SPFL: Philanthropist's 拢2m to be split equally between 42 clubs
- Published
Philanthropist James Anderson's offer of about 拢2m to the SPFL would be split evenly between all 42 members, lower league clubs have been told.
The amount is significantly less than the reported 拢4.5m and comes with no strings attached.
That being so, it would mean each club would bank about 拢50,000 each.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster and chairman Murdoch MacLennan talked to Anderson on Monday over the cash, which would make "a significant difference".
Doncaster said he hopes to move forward with Anderson's proposal "as swiftly as possible".
The businessmen was introduced to the league by Hearts owner Ann Budge, but has his involvement is not dependent on league reconstruction.
The Edinburgh-based investor has previously made similar donations to the arts world.
