Yeah but Cormack can't "unsay" it, it's out there now! You are correct regarding English, said last weekend he smells a story here and he is (to his credit) going after it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,231 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Just a thought now that the lower leagues seemingly have been paid out and a task force set up to examine reconstruction should another task force not be set up to examine and correct the abnormality of the size of salary paid to Doncaster and any other at SPFL/SFA?. Doncaster's salary alone could have paid practically the WHOLE of SPFL2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the distinct feeling that Cormack realised instantly that he'd dropped himself right in the shit, Tom English was not for letting it go at all. The voting timeline could prove damning. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 6,781 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 From The DR The 4 Rangers demands to SPFL as Douglas Park steps up bid for independent inquiryThe Ibrox side aren't happy with the governing body and have added Murdoch MacLennan to their hitlist. SHARE (Image: SNS)Sign up to FREE email alerts from Daily Record - RangersSubscribeWe will use your email address to send you newsletters. Please see ourPrivacy Noticefor more information on how we use your data and your data protection rights.Rangers switched tactics in their bid for an independent inquiry into votergate – by adding Murdoch MacLennan to their SPFL hitlist.Chairman Douglas Park and the Ibrox club also aim to use the the league’s own rules against them – by turning whistleblower on the men they claim have brought the game into disrepute.MailSport can reveal exclusively details of an explosive letter sent by Park to league supremo MacLennan in the wake of last week’s vote to end the season.Having already called for the suspension of chief executive Neil Doncaster and legal advisor Rod McKenzie, Rangers now have deep reservations over MacLennan’s impartiality.In the strongly worded letter in response to the SPFL chairman demanding to see any evidence of wrongdoing, Park: says he WON’T provide evidence unless MacLennan, Doncaster and McKenzie aren’t involved. wants a copy of the league’s official whistleblower policy so the trio can’t have access to it. demands McLennan explains derogatory comments he made about Rangers in the past. accuses him of attempting to shut down the club’s concerns by denying them free speech. READ MORERangers FCRangers are adamant they have information which shows the process of the resolution vote to be flawed, as well as calling the governance and integrity of the SPFL into question.But they won’t hand it over while Doncaster and MacLennan are still at the helm of the organisation.138212091369MOST READ1 Celtic receive major title boost as Manchester United legend reveals shock UEFA climb down2 Kris Boyd makes Rangers 'egg on face' claim as he reveals the SPFL move he cannot understand3 Dave Cormack backs SPFL inquiry as Aberdeen chairman reveals late Neil Doncaster call on day of crucial voteIn his letter, designed to heap more pressure on the SPFL hierarchy, Park says: “An initial request to share the evidence we hold came from one of the individuals (McKenzie) we’re seeking to have independently investigated and it would therefore have been wholly inappropriate to provide it in those circumstances.“Rangers will readily share all of the information and evidence it has amassed with a properly constituted independent investigation.”Gers want to know who they can take evidence to, given the conflicts of interest surrounding the trio.Park also hit out at MacLennan, saying: “Can you provide Rangers with a copy of your organisation’s whistleblower’s policy, as an initial step towards establishing the framework for an investigation?”Park also wants answers from MacLennan on anti-Rangers comments he allegedly made when he took up his position in 2017.In the letter circulated to all 42 clubs, he said: “It has been widely reported that you have previously made your attitude towards Rangers Football Club known. There has been no explanation for, or denial of, these remarks.“It must be clear to you why, in the absence of an explanation of denial, Rangers can have no faith in your impartiality.”The only ways Rangers can get an independent inquiry is for it to be either granted by the SPFL board or if three clubs call for an EGM and it gets 75 per cent approval in a vote.Follow @Record_Sport 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) The SPFL are on the backfoot. Where we want them. We must make the most of this opportunity to get rid off their senior office bearers with yahoo sympathies. We are now in a situation where we have others who share our concerns about the SPFL. We must work with them to achieve our goal to eliminate some or all of Doncaster, McKenzie & McLennan. After this we can then turn our attention to the SFA....
