I would expect we're already engaged in that direction.

A segment of an interview on the BBC this afternoon with David Currie interviewing Neil Doncaster.

 

DCWhen you look at the cards that some  clubs are being dealt ,.. Hearts ,Stranraer, Partick Thistle in particular ,..perhaps, and then the clubs who are hoping to get into  the SPFL through the pyramid system. Do you see the injustice,.apparent injustice in there?

 

ND - "You’ve got to remember that we are a sporting competition , and every year we have a sporting competition, you get champion clubs, and you get clubs that are relegated, that is the nature of the league, and clearly no one expected that the line would have to be drawn under the lower league season at this stage due to the covid 19 crisis , but…we have to deal with the consequences, and ultimately you could have gone down the route of voiding the season and saying look .the season doesn’t matter, and how would the likes of Dundee Utd have felt about that ? and that’s aside from all the legal ramifications that would go with voiding the league. So ultimately in a sporting competition you have to have a pragmatic way forward,..and the board believe, and i think rightly, that drawing a line under the season in the lower leagues ie. on a points per game basis, we do exactly what’s happened in the French league,.. that clearly has consequences for the likes of , ..Dundee Utd,…promoted,..and Raith Rovers ,..promoted, but clearly those people who miss out are going to feel disenfranchised, ..that is the way of these things”.

 

Doncaster is truly a man bereft of any compassion whatsoever, and a guilt level so high that he can not even bring himself to mention the clubs that he so badly let down, instead refers to them as " Other people"

 

What are these legal ramifications that he refers to? i may have missed something here, does he mean the tv deal ,or does he mean legal ramifications from the three clubs currently sitting top ?.

It's almost word for word what he said on Sportsound earlier this afternoon. 

Obviously well rehearsed and won't stray away from his script unless proper and correct questions are asked.
