TheWeeBlueDevil 0 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster has WON a vote of confidence from top-flight chairmen to front their plans to reconstruct Scottish football. SunSport exclusively revealed yesterday that there were moves to sideline Doncaster from the process amidst fears that Scottish football’s summer from hell had left him badly damaged as the SPL’s figurehead. Powerbrokers moving against Doncaster insisted the pushing forward of their plans for a 24-team two-league format would be better taken OUT of his hands. SunSport’s story saw moves within the SPL hierarchy yesterday and we understand it has now been confirmed that Doncaster has the mandate with the support of the majority of the 12 top-flight clubs. Doncaster will now head talks with the SPL’s steering group as they thrash out the way ahead for a radical reshape of the game. That will see the blueprint for the future put in front of a meeting of all SPL clubs on Monday December 3. Yesterday’s behind-the- scenes talks mean Doncaster is now free to push forward with the SPL plan which sees a two league set- up, splitting into three divisions of eight. Doncaster and SFA supremo Stewart Regan faced a storm of criticism for their handling of the Rangers crisis. Both have faced months of pressure since and the SPL chief’s enemies within fear he cannot now be used as the man to further their cause on reconstruction. They wanted a new voice but Doncaster will continue at the forefront of the fight to have the SPL plan adopted instead of the SFL’s vastly different 16-10-16 idea championed by their chief executive David Longmuir.

The Real PapaBear 0 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Doncaster, Happy, Sneezy, Dopey and Doc can make all the plans they want - but unless we give the go-ahead, nothing's going to happen. It's about time that all the dwarves of Scottish football realised this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
