I heard it I've found the article pete posted (which is HERE including videos) and it reads to me like this interview was conducted by STV's reporter Raman Bhardwaj. Was he on BBC's Sportsound program? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he on BBC's Sportsound program? yes...that's what I thought it was. It'll be on Iplayer. Same answers were trotted out to similar questions ps.....are you sure the STV reporter didn't just listen to BBC and copied it down. Reporters do that a lot Edited May 14, 2015 by colinstein 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reporters do that a lot No this was an interview conducted by the STV reporter mate. [sidenote] - Pete, I've added a link to the bottom of your post in the OP. You need to remember to do this mate, or else we could be pulled up for copyright infringement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 How detached from reality is it possible to get? He's not just detached from reality, he's a super-fly snake oil salesman. Telling us it's the best deal the Scottish Football League have ever had in 125 years is pretty fresh when he's just taken part in merging the 125 year old Scottish footballing institution into SPIFFEL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does make it clear he's there to do what the clubs tell him. The decisions are therefore not his to make. That's what he gets paid for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course, but he's the Chief Executive and in that role he's essentially in charge of bringing as much revenue into the SPFL from broadcasting and sponsorship as possible. My point wasn't that it's all his fault though, it was that Doncaster appears to have tried to paint a picture of the new sponsorship deal being the best deal Scottish football's ever had, when it would seem as though it isn't that at all. He did it in a sneaky way though because in at least one of the interviews he mentioned it as being the best deal the Scottish Football League has ever had in 125 years, but the Scottish Football League no longer exists following the suspiciously rushed merger with the SPL to form the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,890 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 We’re a collective of the 42 clubs and the 42 member clubs sign up to that set of rules and it’s the board’s job to enforce those rules. Were we actually members back then? Or just associated members with no vote? Just to clear this up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
