You have a short memory, remember when Rangers went bust, how was his administration skills then?

He was bending over backwards at the time, making excuse after excuse for them to be allowed back into the SPL.

I agree he's doing it by the book now, and doing a good job letting rubber heid hang herself, maybe he learned a valuable lesson from the Sevco shambles?

I'm sure he'd do exactly the same thing again, should the need arise.

My view of the current situation is that he's doing the right thing but there's just not the same pressure on him.

Doncaster has gone right up in my estimation lately. Didn’t really see what he brought to the table previously and actually thought him guilty of underselling our game at times. But he’s dealt with Budge’s nonsense during this pandemic like the consummate professional. Letting budge take charge of the reconstruction task force was a bit of a master stroke - gave her enough rope to hang herself and she’s duly obliging.

Doncaster is a solicitor by trade, and I suspect he's a good one - something the Duncans should take note of. That means he chooses his words and actions carefully and can usually give the appearance of taking the middle ground. Unfortunately solicitors like accountants are generally not very good at sales and marketing so he's good for the current circumstances but we need a better salesman for more normal times.

You're right, he didn't cover himself in glory but, from memory, he wanted Rangers back in at 2nd tier level as this was what he said he could get the TV companies & sponsors to accept. Things were further confused at the time as the SPL and the Scottish League were still separate entities. Doncaster had no official capacity in the Scottish League.

The same auld guff.

I guess the big reveal English hinted at was just the Rangers colt proposal then. Nothing re Hearts proposal or court case. Presume the Hearts is dead like reported in the Sun last night so likely the Rangers one or nowt.

Never tuned in today as would have lost the rag listening to English and his cronies bumming up another crazy proposal.

He thinks it will be difficult to push forward for next season.

Mind you he's thought a lot of guff the last few weeks.

Football in Scotland has no chance of getting going again if this nonsense and propaganda doesn’t stop. It’s a disgrace the stance the national broadcaster is constantly peddling.

[JimBHibees]

On sportsound today English, McCann, craigan, Willie Miller and broadfoot. Spouting about Rangers proposal.

We need to be concentrating on getting football back again, not exploring ways of getting old firm colt teams in. It’s not what we need right now and the BBC should be conveying this.

[Badabing]

It’s worse than usual today, that clown Craigan has joined the circus. Apparently the cheeks colts being allowed to play is a jolly good idea.

[04Sauzee]

No problem with a proposal and talking about it, I will clubs need to give it due diligence, this can't be resolved in a few days or weeks.

Football starts again in a week and the season starts in 8 weeks.

Season starts as is and these conversations can be had throughout the season.

[green day]

It's a discussion paper. This isn't going anywhere until next year at best. Opportunist by Rangers because lower League clubs are skint.

Elgin chairman rubbishing this latest proposal. Basically saying they are endlessly discussing different ideas about reconstruction when they should be talking about getting football started again.

Neil mcann really pushing it "if we can get this through" who is we rangers and hearts

[h1bs4life]

Got the start of it coming home in the car. WTF they have English a rugby journalist who has probably never paid into a football match in his life never mind had a season ticket promoting a document drawn up by an 8 year old club that has never won a major honour in its history which would also save the worst team in the league in the season just finished who have tried to sweeten ( bribe) the whole league into reconstruction.
Caught the bit where the arse cheeks Colts teams would start in the lowest league but if say Hibs or Aberdeen wanted to do the same they would have to start in the Lowland / Highland league.
Neil Mccan no doubt saying Hertz dont deserve to go down , impartial ?
Time clubs in the top flite outwith the ersecheeks who have just showed how much they hate each other come out and say no reconstruction.

And he’s a hundred percent correct. Premiership clubs due back a week on Monday. How many of them actually have things in place to test etc?

The clubs themselves need to take a bit of responsibility. If they really want to they could close it down and say all they want to look at is the restart and all other proposals won’t be considered just now.

It’s been like this on Sportsound every time a new proposal is brought up. Just about everyone on the show roundly backs whatever mental reconstruction proposal is at the forefront that week. Surely there can’t be much more left to go through once this hun effort is binned.

[Hibeesforever]

Dont understand why they are discussing a new proposal when the last reconstruction one put forward by Budge is still live...Scottish football governance is all wrong.

[JimBHibees]

Was I hearing it right? English had the document which he was sharing with McCann but virtually no other club did and the SFA and spfl get it on Tuesday. Nothing like a bit of consultation, absolute joke. Get it tae.

[Springbank]

Reminds of the day Scot Gardiner called in & admitted to collusion to rig a vote (by ICT & PTFC, only to be skudded by Dundee)

Willie Miller was the only one who clocked it.

English,Gordon,Stewart et al were so consumed inside the hearts agenda bubble to notice.

[Keith_M]

Hibs should make a proposal now as well, seeing as everybody else is doing it.


I think they should propose two divisions:

A top league of 12 teams, with the existing structure (including split), the season starting in August and finishing the following May (as per usual).

The second tier of 30 teams, playing each other once at home and once away. That would be a total of 58 games, starting in October 2020 and finishing in May 2022... i.e no rush to get started.


The top tier would revert to the name Premier League and would obviously include Dundee United, as they were promoted, but not Hearts, as they were relegated.

The second tier would be called The Diddy Team League

Don't think Sportsound debate topics anymore. They just get a panel on that agree with everything, Willie Miller occasionally being an exception but usually gets talked over and shouted down.

Budge’s wasnt really a proposal. There is no proposal that would pass.
I reckon its way too late in the day to start any new proposal.
