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.

    Cheers buddy

     

     

    Saw your email addy a few pages back so will probably send you some questions .. no rush in getting back to me.

     

     

    Its more for my uncle..hes been thinking about leaving oz in next 4/5yrs and has mentioned spain and portugal .

  3. There is an easy solution to dealing with the problems of “The Rangers” being stronger than ever…

     

     

    Let’s all club together (or should that be ‘holding company’ together? It’s all very confusing.) and buy them a bulk pack of soap, deoderant and washing powder.

     

     

    Sure to deal with the odourous contacts problem.

  4. John Barnes blames Racism for not getting employment.

     

     

    Yep,like all of the England media and people hate you for being one of their all time England heroes.I have noticed that Cammy,is finding it hard to get employment anywhere.Maybe its all his TV and advert work thats stopping him.Who knows?.Yep,racism running riot in football.I mean,you would be hard pushed to find a coloured player in English football.

     

    Maybe John,just maybe,you are a crap manager.No?.Your probably right.They are all racists.

    Good player, good experience behind him on loan to English clubs, and still a multi million pound player.

     

     

    I’d imagine he’d be one of two CB’s we’ll sign, if it’s true, the other being within our budget of 2million 3million.

     

     

    Just like the sale of FF a fair wedge of the possible VVD sale will is reinvested despite the paucity of TV League, revenue etc.

    Turkey,

     

     

    Agree about Barnes. He had a second chance and was crap. Embarrassing guff from him.

    I liked him as a player at doomdome. Thought he looked a class above his Rangers peers. Have not really noticed him since he moved to Liverpool. If he becomes a Celtic player I will support him 100%.

  8. Danny Wilson.The CH equivalent to Craig Gordon.

     

    Has he ever came up for a corner against Celtic,the blaggard?.Played for Liverpool,had a massive future in front of him,lost his way a bit?Resurrected his career brilliantly with Hearts?.Burn him at the stake.

     

    If his name was Dannilo Wilsinio,and he came from some obscure foreign team,with his pedigree,we would be falling over ourselves to give him a chance.

     

    But,to many,sadly no.

    John Barnes strong case for calling out racism which clearly exists, is destroyed by using himself as an example.

  10. Yup….

     

    Danny Wilson is a Celtic supporting ex pupil of st. Margarets RC high ….

     

     

    I think he would be a good addition imo

  11. Carful with the Tax….I will mate….just Dont think hes anywhere near good enough…Saw him with the huns….thought they won a watch with the money they got for him….vastly overrated Imo…ffs he cant get in the Scotland team for championship defenders….

    Correct,why do you think Liverpool snapped him up?.Have no idea if he could do a job for us.Have no idea if its just a rumour,but if RD says “YES”then thats OK by me.

    Paulo,

     

     

    Couldn’t care less about his place of schooling. If we sell VDd for millions and reinvest little, why should I bother giving my money and making a Iinvestment?

    Oh please,not the old “Racism card”It does exist,but I am 100% sure,not with him.He is a dud,and coming out with this guff does not help the problem one bit.

     

    What would you say if,our coloured chap from the Russian league,on loan ,claimed he was not getting a game through “Racism”.

    CB,I usually agree with you,but did we not hear the same argument when FF went,and we signed Gordon?.

    Still young enough to improve with some good coaching .. Seems a level headed guy .. Liverpool must have seen something in him .. Up to us to resurrect that potential etc etc ..

     

     

    Sleepy weepy :)

  17. Danny Wilson Has found his Level at Hearts….Better than..VVD.. Deynar…or Wilson or even Mulgrew….not for me …No….

  18. BGX,

     

     

    Maybe you are right.As far as I know,its only a story at the moment.Who knows?.I will say,the boy is not half bad.Would I give him a chance?.Why not?.

    TB,

     

     

    Evening. Yes we did. That gamble won’t work often though. Don’t like being negative but I am now a cynic. Prove me wrong Celtic please.

     

     

    Wilson plays in a crap league for a crap team (against crap teams) and flopped at Liverpool. Didn’t he play against Spurs in the UEFA cup when Spurs thumped the Swines from Swine castle?

    Did you read what I posted?

     

     

    Sorry,I did.Did not answer very well,but I hate these people who blame “Racism”for their own shortcomings.

     

    Apologies.

  21. bournesouprecipe on

    Delaneys

     

     

    Yes, he had potential when Liverpool signed him.

     

     

    Like a lot of players, that don’t do well in the EPL e.g. Gary Hooper etc

     

    – if Celtic want him that’s good enough for me, over fan opinion.

     

     

    That’s how we got VVD.

  22. Captain Beefheart,

     

     

    Think he also played in the CL for the old Hun,and was outstanding.

  23. Delaneys Dunky on

    Turkey

     

     

    If Ronny and the two Johnnys ( who know Danny Wilson well) think he can be a Celtic player, I bow to their superior fitba knowledge. Will back the player to the hilt, like I do to every lucky man who wears a Celtic shirt.

  24. Turkeybhoy…as i said prevs, if Ronny does the deal then fine..our manager knows better than me…but Imo he was Vastly overrated at the huns and has found his level at Hearts…just saying….

  25. Captain Beefheart on

    Fair enough TB.

     

     

    If he signs, I will fully support him. May he prove me wrong.

  26. Who said Wilson was playing in a “Crap league”.Dont you know the best left back in Britain is in this league.Shows how much you know.Did you not see the Hibees game last week?
