I can’t tell you how many statements I’ve read from those trying to bring down Newco Rangers (bonne chance) but not one comes near to approaching the key question: what can they offer the the men and women who own shares in Newco to convince them to accommodate their future aspirations?
Threats, intimidation and blackmail are all possible incentives, but no one has actually put a case forward which would compensate the investment made by the shareholders who, let’s remember, own all club assets.
An enormous assumption appears to have been made that hedge funds and various Easdales will capitulate and simply walk away and sign their paid-for assets over to a group who are regularly abusive towards them. It’s like 2012 all over again, when parts of the world assumed HMRC would capitulate and agree to a CVA for Oldco, despite all genuine evidence (i.e. published policy) indicating otherwise.
Game Theorists would have a ball with this scenario. Shareholders are being offered a choice, hand over your assets to a hostile opponent or attempt to continue with a vastly reduced business. The former option should not be taken seriously.
Question is, where does this particular game end? It’ll not be in an outcome satisfactory to many of those dreaming of ‘competing with Celtic’ anytime soon.
This mind-set should be familiar. It’s the same one which blamed Celtic, or small-minded small clubs, the SPL and/or SFA, blamed anyone, in fact, apart from those who endorsed years of overspend at Rangers, for their eventual demise.
Walking headlong into unsustainable debt is no different than walking headlong into a conflict with hedge funds who would sell your valued acre for landfill rather than be held to ransom.
I’ll renew my season tickets tonight (still annoyed I didn’t do so in time for the free ticket draw). Whatever happens in the wider scheme of Scottish football, one club will be supported ‘through and through’.

Tonight’s Libertadores
++++++++++++++++
Arsenal ( 9 ) v Unión Española ( 8)
Arsenal manager, Gustavo Alfaro’s strange relationship with the press seemed to continue when he announced recently that he’d leave his post when his current four year contract expired in June. Basically he felt he had done all he can at “El Arse” and has hit the glass ceiling. Furthermore, he claimed his team, who have been playing two games a week since the turn of the year are “tired and need a break”.
However, that must have been the last straw for El Arse supremo (son of AFA President), Julio Ricardo Girondona who promptly sacked Alfaro and appointed ex Boca striker, Martin Palermo as Alfaro’s replacement.
Under Palermo, El Arse got off to a winning 3-1 start against Lanus at the weekend.
Union Espanola struggling in the fight for Libertadores qualification (Universitario Catolica have already sealed the winners spot. Coincidentally some team called “Rangers” will be relegated) in the Chilean Clausura went down 3-1 at home to O’Higgins at the weekend.
Espanola have signed, ex Flamengo, centre half, Marcos Gonzalez (hoping to boost his World Cup squad chances) to bolster up a shaky defence. However, CONMEBOL have rejected his registration, which will be a significant blow to their confidence.
Prediction : HOME WIN (75%)
Sorry for above

Yeah yeah. Do you drink out the same trough as Tony. No go and play with that appendage on your forehead. Pretty sure you can’t see through anything for that dangling over your eyes.
MWD says YES and wonders about the benefits of care in the community!

Afternoon all. Beautiful down here just now.
Been out all day and on the home on the radio I heard Easdale 1 say that he didn’t think the deid team could survive a second admin. If he’s living in cloud cuckoo land, I have news for him; the team died when it went into liquidation the first time.
trad 88,
I think one person on here has successfully guessed why my name is Bhonty. It’s a rubbish name, and the fact that I’m a bike wheel masquerading as a Celtic fan has never been spotted. Hat’s off to you.
Meanwhile, I’ve been trying to work out the glass houses comment… I assume you don’t think legislation can be described as beautiful. On that point, some may agree, some certainly wouldn’t. However, surely such a qualified critic will recognise that I’m not so much describing the legislation as beautiful as the effect it has on you and the Canalmars. I really, really enjoy it. That or you can’t spell any of the words in the quote.
J o Neil,
No, was trying to post a pic of pope frank getting the hoops presented to him , but canny dae it
Bern, best post I’ve ever read on here.
For my sins listened to a wee bit of SSB last night.
An interesting wee chat was had between Delahunt and Ian fae Falkirk who loves to opine on all matters….
However Ian’s opening remark was to thank SSB for suitably chastising someone on the Monday show who had made a naughty comment on Catholics – no idea what comment was.
Delahunt tells him to move on, we’re not having that but the bold Ian then tells him it was Delahunt who has asked him to bring it up!!!!!!
Then some think this is a real opinion show without plants.

Anyway. Off oot to kick some CQNers up and down a five-a-side park. Canny be doing with those Celtic supporters noo.

Why don’t you just not renew, and do one, without the attention seeking?
Else do something about it instead of walking away(do you drink out the same trough as Dingwall- you don’t do walking away, except for when you’re not there)
Put up or shut up.
Bsr, vive la difference!
A lot of bad is said about the French, but mate, in my lifetime I’ve been lucky, every French guy I’ve ever met or worked with has been a nutter.
And to a man, every single one of them, has had a wee affection for the Glasgow Celtique.
I once played football in France for my Command, at the time I was under arrest, long story, anyway we played against the French Northern Command and drew three each. As soon as the game finished I was escorted back to the bus, still in my strip, by the MP’s, whilst everybody else went for a shower and dressed in their No. 1’s for the banquet. France’s military belles by the dozen were turning up in the gowns and I was sat on the re-enforced bus, sandwiched between two chuggers watching them.
Then in all their dress uniforms every French soldier and sailor and airman that I had been playing against walked out off the banquet and boarded the bus I was a prisoner on, my God is my judge if there wasn’t a Colonel and a few Captains (navy) amongst them. The bus filled up until there was no more room and the banquet died.
Panic by the MP’s.
The French said I played against them I drink with them.
Panic by the MP’s
Long story short, still handcuffed in my strip I was escorted into a palace and got pissed out of my nut with mad Frenchmen and women, and me with my Celtique strip as ever under the strip of the team that I was playing for.
True story.

Yes that’s the one

Long Story —– Okay go ahead!
kitalba, Some story. I trust you are not extracting the urine,
Robert Tressell I agree a membership scheme would be good.evwryones contribution no matter how small should be known, , from a simple key ring to gettin Celtic telly should be known and harnessed more efficiently.
An overhaul of our communications dept would better Celtic imo.

Lots of great ideas suggested on what to do about poor old Ceefor.
I particularly liked the idea of putting its remains in a box and claiming it was still alive, only providing the lid remained closed.
Fact is, I sold its history on eBay last year. There’s now a Yorkshire cat in a chateau some place in the Loire that has a world record for mice caught on the Dechmont massif.
