    The thick plottens.


    The SPFL fail to follow their own rules as TV cashback farce rumbles on


    NEIL DONCASTER was left red-faced last night after discovering the SPFL’s own rule book contradicts the terms of his controversial TV cashback deal.

    The under-fire chief has revealed in an open letter in Record Sport he had to cough up to broadcasters for the cost of screening Rangers games in the lower leagues. Doncaster had to hand back up to £750,000 to TV companies threatening to rip up the £15million per year deal following the collapse of the Ibrox club. The sweetener was fine under the SPL banner. But it’s been revealed the new SPFL rulebook put the responsibility with host clubs not TV companies. It states: “Each club shall provide a suitable gantry or gantries for use by TV cameras and any other moving picture cameras.”

    The SPFL have not applied the letter of the law as it was a leftover from old SPL guidelines and shouldn’t apply to lower divisions.

    Doncaster admits the deal to keep TV companies on board was for the greater good of the game.

    To be fair Mindy did say that it is the clubs who have to provide the gantry etc or TV yesterday.

    What he said the other day

    A lie plain and simple, either that or he's not read or had anyone check his own rulebook. Incompetence or lying, either way I think his jacket is on a very shaky nail.

    You're not getting my point...

    If you think that's viable and would generate more money than the current deal then yer mad.

    Compared to countries of a similar size we have shocking deal. Norway gets more money than us for ****s sake. Time to tell sky to **** off and they can take their hype league as well.

    It was'nt in the SPL/SPFL, it was in the 2nd and 3rd divisions. If a 3rd division team like Brechin was drawn to play at home to Celtic do you think Sky would have asked them to pay for TV gantries? They'd gobble it up, it's not as if there was no demand for Rangers' games on TV.

    Either they don't have such rules in their handbook or it was totally at odds with the logic of the SPL/SPFL Sky/BT/ESPN deal.

    Don't start with that Armageddon pish. We would do all right on our own.

    With no tv deal...n go it alone?

    You're mental if you think Scottish football wouldn't suffer...

    Might not effect Celtic but definitely the rest...deluded to think otherwise.

    You keep repeating the same point...do you honesty think that would generate the same amount as the deal in place?
