Bigger questions loom than reconstruction

1092

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.

    Hamiltontim @23:34 Concorde used to fly right over the top of my place in southeast London.

     

     

    Like you it was noisy nuisance and a relic from the 60′s whose time had come and gone. Long overdue for the scrapheap.

    Your lack of understanding of the views of the Celtic support speaks volumes.

     

     

    You’re lack of empathy with the Celtic support sets you apart.

    Hiding Nazi gold.

     

     

    I remember watching a documentary about this and one of the contributors said; “WW11 was a case of good versus evil and the Swiss stayed neutral”!!

  5. Petec I thought the speeches absurd.

     

     

    This discussion I am in tonight started with people comparing the Act to fascism. They don’t know what fascism is.

     

    Like them Findlay is unable to distinguish between heavy handedness and “police brutality.”

     

     

    Running alongside was another discussion about what to do about this Act, to which I contributed. With facts, arguments and ideas.

  6. Right, that’s the skiing holiday just cancelled. Thank you CQN. (Only kidding)

    I would agree this is nothing like fascism, yet.

     

     

    What did you feel was absurd about the speeches?
