Aberdeen statement - wasn't expecting this ; Aberdeen Football Club will vote for the resolution at tomorrow’s SPFL EGM. Chairman, Dave Cormack, sets out the Club’s position. “We reiterate our belief that an independent inquiry is the only way of drawing a line under what has become a highly damaging episode for the whole of Scottish football.

Kris Commons backs Rangers investigation call as Celtic hero pinpoints Neil Doncaster interview tipping pointThe outspoken pundit reckons there are enough unanswered questions that a full investigation must take place.Kris Commons has revealed he now backs Rangers ' call for an independent investigation into the SPFL due to the volume of "unanswered questions" surrounding eventsAn EGM vote will take place at 11am tomorrow where all 42 clubs will have their say on the conduct of the league body since the already infamous Good Friday disagreement.The pundit has admitted he has done a 180-degree turn since initially feeling the Ibrox club were motivated by self-interest.That change of heart has been provoked by the number of clubs coming forward in recent days to express serious concerns and his thoughts towards an interview conducted by Neil Doncaster on radio.And Commons feels Rangers' offer to pay for the probe has removed the key obstacle preventing it from happening.He wrote in the Daily Mail : "If I’m a club chairman tomorrow, there’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll be voting in favour of an independent investigation into the SPFL’s handling of the resolution to end leagues as they stood."I think there are now enough unanswered questions about the whole sorry episode. They are also being asked by enough different people."The fact Rangers are prepared to fund it removes one obstacle and also suggests they feel they will be vindicated. So there’s nothing to lose."When it all kicked off a few weeks back, I thought Rangers were only mouthing off because they didn’t get their way. I thought they should let it go."But the accusations have come thick and fast since. In the past week, we've heard Hearts, Partick Thistle, Inverness, Falkirk, Stranraer, Brora and Kelty all have their say."They all believe the way this affair has been handled hasn’t been so much mediocre as pathetic."The former Celtic and Hibs midfielder admits that hearing SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster 's radio interview on BBC Sportsound yesterday was the tipping point in his decision.He added: "I was already swaying towards a fresh inquiry before I heard Neil Doncaster on the radio yesterday and that made my mind up."One of the first things he said was that the SPFL had done everything 100-per-cent professionally. But with his next breath, he admitted they’d made mistakes. So which is it? What mistakes were made? How big were they? I’d like to know this and I’m sure I’m not alone.""For the game to move forward, there needs to be confidence in those running the game and, right now, we don’t have that."Throughout this, Doncaster has shown no leadership. From Scottish football’s perspective, zero positive has come out of this so far

It's almost word for word what he said on Sportsound earlier this afternoon.

Doncaster Q&A with Keith Jackson to be released tonight....

Quotes from Kenny Dalgliesh in today's Sunday Post "We’re almost two months into football’s lockdown and still we have no sense of direction from the SPFL.The governing body’s hierarchy has been unable – or even incapable – of preventing bitter in-fighting to take over the Scottish game, with no end to the rancour in sight.The biggest headlines have come from their war of words with Rangers.This is something that may well have been festering since 2012, the year the Ibrox club was put down the leagues and told to start again.That move really knocked Rangers for six, and it was four years before they made it back to the top flight. The club has kicked on since, and has made big strides on and off the park, with the appointment of Steven Gerrard as manager being the most significant move of all. But they still have a long way to go.""The 200-page Ibrox report may well have lacked something really explosive, but it raised matters that need to be addressed and looked at closely. For this to be passed, it requires 75 per cent of the SPFL clubs to vote in favour.It is down to them to cast their vote, based both on the Rangers dossier and their own personal experiences.That’s why I found it a bit strange that the SPFL should be so dismissive, so quickly, of the report. Was it really their place to do that before the votes had been cast?Overall, it has been extremely unpleasant. It is still a mess. Indeed, it is totally toxic."

Think they'll be picking up their collective jaws off the floor ?

We shouldn't forget Chick Dungs performance this afternoon - the classic ; "how can it be an independent investigation if Rangers are paying for it"......

Yeah, a brilliant statement, probably the best to be released thus far and may go down in history as the statement that ended the cabal. Key part in the reporting of bullying is the word "evidence". Wriggle out of this one Neil...

Liar, liar, pants on fire Neil?

Another interview where only one person allowed to ask questions - now Tom English ripping him to shreds.

It's just waffle, waffle and more waffle but has admitted mistakes were made

Doncaster coming up on Sunday Sportssound - should be interesting

Interesting conclusion to new Brora Rangers statement; Regardless of what emerges from the SPFL EGM next week, this extremely draining saga has plenty of legs left in it yet, and it’s important we all remain considered and positive. We have a compelling case to make, and I will continue to do so.

He could, but he won't unless Peter tells him to ?p

I listened to most of the show yesterday and worth listening to for 3 reasons; 1. Failed trialist getting schooled on law. 2. Maitland admitting he doesn't know what Doncaster does. 3. Kelty and Bora reps reaction to the SPFL pulling out of pyramid play-off and the "pressure" applied to them by SPFL.

Douglas Park - Rangers will pay for independent investigation..... and our fight will not end if we don't get sufficient support at the EGM Interesting read https://mobile.twitter.com/i/web/status/1259237570128613376

Please delete made a balls up ?

Wow, Lowland and Highland League representation on SSB just confirmed they have been receiving "pressure" from SPFL for at least 4 months. Brora chairman"You can feel the hand of interference" This is howling

Dundee UTD you say? Technically not a Premier League club yet? So in summary Dundee voted no and scuppered the resolution. Somehow their vote got lost. They were then contacted by SPFL (and others) and they changed their vote to approve the resolution (with promises). They effectively promoted their rivals as Champions, now those same rivals have just scuppered reconstruction. Penny for your thoughts Mr Nelms? I hope those loan players and big hitting friendlies (behind closed doors) don't go the same way......

Has Doncaster been caught lying again? Currently discussion on Sportsound saying bottom 6 clubs still have money outstanding. Didn't Doncaster sat last week all money's paid to bottom 6 clubs?

https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/board-update-on-reconstruction-and-relegation/ Eh, safe to say PTFC not happy with the cartel, Shifty and Doncaster.

Another great interview, keeping the pressure on.

Piling the pressure on with another factual and straight to the point statement. Following parts hit nail on the head ; "We have followed every law, rule, policy and article to the letter." "If I were a member of that board front and centre of my mind right now would be my fiduciary duty. That fiduciary duty would compel me to push hard for an independent investigation. Indeed I'd be crying out for one."

It's hard to keep up Ian ? In Michael Stewart's world regarding reconstruction and relegation Blame : a club that wanted to null and void the season meaning no relegation. Don't Blame : circa the other 80% of clubs who voted to call the season and relegate clubs.
