    Great post. The souness era in effect heralded the end of a challenge from the likes of Aberdeen,Hearts ,Dundee Utd etc. Very nearly ours too.

     

     

    The only people who want to see a strong “rangers ” are huns and weak Celtic fans .

    Good morning few from a damp, grey but still East Kilbride

     

    —————————————————————————-

     

     

    Jobo,

     

     

    you say it’s ‘still East Kilbride’

     

     

    is that situation likely to change anytime soon and it stops being East Kilbride?

     

     

    is someone planning a takeover bid and name change, or are we in danger of going into liquidation?

     

     

    we deserve to know

     

     

    in fact Ally demands to know

    Was UEFA correct in punishing Celtic FC for ‘illicit chanting’? Soon to find the answer in the relevant publication.

  7. Burghbhoy on

    Right ok ghuys , I know we are playing well, have made 2 signings this window with the prospect of more, Sevco are on the road to destruction and the league may be won by the end of February but why and I repeat WHY has no one posted a critique of the new pie shop and the new fish shop in Paradise?

     

    I would like as a minimum….

     

     

    1. Are they value for money?

     

    2. What variety of pie are available?

     

    3.Are the crusts short or long?

     

    4. What variety of fish is used?

     

    5.Is it a batter or a breadcrumbs used?

     

    6. What were the queues like?

     

    7.&&& Are there any plans to introduce these exiting developments to other parts of the stadium? ( I’m in the Main stand lower and would like access to maybe Chinese food & succhi)

     

     

    Thanks in advance.

    That’s exactly what the spivs are up to (though they could be just letting the share price drop to realise a return on their 1p per share investment) …… the only problem I have with the Admin theory is….will the administrator / Liquidator allow them to sell the share, and will the assets not be retained for the creditors…?

     

     

    On another subject, last night on BBC Sportsound, Graham Spiers etc were lambasting sally etc for not being frugal when setting up the team for the lower divisions……why weren’t they shouting about that when they were actually doing it……..and why aren’t they ‘realising’ the very straightforward fact that the reason for the excessive spend was to make the SB sales more attractive……

     

     

    Anyway, the tribute act is on it’s way oot and that can only be a good thing….hahahahahahaha

  12. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon, supporting WEE OSCAR..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    By Ewing Grahame10:00PM GMT 18 Jan 20149 Comments

     

    Rangers manager Ally McCoist has blamed rogue traders, whose investment in Ibrox was solely for short-term gain, for the club’s current plight.

     

    Embarrassed and saddened by the fact that chief executive Graham Wallace had to ask the players in midweek whether they would accept a 15 per cent reduction in their wages – an offer they felt able to refuse – McCoist has come to a conclusion many independent observers reached a long time ago, namely that many of those investors were interested only in their profits and completely unconcerned by Rangers’ losses.

     

    Venture capitalists do what they do: they make money not by providing jobs or generating wealth for others but by exploiting vulnerable companies and individuals. Rangers was a prime case.

     

    Sir David Murray, the prime mover in the club’s downfall, bought success with the Bank of Scotland’s money but, when Lloyds took over that failing institution, he could no longer depend on his cronies to continue extending credit with which to fund his lavish spending.

     

    The new fiscal prudence at Lloyds and his decision to sign players he could not afford, brought Rangers to their knees. He then claimed to have been duped by Craig Whyte when he sold the club to him in 2011.

    Within a year Whyte – who had sold four years’ worth of season tickets to an outside agency in order to pay off the £18 million debt to Lloyds – had driven Rangers over a cliff, wilfully withholding tax deducted from staff salaries and refusing to pay bills in order to keep the club running. They were plunged into administration in February 2012 and ceased to exist in June of

     

    that year. However, a new consortium fronted by Charles Green was given exclusive rights by administrators Duff & Phelps to buy the business and assets of the old club for £5.5 million that summer.

     

    A share issue 13 months ago raised £22.5 million which, like Green and his colleagues such as Imran Ahmad and Craig Mather, is long gone.

     

    There is the real prospect of the new club facing insolvency in the near future and last week McCoist asked Wallace where the money had gone.

     

    “The chief executive at the moment is aware that some of the problems are there because some of the decisions were made for the short term, maybe a year ago,” he said.

     

    Asked whether he believed that those decisions were made for other people’s benefit, McCoist replied: “Yes. He [Wallace] didn’t go into great detail. He just said some mistakes had been made. I don’t know enough about it. Who do you blame?”

     

    It was pointed out that someone must have authorised the signing of a host of players on long and expensive contracts and led him to believe that finance was not an issue. “Absolutely,” he said. “I just went about my business signing players. The chief executives that I have had so far, Charles was the first one then Craig came in. I was wanting to bolster the squad and that’s what I did. No one said it was a problem.”

     

    The thought that Rangers’ budget in the third and fourth tier of Scottish football was not only unnecessary but unsustainable never entered McCoist’s head.

     

    “Not really,” he said. “Not being an accountant. Maybe I have it totally wrong but, with the player budget coming down this year, I was looking at it – wrongly, obviously – season tickets, costs I’m doing on the back of a fag packet and it kind of fits.

     

    “We had a lot of money in from an IPO [share sale] and we had two amounts of season tickets but I was obviously wrong and I obviously am wrong.”

     

    Rangers have amassed 58 points ahead of their game at Forfar, but should they descend into administration, they will face a deduction of 28 points, almost

     

    half that total. Such an outcome could deny them automatic promotion and possibly even see them miss out on the play-offs but McCoist is refusing to press the panic button.

     

    One of the many criticisms levelled at him by supporters is that he has endorsed every chief executive he has worked with, including some who were unlikely to have had Rangers’ best interests at heart.

     

    Even so, he could not bring himself to say that he regretted publicly backing Green at a time in 2012 when season-ticket sales were sluggish.

     

    “A lot of things go through my head when I think about Charles,” he said. “He came in and he was the first potential ally I had, so I had to – I don’t think I was in a position to do anything other than what I thought was best for everybody. And at that time there was nowhere else to turn.”

    IF the MSSM was genuinely interested in the well-being of Scottish Football, they would simply say that Celtic needs a strong challenge. It wouldn`t matter who provided that challenge. The fact that they only ever mention ” Rangers” in this context tell us all we need to know about their (MSSM) real agenda.

     

    The gap in finances is what makes the difference between Celtic and the other teams so, when looking for a real challenger, we must look at the Club most likely to create the greatest and most stable financial foundation. Is there evidence that The Rangers are the Club most likely to do this? In their massive favour is the size of their support. Everything else, from being a third tier outfit to their financial woes, is against them. Maybe the MSSM should start promoting Aberdeen as their new , favourite Club. I don`t anticipate that happening .

    The question has to be asked why some journalists are now actually having a road to Damascus moment telling the truth of the zombies death,! what has happened since to make them tell it as it is although far to late in the day to be of any use.Has the departure of the myth & the sheer absurdity of Fat Salary and with no one else left to fear given them the a backbone which has been missing for years.Or are they just sick of the spivery and being taken for mugs

     

    Though with dinosaurs like Jackshun & co still pandering to the oldco with there lies & distortions of the reality of what happened and that they have been punished enough by men who should have known better nonsense is still the party line that is being pushed,seems like divisions are opening up everywere except the one were newcoFcnewcoFc will be playing in

    Apologies if already covered, but am I right in thinking that there were a group of fans behind the goal in the Lisbon Lions stand wearing Motherwell tops? If not I will change my medication immediately! If so, was this some kind of ‘infiltration’ protest?

    I’m seriously shocked that this blog can devote thousands of words to the roasted cheese or is it toast on cheese/ cheese on toast debate and yet pass no comment on the most exciting culinary developments at Celtic Park for decades!!!!

    McCoist said: “I feel a lot of emotions – disappointment, anger and sadness – that although we are not going down the same road we are going down a similar path.”

     

     

    Oh that’s ok it’s a path no a road so no worries eh!

    That was a group of children wearing High Viz vests.

     

    They could, of course,still be Motherwell fans or even Junior Stewards on a Training Day but I believe they were simply a group of young Tims wearing the tops for easy identification.
