Celtic fans to blame, apparently

902

I see Celtic fans are being blamed for rumours of Newco’s administration by their former manager, Ally McCoist. He could argue that. Alternatively, you could suggest that a business unable to secure bank borrowing, dependent on funding from directors, who will soon be forced to find £11m to make a share offer, has created more than enough financial uncertainty without Celtic fans’ assistance.

McCoist suggested “even the biggest Celtic fans in the country” do not want to see Newco go into administration. Not so sure you are right there, Ally. Personally, I would find it a funny, but it is not going to change anything. It would not lead to relegation and will not change the title race in any way.

The most significant outcome of administration could be forcing control from Dave King. Which would be a source of enormous regret.

You hang in there, Dave.

The CQN Podcast: A Celtic State of Mind (EP28) with former Celtic director Tom Grant

Paul John Dykes and Kevin Graham are joined by Celtic’s ex-director, Tom Grant, who offers a fascinating insight into the running of the club in the 1980s and 1990s.

Tom Grant explains exactly why Celtic refused to complete the Mo Johnston transfer in 1989, and lifts the lid on audacious efforts by Billy McNeill to recruit Peter Beardsley and Steve Bruce.

Tom Grant also dissects his relationship with Fergus McCann, and the impact of the ‘Celts For Change’ movement in overturning the ‘family dynasty’ board in 1994.

    swallister ain’t so clever

     

    his solution to the woes of thems as witnessed by me recently on the telly is to pump loads more money into players

     

    he doesn’t even know they ain’t got no mores money

     

    swallyramblings are good

     

    the vanquished will read this and believe it

     

    they will hallucinate everything is ok in a jungian dream that the past is the future if we say it is

     

    in the meantime aberdeen hibs minis and ross county will get on with being sustainable clubs rendering the spfhell a football league whereby clubs can hope to play ball in the next year

     

    thems may not be a part of that

     

    this is neither here nor there

    Alexis Sanchez- why in heaven’s name would Guardiola shell out over 20mil when he goes for zilch in the summer?

     

    Also, he must be up tied for CL.

     

    EPL is a grotesque monster.

  7. Stairheedrammy on

    For the OBAF emails I have had supportive responses back from Maurice Golden and Ross Greer, while Ken MacIntosh says he needs to be impartial because of his current parliamentary role. HH.

    KEEP THE FAITH

  9. 6 years ago I sent an email to Gary Ralston . He had written an article in the DR saying that Rangers were ready to offer a Spanish team over £2 million for their centre forward ( can’t remember the player but think he played for Real Sociedad ) during that particular transfer window .

     

    This was during the time when CQN & The Rangers Tax Case blogs were both predicting financial doom at Ibrox while guys like Ralston were in denial .

     

    The email simply said, that going by the body of evidence being suggested by separate sources , there was a complete contrast in the information being provided by bloggers compared to the mainstream written press .

     

    I concluded that one was truthful while the other was drivel , and the he had written an article that was drivel .

     

    He replied with a short email saying he was sorry I considered his article was drivel . End of .

     

    They never made a bid ,and were in administration, within a month .

     

    He wrote drivel then and still does . Best ignored .

  11. Happy Birthday to the Birthday Bhoys today , Cosy Corner Bhoy and that Awe_Naw bloke who used to upset a lot of people here before leaving all the upsetting to his brother ;-)

     

     

    SFTB and Jamesgang, thanks for your responses earlier in the day. The German Bhoys enjoyed the experience immensely, if not the fitba’ on show. At least it wasn’t as baltic for them as Pittodrie on the previous Wednesday night.

     

     

    Delaneys Dunky,

     

    If you’re looking in, we all hope everything is ok with you and yours. Here’s a wee tune for you – I know you’d appreciate it :-)

  16. James Forrest,

     

    good read thanks,but can i ask what is invoice financing,

     

    is it a fancy name for a loan?

  17. Gordybhoy.

     

    They are still owed some money for Waghorn pen and Garner.

     

    Invoice Financing is asking a finance company to give them the money just now and paying them back once they receive owed monies, obviously with a premium paid. None of the companies would touch them.

     

    Hail Hail

  18. The Spirit of Arthur Lee on

    Gordybhoy64

     

     

    If your company raises an invoice for say £1000.00 with a 30 days payment plan these finance companies will give say 80% of the cash right away .

     

     

    Love

    Hopefully King and Ralston will keep going strong. Club 1872 also, who I want to gain control of The Rangers, though I’m sure oor dave will stiff them in the end.
