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.

  1. This is hilarious stuff, just how many encores will Sevco perform?

     

     

    Chuckles rebuttal is the most amusing, notice he puts all the claims of sweet talking Whyte on Imran Ahman? “Imran would tell him this or Imran would tell him that. We received a letter making claims against Imran”. If I was Ahman I’d be none too pleased, expect more internecine disputes over Sevco way.

     

     

    I bet this is just what Emmerdale would be like if I ever watched it.

  3. I’m struggling to understand why Green is being so open about lying to Whyte. OK Whyte has tape recordings but gees, just say ‘out of context’ or something !

  4. !!Bada Bing!! on

    If Whyte was trying to get a pay off from Challs,i’m sure he will have it all on tape.

    You couldn’t wipe the smile from my mush with a cactus this morning.

     

    Charles might have big hands but so has Craig – plenty of Tim’s giving him a big hand today.

    A great take on Greens portrayal of things SFA,SPL and all the clubs.

     

    Will be interesting to see how they veiw him now?

     

    Ps

     

    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.

    An Dun – If The Sun is to be believed, and I’ve no reason to think they’re misrepresenting him, Green was openly flaunting his bad faith in dealing with Craig Whyte.

     

     

    How will he find partners and investors willing to trust him with their money in future? (thumbsup)

  10. Charles Green has just had his Gerald Ratner moment, and we know what happened to him & his company!

    Tonight is the season finale of The Walking Dead.

     

     

    Will the savoury pastry addict, chuckles the clown and our hero put in cameo apperances alongside the sevcoidonian support.

     

     

     

    I hope Hollywood make this saga into a movie with Jack Black playing the pie whisperer:-)

    Have I ever told you before that both the MMB and Chuck were working for Moonbeams and that at a lunch in Embra both Jabba and cardihun were told about it AND that they would be looked after by been given meaningless well paid jobs.

     

     

    I am sure I did.

    yes the time long since passed but no club appears to be willing to kick in the door of the SFA,Why?

  16. Can’t stop laughing ‏@corsica1968 Protected account 4m Been told SevcoTV want to talk about Ellis. Here’s a clue; you’ve had ample time to engage honestly so you can get lost now.

    Kayal33 – poor Gerald Ratner.

     

     

    The comparison is unfair.

     

     

    Ratner was and is a talented businessman who inherited a struggling business and made it into a successful national retail chain. His mistake was to make some poorly judged jokes at the wrong time and to the wrong audience. He paid a terrible price for it.

     

     

    As far as I know, Mr Ratner never demanded special treatment for his business enterprises, nor has he ever boasted about “shafting” anybody. (thumbsup)

    For me the interesting thing is two articles on the same day. Claim and rebuttal in the same edition of a newspaper is somewhat unusual.

  19. Singapore: Three Lebanese referees charged with corruption for allegedly accepting sexual favours to fix a football match in Singapore were remanded in custody on Friday until their bail petition is heard.

     

     

    Referee Ali Sabbagh, 34, and assistants Ali Eid, 33, and Abdallah Taleb, 37, were brought to court one day after being arrested by Singapore anti-corruption agents on charges that could land them in jail for up to five years.

     

     

    The trio had been due to officiate in Singapore-based Tampines Rovers’ AFC Cup fixture with Indian club East Bengal on Wednesday when they were abruptly dropped and questioned by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB).

     

     

    Two questions about this,

     

     

    1. Were Russian Ladies involved?

     

     

    2. Did Chuckles supply them?

  20. Can’t stop laughing ‏@corsica1968 Protected account 3 Apr Maybe worth reminding ourselves at this juncture that Ellis put £nil into RFC yet expected 25% of shares for free from MBB. Court case?

     

    ——–

     

    Sir Barold Hatchback ‏@SackLongmuir 7m Was Malcolm Murray encouraging Paul Murray to return in an effort to usurp Green as CEO? I think we need to be told!

     

     

     

     

    Can’t stop laughing ‏@corsica1968 Protected account 3m @SackLongmuir or is it Green (biggest shareholder…cough) to Chairman and Longmuir to CEO?

  21. Snake

     

     

    Remember when Alex Thomson ridiculed James Traynor for emailing copy in advance to Craig Whyte and made the changes that Craig Whyte demanded before publishing it in the Daily Record?

     

     

    Looks like the Sun is doing the same thing. It probably always was.

  22. If Craig Whyte wants to make some money, he should put all his recordings on CD and sell it on Amazon. I’d buy it. :-)

  23. The deluded on DEADclub Media are only talking about the rebuttal article,

     

    There is a suprise :))

  24. Can’t stop laughing ‏@corsica1968 Protected account 2m Another wee Corsica reminder: Green, Whyte, Ellis & King all met in Switzerland last year pre-CVA fail.

  25. The Rangers Football Club has taken memberships at five Chambers of Commerce and launched a business alliance initiative as part of a bid to widen its commercial activities.

     

     

    Rangers Football Club has taken memberships at five Chambers of Commerce and launched a business alliance initiative as part of a bid to widen its commercial activities.

     

     

    Raj Athwal, the recently appointed commercial business manager, said the tie-up with the Chambers in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ayrshire, Perthshire and Renfrewshire will give the Scottish Football League third division champions access to thousands of potential customers.

     

     

    Mr Athwal said he brought in six-figure revenues using similar methods during previous roles at Coventry City and Watford.

     

     

     

    Is this the Coventry who are currently in administration? That Coventry?

     

     

    Watford? The Watford who were on the brink of administration before new owners came in?

     

     

    That is some track record Mr Athwal has got for raising finance…

  26. Corsica was a respected poster on RTC who sadly passed away,

     

    His baton has been picked up by someone else and is doing a fantastic job. IMHO

    “yes the time long since passed but no club appears to be willing to kick in the door of the SFA,Why?”

     

     

    We witnessed what fan power can achieve last year – the time has come to apply the pressure to Ogilvie and his ilk because time and time again they have been exposed for turning a blind eye to events at Ibrox. And they are never going to do the honourable thing and step down.

  28. Can’t stop laughing ‏@corsica1968 Protected account 1m Corsica prediction from last year: there will be a takeover within a year by “a rangers man” once toxicity is cleansed & pheonix cleared.

  29. Ah those Sevconians.

     

     

    You gotta love them.

     

     

    This is all such good fun.

    Celtic First

     

     

    Well the thing is we heard that the Craig Whyte story was due out on Tuesday or Wednesday but it was apparently pulled.

     

     

    Some to and fro has clearly gone on between PR people and the paper in question.

     

     

    Since when is a Rebuttal given bigger prominence on a page than the accusation and on the same day?

     

     

    You’d struggle to find the two stories breaking on the one day anywhere else.

    Munter media is in full scale meltdown. Real hun on hun action is providing excellent entertainment……………….. if you can stomach the place:-)

     

     

    On a more sinister note, Craig Whyte is recieving everything from harmless name calling to blatant death threats.

     

     

    The police should shut that cesspit of a forum down for good.
