Neil Doncaster on Sportsound

[hibeerealist]

Listened to this and ND gave answers to all questions which were answered very clearly by him. I have to say my thoughts are that Sevco have NOTHING and will be mightily embarrassed by all their spouting!

Any Duncans looking in, you are grasping at straws IF you think the Sevco dossier will help you.

Given there will be no reconstruction I think your time has come, there is the door to the championship now get out.

[04Sauzee]

Instead of clunbs and fans asking for Doncaster to step down, we should be campaign for the removal of the likes of Gordon, English, Young etc from our airwaves

Related topic but I've written to both Hearts & Livi asking for a full refund on the away end tickets I bought to see Hearts v Hibs and Livi v Hibs in December 2019.

The legal basis - if anyone else wanted to write to Hearts in particular about this - is that the ticket is a contract, for entry to a Ladbrokes SPFL Premiership game, a competition where rule C10.3 is clear that the team finishing in 12th place (whenever the season is deemed to have ended) will play the following season in the Championship.

[offshorehibby]

Doncaster basically saying Budge talking p**h regarding loans. English sounding cringe worthy and argumentative on his backing of Budge,

'do you not think a successful business woman like Ann Budge knows like a loan looks like'.

Doncaster's come on and at start said right i'm not on for a free for all one person and he'll do a straight interview. I thought he came across well and answered Gordon's questions, sometimes not to Gordon's liking.

Never used to have any time for Doncaster but as you say he was a lot more believable than the journos attempting to whip up conspiracy theories.

I suspect the fact that the likes of Tom English are letting their imaginations run wild because they are all, by and large, out of work at present and are trying to justify retaining their full salaries.

Mikey Stewart seems to have got it to a degree.

Richard Gordon and Tom English still trying to flog a dead horse.

Willie Miller coming across as thick.

They are ignoring so many of the points Neil Doncaster cleared up to focus on their own agenda.

[CorrieHibs]

Have to say. I’m not his biggest fan, but that was an excellent interview. Went into great detail regarding loans and payments.

Makes English look like an arse. He’s so deeply involved in these allegations of corruption from Rangers and his precious Ann. That he is now continuing it, just to save face.

Tom English is the media mouthpiece of Budge and Hearts, just as Charlie Mann was for Romanov.

But at least Mann had the decency to resign from the BBC before he took on the role.

the only answer to that question is of course yes.

Sportsound is a yam loving shambles. Apparently the boy running it is a yam which is no real surprise. Can't imagine Budge convincing too many other clubs with her mistake ridden sales pitch.

What I find pathetic are their efforts to find intrigue in something that really isn't very complicated.

Agreed but I doubt any Chief executive is going to say he was being bullied. As Donald Findlay yesterday joked that he’d like to see the SPL try.
Someone telling you vote yes or unfortunately we can’t give you your final league position money isn’t bullying it’s a choice. The impact may be enormous but unfortunately it’s happening everywhere look at Hearts last week - Take up to a 30 percent wage cut or we article 12 you and your unemployed. It’s not bullying it’s reality

He could have named the ceo who messaged him saying two other clubs claimed to be bullied. He wouldn’t obviously because Budge would be pulled up for it.

Stewart was either being deliberately stupid or he really did not understand the point about advance payments. Doncaster clearly said in his interview that advance payments had been made to all clubs already based on their worst possible finish. Stewart kept asking why something that had already been done could not be done. Mental.

I agree with what you say that the SPFL was pushing reality and would add that I see the Rangers statement asking for Doncaster and the SPFL solicitor to be suspended without producing any evidence, as the very embodiment of bullying.

The media are desperate to make an issue out of a non issue. People have got more to think about and can’t be arsed with the desperate, self-serving antics of Budge, the Jambos and Huns.,

All they are doing is making themselves look even more foolish and tiresome than normal, which, in all fairness, is a fairly substantial achievement.

The Scotsman must have deleted it. There is very little independence in the Scottish press and so many mouthpieces.

I’ve never had time for Doncaster, in fact I’ve often questioned why he’s even in the post. Today proved why, slaloming through all the ***** that Gordon could throw at him; putting an end to Tom English’s desperate attempts to prove there to be some sort of conspiracy and calling Ann Budge our for havering ***** all in the space of half an hour.

He did very well, only acknowledged by MS as having actually answered the questions thrown at him. English et al have really got their work cut out to justify their salaries now, Doncaster was the only one to do so this afternoon.

I honestly can't believe how thick they are across there. The league position/payment thing isn't hard to understand. Hibs currently sit 6th but in theory could finish bottom if the season is played out, therefore we'll have been advanced the equivalent of the bottom place pay out. Any more is too risky given how shoogly clubs will be financially.

They're trying to make a scandal of the money thing where none exists.

It was annoying me how Michael Stewart couldn’t seem to understand this today. He was asking why the clubs could not have had an advance and Doncaster had just said that every club had already had an advance to the level it was safe to give them without the risk of over paying them.

Bang on Ozy - both MS and Thompson are showing they have zero knowledge of business and the law. MS banging on about how advances could be paid back next season in as it 'only amounts to around £200,000'. Say they did advance (or loan) clubs cash based on position, and then - said club then goes into admin or worse - SPFL out of pocket to a large amount in Scottish football terms.

Some clubs have already stated they may not exist if it continues into next year FFS.

Obviously nothing is going to convince our Jumbo chums that Neil Doncaster is not the antichrist.

Sad and funny in equal measure.

[Brunswickbill]

I thought that Doncaster raised an issue which wasn't picked up by the Sportsound conspiracy cabal. He made reference to the fact that prior to the SPFL's resolution being put to the vote there was the possibility of the Leagues being declared null and void. Sevco and Hertz no doubt saw that as an option as it would have stopped Celtic being declared league winners and would have stopped relegation. But Doncaster made clear that voiding the leagues would have been finacially disastrous as TV monies and sponsors would demand refunds. I took from that that the SPFL Board needed to get a resolution approved that would allow them to call the leagues and would formally rule out any question of declaring them null and void. Stewart's suggestion of postponiong a decision and making financial advances seems reasonable, but without an agreement not to void the leagues, this would have left the SPFL exposed to grave finacial consequences if monies were advanced to clubs and the leagues were subseqently voided. I don't know if this is correct but it seems to explain why Doncaster said that there was no option but to do what they did. If it wasn't for Sevco and their EGM nonsense, the ESPL could have already called the leagues and issued the payments based on final league positions in accordance with the rules. Because this issue wasn't fully clarified and explored in the interview it allowed English to carry on querying it.

I think that Stewart has rowed back on his previous position attacking the SPFL board and total objection to any relegation for Hertz. I guess he realised that he was beginning to look foolish and backing a losing hand. He's become a bit more reasonable. But English has dug himself a deep hole that he can't get out of. Perhaps Mrs Budge will give him a ladder, there must be one lying around in her unfinished stand.

Apologies if this was posted previously, I wrote it on my mobile and it didn't appear to post.

Bang on Ozy - both MS and Thompson are showing they have zero knowledge of business and the law. MS banging on about how advances could be paid back next season in as it 'only amounts to around £200,000'. Say they did advance (or loan) clubs cash based on position, and then - said club then goes into admin or worse - SPFL out of pocket to a large amount in Scottish football terms.

Some clubs have already stated they may not exist if it continues into next year FFS.

I got the impression that Gordon was being fed questions, probably by English and Stewart, because he paused a couple of times and repeated questions that he'd aready asked and had aready been answered

They said at the start it would be a one on one interview so it’s not as if they just muted the others and they didn’t know about it. They would have English and Mikey shouting over each other and no answer back otherwise.

Going by what’s been posted on here ND made it clear he would not be assaulted by questions from them all.

Let’s face it, they have their own agenda and their continued Hearts/Budge love in and bad mouthing of ND and the SPFL is clear for all to see

Yep, why Doncaster would put himself in front of that would have been mental. They are hardly impartial. I hope he made it clear he wasn’t speaking to English at the last min to get him in a rage, wouldn’t surprise me if that’s why he ended up getting the text from Budge.

He’s probably went on given all the ***** that’s been said and flung about him and the SPFL.
Clarification on a number of issues.

What we can take from all this is once again Budge has been found out yet again spouting pish and lies to try and discredit ND and the SPFL.

Whilst ND and the SPFL have come in for criticism of late why has no one in the media called out Budge for her pish?

The final bit I agree with especially (the rest is spot on too). Nobody ever questions Budge about anything ever, the opposite it’s trying their hardest to bum her up. Her club is a shambles, she’s just bullied players to take wage cuts, spent tens of millions on a **** tip backed Levein and Cathro and now stares relegated in the puss. She just says what she likes and even when it’s a load of ***** it’s never question.

Because its not fair to relegate a team that has spent most of the last 12 months at the bottom of the league.

Or, because Anne Budge is a very smart businesswoman

Or, Foundation of Hearts is just brilliant


Or, something


Stop hounding Hearts you peg selling gyppo

Everyone on that show thinks she’s amazing with superb business acumen and whilst this may have been in her non football business her football business is utter ***** which includes the mismanagement of £30 million.

Spent indeed.... ***** loads of other folks money on ***** players, a ***** unfinished stand, a decent pitch (which is now *****).

So in a word they’ve been ***** for ages but it’s not their fault because they’ve spent ***** loads trying to avoid being *****!

If I were English I would be wary of accepting the "advance" of the use of a ladder from Budge...she has an knack of constructing modes of ascending that have a habit of going nowhere.

[Brunswickbill]

She might just loan it to him.

Enjoyed reading Rod Petrie’s thoughts on where we are right now, but very sad to see loss of the iconic moustache amid the lockdown beard.

Tragic to see the loss of a clean-shaven chin, leaving solely a vibrant moustache. We live in difficult times. There’s probably no going back from here.

They’ve completely ran out of ammo now and are going round in circles malfunctioning.

[CraigHibee]

English sounding cringe worthy and argumentative on his backing of Budge,



i'm sure he has a thing for annie bannany, maybe wants a tour of the new stand and a peek at her glass curtains, he seems to love them for some strange reason

[CraigHibee]

it really is about time to stop pissing about now

send the puddle drinking sewer rats down, it's going to happen anyway they might as well do it now and get it over and done with without letting it drag on.

Yep, that's a pretty accurate summation IMO. I do wonder at the BBC, with the supposed emphasis on neutrality, why they have so many people on the one sports programme who support the same team. Let's see, there's MS, English, McLaughlin, Kheridine Iddisane, Paul Mitchell, Charlie Mann, Preston, and some more no doubt. They're becoming the Daily Record of sport broadcasting, full of sensationalist nonsense and bias. English is safe there, as he is able to cover up his complete lack of football knowledge in that type of environment.

[SMAXXA]

I really hope once everything has been resolved and hopefully the SPFL have been cleared of any wrong doing, the Huns and Hearts are hammered for bringing out game into disrepute.

Still think they will escape relegation some how

Tom English knows Scottish fitba. John McGinn was never worth £1.75m and would have made the Celtic first team.

Theyve been relegated. Its impossible for them to escape it.Why would they be able to escape relegation when no other club has?
I think Rangers will wait till just before the egm then withdraw from it.Coming out with some moral reason about it being for the good of the game etc.

It was a new low for me. Even Mrs Col2 asked me what was wrong yesterday.

[Brizo]

Never used to have any time for Doncaster but as you say he was a lot more believable than the journos attempting to whip up conspiracy theories.

I suspect the fact that the likes of Tom English are letting their imaginations run wild because they are all, by and large, out of work at present and are trying to justify retaining their full salaries.

Agree with this. Doncaster ran rings round Gordon who was reduced to repeating the same question over and over and seemed to me to be totally out of his depth

Doncaster came out of it as very believable and professional. He also played it right by only agreeing to a 1 to 1 with Gordon. Allowing a free for all would have opened it up to English and Stewart and their weekly battle of the egos, talking over each other and everyone else.

In the dumbed down world of Scottish fitba punditry when there's next to nothing to talk about , it's even more important for characters like English and Stewart to have something "controversial" to say to keep those freelance fees rolling in.

All control was lost when we turned a blind eye to the systemic cheating at Ibrox. They do and say as they like now.
Probably Romanov the last one to face any kind of disciplinary for something that was said.

Whenever the Scottish Football authorities want to punish a player or team (usually outside of Celtic and The Rangers) they can point to some random, catch-all clause, tucked away in a sub-section somewhere, that allows a charge to be levied.

I seem to recollect a similar charge in the last year or so, not sure against whom, where the press reported it along the lines of it being a ‘little known or used clause...’

Like others have stated, whilst having no time for Neil Doncaster and his part in trying to parachute The Rangers into the Championship, yesterday he sounded authoritative and well-versed in corporate law and confidently responded to all the questions from a clearly flustered Richard Gordon!

Part of their planning is 24 hour security for an exuberant Rod Petrie, several body doubles have already been recruited and the example here is obviously one of them. Rod is currently in his Crosby, Stills and Nash phase at home with his pony tail and trademark mouser.

Well, at least that makes sense. Godspeed, we find a resolution to the twin evils of a) this virus and b) the pitiful moaning of Rankgers and HOMFC.

Finally then we might see RP restored to his full glory, a brushy moustache not unduly distracted from by other facial hair. I will forgive him nasal and ear, and maybe the eyebrows getting a bit bushy from time to time, none of us are as young as we used to be.
