The SPFL chief executive made a rare appearance on BBC Sportsound and covered a range of issues that will interest supporters.
Neil Doncaster has revealed the SPFL are on the verge of securing a new sponsorship deal that will be the most lucrative ever - and insists lessons have been learned over the Rangers row that erupted after the cinch partnership.
The row was one of a number of controversies during Doncaster’s time at the helm and he made a rare appearance after 15 years in the job as he spoke to BBC Sportsound as he issued a sponsorship update and revealed they have invited offers for a 20-game package over and above Sky’s 60-game deal which kicks in next season. Here are some of the key points from his wide-ranging Q&A.
Why is the cinch deal ending two years early? When we did the deal in 2021, cinch had the ability to come out after three years. Normally you expect a sponsorship to be a three-year term. They agreed a five-year term but the car market has changed enormously and they have exercised the right to exit.
