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:

They really are an education, only yesterday their wisdom informed me that the GAA is the most sectarian sport in the world, and today, they have educated me again that Celtic are the most renowned racist club in the land.
Their wisdom knows no bounds :)

“The Irish immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were often caricatured as Monkeys in the press of the day due to their hairy, unkepped appearance and unruly ways. I think the slang term hairyback may also date back to this time.
This looks like another Hun, You’ll Never Walk Alone moment with the C****c support borrowing from other sources and claiming it as their own”
no longer hairy but I am unkepped I think!!!!!.and look how well we have done SAMMY.

It might be worth reminding people that Mr Ashley has only loaned £5m so far (Of which £3m went to repay his first couple of loans totalling same amount) – now considering they run monthly at a very very conservative £1.5m – £2m and already needed the remainder to pay salary (Including the Gardener) – they have no more money, unless Mr Ashley hands over another £5m… which depends on his crew’s ‘Due Diligence’…
And the South African is getting leery about making repayments…
Poking a very rich bear with a stick…

Yep, me too. That really annoying red advert is bugging me big time. Can’t seem to get it to disappear, so usually just give up.

Could someone have a look at this please – thanks.

Can’t believe it, but some of the RST article agrees with my own thoughts on Sunday. The ‘Monkeys’ patter just doesn’t sit well with me. Redolent of how I would expect the Huns to speak about us, not the other way around.
Dehumanising language is not good – it has been part of the tactics of black-shirted groups in the past to help smooth over their victimisation of minorities.
Don’t like it, it isn’t humourous, and I hope it gets binned.

Uly,
You can be sure that the loanees wages will not be going through NU’s accounts.
The more he loans them, the tighter the noose.
It will be very difficult for Dave the Knave to grab the reins, unless Mike lets him.

If sevco are paying the wages then they are gambling on reaching the top tier.

What are the rules about loans ????
Does anyone know ???
It’s pointless having a go at the championship clubs if having 5 loanees from one club is in the rules,
Just because it’s never happened before doesn’t make it wrong..

Hun skelper . How you doing pal . I’m not really to fussed about it . But Jackie McNamara snr is . I didn’t see any of the other teams I mentioned bringing in anyone , hearts did sign 1 I think . So I would say there is a chance the 5 loanees will make a difference to thems . I could be wrong , all I’m saying I would be a bit peeved . Would you not be . But not bothered anyway or the other pal .

You’re right. Maybe we should stop this monkey business before we inevitably herd them all into huncentration camps.

Got to ask.
The CQN magazine.
Anyone else having problems seeing it?
I use the iPad and the link constantly scrolls down so I cannot read anything.
Anyone else have that problem or is it just my iPad?

I’m having the same problem,don’t bother with it now

BGFC –
I agree. We shouldn’t be calling anyone monkeys. Neutrals, especially in England, upon reading that, would probably regard us as losing the moral high ground that we as a support are so fond of occupying.
Let’s not stoop to their level and it really isn’t funny.
The Herlad is as bad today as I have seen it……………
Shameless.

I can’t agree mate. I’ve referred to them as the ‘monkeys’ for years.
It’s a reference to their primitive nature.
After watching and listening to them on Sunday it only reinforced my opinion.
Can anybody tell me what GB banner said at start of the game Sunday couldn’t read it on the telly – looked like it was about Huns dying???
