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.

Basel’s ground gives me the heebeejeebies, I can still see Chris Sutton’s last minute shot sneaking past the wrong side of the post after all these years.
They’ll be dancing in the streets of Starry Plough Land

I can learn how to be a real Good Ghuy from real campaigners like yourself I am just a mere functionary I am not worthy
just think, when this Europa draw was made they discussed, on ITV, which one of the English clubs would not make the final………..

And so came the day when the hopes of the British Empire rested squarely on the shoulders of Chelsea FC.

I like Basel when the team is doing well always a good vibe down there, the whole city centre was given over to bars and cafes showing the game last week, no huns so a proper football event…
CRC, yes but in hospital tonight, had a wee knee op this morning, hence the stupidity, Also using this as an excuse for lack of weight loss instead of the birthday excesses ;-)
Starry plough.
Geographically
So, there is a very good chance that Celtic managed to get out of a champions league group which contained the eventual winners of both the Champions League and the Europa League.

Whitespurs lose the deathstrike showdown. Adam Bayor kicked the ball real high over the soccergoal. Peter Andre Villas Boas looks real mad.
Night all. H H
Hamiltontim @22:16 accuses me of ” .. the need to ‘investigate’ Celtic supporters after speeches they make about Celtic supporters to Celtic supporters.”
I’ll question anything. Especially anyone who is asking for my support. You reveal yourself when you question the efficacy of me exercising my rights.
Are you seriously suggesting that because someone declares themselves a Celtic supporter then they are beyond reproach?
Surely anyone who has read just a few pages of CQN must realise that shady Celts are everywhere.
It was for rubbish like this I decided to check out McCann and Findlay
“welcome along to an absolutely jam-packed George Square. … today, with thousands of people stretching as far as the eye can see”

A deep slur against my name!
Notice I didnt say good name.
Guilty as changed, I’ll pay next time.
celt55 When Suttons last minute shot went wide did that not start us on the road to Seville.
St.John.Doyle @22:38 how can any report be secret after you’ve read it?
and mentioned it on here.
Night bhoys
Maybe they’ll be no more tomorrow
…..but when dog goes to bed…..
blame it on the dogs’ ability for lingering farts
Starry plough.
True, but they’ll be as culturally similar to the people of Stuttgart or Dortmund as we are Liverpool or Manchester. It was also like watching a bundesliga team with the work ethic and organisation, not to mention the crowd backing.
St.John.Doyle @22:38 can you tell us more about this secret report?

It did, indeed, but on the night the CL was the one to be in.
Ming Campbell clearly coming across as a tory
Ming is being quite merciful tonight on QT

I don’t. I see a very respectable, charitable decent Community that I am proud to be a little part of, though I realise because of my location I’m very much a fringe member.
