haufdaft Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 No mention of Murdoch MacLennan who despite being in the job for years had never given one interview to the press.Even through this current anarchy, he's only been interviewed by himself.What's he scared of? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL currently has a title sponsor, the Ladbrokes deal doesn't run out until the summer. Unless you have inside knowledge that nobody else on this forum does, we have no idea whether or not any deals for a new title sponsor have been discussed, sealed or proposed, and anything that wasn't tied up pre-coronavirus is obviously going to be put on hold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ I never thought I'd ever see so many folk trying to make excuses for this useless cant. Come on if they'd signed a big new deal they'd be crowing about it long before now. These things should be arranged well in advance so that you aren't left in the lurch. I'll come back on and apologise profusely if a deal has been done but I very much doubt it or we'd have heard something and hes had 9 months so far.

The Tunnocks deal was signed and sealed well in advance but wasn't announced until the day of the 1st Round draw because that was the way they wanted it to be publicised. I agree that there probably isn't anything in place, but we can't be absolutely sure of that, and the time to get worked up about it is when the season kicks off without a sponsor, not three months before the start of the season when the existing deal hasn't even run out.

If theres a league sponsor deal in place someone better tell them that doncaster was going to give their deal to sky for feck all then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BawWatchin Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 He's manage to simultaneously outrage The Rangers, Hearts and Falkirk in one fell swoop. I'll certainly be donating to the community Doncaster statue fund. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde01 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The guy shows absolutely no leadership whatsoever, other countries governing bodies have just decided what’s happening and that’s it. Here it’s put to a vote to deflect blame. Also, he’s on something like 330k a year plus a 90k bonus. How can the spfl pay him that sort of money but can’t give clubs money to ensure existence. It stinks. Nail on the head here.Get him punted and get that £330K plus cash funnelled to clubs struggling to survive this crisis.If the best interests of the clubs were really of so much concern to him he would have taken a hefty pay cut already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8MileBU Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Neil Doncaster is a useless, incompetent scrotum and based on just his face, his hard drive should be seized just to be sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 If theres a league sponsor deal in place someone better tell them that doncaster was going to give their deal to sky for feck all then.If that's true then surely he does have a sponsor lined up after all? And it wouldn't be for nothing, it would be in lieu of money otherwise owed to them as a result of matches being cancelled for reasons outwith the SPFL's control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going to give them it for a fraction of the value ffs.Crazy stuff. Honestly clubs in scotland are struggling for cash but let's give the title sponsorship to sky for peanuts. And your happy with that. Edited May 11, 2020 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a history of making a complete mess of things. I just cant believe that for 350k a year we couldnt get someone a whole lot better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
