Commons and football intelligence

1244

Kris Commons return to the Celtic team on Sunday was enormously welcome, even if it didn’t produce his first goal of the season.  Kris has had a wretched season after arriving with a bang from Derby County in January last year.

He is not the most athletic or skilful player in the team but he has an abundance of football intelligence, well in excess of his contemporaries.  The cross-field pass for the second goal against St Johnstone was a perfect example.  Celtic players were rushing forward on a break, while defenders were flooding back.  To the annoyance of many sitting around me, Kris slowed things down, surveyed the field and switched play to Ki on the opposite wing.

This has been a great and memorable season for Celtic but there remains plenty to do.  An hour or so watching Kris Commons is enough to demonstrate the way forward.

  1. So much for the Fighting Fund! Lol!

     

     

    Up until March 31, Duff and Phelps have

     

    accumulated fees larger than the

     

    amount of money Rangers have earned

     

    during that time. Administrators claim

     

    their time costs are £1.1m. From their

     

    appointment on February 14 until the

     

    end of March, Duff and Phelps say

     

    Rangers have taken in just over £1m

    What carnage at Rangers. A potential net-debt of £134m? Let the word “custodian” never again be used for these Ibrox chancers. Vandals!

  8. Ok so the neanderthal show their wee red cards…………

     

     

    Does that represent a red hand salute or the fact they’ve been caught red-handed?

     

     

    (Probably both actually)

  10. Close Leasing is a secured creditor

     

    under the administration after it

     

    provided new equipment for Ibrox

     

    kitchen upgrades in a deal Mr Whyte

     

    secured against income from the

     

    catering contract at the stadium.

     

    In the report, Duff and Phelps said

     

    “indebtedness to Close Leasing Limited

     

    was approximately £1.6m, subject to

     

    accruing interest and charges” and

     

    discussions are continuing over

     

    repayment of this.

    “i think it will be cloer to 12p in the £, but, that is juts my thought!

     

     

    the figures don’t include the BTC, but do include the £27m to Ticketus.

     

     

    Tell ticketus to chase Whyte, win the BTC, 12p in the £, doddle

    Rangers Tax-Case ‏ @rangerstaxcase Reply Retweet Favorite · Open

     

    HMRC have 4,000 EBT cases to close. If you were HMRC, would you do an p/£ deal on the most prominent one?

     

     

    Next moonbeam will be along shortly please have your red boarding card ready shreddy..

  18. Seems to be a strong smell of Coffee in Bonny Scotland.

     

     

    Nice way to end a succulent meal I’d say.

     

     

    So RFC owe Glasgow Celtic monies and the Bhoys haven’t been responsible for redundancies.

     

     

    Does that mean we get an apology from Jim Traynor & Co?

    “We would stress, however, that if a CVA

     

    could not be achieved, bidders have

     

    discussed with us the next best alternative

     

    being the sale of the business to a new legal

     

    entity which would continue to trade as

     

    Rangers Football Club.

     

    “While such an arrangement is not desirable

     

    in so far as it would change the corporate

     

    entity, i.e, the registration number of the

     

    limited company, and would leave the Club

     

    facing European and domestic football

     

    penalties, it nevertheless could provide a

     

    platform to enable new and substantial

     

    investment into the Club to be made, which

     

    would in turn achieve the long term stability

     

    and viability of the business. As

     

    administrators, we would be in breach of

     

    our statutory duties if we rejected out of

     

    hand any legitimate proposal that asserted

     

    to secure the future of the Club.

     

    “This solution is not our primary objective

     

    nor our preferred option, however we

     

    would ask fans to understand that delivery

     

    of a CVA can only be achieved if purchasers

     

    are prepared to offer enough to provide a

     

    return to creditors at a commercially

     

    acceptable level. We do, however, believe

     

    this can be achieved.

  22. I thought ibrox was valued at something like a squillion quid, £134 million should not be a problem to them, must be some equity in the old crumbling pile!

     

     

    Unless it was overvalued by a pet surveyor to look good at accounting time!

  24. Jackie Mac, hope you enjoy the Easter break in our fine city. Sitting in Maddens Bar having a pre-liquidation pint:)

  25. Rangers EBT debts – £75m approx

     

    Total EBT debts to HMRC – £1.7bn approx

     

     

    Rangers owe 22.6% of the total owed.

     

     

    Decisions for HMRC

     

     

    Accept a pence in the pound agreement thereby creating a precedent for others to follow; or

     

    Resign yourself to the fact that you will get nowt from Rangers but in a very strong position to get full amounts from others.

     

     

    what would you do?
