We now know that Craig Whyte met Neil Doncaster and Ralph Topping, directors of the SPL, in London in October 2011 and informed them of the likelihood that Rangers would go into liquidation. Whyte’s plan, to start a Newco and have it parachuted into top flight football was only taken seriously as a result of these three having a head start on everyone else and doing some preparatory work.
Charles Green has no such plans. If he loses Ibrox, becomes embroiled in IPO-related troubles or fails to bridge the gap between money-in and money-out, an unplanned liquidation could follow with a potentially protracted period where physical assets are moribund and playing assets and other staff are released.
The SPL and SFL would do well to consider ‘what next?’ when they hold separate meetings next week. The century-old ways are gone, things will never be the same again.
I’m really pleased the aforementioned Charlie issued an apology for his offending comments, even if he did so under duress from the SFA. This kind of rhetoric has taken control within football in some European countries. Once the door is open it is hard to close it again.

Lennybhoy…Supporting Neil Lennon and CFC until I die &
jimbo67,
Getting better as the minutes fly by. Speaking with Kikinthenakas right now via FB. No doubt we’ll see the 4 musketeers MWD, CRC, HT & BT pop there heads above the parapet shortly. I feel a drinking session about to be planned.

And what a balloon he makes.
Hope those billions of shares he got for his boys make nice wallpaper for them.

‘The criminal legislation passed by the SNP govt has been little short of facism’
It’s authoritarian and intolerant but it’s a long way short of fascism.
TimsinOhio, beer? I’m in.
Details on FB. After the game on the 11th?
PFayr – yes, this time next week i’ll be in Glasgow:0) BMCW is setting up a meet for the moonhowlers on the 27th; perhaps we could get tickets for that????

Life’s good.

Vic wins his appeal…astounded of forehead
What can St Mirren find so troublesome about league reconstruction when teams like St Johnston ,ICT etc find the proposals acceptable
Mr. Gilmour is making a bed that only an s&m fan would enjoy.
With chuckles minces, he will know soon enough, how much he has boobed.

I have no time for Blair he is a crook and when we see him now he is haunted by what he has done.
Brown is a decent man but never a Leader the SNP can only aspire to his level of re-distribution to families and pensioners.
I firmly believe the SNP are going down a path that only ends up with a degree of fascism
Jobo,
Run, Masters and CQN!
My evening is exactly the same. Wee beer now, deserved after the run.
Need to get the kids of the playstation first though, wish me luck.

Bang on. Bet they don’t. Hahaha

key elements of fascism are authoritarian and intolerant, punishment without proper trial, censorship.
being Irish catholic is not a crime, celebrating one’s historic culture is not a crime, if your offended by rebel/ folk songs its because your a bigot, is Scotland a bigot?
should we just forget who, what and where we come from because others don’t like it?
should we feel intimidated because larger society don’t accept our views and values?
when is enough, enough?
will green be outlawed?
shamrocks?
tricolours?
will catholic schools be closed?
will RC churches be closed?
where is the line drawn, who draws that line?
I am a proud Scottish man of Irish catholic origin, my grandfather came here to work and to improve his and his families life, not to be bushwhacked into a subordinate clown
by bigots and bullies
In hospital today for a wee knee op. Regained mental faculties about 2pm CET. A big thanks to all CQN ‘rs for keeping me entertained today. German TV is ganting!
Mon the Basel…
