A week for leaks

1020

This seems to be a week for leaks.  I hear one club recently refunded two investors to the tune of £500k each.  Don’t worry, it wasn’t Celtic, and I hear the club involved are one of the most financially secure in Britain.  I also hear the national broadcaster rejected a former presenter’s request to return to the fold.

Still nothing from the SFA, who were responsible for issuing associate membership to Newco Rangers, on the leak from the club’s board meeting that the Association expressed alarm that earlier information had leaked from chairman, Malcolm Murray.  Mr Murray recently instigated an investigation into the relationship between Craig Whyte and Charles Green, the nature of which could invalidate Newco’s associate membership.

Far from being alarmed at leaks, the SFA should be keen to see full disclosure.  Reports suggesting otherwise are alarming.  I am sure the SFA president has already demanded openness and clarity…….  Relax, standards of corporate governance at the SFA are as high as ever.

I am also sure the leak from Newco was not a shot across the SFA’s bows, providing a glimpse into what looks like some murky conversations which people at the Association could have much to lose from being exposed.

    PF Ayr Yes replaced Bruce, and there is Shaun with a trademark kick.

    Funny, I was thinking something along those very lines

     

    Isn’t it reassuring that the sevco board seem to be of the same mindset of the now deceased old club board ,The bears must be kept in the dark at all cost .

     

    more jelly and ice cream this year methinks

     

    hail hail

  3. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    Miki67,

     

    Good to see you, was going to ask how your doing

  4. It annoys me when Celtic fans refer to ex Celtic players as soup takers.

     

     

    I find it even more frustrating when they comment that ex Oldco players show loyalty to their old club.

     

     

    Then I get perplexed when some Celtic fans then slag off said ex Oldco players as being totally biased, and in some cases harmful to the zombies by not exposing the truth.

     

     

    I see it differently.

     

     

    Our ex players are honest , intelligent and try to provide fair and honest comment.

     

     

    So coming from that stance , it pains me to hear Andy Walkers comments with regards to Wrights assault on Lustig.

     

     

    WTF is he all about.

     

     

    It is without doubt the most cringeworthy comment I can recall from any pundit.

     

     

    Never mind a player who played at the top level of Scottish and English football.

     

     

    Andy ,if you read this.

     

     

    You really need to take a look at yourself,and correct your original assessment.

     

     

    Because it is disgraceful.

     

     

    TT

  5. miki67,

     

    was thinking the other day that I hadn’t seen you on lately,hope you are doing well

  6. carpetcrawler on

    Get wee shaun back when Wigan go down. And get Martin back when Neil goes to Everton.

     

    Can stop dyeing my hair then !!

  7. No you never and you gave away 10000 tickets to school kids for your last home game. Fat Sally and his squad plans going to get blootered this week with no increase in income.

     

     

    Craig Mather, Rangers interim Chief

     

    Executive told The Rangers Site :

     

    “The Board is delighted to confirm

     

    season ticket prices for next season

     

    will be frozen.

     

    “More than 38,000 fans bought

     

    season tickets in 2012/13 and in

     

    recognition of their tremendous

     

    support and loyalty we have taken

     

    the decision to keep prices for the

     

    forthcoming campaign as low as

     

    possible.

     

    “We all enjoyed our recent title

     

    celebrations at Ibrox and the fact the

     

    Berwick Rangers game was a

     

    complete sell out was again

     

    testament to the loyalty, commitment

     

    and passion the supporters continue

     

    to show this great club.

    Gullable Gullible Sevco

     

    Who’d have thunked it.

     

     

    They will only need one window open at their season ticket portakabin.

     

     

    Gullible’s Travels

     

     

    A lumbering bigoted giant smashes his way through rule books, small investors and the public purse. Only to be undone by an invisible Internet bampots who let him bring himself down…would tell the kids that fairy story but they would never belief, would they?

  9. Hardly been on the site for days. Absolutely slaughtered by radiotherapy, but you’ve just gotta share seldom felt joy when one of yer own scores a goal like Shaun’s to rock The Gooners back on their heels.

     

    Makes my day, things like that.

     

    HH!

  10. praecepta

     

     

    I agree, the reduction in season ticket prices was more to do with killing off Sevco than rewarding Celtic fans.

     

     

    Not that I am complaining one bit, get it right roon the zombies.i

  11. unionbearBhind on

    please don’t call me union rather bearBhind if you don’t mind!!

  12. The fact that they are holding Season Ticket prices at last years level does indicate that their coffers are overflowing. I have it from an excellent source that work on the retractable roof commences tomorrow, plans are also afoot for a 7 star Hotel which will be surrounded by a floating Casino. Due to cash flow problems work on the Hotel & casino will be delayed until the 500 million fans snap up their Season Books but it is on schedule for completion before the start of next season.

  13. fergus slayed the blues on

    That was a textbook goal from wee Shaun ,straight out of the treatment room .

     

    I’ll no bother getting ma coat I didnae bring wan wi me

    tommytwiststommyturns

     

     

    I think the Everton job really is wide open.

     

     

    I think they will follow the same criteria they used to get Moyes.

     

     

    Youngish manager who has cut his teeth for a few years in the Championship.

     

     

    Billy Davis anyone?

    I retract my previous statement, not.

  16. Miki 67

     

     

    Good to hear from you.

     

     

    Keep fighting the good fight bud.

     

     

    Hail Hail

     

     

    Ps Wee Maloney is on some run.

     

    Amazing what he can do when he aint got the SPL Rottweilers snapping at him!

  17. Well said TT

     

     

    Walker is a huge disappointment to himself and his family.

  18. I’ve just watched the highlights from Saturday on Sky. As well as F Wright & Co there are another 2 facing them with their hands behind their backs too. That’s half the team – and clearly premeditated!

     

     

    What a shower!

  19. If a manager is in control of his team for a full season , and that team are then relegated.

     

     

    Then I cannot understand how he can be regarded as a success.

     

     

    Yes Wigan’s name is on the FA cup.

     

     

    But I can be you the clubs financiers would give that cup back if it meant EPL survival.

  20. fergus slayed the blues on

    looks to me like sevco have frozen the STs just before the courts freeze their assets .

     

    what ye like sevco always have to be first

  21. Said to my dad at weekend that if Huns increase went ahead they would paying near enough the same as us to watch Division 2 football.

  22. TT

     

    Walker,Proven ,Burley et al are all blatantly anti CFC

     

     

    BFDJ,Hately,DL are all blatantly pro Hun

     

     

    The failure of Hun media to expose sevco for what they are is extremely injurious to the club ( such as it exists )

     

     

    I believe the above to be accurate

     

     

    You might not like the terminology but I consider the facts to exist to support the assertions

  23. ASonOfDan

     

     

    I can’t wait for the next ‘cunning’ Baldrick Plan.

     

     

    Free pies? :-)
