What makes it even more bizarre is he's actually on SPFL Board.

Shhhhh it doesn't serve the narrative that the SPFL have it in for Ra Peepel to highlight the Rangers managing director himself is an SPFL higher up.

Apologies for The Sun link, but some Ibrox blazer has written to the 41 other clubs.

Interesting. This bit:

  • Given the possibility of Rule I7 being relied upon by members, did the SPFL Executive/legal advisors include a clause in the contract with cinch, which allows the SPFL not to provide rights to cinch where members rely upon Rule I7?  If not, why not?

Could be fired right back at them. "Given Rangers knew they'd have obligations to display a league sponsor's logo, why did they enter into a contract that could restrict their ability to do so. Did they include a clause that would allow them to do so? If not, why not?" 

Taking Rangers mewlings at face value, it does appear shitey conduct from the SPFL to not respond on their concerns. 

Looks like some turd sandwich v giant douche public feuding incoming. Looking forward to it.

SPFL have a brass neck announcing it as a £8m deal when its actually £7.5m

As a board member surely Robertson was made aware of the negotiations in advance of any announcement.

If he didn't flag it, is it because he took it as a given that many clubs have motor trade tie ins and there's not any conflict? @Jamie_Beatson post covers, no issue in previous seasons so I think they'd have a hard time justifying it. Maybe he didn't bank on Dougie being so petulant.

Look who's playing in the Carling Premiership .....

Robertson wasn't elected to the spfl board when it was being negotiated.

The fact we're paying an agency £100k pa for each of the 5 years of this cinch deal is pretty pish too

If there's anything good to come out of Ranger's unprofessional public mudslinging approach to disputes, it is that some more light is shed on exactly how shite the spfl admin truly is. 

(FAO Rangers- making another organisation look as shite as yours is not "a win".)

How did they manage when their shirt sponsor was a gambling firm, and the main competitions were sponsored by other gambling firms? They’ve still not said exactly what the conflict is here.

Probably their chairman being unimpressed with having to advertise a direct competitor to his business. 

'Park is the founder of Park's Motor Group, Scotland's biggest independent auto group.'

There’s been absolutely nothing to say it’s the Park’s link that’s causing the issue

I mean, it has to be though? Either that or they told Tomket Tires they wouldn't have any other sleeve sponsors, which would be daft considering having the league sponsor on your shirt sleeve is a fairly well-established tradition.

There's been nothing confirming it's Rangers trying to force the hand of the SPFL & other clubs into giving them bigger share of the pot but that doesn't mean it's not true either.

What the fuck else could it be? They’re the only club who’s chairman owns a motor franchise and the only club refusing to wear the logo of another motor franchise on their jerseys.
