Did Dave King honestly say there would be a “forensic investigation” before newco, under his control, would repay Mike Ashley’s £10m loan? This, before the second tranche of the loan, which the club will need to meet payroll, is paid, and while Ashley could acquire an array of property and IP assets by simply not transferring the money when expected.
Unnecessarily provoking the source of short-term finance your club is dependent on is a bizarre tactic.
If it is indeed “the end” for the current newco board, as King promises, said board have a matter of weeks to secure whatever assets they can for those who have previously invested in the club and provided loans.
The crux of King’s comments are reported as:
“Would we pay [Ashley] immediately, I don’t think so no. We would complete a forensic investigation.
“If David Somers’ indication is correct that there has been some malfeasance then it is possible that the club would have a claim then I would attach the money and make a claim.
“If any individuals behaved improperly then it is important that they are held accountable.”
There’s a scene in Pulp Fiction when an unfortunate predator, “Z”, is informed that some African Americans are about to “Get medieval on his ass”. We don’t get to see what this means but stay tuned, between now and the EGM, Mike Ashley might just provide a demonstration of what Tarantino had in mind.
Remember, Ashley is not at Ibrox because he fancies being the next David Murray. He is not interested in the godforsaken world of having to run a football club in Glasgow, he’s happy to allow others to carry this burden.
He may well allow King to ‘win’ the EGM, but the spoils of victory will be very much on his terms. Trying hard not to imagine Paul Murray in a leather mask now.
Today is World Cancer Day. This disease has taken too many from the blog already, not to mention millions across the globe. There is a lot of good news, though. Progress is being made, but many in the developing world need access to simple preventative treatments, methodologies and information.
The preventative message still needs to get through to a great many in the developing world, before it’s too late. Here’s a video outlining where the battle is at the moment:

What a strike by Liverpool……..hit the post…….luck of the Irish there Neil….hehe

It took a deflection
You sleeping again. ? 8)

Haha. The Rock fae the Rock will find Gordy! :)
Who decided hun was sectarian and what definition did they use to justify it? I can understand how it could offend, but I need educated on how the phrase is sectarian.
Next they will be trying to say Zombie is sectarian.
What an exciting game …. Bolton playing really well, as are Liverpool
Lenny had to put up with players being sold from under him while trying to compete in Europe.
It was ridiculous, but hopefully RD is going to get a bit better respect from the boardroom.
Re identity of bottle thrower…
No one knows for sure until
He is identified.
However looking at the context.
A minibus full of sevco fans during a Celtic / Sevco game have a bottle thrown inside their bus by a man wearing white and green would lead most people to believe there is a strong possibility it was a Celtic fan?
BT
Easy to do … whenever I think of ‘dreamteam’ my mind turns, of course, to Super Ally, Durrant, and KMcD … the stuff dreams are made of!
Jimmynotpaul…do you find tarrier or taig offensive…just asking..
Bada bing
Rather have a Big Vic plus some change

Magician Dynamo. Brilliant mate. Your charity slide is due a boost from West Dunbartonshire. Thanks again. :)

I speculated on that in my original post.
“Banter” between driver and others on the minibus and some fans escalates. Some fans pound on the bus, driver gets out and square goes them, they step back and he growls and gets back in. As he does so someone tries to biff him and a fracas involving him and walkers ensues, leading to others in the bus attempting to hauner him. In lunging for the drivers door area they shove the boy aside and his face into the back of the seat in front. Other walkers stop the nonsense
The rest is an exercise in one sided story telling, an RST agenda and media gullibility.

Heskey a non scoring centre forward , he would have been right at home.
Got to admit I liked him , sacrificed himself for his teammates .
Flipin heck.
Some 2nd half.
Liverpool hit the bar ….third time they’ve hit the woodwork
I don’t know if I am more offended by those who are offended or by those who are offended by those who are offended… If the worst thing in my life was to be called a name I’d be happy..
This is ALAMO stuff from Bolton
Cultsbhoy
Had to argue with what you are saying …. but, as was pointed out earlier, how many times have stories been reported that ‘a big bad fenian did it’ and then we found out it was McShaggers girffriend that hit him, or whatever else the story was.
The point that, without some kind of actual verification, we cant believe a word that is printed in the press is a valid one. the longer this one goes on without the person being identified, the less I would be inclined to believe the MSM spin.
Good evening all.
Could you all please stop insulting the primate breed on here. I’m totally convinced that “Clyde” has more brain cells than the “average” hun. There, sue me. :-)))
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
Hope Bolton can hold on,
went down a few seasons ago when my mate was
coaching the reserves,they have a cacking set up with
a hotel,pub etc opposite the stadium,as well as hotel rooms in the stadium if I remember
Sterling wan each
Aye good timing g64
Ya jona.
spoke too soon
1-1

Bgx.
My honest answer would be, it would all depend on the delivery.
True story. Ian Durrant once called me a tarrier.
I was having a pint with his brother Jamie and Ian turned up and said what you doing drinking with that tarrier?
I just laughed it off, as there was no malice in it, in my opinion.
Goal, Liverpool …. Sterling ….. Great wee player. 5 mins to go
pfayr-in the grand scheme of overpriced EPL diddies,Joe Allen is up there….
Rwe
A perfectly plausible sequence of events
Quite difficult to throw a bottle in a bus and almost as difficult to throw a bottle into a bus
Given that the victim was a child ..is it not surprising that it didn’t hit a larger person before it reached him ….unless he was seated at the front
Geordie..,
Crisp poke is not human therefore by default is dehumanising at least if the huns said it was then our greetin faced wummin would agree with them

Right turn clyde

There goes my prediction for tonight.
I hope that BR at least buys RS dinner tonight … that goal may just have kept BR in a job for a little while longer.
Bolton out on their feet
Won’t fancy extra time
BT
Timing is everything in life. :)

Jim & his wife Kathleen ran the scouts and cubs for years. They shld have been nominated for a Queens award for their dedication alone!!
What’s the script should it finish a draw?
Extra time then pens?
Or is this away goals count after 120 malarkey?
Just watched the interview with GMS on Celtic TV. Seems to be a dream come true for the bhoy…..he’s so happy to be here.
Very good player with a great atttitude.
