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.

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

    Money and Masonry or is it Masonry and Money. Shut up ya tit and we will look after you soon enough, even kick a good man out of his job, because we can do that.

     

     

    I posted on here a few years ago that a guy from Liverpool had his Son involved (early ages) with Dundee, or perhaps Dundee Utd and once we developed the conversation it was plain to see that Masonry and the Helping Hand is at work all over the place, especially in Scotland, and certainly, I would Edin Hazard a guess, all over the World. Every particular microcosm is valid and should be looked at.

    Which dollop of the cream of Scottish refereeing is doing our game tomorrow?

    RE who owns Ibrox, it’s been a long time since I earned a crust by doing any conveyancing but aren’t title registrations in Scotland a matter of public record?

     

     

    And can’t anyone who is interested and willing to spend a couple of bob do a search against a property to check who the registered proprietor is and whether there are any secured debts against the title?

     

     

    Any one with an interest and a few coppers to hazard could try the Registers of Scotland site http://www.ros.gov.uk/shp_info.html

     

     

    or a professional Searcher like http://www.millar-bryce.com/

    Now why didn’t Bomber just do that instead of spending his last giro on buckie and Rabble Rousing For Dummies? Could have saved us all a lot of trouble.

    Bada,

     

     

    Probably done on the say so of Campbell O, no need for proof!)

  5. Tony Mowbray’s response to rumours that his Boro squad is in melt down and being asked if team spirit was still ok. He has to be the worst Celtic manager ever…

     

     

     

     

    “I would suggest so. The players took it upon themselves to have a huddle the other day which was not prompted by me. I think the group are hurting as much as we all are hurting, the fans, the management, the players. If there was an easy answer it would have been addressed and dealt with.

     

     

     

    Football club dressing rooms are easy to manage when you’re winning. Nobody listens to the boys that are not playing, if that makes sense. The rest of the squad bring them in and keep them going and keep them involved.

     

     

     

    As a manager I can only pick eleven to start and I can only pick seven subs. When you are losing of course the boys that are not playing all think they should be playing, especially when you don’t win another game. The players who don’t even make the eighteen can’t understand why they are not in the eighteen and that can ultimately cause some discontent, I understand that, that’s football. You try to deal with it. I talk to my players as much as I feel is necessary. If I see a problem, you deal with they have to perform. And yet, bottom line they have to deal with it themselves, if they’re in the team, they have to perform, if they’re not in the team, its probably because someone in their position is doing a decent job or they’ve been in and haven’t done the job.

     

     

     

    Football is a harsh business. Football management is a harsh business. For football players its a harsh business. I can only pick as I say eleven players and seven subs. Can I keep everybody happy? No. So, as a manager you don’t try to keep them happy, you pick the team you feel can will win. Because when you are winning the dressing room looks after itself really and the more senior players have a huge part to play in that.”

  6. Matthew 22:20-22

     

     

    King James Version (KJV)

     

     

    20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

     

     

    21 They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.

     

     

    22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

     

     

    Willie got the Fenerbache gig last night, some will mock that and some will proclaim that as something.

     

     

    The corruption stinks and points at one culprit. MAN. Or to be more exact, the Fall of Man.

     

     

    What is the solution?

     

     

    It is easy for me to see as I have poor hearing.

  7. david murray was the instigator of all thats unfolding, the murray msm was crucial in all of this, now watch bdo taking all back and selling to what is termed realrangers men and how everything will be done properly and poor rangers [as they will say] were victims in a fraud and it was not their fault and they will not be punished for deception by shysters and the creditors will get more money now that real honest rangers men are at the helm and proper money will be paid for assets maybe 5.6 million.

    Police warn a procession @ Celtic rally in Glasgow tomoro “would be illegal & those involved could find themselves subject to prosecution”.

  9. For all this is hilarious, and the spivs are tearing each other to bits.

     

     

    I said many moons ago that this would happen, I also said that real hun men would take over after admin/blended a second time.

     

     

    The cabal will not let them die, that is a fact.

    Asonofdan- I dont think Mogga was Celtic’s worst ever manager; he took the job when no one else wanted it.

    Kayal33 – when the rally ends and lots of people start walking towards the ground, I wonder if this constitutes a procession?

  15. Cops warn those at FAC rally “Don’t block the roads as you leave the square” & urge fans to use three designated routes to Celtic Park.

     

     

    Did the zombies not block roads in their march on Hampden last year?

     

     

    Does the Orange Order not block roads on a weekly basis?

     

     

    It seems the polis have learned nothing from the shambles on the Gallowgate.
