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.

    Yep, same price as last season….as a reward…….LOLA

  2. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    SSB pundits didn’t NOTICE the 3 players not clapping …. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  3. The stupid Huns are clapping each other’s backs claiming no Season Ticket price rise proves conclusively that Sevco are not in financial difficulty and can afford to “reward” their fans. How stupid is a stupid Hun.

    FF responds to Express article saying Sevco losing £1m per month:

     

     

    “Re: Rangers losing £1M per Month – Scott Burns (Express)

     

    Monthly the club will ALWAYS lose money (bar the season ticket month ) basically no matter what, its the yearly figures that are important.” [That’ll be okay then.]

     

    ——————

     

    ” ‘The days of the likes of Emilson Cribari, Ian Black and Dean Shiels arriving on big money are over.’

     

    Possibly the most depressing sentence of all time.”

  5. Monaghan1900 –

     

     

    it didn’t make me feel depressed I can assure you ;-)

    No, indeed, Jobo. Rather heartwarming I thought.

  9. nobody should be forced to clap if they dont want to.

     

     

    who were the players in question? No 5 Fraser Wright (hope he’s a relation to the deceased Billy Wright R.I.H. ) was one.

  10. Why would you buy a season ticket when tickets are given away free of charge?

     

    Then again why would you be an orc.?

  11. Like that advert on Clyde for Celtic season tickets.

  12. Foxy_1888

     

     

    SSB caller questioned where his loyalties lay (not clapping) – Dee-L outed him. Said: yes Wright would walk all the way to Ipox.

  13. Foxy

     

    Put that back to board and ask when they last paid to attend a match.

    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,,,?

     

     

     

    ………………………………………….

     

     

    How could this happen when Whyte, via Worthington PLC, is claiming ownership of the assets? Or would someone buy it from Green n Co swiftly if they thought they could give Whyte a few million to make him walk away?

     

     

    It’s an interesting theory though…

     

     

    I say just revoke the licence anyway!!

    Two very good questions. I’ve tried my best to answer below…

     

     

     

    1. Why would you buy a season ticket when tickets are given away free of charge?

     

    A – Because you’re a moron.

     

     

    2. Then again why would you be an orc.?

     

    A – See answer to (1) above.

  16. Che

     

    Just make sure he doesn’t hold the door open for you if you are holding the soup he bought you..

  17. Had to laugh at Jimmy the Hurting Hun on SSB.

     

     

    The kind of guy that makes the argument for decent Rangers supporters nigh impossible.

     

     

    If only a decent Rangers supporter would phone in and distance himself.

  18. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    HAHAHA did anyone else catch the Bluenose on Clyde ? Full, unabashed bile from a tortured soul.

    On This Day: In 1960 Celtic wear numbers on their shorts for the first time as they defeat Sparta Rotterdam 5-1 in a friendly at Parkhead.

     

     

    Keep the Faith!

    You will not be surprised to learn I was at that game. Think we won by a distance but no doubt a right auld heid or google geek will inform.

    Was it beyond the wit of the SSB panel to ask the sad caller WHY the 3 bigots could not applaud the Champions on to the park ?

     

     

    They should have made him SAY IT.
