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:

Re Commons, before his goal watch how he runs into the box and as the ball moves out he moves into the space as a default move. His first touch and shot is superb! We have no other players with the intelligence or the capability to do what he did.

ok :-))
Bastia one kick away from knocking Monaco out
Is it bigoted or Sectarian to call the football supporters a nickname? Huns.
I have heard some people take this to mean Protestant. However, that is not my understanding. The first I heard this was a dipocumentary on sectarianism and I think it was by Kirsty Wark,
They toured the Celtic and Rangers pubs and asked them what they thought. I don’t remember the negativey on the word Hun from any Rangers supporter but there was one www woman in Argyle street who sad oh no that’s not a nice word.
Since then I think the Huns have taken it to mean proddie. That somehow all Protestants are Huns is proposterous. I’ve never known a group of Protestants to get blind drunk and go marauding around Europe urinating in Chappels and desecrating town centres with sectarian filth. Singing the billy boys or no Pope of Rome.
Mind you if there is doubt about this due to that wee summon in Argyle street maybe we should just stick to calling Rangers supporters Sevcovians or in fact Rangers supporter is as apt as anything as the connotation is enough for any normal person to form a mental image,

Bang on. He has an ability to find space that no one else on our books can, that’s what makes him special.
Bastia thru to French lge cup final, Bastia’s keeper made a fabulous save to keep them in it on the 5th kick.
Mullet and co2
My understanding of Hun is that the nazi flag was flown at Ibrox pre WW2 during a game against German opposition???
Hamilton
How much do you think Commons is on?
I reckon 20k will be close
Bastia keeper is called Areola.
Kept them in the cup.
Cough.
VP, I thought it was a good pic of you!
New Job, the daftie who is my boss made me National Sales Manager.
Hectic doesn’t cover it, but it’s interesting stuff.
He told me yesterday I have to go training the week of the Inter game, in Germany!
A tense 24hrs until he told me today I’ll be home on Wednesday night, a big phewwwww.

Do they play Brest in the final?;)
Night all.
Night wee Oscar my hero God bless x x.
Ta Cults. Bad taste in my mouth tonight!!

The swinging DICK, done a parody on Jobo yesterday morning, managed to offend one of the blogs good guys….I think Jobo just thought feck it, what’s the point?
They’ve been up in arms for years about the h word and now it’s the m word.
Never thought the huns were so thin skinned. One of their own, Jabba, called this type of stuff ‘terracing banter’ anyway. He was talking about the Famine song though, and other pleasantries like tarrier, taig, pape, fenian b, beast, beggar, paedo , kf, all far less derogatory term than monkey of course.
Commons £20k a week easy.
Night all.
vmhan – ynwa wee oscar
How much did you have on?
A monkey? :-)
Winning Captains – I know you were hinting at some event / story / activity as a follow-up to our statement of fact in the Herald.
Any hints of what / when that will be – without breaking any confidence of course!?

The same dick who called me an Anchor baby cause of my Polish/Irish parentage a few months ago. I hoped that ignorant, racist, lowlife scumbag had expired his welcome here.

why is TSD still on the blog? by my reckoning he got a yellow card, came back and got another one with his first post, then came back again just to offend a decent poster, nae wonder a lot of good posters give up on the blog
Kojo – Have to disagree with you on Commons. It’s no coincidence that we have played better since his return to the team. Football is nothing without goals and he is our main threat. His goal on Sunday was masterful. You might have noticed how quickly he transferred the ball from his right foot to his left to give himself a half-second to dispatch his shot. I’m not sure anyone else in our team could have put the ball in the net from there.
I do agree that he is getting to the end of his time with Celtic but he is worth a new 2 year contract. GMS may well have been bought as a replacement and the new contract may well depend on how GMS performs for the remainder of the season. Regardless, he is currently the main man.
