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:

21.32.
A bit like myself. I was waiting for full time to go to bed.
Mike in…,
Pointless discussing it with cults.., as far as he’s concerned a Celtic supporter attacked the boy and bottled him in the face, that is exactly how he portrayed his stance last night.
Rwe….bullshit….i saw the boy on tv…are you pathetic enough to believe they got him to lie…my version..the bus was giving it to Celtic fans..Celtic fans giving it back…some snake coward opened the door, instead of chalanging someone off the bus for a square go…the arsehole through a bottle, hitting a 10yo boy…shameful…and anyone who defends it with whatabouterry is as bad as the bottle thrower..
You’ve got 5 minutes jimmy
And there you go
So the deadly bears trying to find the word Hun as sectarian, totally thick that mob. In recent history it was referred to due to German killings of civilians in Belgium during 1914!
Canamalar :)
Can we not just call them something positive then? Just to expose their moronic nature??
The good guys? The brulyints?

In fairness, I dont think anyone is defending throwing a bottle at a kid. All that I have seen is people saying, not unfairly, the facts as reported in some stories have not always been 100% accurate, and they want to reserve the right to find out what happened before criticizing.
Assuming the facts are as reported, I dont think anyone would do anything but condemn the action.
Geordie..,
What about our colourful cousins, oh wait
Night all.
Be nice to each other, we are all Celtic fans. Well except the trolls.
The sending off screwed Lenny
Stupid stupid tackle having done the exact same thing in the 1st half
Inter lose 1-0,late winner for Napoli

Tin Hat on….
Looking at Bolton’s results since NFL took charge, including tonight, you have got to admire what NFL can do with a team …. his teams work hard and defend like their lives depend on it … from the work rate, his players obviously respect and work hard for him.
But…. I think that RD is a more progressive manager, and if he is able to get the players to buy into his style, even half as well as NFL was able to get his players to buy into his style, the style of play that RD is trying to get us to play will allow us to compete at a higher level in Europe.
Sometimes you have to take a step back in order to take two forward. In our case, there was a fair bit of unlearning to do before the players really can play the way RD wants the team to play. But I see some indications this season that we are getting there … maybe not as quickly as I would like, but we are moving in the right direction.
I think that, given a bit of time and some support by the Board, RD is really going to shake things up at Celtic.
———–
Agree Mike, but being progressive also means tons of hard work as well.
Mike in..,
Cultsbhoy was defending throwing a bottle at a kid last night as that is exactly how he portrayed it.
Anyroadup,
Bawbaws time
Night night n hail hail
DD,
Ahhhh ok.
I believe we’re going to some snooker club.
I’ll get the gen from hun skelper :)
Sky Sports co commentator on 90 mins ‘oh is Higuain still playing?’

I thought 7/2 for Liverpool with Bolton down to ten men was quite high …
I thought at one stage I was going to get my -1 bet up too ….
GM
Think we are going to same place. :)
Hello again all you young rebels.
Well seems the dark side have been offended by blow up monkeys
not a word said about all the blow up sheep that they were throwing about
the debtdome a few years back when the dons played there.
Now i’m not sure which i’d be most offended being compared to but then
it’s easy to pull the wool over my eyes.
Baaaa.
H.H Mick
No time to scroll back and given the Sages on this blessed site it has probably been covered but
25000 of the feckers want to be up to their knees in our blood ( among many other little ditties) and they are offended at being referred to as monkeys???
Seriously someone, somewhere is having a laugh.
It’s the monkeys that should be taking the hump but if they did then that would make them camels…This word association thing……football.
Monkeys and huns…Too good for them
HH and still haven’t seen a handsome one
Borrusia Dortmund lose again at home. Rock bottom of Bundesliga. Astonishing !
Napoli 1 Inter 0..
Inter are absolutely nothing to worry about.
A very poor game.Ranocchia made mistake after mistake and gifted Napoli a last minute winner.Shaqiri did nothing, wonder boy Puscas did nothing..I lost count of the number of times Inter gave the ball away ..Very poor defensively , really struggle with cross balls.
Poor game – I found myself wishing I was at home .
Some end to both games I was interested in, Liverpool and Napoli double, bet was a dud at about 90 mins but both teams won with L’pool doing it the hard way and Napoli on about 92mins.
The way it was going I was happy for Lenny’s Bolton to win.

pfayr-well done, canny do a thing right the noo….:(
BGX
you can’t just guess what happened. where is the bottle.was there any liquid in it.what kind of bottle.let the polis speak to all the people on the bus and see if all the statements match up.bottle will have fingerprints.if some guy did throw it he will probably have previous and his prints will be on data base.and if memory serves walking up the road drinking alcohol is a crime and a CELTIC supporter doing it would have been spotted earlier.hell they can spot CELTIC supporters not doing anything and arrest them…………now get back to your knitting and I got an orse for you soon so keep an eye on e;mails.

What happened to a child is an awful thing to happen. However, your analysis is pure speculation.
I’ve been in incidents like this on several occasions and I don’t ever remember there being a case of anyone, either on or off the bus, offering an individual a square go.
In my experience it doesn’t happen that way.
