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. Sir David Murray, the property and metals magnate who owned Rangers football club, has reported increased losses in his most recent accounts.

     

     

    For the year to last June, his Murray International Holdings company made a pre-tax loss of nearly £97m, some £10m more than the previous year’s loss.

     

     

    Sir Minty Moonbeams still has the Midas touch…

    Phil MacGiollaBhain ‏@Pmacgiollabhain 4m @seanmac76 I just want them to stop standing in line for PR fluff at Ibrox and go for the story. What is in the Sun today is just the start

     

    Ps

     

    I said at the time the bombers appointment was a sweetner to keep him in house

  4. .

     

     

    Just had a Text from a Good Source..

     

     

    That the Real Story behind when..

     

    Craigy met Charlie..

     

     

    Green sat Down and the First thing He asked Whyte was.. “What do You think of the Manager..?”

     

     

    Whyte Replied.. He is Brilliant..

     

     

    Green said well if You are Gonna Lie to Me.. I’ll Lie to You..

  5. All together now

     

     

    ” Let’s all laugh at The Rangers, let’s all laugh at The Rangers, hahaha, hahaha”

  6. The idiots on RM talking about Chuckles buying back the Arsenal shares the MBB sold…

     

     

    “The history behind the shares is what mattered, that is what was sold from under us, we can’t buy that back.

     

    Why waste money (and a lot of it) on something that won’t mean a thing? More importent things to spend money on……”

     

     

    So now they know, they can’t buy history….. Who would have thought it?

  7. I sincerely hope Our Hero has arranged 24hr security, and has a couple of minders on hand. Looks like he’s going to be a target for those lovely tolerant, yet superior, peepul.

     

     

    In the event of something happening to him in the future, I would just like to say, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING CRAIGY BHOY!

    Anyone who thinks C Ogilvie is not is on this whole scam to protect Murray ,Sevco and THEIR SFA cohorts(Passed & present) is not looking at the facts,IMHO

     

    This is bigger than Whyte & Green IMHO.

     

    Till later

     

    ____________________________________________________________________

     

     

    Ultimately, who is Ogilvie working for?

     

     

    Far too many questions remain unanswered.

     

     

    Campbell and Peter and even the trumpet at the new club are being instructed to do what they do, by someone, something or the PLC, yes the PLC, that should cover it. ……..

     

     

    ……wait and see as the drama unfolds…..

     

     

    And here is a Biblical tune that is so simple but oh so important, especially now as we become the top dogs through our sheer numbers, commercially.

    The MSM have managed to create a circumstance where anyone stating that trfc are a new club with no history is seen as being anti rangers and kicking them when they’re down etc. thats quite an achievement considering they are a new club with no history. When you have that much power on your side you probably begin to think you are invincible and can get away with anything, maybe they can.

    Phil MacGiollaBhain ‏@Pmacgiollabhain 16m I hope that the SMSM will now concede that it was correct to use the term “Sevco” rather than “Rangers” when discussing the Ibrox fiasco.

    Philip Yeates ex Sevco physio: “I had a meeting with Charles Green who intimated there was a company review and as a consequence my position was being made redundant. ”

     

     

    How do you run a football team without a physio

    Guys are any of you getting issues logging onto site with Google Chrome? It says there is malware on the site and blocking access. Before anyone asks I’m posting this from phone.

  14. I just love days like this on CQN.

     

    Brilliant chat

     

    Well done Bhoys.

     

    Keep it up.

     

    Very soon newco will go the same way as Oldco.

     

    Consigned to the rubbish dump of history.

     

    Indeed it is true. Our victory will be the laughter of our children, oh and maybe mammies, daddies and grandparents and cousins and pals and uncles and aunties.

     

    Hahahaha

    Can someone explain the link between Bomber Brown’s appointment as Dundee manager and Sevco.

    Paul the Spark

     

     

    That will be a YES from me, and, yesterday out of nowhere I received a flood of spam type email from persons I have never heard of before and seriously doubt they exist, never opened any, all contained hyper links.

  17. DUPED AGAIN LOL! Whats the termanology for one who is Duped is it a DUPER a DUPIST or a Dupender ? Suspect its open to debate but in the words of Goodman Lennon the stupid gulliable servconian wannabe huns might just be a shower of F@##/&S! !!!! Now wheres that craigy white mask! !!!

    The Blogger Formerly Known As GM – I’ll offer up masonic.

     

     

    As Kev will say – aff oot.

  19. Awe_Naw @ 13:05,

     

     

    That is the huuuge question.

     

     

    Who would have taken such an unorthodox risk with that cash?

     

     

    Why would you not be taking the perpetrators to book?

     

     

    And why would you let an asset you had security on slip away cheap in a firesale?

     

     

    Hail! HAil!

    GM

     

     

    I don’t get that either. It’s one thing Murray telling his pals at Dunfermline to appoint Jimmy Calderwood and telling Calderwood at the same time to accept the job as a staging post to the big job at the big hoose, but it’s surely far more difficult to tell John Brown that he can have the Dundee job if he keeps quiet and then actually have the Dundee people sack Barry Smith and appoint Brown in his place.

     

     

    Plus, Brown isn’t keeping quiet. On the same programme as Sandaza, Tommy in Glasgow phoned Brown and it was Brown himself who brought up the question of the deeds of the deid.

    ALLY MCCOIST wants the truth from Rangers supremo Charles Green amid claims Craig Whyte was involved in the new company set up by the club

     

    ——————

     

    ffs steak bake now in the hun saying he knew nothing

     

    nothing to do with getting durrant and wattie £ 50000 jobs

     

    and a load a shares in sevco

     

    plus chuckles has confirmed he will say anything to dupe someone

     

     

    JCGE

     

     

    jam67

  23. Afternoon, another piece of the jigsaw put in place with Green confirming his tie in with Whyte via Sevco. The rest of the clubs should now proceed with reorginisation and leave sevco where they are.Let Green and Whyte to fight over what money is left from the floatation. With £1mil per month loss the money is rapidly draining away.

     

     

    Happy Days

     

     

    Meanwhile on the park we want to focus on the double starting with sorting hibs out tomorrow and hoping the Mother get turned over by St mirren.
