling that when SPFL release their narrative, it'll be Rangers who look like absolute fannies. It's always the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 FC Edinburgh [emoji23]I'm a big fan of the pyramid in principle, but some of the growing pains are, erm, painful. Hopefully we're just in for a turbulent couple of decades before a new equilibrium is found. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
