Douglas Fraser‏@BBCDouglsFraserNeil Doncaster tells #bbcradio4today "huge damage to other clubs if #Rangers go into 3rd division". Health of other clubs must be uppermost

Doncaster is a puppet

1 there are no rangers any more

2 the other SFL teams seem to do quite well without them

he likes to scaremonger about the unknown, who knows what will happen to the other clubs, his next ploy will be if Rangers don't get in aliens will invade!!

[Hibrandenburg]

Surely they won't vote against the currents with Hun number 1 in town to whip up support?

[stokesmessiah]

Anyone else think we are going to end this day feeling deeply disappointed?

How on earth do they get away with this pish? It's blatant scaremongering and sabre rattling on behalf of Rangers

This is what I don't get. Doncaster is CEO of the SPL. The SPL has a vote today on whether to accept the transfer of Rangers SPL share to NewCo, and it is expected that 7 SPL clubs will oppose the transfer. So NewCo will not have an SPL share.

It's none of Doncaster's business what happens to NewCo. It is outside of his remit.

If the *****bag lying *******s delay today's vote, I will more than likely tell Rodders to stick my ST where the sun doesn't shine. I'll take the financial hit.

I'm utterly fed up of those ********s treating us like twats and lying to all and sundry.

My feelings exactly.

[John_the_angus_hibby]

Just so I can say at least I added my voice. Just sent.

Dear Rod,

Firstly I understand your responsibilities as a director of Hibernian FC. I am also a director of company and held previous board level positions.

However, I must add my voice to those calling on you to keep this simple. Your club's support - customers - are almost unanimous in their view that Rangers must not be allowed to have the license passed to the NewCo. However there is also the same, even stronger view due the perceived lack of equity and fairness, that Rangers/NewCo must follow existing rules and have to start from the bottom without any favoured status which seems to be the demand from themselves and Doncaster et al.

You may be trying to use the situation for, on paper, good reasons including leverage to bring about league restructuring and mitigate financial impact on more exposed clubs. I am sorry but that boat has sailed and Chairman must now reflect their clubs fan base as anything other than a clear and simple result following the existing rules will be treated with absolute contempt and the threats of mass fans leaving the game or following SFL clubs will happen.

Keep it simple. There are existing rules, follow them.

The more delays the less chance of them getting in anywhere, which I think is the best result.

The longer it goes on there's less chance clubs in division 1 could be prepared in time and even less chance those in division 3 could.

Let the meetings rumble on, the sandwiches are ace :-)

Or thrown out of anywhere?

[Steve20]

Rangers will start again in Division 3. No other way the votes will go.

People who want them out of all leagues forever are going a bit far, imo.

And Petrie efter him as one of those responsible for appointing the prick.

Another fine appointment by Petrie and unsurprisingly one of the others responsible was ex hun, Bain.

Nobody's throwing anyone out. Rangers are dead. This is a new team. They should apply for a place in div 3. I have no problem if the teams in the SFL vote them in there though, as that would be following the rules.

So Scottish football is pretty much dead then.

Have they even applied for that yet though? The season's just about to start. I think they'll be out for the year.

[SneakersO'Toole]

At what point will UEFA or FIFA actually step in and start holding people accountable for this farce?

A delay in the vote today will cause bedlam within the ranks of the fans.

Re written based on todays ground breaking scientific discovery regarding the Higgs Boson

http://live-blog.uk.msn.com/Event/Hi...n_announcement

Scottish football chiefs believe they have captured the elusive "Huns Boson" that gives football gravitas and holds the physical fabric of Scottish football together.

• The historic announcement came in a progress report from the SPL/SFL/SFA, authors of the £16 million "Big Bang" hypothesis which warns of the collapse of Scottish Football - should the Huns Boson not be protected at all costs.

• Neil Doncaster, chief executive of the Scottish Premier League, said: "It's a momentous day for Rangers."

Rangers are not dead, don't kid yourself. I'm not getting involved in that part, anyway. It's about where they end up. They should be in Division 3 and will be.

[Alan62]

Having read Neil Doncaster's opinion this morning from an interview he gave to Radio 5 Live, you have to say that if the SPL clubs reject the Sevco application (which they should) then Doncaster's position is completely untenable. His resignation would have to follow.

If the rules are going to be reinvented just to suit Rangers then there is no point in having rules. Frankly, if Sevco doesn't qualify for the third division either then I think we just have to accept that Rangers are, indeed, dead and work out how Scottish Football moves on without them. Mr Doncaster has nailed his colours firmly to the mast. He wants to maintain the Old Firm stranglehold on the league and their dominance of the cup competitions. He clearly doesn't particularly mind that they've shafted their creditors and cheated for years. And he also doesn't care that the majority of fans of EVERY other club in Scotland say that they do not want to see rule breaking to accommodate a very dodgy looking company that has bought Rangers' assets in highly controversial circumstances. Our voice doesn't count. Money is all that he values.

I think either he goes or we go. I'm not quite ready to give up watching Scottish Football so I think it's only right that we keep up our pressure on our Club to do the right thing.
