**** me wow. Rangers taking the fight to the SPFL. I wish Ann Budge would get the balls and release a similar statement out the pressure full on. **** Neil doncaster

 

Hearts could issue a statement. But a lot is unclear. 

 

Ann Budge will be working on it with other clubs.

Oh what I'd give for Vlad to be around right now...he'd be in his absolute element. 

I was just thinking the same thing. He’d be bouncing around like a kid with ADHD

Forfar Chairman says they wanted Partick and Falkirk in their league as better financially. 

 

Voted to relegate Partick to suit themselves. 

 

Doesn't want Cove Rangers and Edinburgh City in league due to less fans.

Ann needs to release a statement to similar effect.

 

Two of Scotlands largest clubs calling for the CEO's head? His position is untenable. 

 

C'mon Ann.

Forfar deserve to die. Voting for a tuppence and to get Particks fans money. Disgraceful. 

At least he was honest, to be fair.

Forfar didn’t take money into account... but voted because Falkirk and Partick in League 1 would be better for them financially. Wow.

WE have been presented with evidence via a whistleblower that raises serious concerns surrounding the SPFL’s processes relating to its stewardship of the voting on the resolution presented to member Clubs.

Rangers’ Interim Chairman, Douglas Park, attempted to discuss this evidence with SPFL chief executive, Neil Doncaster, who initially refused to do so. The SPFL followed up that call with an e-mail, which we believe was a thinly disguised attempt to silence legitimate concerns.

Rangers will not be bullied into silence. We believe it is in the interests of all Scottish clubs and supporters that the evidence, which is alarming, be addressed as quickly as possible.

The voting debacle and the evidence we possess raise serious questions concerning the corporate governance of the SPFL.

Mr Park said: “The lack of leadership and responsibility from the SPFL as a members’ organisation has shocked me. If ever there was a time for complete openness and transparency, it is now. Crucial decisions are being made on the issues of promotion and relegation behind closed doors and without proper time for consideration or debate.

“The farcical conduct of this affair seems to me to bring the corporate governance and business operations of the SPFL into sharp focus. It is an example of an undemocratic culture, which has existed within the SPFL for far too long.

“As a member club, we are disturbed by the evidence that has been presented and feel there is no choice but to call for an independent investigation into this entire matter. Each member of the SPFL board has a duty to its members to ensure that such an investigation is instructed without delay.

“All we ask for is equality and respect. In the past few days, we have become alarmed at a seeming lack of even-handedness and fair play from the SPFL. This is surely unacceptable and, if substantiated, must be remedied.

“Other member clubs, who have seen the evidence we hold, share our concerns.

“We call for the suspension of the SPFL’s Chief Executive, Neil Doncaster and its legal adviser, Rod McKenzie while an independent investigation is conducted.”

Add Forfar onto the list of clubs I want to see go bust after this.

 

It's frightening how far the self interest and willingness to put finance above sporting integrity runs in our game.

Miller should shut the **** up, or maybe Scaberdeen have something to hide....

 

What can they hide? Everyone knows their tongues cling to the rim of Celtic arseholes.

Willie Miller is an utter spangle. Just shut up you cockwomble.

 

He's always completely out of touch with what others around him are saying. About a week behind and even then his input is irrelevant drivel.

He basically wanted Partick relegated because of the away support.  Never mentioned the lack of sporting integrity in the clubs deciding to demote them though.  Pr1ck

That deserves a Boycott. They weren't voting for the payout money.
