A public apology weakens him, making him a man at the top, but a man with no power.
Better with an enemy you know and have weakened than yet another placement.
It certainly seems so!Whatever Lawwell's plan was, he's certainly lost control of this one.
While Regan's performance has been "erratic" to say the least over the years, he appears determined not to be Lawwell's fall guy in this situation. He has categorically ruled out another enquiry. He may now be Lawwell's enemy, but if he turns out to be as stubborn as he is thick skinned, it won't do us any harm to have him there for another few years maintaining his current stance.
In terms of Doncaster, he is fatally damaged by this one. He's misread the mood whilst trying to please the person he craves validation from the most. If he survives this, he'll be well aware that he is now being watched like a hawk to ensure that he remains professional and appropriate in matters relating to us. If he goes, I'd imagine the SPFL board would be keen to ensure a replacement cannot be seen to have been influenced by Lawwell given his clear vested interests and "form" in trying to harm us. There are no guarantees obviously, but Stewart Robertson having a say this time round would be huge for us.
Like a fiddle.Rangers look to be playing this well.
Can he engineer it without being on the board? Is it not the board that vote a newbie on?Agreed. But if he is no longer of any use to Liewell he will try to engineer a replacement. Then we will see the metal of the other clubs.
I wonder if anyone will ask Stewart Robertson what individuals the letter is talking about, and i hope he would name names if asked.
We absolutely should be looking for Doncaster's head, the message has to be that if you look to hurt us we will hurt you.
Who thinks Làwwell might find a reason to miss the game next Saturday..?

Well said that hurts him and the mhankey hoarders more than anything.The best way to make Liewell feel uncomfortable is for the Rangers team on the pitch to beat the scum
We should be writing a letter demanding Doncaster's immediate dismissal & direct involvement, along with the rest of the SPFL Board, in finding and appointing his successor.
We should also be demanding that Lawwell stands down from all his Scottish Football positions, including, UEFA, as it is obvious that he cannot act impartially, in any shape or form whatsoever, towards Rangers

Am I the only one that would keep Doncaster in place now, rather than replace him with a liewell lackie with no baggage? He can't be seen to be sucking the liewell Boaby now and indeed could be a useful idiot for us going forward, especially as it looks like liewell is ready to throw him under a bus.
He could be more use still in place though.Doncaster should be forced to resign. His position is now untenable
They should force dungcaster to cancel the review and demand his resignationRangers should be very vocal at next weeks meeting, and force Doncaster to make a public apology.

Its a letter mate and nothing more.we don,t even know what consequences the letter will have for doncaster apart from telling off it may be nothing.So all the people on here claiming we were not doing anything about it were wrong again!
What a load of crap,Stuart Robertson is nobody`s fool and doesn`t suffer fools gladly. he works his butt off for the good of the club. to suggest he sits on his backside and does nothing is utter garbage.Time for Stewart Robertson to step up when they replace this buffoon, he better not do his usual sitting doing nothing and grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

RANGERS sent a furious letter to SFA chief Stewart Regan over attempts to hold a judicial review into the Ibrox club’s use of EBTs.
Gers chiefs were left “angry and upset” that SPFL supremo Neil Doncaster penned a letter to Regan calling for a judicial review which focused on how Gers’ financial demise was handled.

Doncaster has come under pressure in recent times
SunSport Online understands it was agreed by the SPFL board that the focus of any investigation into how Scottish football dealt with clubs’ financial difficulties should not be concentrated on Rangers.
But while the content of Doncaster’s letter sent last month didn’t focus on Rangers, the subject heading read: ‘Independent review of use of tax avoidance schemes at Rangers FC and actions of Scottish football authorities’.
It is believed that Doncaster will be forced to answer serious questions about why Rangers became the focus at a meeting next Thursday morning with some members of the board unhappy that their views were misrepresented.
Doncaster’s correspondence also prompted Gers bosses to send their own letter to Regan making it clear they were “angry and upset” that Doncaster had made their club the focus of attention.
In the letter – which was also sent to Doncaster – Rangers went on to ask Regan why “certain individuals” appear to have so much influence over Scottish football and questioned the governance of the game.
News of the Rangers letter comes eight days after we told how Hoops chief Peter Lawwell wrote to Regan in 2012 calling for a judicial review into the circumstances surrounding the Ibrox club’s financial woes.

Rangers were left ‘angry and upset’
In that correspondence – sent shortly before Gers’ liquidation – Lawwell asked that “retrospective sanctions” be considered if wrongdoing was established.
Lawwell then wrote to Regan earlier this month to claim it was “disturbing” that he had snubbed calls for a judicial review.
But four days ago Regan hit back by claiming Celtic are the ONLY club out of the SFA’s 108 members who want a review
SunSport Online has asked the SPFL for comment.
2 cheeks of same a*se ?Liewell & Doncaster two different names however the same person underneath.
Long overdue.Good to hear and hopefully the start of the board fighting back and not taking any pish from the authorities or the bheasts
Personally, I'd rather we didn't push for resignations.
I'd like us to be above the behaviour that cost people like Farry and McDonald their jobs.
A front page apology, properly worded and with those wronged named, and with a warning that he's being watched would be my preferred choice.
Really?
I'd much rather go for the jugular.
It's about time we drew blood.
