Diadora Van Basten Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Doncaster comes across as a politician speaking over Richard Gordon not answering the question and deliberately missing the point. Could you have made advance payments of 75% of the monies due for this season? Answer no Did you make advance payments in 2016/17? Yes we make advance payments all the time This guy is an absolute clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly there could have been an option to give out the minimum amounts a club could receive. I would say it’s an advance fee payment and this is what should have been done in this situation. The SPFL stated that the only way clubs could get money was to vote the league as over and only offered one option as to how to end it stating that W as the only way. It has now been proven that there was no requirement to make a decision regarding the league at this point. Money could have been paid out. It has also been proven that it is possible to end the season null and void. I think this is just evidence that Celtic want the league called as if and have used payments to clubs as a bargaining chip to get agreement. It has also been proven that Neil Doncaster is not to be trusted and speaks with a forked tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diadora Van Basten Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Saturday 2nd May 2020 SPFL STATEMENT 2ND MAY 2020 Regrettably, we have to correct Ann Budge’s statement in the article by Tom English on the BBC Scotland website today, where she said: “I’ve sat on the SPFL board and I’ve approved a loan for another club.” Quite simply, she did not, (and neither did anyone else during Ann’s tenure on the SPFL board). Her subsequent statement in the same BBC interview is far more accurate: “I genuinely can’t remember the club involved, but a club required an advance. We discussed it, it wasn’t contentious , everybody agreed and we moved on.” As Ann herself correctly states in the latter comment – it was an advance payment of fees due to clubs – and not a loan, which is a crucial distinction. The confusion is unfortunate, but the facts are clear: In 2016, the SPFL agreed to pay invoices from two clubs for fees they were due to receive in the 2016/17 season. This was to help them with cash flow problems caused when Rangers’ promotion into the Premiership meant some clubs would have only two Old Firm home games pre-split rather than three, which they had had prior to 2012. To overcome this challenge, the Board, of which Ann was a director, approved £150k advance fee payments to two clubs. • These advance payments were subject to VAT – Loans are not. • These advance payments were invoiced – Loans are not. • Loans, by their very definition, have to be repaid – these advance fee payments did not. Moving forward, we are still being asked if we could have made loans to clubs of £9m in April, but there is no practical nor realistic way to have done so. Before directors make loans, they must carry out due diligence into whether clubs have the ability to repay the loans. That is a major exercise and to do so 42 times in a short timescale would have been impossible. And, being frank, given the financial crisis that the game is in, it is impossible to see how the Board could have satisfied itself that all 42 clubs would have been a good credit risk. Clubs defaulting on loan repayments would have left every other club liable for the loss - which is exactly what happened when Gretna were given a loan over a decade ago. As to the question: could we not have made millions of pounds of further advance fee payments in April, to help clubs weather the financial storm caused by Covid-19? The answer is no. By the end of March, the SPFL had already made fee payments up to roughly the entitlement of the bottom club in the Ladbrokes Championship, Ladbrokes League 1 and Ladbrokes League 2. With fee payments being entirely dependent on final League placings, the Board’s resolution remains the only realistic way to have made substantial and quick payments to lower league clubs, as well as giving them the certainty and clarity they required to make the tough decisions necessary to get them through to the point that matches can be played once again.

luckydug Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Doncaster grasping at technicalities to get himself out of a spot imo.
