Gordon let Doncaster off the hook - I had to answer the phone during his interview - did Stewart or English question Doncaster? No the terms he put going on was a one on one interview 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't be clearer and more concise than that imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wifie Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 these guys are scottlish football pundits. They actually have no clue about how the SPFL is set up, run, governed and manage money. If only they had had some time away from a heavy fixture list to do some research 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I'm still stunned that Neil Doncaster managed to come out looking top notch in what was supposed to be a grilling. Tom English who is loved on here (And I respected him too) has had the nightmare of all nightmares and I know I keep mentioning that, but I'm only mentioning it because I'm stunned at that's how it's played out. Would never have predicted that before this disaster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Day Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Brilliant ! SPFL statement which is correcting the assertion in the Tom English / Budge interview where it was stated that she ok'd a loan while on the SPFL board. Tom English was babbling earlier about "doesnt Neil Doncaster think Anne Budge knows what a loan is?" The answer is clearly - No !!! Its an amusing situation where Doncaster is made to look good.................... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Budge has shown herself to be a shite business person when it comes to football. Not sure why Tom English is holding her up as some sort of irrefutable source who's integrity is unquestioned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 It's come down to a silly semantic argument about what constitutes a loan/advance, etc - I think the whole loan thing may be bit of a red herring. Interesting that the loans story broke just ahead of Doncaster finally giving an interview - relatively easy questions for him to answer repeatedly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an amusing situation where Doncaster is made to look good.................... Richard Gordon even read out the quote from Budge on air after the interview: "[It was] in my early days as a director. I genuinely can't remember the club involved, but a club required an advance. We discussed it [as a board], it wasn't contentious, everybody agreed and we moved on. It sticks in my mind. Can you give a loan to a club? Yes you can. And I know that for a fact." Which clearly says a) they approved an advance and b) you can give loans. Not that they actually gave a loan during her time on the board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Nothing more exciting right now than trying to figure out what shite Ann Budge will spout that will make her look worse and more inept than she already did the previous week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
