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.

Jim Goodwin has spoken in support of Neil Lennon.
He said that the charge would not have been made if it had been someone else.
This seems to me like he is impugning the integrity of SFA and its officers.
He may be next on the charge sheet !
I know the Sevco fans are a different breed and full praise to Paul67 for strictly ensuring that there is no offensive language on this site as hun lurkers would only love to drag us down to their level. However the current thread on RM re the new Agent Whyte revelations has plumbed new depths of depravity (if that is possible). Strathclydes finest are reputed to be monitoring football threads, if so there is enough hatred & bile on this thread to keep them occupied for weeks. Why no action against these retrobates who are actively spreading hatred & incitement to violence.? Why are they not cyber-kettled for a start.

Or to put it another way– why everyone who reads this blog is a potential criminal in the eyes of the law and why and how anyone who inhabits the board room at Celtic Park will be stabbed in the back and the front no matter who they are.

Let’s get sevco out of the way…… There has been an anti-Celtic agenda for circa 100 years …. Once they are out of the way, the agenda will change ……. Patience, we are nearly there …. Our Board don’t want to give them an excuse to demonise us, in favour of ‘diverting the focus’ and generating sympathy for a Club who have seriously shafted Scottish Football ….. The end-game is in sight…..
More good news? From SkySports (don’t give them the hits!)
————————————————————————
Celtic midfielder Kris Commons is set to make a quick return to action after suffering an ankle injury in last weekend’s 1-1 draw at St Mirren.
Commons was stretchered off in first-half stoppage time at St Mirren Park after colliding with his team-mate Beram Kayal.
The 29-year-old, who had put Celtic ahead in the sixth minute, required prolonged treatment before leaving the pitch and there were fears he could face a lengthy absence.
However Commons underwent a scan on Thursday which showed no serious damage and he is hoping to be playing again in the near future.
The Scotland international tweeted on Friday morning: “For those askin about my injury, I got the all clear from MRI yesterday so hoping to be back very soon.”

‘Ernie Lynch
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?’
No idea.
But I suspect nothing is as it appears.

Exactly my thoughts on so many issues and why it is important that we do make a stand and are heard. I put the very point re concerts etc to an officer searching me at Celtic Pk earlier this year but you have to be careful who you try and communicate with. He didn’t look up for dialogue.
My motivation for tomorrow is for the next generation and I ‘m terrified that my bhoy will be criminalised due to this ridiculous bill.
Good point re what Fergus Mccann would do and the GB should pay for any damage to seats.
More power to your pen sir.

Morning all. Beautiful day down here once again. This is becoming the norm. Quel surpris.
My mate phoned to say that Whyte is suing Greene, acc to Clyde. Is this the story that was supposed to be in thew sun yesterday??? Has the HMRC any chance of getting money from Whyte if he wins the case. This just gets more enjoyable by the day.

Great piece of writing sir, hat doffed. I hope you put your writings in a book.
I must admit though I would look for drugs if someone went to a Cliff concert.

TBB,
Perhaps the Whyte Tornado, (older readers may remember the ad on TV)
To those emoting about “fighting to save the club’s soul”, please count me out if you are hoping to instate the likes of Jeanette Findlay in place of the Board. Anyone who tries to manipulate the support for their own end’s is not my idea of someone to lead our Club.
Morning, not been on lately as been full of a lot of bitterness since the Aberdeen game and best not to post when feeling like that.
Apologies first of all for my conduct after that game on here. Raging bull that night.
Tomorrow is a time for the Celtic family to stand steadfast and support each other and get back to what we do best in times of adversity.
Hail! Hail!
Oh! as I type 5000 Sevco shares waiting to get punted on the exchange. Going to be a long day for Chuckles…
WELL WELL WELL
Agent Craig strikes again,
Anyone who thought he had just walked away were deluded :)
I’m just away to pop over to DEADclub media to see how they are taking it.

Campbell!
Is this latest Sevco offering not bringing the game into disrepute? Or have the SFA brought the game into disrepute themselves by authorising a liscence when they obviously did not know any real details of the business when they did??
Campbell!….

This will be the same Craig Whyte that Challs said he had no dealings with,never met etc.The best bit is Challs does not totally dismiss that Whyte has a claim to something.
Good Morning,
Even if the fundamentals of the two articles prepared by the Sun newspaper are correct, then Scottish Football is in a very dangerous place this morning.
Let’s be clear– the first article appeared with the headline Charles Green played upfront for me– Craig Whyte– and the second contained a more expansive explanation by Green as to why Whyte’s claims were rubbish and delusional— thus with a shift in emphasis towards the Green version of events.
However, even the shortest and most cursory examination of this story and the comments allegedly made take us back in time and leave the most awkward of questions.
It would appear to be undisputed that Green came into this whole mix at the instance of Whyte. He was introduced as a frontman for Whyte and his crew to buy back the hulk of Glasgow Rangers in some shape or form.
That was his job.
It is also not disputed that Whyte could not be seen to be anywhere near this purchase and so his connection to the whole deal was hidden— hidden from Rangers Fans, Hidden from the footballing authorities and indeed the press.
Now, let’s stop there– go back to all those reports of negotiations– pre CVA rejection—post CVA rejection– when Charles Green was supposedly meeting with Stuart Regan, Neil Doncaster and anyone else.
Were they told that Green was an “agent” for Mr Whyte or were they told that he was the prinicpal, the main man, with backers in the far east and so on?
Where do the men at the top of Scottish Football stand on what their understanding was a year or so ago?
What about Duff and Phelps? What was their knowledge and belief? Were they mislead in anyway as to Green’s position compared to Whyte’s?– and from there we have to ask the question just how and in what way did they report the sale of assets to the court to whom they are answerable?
However, let’s move on because it seems from the Sun report that Whyte and his colleagues asked Zeus to raise money on their behalf so that the assets could be bought.
Does anyone see a denial of this suggestion either in the article or from Charles Green?
Further, it is suggested that Green and others will be Whyte & Co’s “representatives” on the board of the purchasing vehicle– namely Sevco.
Again– can we see any denial that this is so?
No– if anything Green confirms this position and says that this was the case but— and the next bit is crucial— all of that changed when the CVA was rejected and liquidation was imminent!
Well examine that if you dare:
Does anyone remember a deal being struck with D&P which would go through one way if the CVA were approved and another if the CVA were rejected?
Green trumpeted that the CVA was essential to keep the history but stressed that there would be an asset buy if that did not happen– remember those who said it was essential to keep the big hoose open– and that this was guaranteed by Green doing a one way or another deal.
In any event, the assets were in fact bought by the very company that was set up to be a vehicle for Whyte- but fronted on his behalf by Green– and only later were the assets transferred to another very similar sounding company.
No matter which version of events you choose to believe– if there is in fact a difference between the two— what both parties seem to confirm was that the entire transaction to purchase assets from Rangers PLC and gain a place anywhere in Scottish Football started out and revolves around either Whyte and Green acting together or Green using the Vehicle that was set up by Whyte for his own purposes and failing to mention the initial role of Craig Whyte in the same company and finance raising structure.
That being so– and given that The Rangers Football Club have been given conditional and extraordinary status in terms of their legal standing within the football structure in Scotland— do the SFA, the SPL and the SFL– and all the chairmen who make up those bodies– do they feel that they have been given full and frank disclosure by Mr Green when he was making his representations to them re membership and admittance to the league structure?
Has Charles Green played with a straight bat? Has he been open and transparent in his dealings with Scottish Football let alone Craig Whyte, and does the most recent article suggest that the football authorities should look into this matter further?
Also, it has been apparent for some time now that Mr Green has a tendency to make statements and pronouncements that are either later contradicted or which do not come to pass or fruition. There are many instances of him proclaiming many a thing and taking a standpoint which later turn out to be not quite correct.
is this something that should be a concern to Scottish Football especially when we are repeatedly told that the well being of Rangers is essential for Scottish Football going forward?

You out for a few beers after game on Saturday ?

Yes, but we now have (at long last) the opportunity to rid Scottish Football of them altogether…… Patience and depriving them of ‘ammunition’ is the correct current strategy…
Hi all,
Has anyone seen Campbell cannae find him anywhere?
Went to DEADclub media
The hatred and sick wishes towards CW is Sinister.
He is making it up , well just for,
____________
But 1 post asks
So, Green admits lying to Whyte, telling anything he wants to hear!
who’s to say he hasnt been doing that to us all along as well?
Am I reading this correctly?
The owner of rangers (CW) formed another company, Sevco 5088 Ltd, to purchase the assets of the soon to be liquidated club at a greatly reduced price. His front man (CG) almost immediately transferred those assets to his own company, Sevco Scotland Ltd, without the consent of CW and then floated this company on the AIM market.
1. Was the transfer of assets from one of CW’s companies to another at a reduced value an atempt to defraud the creditors of the soon to liquidated club? Would this be classed as Gratuitous Alienation?
2. Is CG admitting he ripped CW off? If he was aware he had no title to the assets included in the share prospectus has he misled the investors who bought into the floatations?

Green said:
“What we had to do at the start was get the confidence of this guy for him to give us the shares, to give us the debentures, to do a whole raft of things.”
Isn’t “getting the confidence of” what a conman does?
Whither the scrofulous cash strapped hillbillies the day?
Shock horror chico admits to being a snivelling lying scumbag…but only to save The Rangers, honest mister. Good stuff my face muscles were almost getting back in shape.
67Heaven too right mate, the board should do their job and leave the emotive stuff to ..the green brigade , who like it or not , and sometimes they remind me of me and annoy me , they are our future.
Stand up for Celtic, the champions and after a great season looking to doing even more Euro damage next year. WHo would have thunk we could have almost got 4 points from Barca. eh. What a season. Thems deid, finito, goneburgers by the by. Hail Hail.
Surely Green could not have transferred assets belonging to Whyte without a signiture or agreement?
I love Craig Whyte – love him. (sighs).
hehehe – stupid monorail buying huns.

Still working on it mate. I think some friends are planning a visit on Saturday night but it may be that next Saturday would suit better. I will know tonight, but I am hopeful that I can get for a few after the game.
You heading to bar67.

Some mhan ……. Their license should now be in jeopardy……. Brilliant stuff…!!!!!!!!
The exiled tim @ 10:22,
That was my take…
He states he only said that stuff to get the Whyte Knight’s confidence.
A trick to get the shares if you will.
Ergo
A Confidence Trick
Sure is a shame the blogs down, would love to read RTC’s take on this.
Still here is my take…
I have been wrong, very wrong, it seems oldco and newco are the same Company/Club.
AND
If the MBB is to be believed not only do they own the RFC history but my guess the debts and liabilities also.
Lets face it when Craig says the reason he didn’t want to front the NewCo bid was due to the adverse publicity, it sounds very true.
Probably also the fact that he had a lifetime ban from Scottish Football had something to do with it.
Now who actually owned those assets that changed hands as well, possibaly didn’t want a whole load of due dilligence on that stuff now.
Think he was smart with the low profile.
How smart he was doing business with a confidence trickster, well time will tell.
Hail! Hail!
