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

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

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

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.

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.

Raman Bhardwaj@STVRamanJust spoken to an SPL chairman who says an adjournment on vote on Rangers newco ''is highly probable'' today. Adding.
Raman Bhardwaj@STVRaman
...''I don't believe an SPL vote will take place before the SFL vote next week''
Raman Bhardwaj@STVRaman
When asked if it should be the other way around ie SPL clubs should vote first the reply was ''that's the big debate...'' adding
Raman Bhardwaj@STVRaman
''The possibility of creating an SPL 2 is also likely to be discussed today''

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."

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.
