Celtic fans get stuck into our reason for being, nomad moot

765

Congratulations to The Kano Foundation for their magnificent fifth annual charity dinner on Saturday.  The Kano story is beyond incredible and a credit to those who call ourselves Celtic fans – whether you are involved with them or not.

Well done also to everyone who participated in the Celtic Foundation Zip Slide across Celtic Park on Saturday, in aid of children’s’ charities.  It was exhilarating and is sure to be repeated.  A weekend without Celtic and hundreds of Celtic fans get stuck into our reason for being.

They can blame the last guys for the lack of commercial revenue streams, or for paying incompetent coaches too much money.  They can even blame them for over-ambition when it came to funding the playing squad, but for all of its short corporate life, Rangers International PLC’s previous board members have been able to produce accounts on time and all received approval from authorised nominated advisers.

If the new board members are unable to deliver a nominated adviser, blaming the old board, as one newspaper tried today: “largely because of the scorched earth policy implemented by the previous board in the last days of the Mike Ashley empire – they must do so before the City shuts down for the Easter holiday”, would be both dishonest and a very worrying (for some) departure from a company which seeks to build its corporate reputation.

This entire question should be moot.  Mike Ashely didn’t need to be on the newco board to exert the control he needed with an 8% share and neither would Dave King.  King could easily take a back seat and appoint trusted men of stature who would breeze the nomad requirements.  We can only speculate as to why King NEEDS to be on the board, and don’t count on anyone who can get close enough to King, or his PR, asking this question.  The entire uncertainty is an unnecessary nonsense.

  1. St Stivs.Like you I have connections from Tyrone. Sixmilecross, I believe. Think I have found my great, great great grandfather from that part of the world. The Mormon records help a lot in tracing people.

    Liam Henderson expected to complete loan from Celtic to Rosenborg tomorrow. On @scotsunsport website now. Likely to be three months.

     

     

    If true, the timing is ridiculous. Brown has a ban coming up, Bitton got an injury on Saturday. A lot of major games coming up.LH is the number 1 stand in for MF IMO.Unless he is going in the summer?

    I ain’t becoming Mormon to find out who my justified and ancients are.

     

     

    Cos they had an ice cream van.

    I hope the rest of the ole Waltons don’t join in or it’ll be morning before it’s goodnight.

  7. Agree games would help Liam greatly

     

     

    Just think they should be with Celtic

     

     

    Games will do him a world of good though, so good luck Liam

     

     

    We need to move on quite a few in the summer still, for me that would include McGregor

    They’re all Huns because they played for both clubs at ibrox

     

    The supporters -and I’m using poetic licence here – are all Huns also

     

    It’s that simple

     

    If you give them your allegiance you’re a Hun

     

    That’s why it’s go home ya Huns and not just the some of them who aren’t nice blokes ,or blokettes

     

    Of course some of them are lucky enough to be related to us through marriage but Clive dunns nonetheless

    Twentyfirstmaynineteenseventynine,

     

     

    I didn’t compare our fans to theirs. That wasn’t the point I was making, and apologies if it wasn’t clear.

     

     

    I did NOT write (or even imply) what I’m accused of.

     

     

    I try not to see people as a group who all share the same views. We’re all individuals and too many lack tolerance and respect. For me, nobody’s a hun until they act like one.

    Thanks very much mate , these old eyes are getting tired now .

    I think Liam going out on loan would be a good thing.

     

    I realise it may create a short term problem for us, but long term it will be to out benefit and his benefit.

     

    I’d also like to see Darnell Fisher do similar.

     

    Also Calum McGregor – last summer after a decent run at Notts County he looked like a guy who wasn’t quite good enough for us, but could command a £400k to £500k transfer fee.

     

    Since Xmas he has disappeared, and I suspect his value has halved.

     

    A loan would help his confidence and put him in shop window.

    Just caught the last hour of a very good film called The Athlete about the great Ethiopian athlete Abebe Bikela on The Africa Channel. Well worth a watch if you get a chance.

    does Dave King require to be a Director of Rangers so that SARS can’t claim a portion of his investment?

    You only need to be in a room with 43 people and at least 2 will share the same birthday.

     

     

    We are just the same as all the other aminals

    It’s 23 people for the chance to be more than 50% and with 70 people the chance of matching birth day is 99.9%.

    I did, it was just a hole in the ground when I bought it, spent 5 months renovating it, built the pool and did most of the outside stuff a couple of years later.

     

     

    Next project is to put solar in, should have done it 1st time around, but….regret it now.

     

     

    If you need any info, just ask.
