The only reason Doncaster doesn't see div 3 as "viable" is because he's trying to cover his own arse for signing contracts with rangers in the SPL for season 13/14 .

It is perfectly viable and he will have to face the consequences for his stupidity.

I still don't get why Doncaster wants the SPL clubs not to vote if they don't know which way the SFL clubs will vote?

Golf and English fitba.

They may change it and hold people to terms and conditions if there is a mass-return but in the past AFC have given refunds on season tickets as long as it was before the start of the season

Bbc reporting there will be no vote today. So after 2 weeks of thinking about it and enough clubs making their mind up to vote No they now want to postpone it.

Couldn't make it up. SPL starts 4 weeks on Saturday and I have a feeling now Rangers wol be in it, just as Dongcaster has always wanted.

Says the man trying to get a contract this summer, of course he wants clubs to be richer rather than fairer.

Can't believe there's talk of putting tomorrows vote off. It's been over 2 weeks since they announced it which has been at least 1 week too long.

Christ. Really shouldn't have put on this Radio Scotland "special" with Traynor on it. Blames the SPL clubs for "dumping this on the SFL" when infact the SPL haven't actually voted yet, and even when they do they aren't doing anything else than denying them entry into the SPL. The only people to put this to the SFL are Regan and Doncaster.

He then goes on to defend Doncaster. 

Did the SFA/SFL div 1 proposal even consider the possibility that Sevco might not get promoted at the first attempt? Or are they confident enough that they could engineer that promotion if they were struggling? Seeing the desperation that the SFA has for there to be a successful Rangers surely brings into question the integrity of referees.

If they were struggling in any way the governing bodies in this country have shown they will stop at nothing to try and get them back to their "rightful place" at the top of the SPL. The Raith Rovers chairman seems to be the only one who has realised this probability.

Just as I thought it was looking like I would renew. As previously mentioned the restructuring looks good (amazing how quickly they can implement these things if RFC are in jeopardy) apart from the shite about Rangers in Div 1.

More bollocks on STV about the SPL "threatening to create an SPL2 if these plans are rejected by the SFL". They really don't understand that the SPL is the 12(11) clubs. If the clubs don't want it, it won't happen. The clubs have already signalled their intentions to go for sporting integrity.

How long is this shite going to drag on for? It's 5 weeks on Saturday that the season starts.

He'll pocket a nice signing on fee.

Dundee imo. SPL is stale enough without the worst team in it again.

Naismith and Whittaker doing the same as Aluko and rejecting move to newco. Say they will not turn up for pre-season training and will be looking for other employment.

I got a call yesterday. It did seem like they were gauging opinion rather than tryin to sell the ticket. But what's wrong with that? They've phoned up the fans, found out why they're not renewing and have acted on it.

FFS Fuck Sake

Also, st mirren statement due any minute...

One thing that seems to have been forgotten in this by the SPL chairman is the chance to get past the 11-1 shite for important votes which the Old Firm blocked. Each and every issue that they blocked can be re-visited and choices made for the benefit of the SPL and not 2 clubs.

The second the No vote is confirmed, one club must come out and propose a new distribution model for the incoming TV and sponsorship money (which may be reduced, but will still exist).

Chris Harvey on Twitter saying that if vote is up to Milne he will vote yes.

Journos know fuck all though. They all had Hearts down as a Yes.

Dundee United confirm they are a No.

And ESPN already pay for a tv deal without old firm games!

Wasn't a surprise to see Archie McPherson pushing the shite that football needs TV. What he really meant was he needs football to be on TV to stay in a job.

Recorded the STV one and just stuck it on now. What a mistake. Fucking furious already.

"vote them out"

"Rangers have already been severely punished"

"how can they expect a tv company to put down money if the league isn't competitive"

:hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

TV Companies wouldnt be interested in a SPL without Old Firm derbies?

ESPN do that already.

Away kit looks quite good - slightly Germanic

Think that's just a training top rather than the away top.

I like the white shorts.

That is the template. Video makes it look like white shorts and red socks

Nothing spectacular, D&P apparently provisionally agreed to cap fees at 500k but have replied saying that related to a specific scenario.

Yeh a big let down. I was hoping it would be the other way and show that D&P were going to purposely drag it out for as long as possible.

BBC have hold of emails which set out the deal between Whyte and Duff & Phlaps in the days leading up to going into administration. Revealing the details at midnight.

Darlington today relegated 4 divisions for not being able to agree a CVA and going the newco route Rangers are trying.

Wonder if Neil Doncaster will use this example for how newcos are accepted in football in the UK.
