Who is leslie deans

Former hearts chairman. He’s a lawyer.

I don’t think we’re as far behind Celtic as the OP suggests. Our form after the break was a mystery but the absence of Morelos was a major factor and when he returned he was well short of match sharpness. I still think the squad is a bit short in one or two areas and selling to strengthen might be the answer.

Regards since we returned to the premiership, the disastrous summer  signings in 2016 by MW & Pedro a year later in 2017 hindered us greatly and meant we couldn’t mount a proper challenge 

So if yahoos get awarded title who gets SC ?

looking at the 4 semi-finalists, hibz & Aberdeen have needed replays so far. Yahoos have conceded one goal but hearts won their SC ties without conceding.

Do hearts win SC ?

Doncaster is liewell’s puppet in the SPFL. He does as instructed.

The Celtc cabal running the SPFL are determined to award Celtc the title(despite there being 8 games left & a £10m liability) and don’t give  a damn about the other consequences of relegating clubs as a result. This fight must go on

For the good of Scottish football in general, Liewell’s network of placemen needs to be dismantled.

Bumbling Doncaster and the odious wee rhat MacKenzie will do for starters at the SPFL.

When Neil Doncaster opens his mouth Peter Lawwell speaks....

It is time this regretful episode was brought to an end and Doncaster is sent packing.

To be replaced with another Separate Entity FC hand picked patsy??

Hopefully not. Selection process needs to be transparent. No Nolan Partners

Actually he is right. The other clubs should decline that kind offer and pay their share. 

These clubs don’t have the money. That’s what the SPFL game plan has been all along I.e. deprive them of their payments unless they toe the SPFL party line

Doncaster is in his position by virtue of Celtic's patronage and sufferance. He will stay until he's told to go and he will go when he's told. This entire affair looks like coming apart in Peter Lawwell's hands and can only be contained by avoiding an independent investigation. Therefore, Doncaster may well be sacrificed on the condition there is no investigation and to keep the Celtic name in the clear. Celtic may well succeed in this but it looks like Rangers have enough to force the issue in court or at least to destroy the cabal Lawwell has worked so long to establish.

Doncaster will be the fall guy. His position is now  untenable

And an independent investigation would/will expose these shabby machinations (inter alia). 

Never in my life have I seen a company ( and the SPFL is a company) try to force the outcome of a vote by blackmail. 

It is unbelievable that there are those who cannot see that there was collusion between the SPFL and the yahoos to hand them the title by calling the leagues early & threatening clubs if they didn’t agree they wouldn’t get their payments. That was the plot all along but there was a couple of problems.

The first problem was getting the clubs to agree so a farcical vote was held with clubs being blackmailed & the doomed offer of league reconstruction was aired. Eventually the vote carried under circumstances Robert Mugabe would have been proud of. And leagues reconstruction is now a dead duck. Quelle surprise.

The second problem was the SPFL didn’t have the money to pay out the clubs. And they had a £10m potential liability to SKY so (to get the TV money for the remainder of the season to pay clubs) they offered SKY sponsorship rights to the SPFL for the next few seasons although SKY wouldn’t pay a penny. Commercial stupidity. Even daft clubs like Raith Rovers wouldn’t vote for that & the SPFL knew it so they tried to keep it secret 

But a whistleblower told big bad Rangers and they spotted the plot right away. So simple to follow. The positions of Doncaster & MacKenzie are untenable . 

Kamara is a far better player than some of our support give him credit for. He must not be sold on the cheap

Compare and contrast Stewart Robertson's open, honest and professional interview tonight to the contrived, staged and closed interview Dungcaster conducted at the weekend (in addition to the truly Bizzare shifty self-Q&A). 

 

It is also worth re-listening to the Doncaster interview when Dick Gordon questions him on any potential loss of earnings from sponsorship if we called the league. He stutters, side-steps and then question - he knew he'd be caught and "deflected" the question.

Today’s dossier has caught out the SPFL big style. If they declare the season early there will be liabilities. How will these liabilities be met ? We deserve to be told. 

Giving out free sponsorships is complete madness 

Advocaat used to call Roger Mitchell ‘the music man’ because of his background. He had no experience whatsoever in football but managed to get the top position in the SPL.

He was working in Italy before he got the SPL job and it’s said he found out about it one day whilst sitting in a cafe & spotted it in the situations vacant section of a newspaper. He applied & got the job and the rest unfortunately is history . He was useless.

That can't be true. It would be ridiculous if true 

That’s what the SPFL proposed to do without any dialogue with the clubs. 

The SKY premiership ( free of charge)

They responded just over 1hr after Rangers circulated the document even tho the document wasn't sent to them. Think about that, they took 1hr to respond to an email they didn't receive from Rangers, but couldn't find an email sent to them from Dundee.

 

Anyway their response was the predictible ; nothing to see here so bugger off you annoying huns. 

 

We even have Roger Mitchell tweeting today that if Rangers refuse to call the season, we should be deducted points.  

 

Why does anyone want to know what Roger Mitchell thinks ? He was a complete failure at the SPL.

Same goes for Stewart Regan.

Just examples of lazy journalism 

The SPFL were doing everything they could to complete the season & give the yahoos the title despite there being 8 or 9 games left.

They were prepared to offset a £10m liability from SKY by giving them free sponsorship rights  to the SPFL over the next few seasons which would have resulted in a financial shortfall.

How could anyone with a modicum of intelligence agree to that ? (except the yahoos of course)

Anyone expecting the two sides of the sectarianism debate to be treated equally whilst the SNP have a majority at Holyrood is completely out of touch with reality.

The SNP have stolen the yahoo vote from SLAB. The yahoos alongside the SNP are much more dangerous than SLAB

Surely we’ll now make more money from merchandise sales ?

Can't see the problem. I don't think Nike, Adidas etc actually manufacture anything. I assume all the various labels simply place a manufacturing order with a third party to produce and distribute the product. I imagine Castore could do this as well as anyone.

Hummel struggled to begin with...

The usual Stubbsian philosophy ..... except ..... except

“Plus, if anything, if the season had continued, I could only see the gap between the two clubs becoming even wider.

“For me, it’s not even up for discussion because Celtic would have finished even further ahead.

“Rangers had been more or less admitting that their season was over before the lockdown even happened and they were only ever playing for second place this year.

 

“Last December when Rangers bossed Celtic at Parkhead we thought we had a genuine title race but then the wheels fell off for them. They have been really poor since the winter break.

“Sometimes you look outside for excuses but it’s better to look at home for them. They only have themselves to blame for that.“

 

I might be able to argue that but I doubt if I would persuade many.

Who cares what a guy thinks who lasted 2 months as st mirren manager?

Please allow me to quote Michael Stewart from today's BBC Scotland's interview with Neil Doncaster, "Neil Doncaster is a thoroughly decent guy".

Doncaster is one of Liewell’s useful idiots who can be sacrificed if need be.

The biggest worry if Castore ( if they’re to be  Rangers kit suppler next season) is whether a company of their size would be able to cope with the demand for Rangers merchandise especially in view of the termination of SD involvement

That was my first thought - I wonder what it cost us?

I wonder if DK’s departure had anything to do with it?
