craigkillie Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 It's obviously a loss for the SPFL, but it doesn't seem to have had any material impact on them and you'd imagine the rule will be updated by the time the next sponsorship deal comes around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Correct me if I'm wrong: is this the first time the new club has won any of the many court cases in which they've been involved? If so, congratulations are in order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grown ups have done the grown up thing and conceded some ground to minimise the disruption caused by a ten year-old having a tantrum. Hopefully the entitled little shit doesn't take it as an invitation to throw it's toys whenever it doesn't like something, but i'm not optimistic. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they already are adept at toy throwing. They don't need an invitation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 So hopes the new club gets bugger all money from this deal with cinch, last year or in the future, directly or indirectly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the Cinch money goes in the main pot and gets split depending on your league placing. Doncaster fucked up if spent any money challenging Rangers in court.

Kicking off another legal battle about the SPFL not fulfilling its contractual obligations? At that point you’d be wondering if they were secretly a make work scheme for the Scottish legal profession. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10menwent2mow Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I genuinely don't understand why this was an issue. The league was sponsored by Ladbrokes, the Scottish Cup by William Hill and the league cup by Betfred all at a time when both Celtic and Rangers were sponsored by rival betting companies. The Dons have a vehicle partner in Morrison Motors of Turra, yet weren't jumping up and down about Cinch being title sponsor. Utter petulance and nonsense from Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 It’s definitely an embarrassment for the SPFL and a “win” for rangers here, but it certainly feels more like this was all about sticking it to the SPFL rather than some genuine commercial concern. In the long run this is bad for the game. It hardly makes the league attractive to sponsors when stuff like this goes on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, only a meaningless and expendable operating company entirely divorced from Rangers*, the football club, was right all along. That's the problem when you constantly twist reality to suit your agenda. Edited June 16, 2022 by Squonk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the entitled little shit doesn't take it as an invitation to throw it's toys whenever it doesn't like something, but i'm not optimistic. This has already been to court several times, the SPFL lost each time it did. First, by trying to claim that Parks weren't a related party, second, by trying to send the matter to the SFA for arbitration rather than settle it through the courts. If the SPFL had any chance of winning this case, they wouldn't have been forced into a humiliating climb-down and relying on the good grace of cinch not to deduct more money from the already paltry deal that they're giving us. The wildest thing about this is that Rule 17 is very straightforward and only a complete fucking idiot could fail to understand it. For supporters on here not to understand how badly the SPFL fucked this is one thing. For Doncaster and McLennan to not understand their own rule book is quite another. The most embarrassing thing about this for the SPFL is probably that they got outsmarted by Stewart Robertson and James Bisgrove, who are hardly shining examples of competent executives themselves. The league leadership is filled with incompetent losers, and it's crazy that they retain support among certain influential media figures (both traditional and supporter-led media). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
