Keef Jackass aka SPFL Spokesmen reporting crisis talks over Cinch deal

[Supersonic2.0]

Pretty hilarious that other teams are now kicking off about the new cinch deal as it means that we might not need to give up future sleeve sponsorships. Wonder when the penny will drop with Keith that his masters got their arses handed to them on this debacle

—

Anxious top-flight clubs fear the simmering feud between Rangers and the SPFL could be about to go ‘nuclear’ as they brace themselves for urgent crisis talks.

Record Sport understands fears are growing that the long running dispute is set to escalate with the potential for huge financial ramifications - despite last week’s announcement that the Ibrox club can continue to pocket cash from a sponsorship deal with cinch while refusing to promote the car dealer’s branding. Rangers immediately called for a meeting of all 12 Premiershipclubs and a showdown with league chief executive Neil Doncaster.

No date has yet been agreed for those emergency talks but while rival clubs are hoping that some sort of peace deal can be brokered between the two parties as quickly as possible, they fear the relationship has deteriorated further over the course of the last few days. In fact, they have all been copied in on an ongoing email exchange between Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson and SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan in which the parameters of the discussion are still being thrashed out.

Rangers are demanding the SPFL disclose what they describe as the ‘full facts’ behind the bitter cinch dispute which has been raging since the start of last season, when the five year sponsorship package was first secured.

The Ibrox club have successfully argued that agreeing to take part in promoting the online firm will breach the terms of an already existing partnership with chairman Douglas Park’s own car company Park’s of Hamilton.

Their refusal to take any part in promoting the cinch brand led to fears that the entire £8m deal could collapse.

But the agreement will stay in place for the next four years after Doncaster negotiated a ‘revised’ deal which does not require any future Rangers participation.

That new agreement was signed off by the other clubs last week but it has now sparked concern Rangers may also be exempt from promoting any other commercial deals secured by SPFL bosses.

Record Sport understands - with the value of those tie-ins potentially at risk - both Hearts and Aberdeen have asked for urgent clarification on the matter.

— what a shambles of a website

 

[rez1872]

So he’s picked up on the Athletic’s piece and passing off as his own.

 

[vinnie]

they fear the relationship has deteriorated

Only now? Ffs keech, do keep up ya tit.

Rangers could keep away from this now, but the SPFL and Doncaster need called out on under selling the product!

And if it means other sponsor deals dont include us, they’ll be worth even less. Aaaahahahaha

 

[Supersonic2.0]

Fucking hilarious that Keith has put himself into such a corner his only ally is the SPFL and they feed him lines. That’s fine when they are winning the battles, but not when they are getting their arses handed to them and making an absolute lady's front bottom of it.

Rangers have done a great job on highlighting their shortcomings and to be honest what we are seeing is the absolute best outcome possible for Rangers and it really could be a cluster %^*& for Buzz cut and Grandpa baws

 

[AC_55]

Keith Jackson has a face like a lasagne, not much else to say.

Was there not a bit too that said that some feared Rangers would go it alone. Think they were worried their funds would diminish without the bears. In other words they know what we bring to the table, but only grumble about it when we aren't putting anything on their empty plates.

 

[Tim Hunter]

I'm getting the feeling that the myriad of sponsors Bisgrove has been racking up have all been made as "exclusive" deals, so that the SPFL would be hard pushed to find a sponsor market that Rangers could participate in.
Which would be absolutely fűcking luvely.

 

[Pirlo]

When I was a wean I found critters to be a terrifying film, but I honestly find Keith Jackson’s craters far more gory now days.

And at the end of the day we won, Park was victorious, so we’ve got feck all to worry about here.

 

[Big D]

There won't be 'huge financial ramifications' because that would suggest there is huge finance at stake, when in fact it's a sponsorship deal about as valuable as a fish supper.

 

[Numans_Left_Peg]

Keith Jackson has a face like a lasagne, not much else to say.

That was on fire and extinguished with a golf shoe.

 

[JD1872]

The other teams should be raging at the incompetency. Not only can we now gain an advantage by getting our own sponsorship at a much better price they have also ruined any chance to secure further sponsorship because Rangers are not included in any upcoming deals.

In any other league doncaster would be getting sacked on the spot

 

[Loyal72]

Keith Jackson's career has dived so much that he now only operates as a mouthpiece for the SPFL.

Anyways, what does this actually mean in layman's terms? I get Murdoch is being his usual twatty self, but what are Aberdeen and Hearts actually piping up about?

So as much as they despise us, hertz and the sheep at least realise that negotiating future spfl deals with Rangers excluded is a bum deal?
Lol

I do remember us being told we weren’t needed, we weren’t wanted, the game
didn’t / doesn’t miss us.

 

[104Bear]

I’d wager that his nickname is Trigger amongst his fellow journalists.

 

[Novichok]

The clubs outwith the top half of the top flight can't survive a potential 50% cut in future sponsorship agreements.

If true, we have significant leverage and we should be calling a vote of no confidence in Mclennan, Doncaster, fat Rod and then getting the three clowns at the SFA.

 

[SecondBestIsNothing]

That article is the journalistic equivalent of quoting a funny tweet with emojis, so you can nick their RT’s & Likes.

 

[The Predator]

Hi Keith. If you're looking in you have a face like a well skelped arse and suck timmy cock.

Get it up ye

 

[TQ3]

I do remember us being told we weren’t needed, we weren’t wanted, the game
didn’t / doesn’t miss us.

Aye that was just before they merged the SPL with the SFL, otherwise they weren’t getting a deal with sky, as Rangers wouldn’t be included!

 

[RWL12]

I'm sure David Edgar said the first journalist to mention this or dog whistle would be Jackson at the DR.

Hopefully the lottery numbers are predicted on Daily Updates from now on.

 

[The People]

I do remember us being told we weren’t needed, we weren’t wanted, the game
didn’t / doesn’t miss us.

Yeah
It was going to be sell out Saturday's without us

That worked out well

 

[FriendsDontLie]

They had their chance last year to rid these corrupt bastards but shat it through corruption and lies.

%^*& them

 

[BroomloanWATP]

It is only a matter of time before Tav is lifting the Park's of Hamilton SPFL Premiership trophy above his head

 

[Xtal]

Other clubs are only interested in case they lose money, the running of the game they don’t give two fucks about.

Every year playing the role of useful idiot, never progressing our game.

 

[RabSpackman]

If only someone would offer to fund a review of the SFPL and their sleekit operating practices.

I’m sure most clubs would support that - especially those who have bleated on about being on the wrong end of “The Establishment” for decades.

We may well be exempt from promoting any other commercial deals secured by SPFL bosses, so are the other 41 clubs, if the SPFL can’t follow rules.

Talk about stirring up ***t.

Me thinks someone’s been told to play the Rangers are bad boys record again.

 

[Bluenose88]

So he’s picked up on the Athletic’s piece and passing off as his own.

Naturally. Nobody speaks to him, do they?

 

[tottie beck]

No date has yet been agreed for those emergency talks

Only in Scotland.

 

[vicbex]

Every year playing the role of useful idiot, never progressing our game.

Unfortunately the only objective they have to aim for is survival.

Id like to see Rangers take the lead and work with the others to find a way to increase income and distribute it more evenly so that our league can become more competitive.

I know the others shafted us but unless we do something to save the game in Scotland there wont be anything worth watching. Its already pretty dire domestically.

 

[True Blue Avenger]

I wonder if a young, fresh faced Jackson (or at least less crater facey) started out with grand ambition to become a sportswriter par excellence. Honest, unbias, enthusiastic and capable of asking the hard-hitting questions when needed to try.and report accurately on the quagmire that is Scottish football.

And if he did, at what point did he decide to jack all that in and become the laziest pen for hire imaginable, incapable of anything remotely resembling proper journalism and simply churning out party lines for whoever his puppet master is at any given point?

In this case, if he could somehow drop his ongoing anti Rangers / Pro spfl agenda for just one article, it would be remarkably easy and obvious to figure out what's happened and where the unequivocal blame for the situation lies.

The whole cinch deal, from inception to date, has been an absolute omnishambles by those entrusted to run the governance side of our game.

Paltry fee to start with; outsourced middle men pocketing hefty wads for bringing what is effectively scraps to the table; signing the deal despite a valid objection from a member club; lengthy and expensive legal battles that followed due to their refusal to ackowlege this objection; subsequent defeat, climb down and compromise which somehow makes the deal even worse and exposes clubs to higher risk of reduced income from other sponsors...the list goes on. All presided over by Keith's friends and paymasters at the good old SPFL. Meanwhile, Rangers - the perennial bad guys according to the Scottish media playbook - have done nothing wrong in the slightest and for once, they're actually struggling to pin this one on us.

In the unlikeky event that other clubs grow a pair and we get the root and branch change in Scottish football governsnce that we so badly need, i hope Jackson gets absolutely hee haw from the new set up and is completely outcast along with his pals Doncaster and MacLennan. That would be a lovely and fitting end to his career.

I was wondering if, after todays windfall, the sheep, of all people, might feel a surge of bravery.

Sorry Murdoch we can't promote John West as we’ve already got a tie up with Princes Tuna. Better luck next time.

To be fair is an £80 one of them kicking about now so………

But seriously deals spfl negotiate are pathetic

 

[Bordersbear]

The wording that we are “pocketing” cash inferring we are stealing from other clubs when in fact the SPFL ballsed up the contract.

 

[RickDagless]

Is t it insane how this is being framed?

A cock up of extraordinary proportions from Doncaster and co is once again being spun as Big Bad Rangers ruining it for everyone.

Hopefully one or two of the other clubs will finally wake up.

 

[A1bertz]

Does Scottish football need to do what just happened in golf? Go find the funds via a rich company and then set up a new breakaway league?

Not sure how else we manage to get rid of the years of accumulated toxic waste that now contaminates our game.

 

[Partickger]

I hate that Celtic fluffing piece of shit.

Before we went into administration journos were taken to a meeting at Hampden and told that they ‘tow the party line or they’ll be left out in the cold’. I’m sure it was Tom English who tweeted it. Of course at that time nobody knew what we know now but it seemed odd and out of place. The problem is Ive looked and haven't found any reference to it to back up my memory.

 

[Mac72]

Until a club that isn't us, try to force change. Nothing will happen.

No club will side with us, as their backwater fans will lose their nut at joining forces with us.

At this point we'd be better using reverse psychology and thanking Doncaster and the SPFL. As soon we did that his arse wouldn't even hit the pavement.

 

[Bearskin]

Not sure how else we manage to get rid of the years of accumulated toxic waste that now contaminates our game.

That's what the SPFL started out as wasn't it? A breakaway of the top clubs with their own deal. If I'm remembering right?
They only reason the Lower league clubs all merge into it was when we were relegated and they wanted to feed off the revenue they were missing so they were admitted under the SPFL banner as well.

 

[TerryMunro]

“we will not be found wanting”

I think I now understand what they were going on about. The chasm this will create should get rid of the 19th Century Terrorist cabal.

And that'll be the club and the puppet master who run the people running the SPFL.

 

[hms]

We can always rely on Freddie Jacko Krueger coming out to back his paymaster Doncaster. I notice the bheast is very quiet on this subject.

The Emperors new clothes game has been on the go for a long time, it is time for the truth to be bared and seen by all for what it is.

 

[Baxter42]

Scottish football is the laughing stock of Europe with the clowns we have running it total shambles

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

We can always rely on Freddie Jacko Krueger coming out to back his paymaster Doncaster. I notice the bheast is very quiet on this subject.

The bheast doesn't need to come out officially to spew forth its opinion when it has weasels like Maxwell and Jackson as their mouthpiece at the drop of a hat.

 

[two2tango]

I do remember us being told we weren’t needed, we weren’t wanted, the game
didn’t / doesn’t miss us.

Remember that too

Best team in Europe from
Scotland ever in terms of continual achievement

 

[The Ranger]

Keech Jackson can't bring myself to read anything he writes

 

[kenikinif]

Maybe if he had a little investigation into the half million finders fee and who the true recipients are
Between that and the repayment to Sky so he could award his favourites a title Doncaster has been responsible for approx £2 million being lost to Scottish football within 2 years
Football coaches up and down the country probably strike better deals with the local builder for kids football teams than this filth plant

 

[remembertheepoch]

Clubs arent happy even though they signed it off? What a bizarre world Scottish football is
