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.

    The replies from the SNP have been sparse but those that have come in have been from the same or similar template.

    ‪The £20m King invested in RFC(IL) WAS NEVER REPAID. Mr Chips used it as proof of assets, would someone tell James Forrest as he is wrong on this point.‬ Thanks

    Well bhoys

     

    When I saw the fixture list and the amount of games our team had to play up till the winter break ,I had hoped for the unbeaten run to carry till then .

     

    Fanciful ,possibly but for us to get to that point with only one defeat is IMO a great achievement the amount of games we have played over and above our opponents was always going to take it’s toll.

     

     

    IMO this break came at a great time for us ,re group and go all in for the 2nd half of the season
