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.

Great tweet from Jim Spence. Just savour this for a moment:
Jim Spence @bbcjimspence 41s
Paul Hegarty on @bbcsportsound shortly on Utd winning the league 30 years ago. Can that ever be done again by any team outside of Celtic.

You are not suggesting Newco have threatened the SFA that they will blow the whistle on their joint collusion?
Criminal.
==========================
Under normal circumstances I would have said that this alone would ensure that this went no further. But we are not doing ‘normal’ at present. There is the Craig Whyte factor, the disgruntled current and former board members factor, there is the distinct likelihood of another insolvency event factor, there is the police involvement in the ‘buyout’ factor, there is the ongoing dispute about who owns what factor, there is the BDO factor, the Tax Tribunal that hasn’t gone away you know and may yet implicate certain SFA people factor…….
So many variables in all of this it is hard to know what will happen. The pull to revert to ‘protect Rangers (sic)’ at whatever cost position may not be as strong as the pull to preserve ones liberty, ability to live in Scotland without being hounded for being part of Rangers and now Sevco’s downfall.
Then of course there are those pesky English guys who are now running the show and keeping the Charles Green (who is also not really going away you know and seems to be running them by proxy) agenda well and truly on track – the old loyalties will not be strong at all in them.
What an unholy mess.

How’s the recuperation coming on?
Better get your act together or coisty won’t be offering you a contract for next year.

Thanks for that,staying at the Marriott I think the tram stops right outside so that could work well for us. Looks like the civil rights museum is a must.

For the sake of the Scottish game I hope so. I would willingly sacrifice 10-in-a-row for a genuine alternative force to emerge in the Scottish game. This does two things – it keeps Celtic on their toes and it confines the remnants of the Kinning Park Klan to irrelevance.
Actually – a third thing – it gets bums back on seats and gives us more meaningful games in the league.
Hibs, DUFC or the Dons…….. I hope they all raise their game, get their systems in place and give us a run for our money.

my injury would not prevent me playing for the orcs…
my conscience however, that’s a different thing….that plus my family and friends…
Robert Tressell,
I agree with you mate. I thought the tweet was significant though in-so-far as a mainstream journalist didn’t feel compelled to add the name of THEM to the question. I realise Jim Spence is one of the good guys but you don’t often hear it said straight out anyway.
I dont know if its still the case but Fraser Wright lived in Larkhall when he played with Killie.
Coincidence ?.
BT-Are you a hun ? :)
Regarding the SFA ‘concerns’ cited in the sevco board minutes. I don’t think we can discount the possibility that they are baseless, that the SFA made no such comments at all.
We can assume this is CG’s agenda still being played out in the sevco boardroom. Given his propensity to manufacture quotes from other organisations when the situation suits him (man utd, dallas cowboys etc) I wouldn’t be surprised if the same has happened here. Even if he’s no longer on the board, I’m sure he has enough willing lieutenants still in post.
Bada
You nailed it there mate.
BT youve been rumbled.
BT – I forgot to ask how you got that injury.
Is it the result of Doc tackling you from behind?
believe or not in my younger days…. 0))))
steinruledsupreme
as you know if it was doc I would have a broken nose to go with the broken leg….
Jim Spence trying to back track, saying he had ran out of characters and would have added Rangers. 136 characters used, I pointed that out to him and the Hun who pulled him up on it.
Steinreignedsupreme, you dived!;-)
Apologies mate, accidental, I think, drink had been taken!
I’d never be able to catch BT!
I’m just not going to live this down am I?
Doc
He could have used OF -just shows you what a bit of hun intimidation will do
blantyretim 18:32 on 14 May, 2013
Well, he’s not Fraser Wright’s personal fitness coach for nothing…
I predict that something big, or maybe not so big, may or may not happen sometime in the near, or not so near, future…….
Good evening friends. That’s the rain off and the skies cleared. Quick, sun chairs out…

“Steinreignedsupreme, you dived!;-)”
To be fair I played for it…
BT bleeds green, the leg break & re-set must have been pretty horrible. I broke my leg a few years back and must say apart from initial pain at the moment and for a few hours after, it was just general soreness. Once I had the Op. and had plates etc. inserted, I can honestly say I felt no pain at all. I was given prescriptions etc for pain killers just in case but I never had to use them. The 6 weeks in plaster was a bloody nuisance o.k. and then a few weeks of physio to get everything back to normal but apart from that I had no problem at all.
How funny, but not unpredictable, that SSB would have walturd in list of 4 managers ” who are retiring THIS YEAR”……… Hahahahahahahahaha….they just can’t hide IT……
…..AND TRYING TO JUSTIFY McSMALL AS MANAGER OF THE YEAR……GOD HELP US ……BLESS THEM ALL….!!!!!!!! ……..

Cheers,will look out for it

I think you could be getting a wee letter from the SFA just like Fraser Wright…:)
Keep the Faith!

Guy on Snyde “the ST prices for Sevco should be lower cos they’re crap”
Have only read back 1 page. Have “The Rangers” finally put season books on sale then?

Fully agree…… The greengoites might be trying to force the SFA to withdraw the license, to fit in with their financial strategy of selling the assets, before sevco is also liquidated,,,?
