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.

    Murray then went out and borrowed £40m for ragers 1872 on the back of that investment .

  6. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Gordon64, I listened to Paul Larkin’s home bhoys podcast earlier . Paul explains about the grief he and his family have got since th Sun and Record printed inaccurate descriptions of what his film Armegeddon is about.

     

     

    One of the worst things about the unnecessary grief he got was it came from so called Celtic fans who believed the mince printed by the tabloids.

     

     

    The Sun have even tried to get to get him to talk to them about the hassle Paul has had even though it was caused by them with their inaccurate article. In the podcast Paul was very emphatic , he will never speak to the Sun .
