    He sabotaged himself. 

     

    Rangers informed him that they had a serious contractual issue with the deal that he paid £500k for and it would need to be worked out. Neil arrogantly went ahead with it anyway. 

     

    whilst technically true, the fact that Rangers refused to show him the contract doesn't help.

    Doncaster should have been shown the door a long time ago, he has been extremely poor at his job but he hasn't been helped by 1 club undermining him publicly at every opportunity. The whole Parks' wanting an apology can get in the sea.

  2. If Rangers signed a contract to broadcast all of their games on BT Sport then that wouldn't be permitted under the SPFL rules around broadcasting. The SPFL could implement similar rules around sponsorship if the clubs voted for it.

    They run the competition and if you want to play in it you have to abide by their rules.

    It’s a simple tweak to the rules, you can’t sign a contract that blocks any league sponsors being advertised. Wonder if uefa have a similar rule, just cinch to advertise the European trophies (they seem to sponsor everything else)


    The vast majority of blame here lies with Doncaster no doubt but rangers/parks haven’t acted in good faith. Sounds like they heard what was coming with cinch and entered into this contract with Parks to not advertise any competitors to parks’ used car business (including not sponsoring parks’ used car business) but hey it’s worked they get to tape up all cinch signs going forward and not look pathetic doing it.
  3. Surely they can't receive any money from the sponsorship deal if they're not adhering to the deal? Surely. 

    Course they will. It all goes into the one (small) pot and divided up between the clubs. With them coming second they will get a larger share than most.

    Let’s say they win the league next year, will they raise their own custom flag again? Will the they be called cinch premiership champions?

    The spfl have fcuked this royally.
  4. I’ve no real idea who is right and who is wrong, the arbitration panel can decide that.

    My issue was it took a judges order, during a separate case, for this conflicting contract to appear. The rangers board could have shown it to the spfl board way back when they informed the clubs about the cinch deal but they never. They were playing the awkward card again.

    I just hope the spfl have withheld their £3.75 share of the money.

  5. I think businesses are in a tough place here. We have all proven that we can work from home over the last few years and successfully in most cases but companies have contracts for buildings/spaces that I’m sure aren’t going to be easy to get out of. Add in plenty if middle managers who believe they can only manage by physically seeing their staff and you can understand the rush back to the office.

    But, and this is from my place, companies will struggle to recruit / retain staff if they don’t offer agile working. If your competition is offering 2-3 days a week from home or even allowing you to work remotely from you work location then they will have an advantage when you are competing in the same talent pool.

    My work was 100% against working from home pre covid but now from July we are 2 days minimum from the office. Suits me as I like working from home but love the feel of being in the office and getting out the house.

  6. We were in Glasgow for a concert last night and the amount of trains cancelled between Edinburgh and Glasgow was scary and this was during 'rush' hour.

    On the way through the ticket guy, who never really checked tickets, announced that as of Monday it is an emergency timetable being implemented. I have no idea whose fault it is but this is going to make travelling by train worse than ever and will put people of even trying it if they have an alternative.

  7. Fans on the Broncomania forum are saying ‘criminial tampering and domestic violence’. Apparently he’s been put on something called a ‘no bond hold’, or was it a ‘no hold bond’. Something like that. Supposedly that means a minor misdemeanour. The criminal tampering thing seems to relate to damaging someone’s property. This being the NFL and America though, who the hell knows what he’s done.

    Turns out he’s arguing with the mother of his baby and locked stuff in his car and refused to let her get access as she wants to leave the state.

    A night in the cells seems a bit much
