Chaotic life of SPL chief exec

957

The seemingly chaotic life of the Scottish Football League chief executive, David Longmuir, appears more predictable after First Division clubs made their feelings on league reconstruction known. Significant amounts of trickle-down money is available from the SPL to second-tier clubs from next season if they vote to merge the league organisations, which is likely to result in an 18 team bottom league. Longmuir managed to put a spoke in the wheels of a considerable majority in favour of reconstruction but his hopes will be denied.

Three weeks ago we reported speculation that Longmuir aspired to a job at Newco Rangers. Yesterday he responded by saying, “I know there are different expressions of conspiracy going on but I don’t deal in conspiracy, I deal in fact and honesty”. You can bookmark that for future reference.

I predict that the conspiracy will soon merge with fact and honesty – if Newco can still afford to recruit next season.

    Morning all, great news about Oscar the little warrior…. Just had a look at the national horses for tomorrow, seems the apt choice would be Oscar Time then… Anybody else got any decent each way tips ;-)

  2. I think what we are witnessing in the Sun is what is called a pre-emptive strike in Tom Clancy type novels.

     

    Yesterday there were rumours that CW was going to go public in The Sun.

     

    Later that story was claimed to have been pulled.

     

    Ever the opportunist where brass is involved ( in all its forms) CG aka Chuckie sells his version to The Sun to get in first and put some brass in his pocket.

     

    If it were ever true that anyone could die of shame The Rangers entity in all its forms would self combust this morning.

     

    Meanwhile the SFA have called in a vet to deal with the kittens they are having.

  3. Are BDO doing anything at all as liquidator of Rangers FC? I haven’t heard a single thing from them. Now it could be that it is taking them a while to go through everything and try to work out exactly what has happened over the past few years.

     

     

    Interesting to see Mr Whyte back on the scene. Yet another one claiming to have been duped.

    I’ll be in Corals bookies in Queen Street at 3.00pm.Meet you there.

     

     

    PFayr.

     

     

    I would love to be having a meal in La Taverna with you and your bro,my mouths watering at the thought,you should get tickets in the Celtic shop in Argyle St, will you be in George Square tomorrow,I’ll be there but won’t be doing the walk.

    Really Charles. Class act this man. They do have some links to the oldco with Waddell’s remarks about women – 40 odd years of by-passed dignity!

    How about plain Whoops!

     

     

    The Green and Whtye Brigands has a certain ring to it too.

     

     

    Yup it is the transfer of Whyte’s Sevco 5088 to Sevco Scotland that is the nub of the matter. Another Clip Art job kind of thing.

     

     

    And the msm want to parachute this toxic mess into a higher division too.

  9. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    rm reaction to Whyte revelations …… And you want them back, keevins

    they shouldn’t be trying to get into the top flight they should be the next Government.

    Thanks mate. They would fit perfectly into the pages of a ‘Penny Dreadful’ which now seems quite apt when I think of their sale price.

  12. Lets foget about oldco and newco board

     

     

    When is ours gonna back lenny and the fans ?

     

     

    When the walk gets to celtic park is there anything planned for then ?

     

     

    Really annoying when your a club like ours with the refs,media,sfa all against you and having digs our own board cannot even back the fans.

     

     

    Really let down these past few weeks. I did end my boycott of celtic merch when john reid stepped down.

     

     

    Boycott is now on again. Sadly

    Shame for the sevconians if all this is true-it seems as though everyone is telling the truth about telling lies about being economical with the truth in the first place.

     

     

    Or summat……

     

     

    Just wondering if any of them feel,well,duped-is that the word? Yes,duped,I would say so.

     

     

    Also wondering if the number of them who feel duped,including the MSM,the fans,and members of the government in Scotland,is a new world record.

  15. In whatever guise they are still the same horrible collection of individuals who have ridden(!) roughshod over the rest of Scottish fitba’ for the last 100 years, aided and abetted by the ‘succulent lambs’ of the msm.

     

     

    Different club with NO history – but one trophy SFL Division 3 – but with the same fanbase, and presided over by the same chancers and fly-by-nights!

     

     

    Horrible horrible peepul!

     

     

    I wish this latest incarnation of the beast a swift but painful death!

     

     

    HH!!

    Roy Croppie – “Are you kidding? You drink. You gamble. You have different women here practically every night. You’re the best role model a guy could want. Yeah, they should put your face on money.”

     

    — CBS’s “Two And A Half Men” Jake on whether or not his Uncle Charlie is a good role model.

     

     

    There you have it….they should put Chuckles and Wee Craigy on bank notes! :-)

  17. We are currently in a fight for the soul of our club.

     

    Do we as a club fight cheating and corruption, discrimination and the anti Celtic agenda.

     

    IMO we would be complicit if we stay silent.

     

    My call to Peter Lawwell…….fight for us big man, we need you to stand up for the clubs lifeblood.

    For one second there I thought, who is this Tommy that knows me so well? Good one :)

     

     

    printing their own bank notes could be their next scheme.

    Stop giving them ideas-you seen North Korea?

     

     

    BTW,pity you are on yer holibobs from the 25th-the 27th is building up a bit.

     

     

    Looks like being a good dayoot,judging from e-mails.

     

     

    If the new police force in Scotland is looking in,yer no’ invited.

    Merci.

     

     

    It was very disconcerting to have to go to the ‘newspaper’s’ website for the rebuttal and I couldn’t see the link to the piece you have posted. You are entirely correct in what you say about the prominence it has given to Charles Green’s counter-thrusts here.

     

     

    Apart from anything else, it seems clear that the practice of running copy past the Ibrox censors before publication is alive and well.

     

     

    I hope I never have to go to the Sun’s website ever again in my life. As fate would have it, within ten minutes of going there, I was at the ticket machine in Chester station to buy a ticket to come to Liverpool. The machine has had a sticker appended to it by the Justice for the 96 campaign, urging people not to buy the Sun. ‘Justice for the 96 – Justice for all,’ it said.

     

     

    Sometimes you can say a lot with a sticker.

    I’ve been ranting on about this aspect from the outset ……. There never was £22m handed over …… The institutional investors were handed millions of shares for 1p…..before the share issue …. Then the asset value was used to set the flotation value and, hey presto, the revised share value of £22m……. Then the institutional investors started buying and selling to each other, to keep the value ‘up’……. with the intention of selling ata strategic ‘moment’ … To whom, though …. LOL….This is possibly illegal trading …

     

     

    I’m not a financial person……..can anyone tell me where I have got it wrong, if I have..??

    I suspect you are onto something with your suggestion that this gruesome pair are still in cahoots.

     

     

    Can you expand on what you think their next moves will be?

    I have to agree,mate. He either stands up or he falls down.

     

     

    Our CE has been noticeable only-and,IMO,negigible-by his absence.

     

     

    He either supports us,or the authorities.

     

     

    Either way,he should explain why.

     

     

    And I doubt that the standard excuse of abiding by the law,an unjust law,will cut the mustard with a support with a history of rebellion.
