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.

    With the news of AT’s story being pulled or delayed. One wonders if the appearence of Charlotte Fakeover is purely coincidental or could it be, the story is being leaked in another way?

     

     

    HH!

    OG..,

     

    Notice your going on the offensive this evening and good for you but since yer pal Thompson appears to be pulling the story, something you have not yet confirmed, even though there are a few who have asked you. Why don’t you let your band of merry mhen in on the story, it’s no like you’ll be spoiling the scoop eh ?

     

    Now seriously time to sleep, if you do pluck up the courage to spill the beans I’ll no be seeing it till tomorrow, if I can even be bothered to scroll back. No doubt it will be such a big story that I’ll not need to because everyone will still be talking about it.

     

    The city of London police are investigating irregularities in the share issue, can’t see it being much bigger than that.

  4. Paul,

     

     

    Have you ever considered taking on any employees? Perhaps the poor Journo featured in your article could work part-time here reporting on issues of interest to the blog.

     

     

    Just thinkin’

     

     

    Hail Hail!

  5. As I said last night the story could be broken by any one of a number of bloggers – all have been waiting for AT to do it and maybe they were right to do so. There seems to be a game of bluff and double bluff and maybe triple bluff if you see what I mean. Maybe this story NOT breaking is not in the interests of those trying the double bluff?

     

     

    What it is is a new world record for keeping a lid on a Sevco story.

    If it has been pulled then I would think that might be a story in itself.

     

    You told me it was worthless before. Maybe you could tell us merry mhen what it was then yourself?

     

    Did you reread the tweet?

  8. Via twitter.

     

     

    I said last week that AT doesn’t do explosive stories, he tends to confirm what’s already out there with proof …

    One final beg before I have to go. Does anyone know the dates of the 6 Champions League qualifying games we need to play this summer?

     

     

     

    This website will tell you everyting you want to know about the champion leaque 13/14 including dates of all rounds including qualifiers. It also has a list of teams that celtic could face in the third round based on the fact that most leagues now know the teams that have qualified for europe.

    No the fat man in the red suit held power over children by telling them what they’d get if they were good. He is a fake. But he’ll be back again, promising wonderful things which are not his to deliver. But he’ll enjoy his power for a couple of weeks. I left out beer and pakora.

    I have to ask. Did you keep your aunt’s fiver or on principle hand it back?

     

    Don’t tell me you were complicit in this appalling tale?

     

     

    The old man in the suit doesn’t exist – you told me so – so how could he hold any power at all?

     

    Ah, the power was in you all the time (though not the beer and pakora)

    We were also knocked out of the Cup Winners Cup by MTK Budapest after winning the first leg 3-0. We lost 4-0 in Hungary and our planned trip to Brussels for the final (to play Sporting Lisbon) was left in tatters.

     

     

    Arguably one of the worst results in the club’s history.

    You speak of pakora and paradox.

     

    Are you the fat man in a red suit that doesn’t exist?

     

    And you took the fiver, didn’t you?

     

    Complicit in your own downfall but happy to pretend otherwise

  18. emusanorphan on

    O.g

     

     

    Yes I took the fiver. It would have been rude not to. I’m sure my old aunt enjoyed feeling important in front of everyone making promises which ultimately she could not deliver.

     

    There’s a lesson there for all of us I think.

     

    Good night O.G.

    I’d normally be the last person to say all rfc / sevco supporters are not all arseholes. But I did see this post below the first vid I posted at 00.04. Maybe this one is just a kid and hasnt been completely indoctrinated to the usual hatred yet.

     

     

     

    “Deco208 1 year ago. I’m a Rangers fan. N would like to take the time to remember n respect a fine footballer, manager but more importantly the pinnacle of a human being. Never met a Rangers fan fan that had a bad word to say about Tommy Burns. If anyone deserved to stop our 10 in a row bid it should have been him. No Wim Jansen. Fine tribute to THE GENTLEMAN in Scottish football”

     

     

     

    Fair play to this sevvy, although I thank the stars that Wim J was on hand when the time came.

    O.G. Rafferty, I’m sure a man a clever as you will already have decided how this pulled AT story will be leaked to the world.

     

     

    If its good enough for the sevco board and the sfa, its good enough for the rest of us.

     

     

    Get the story out.

    TET, no sweat bruv. I’ll get it booked. Been a bit busy keepiing the oil flowing n all that:-)

     

     

    Coming out 4th july leaving 14th and I’m planning on at least five rounds. Check out somewhere midway and we can get a warm up. It will do me good to get away from HDA for a day, mrs acgr will have me working like a peeg daug, so a day away would be nice.

     

     

    Email me you exact location and we can find a good sclafbaw track midway between.

    On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the story in respect to their problems.

     

     

    On the same scale, in respect to any individual’s problems.
