That whole ‘We don’t do walking away’ without a payoff business looks a little different this morning. Dave King has told the media Derek Llambias and Barry Leach are ‘demanding’ a payoff. It would be more likely that they have informed King of the terms of their contracts, which is all they are able to demand. Under the circumstances, it would be extraordinary if either ‘walked away’ from their contracts.
Contracts of employment are not optional. Terms have to be honoured, even if the employees’ services are no longer required, as I’m sure Mr Llambias’ solicitor will inform him when he discusses King’s threat to sue him for EGM costs. This easy-come, easy-go attitude to contracts is, well, shameless.
For what it’s worth, my money is on Llambias and Leach resigning in the hours before the EGM, once they have ensured business is sorted. This is the scenario King wanted, there’s no point complaining now it’s playing out.
World Autism Day
After their successful work with Downs Syndrome children, the homeless and many disadvantaged groups, next month the Celtic Foundation will embark on work with children with autism. A pilot project is currently being designed which will work to enhance each child’s wellbeing.
Autism is described in terms of a ‘spectrum’ as it includes people who live independently to those who require very specialised support on a daily basis. Recent decades have seen enormous improvements in understanding of the condition and on strategies to help, especially in children, which is where this pilot project comes in.
World Autism Day is 2 April and on that day the Foundation is holding its inaugural Golf Day (11 years behind the magnificent CQN Open) at Renfrew Golf Club. The event is supported by Ryder Cup winner Stephen Gallacher (who will not be playing) and a host of former Celtic players (who will be playing).
It’s a great initiative for the Foundation, reaching out into a new and important area, so if you’re a golfer and will enjoy a day on the course with friends and former players, go here to book.

King needs to find a Nomad prepared to say he has the funds and he is a good guy otherwise the shares are worthless as they cannot be traded,
==============================================
Mr. King………..I think that is what is termed as……….CLAMPED!!!

The Live Updates article will be up at 19:15, could someone leave a note here?
Thanks.
MA will get his money no matter what … but he would probably prefer to have them stay alive, and bleed them dry over time. I suspect that this is what will happen no matter if DK wins, but MA would rather not have the meddlesome DK around …. so this is possibly a way to get DK to put up or shut up, and perhaps force some of those who have swallowed DK’s crap to reconsider their vote on Friday.
But, as I said, I am still trying to figure this out … and normal rules dont apply when it is a battle between a megalomaniac billionaire (MA) and a seemingly pathological lying self aggrandizer (DK)…. so, it is interesting.
Mon the Hoops.
Three points a must tonight. Should be enough to kill off any lingering challenge from Aberdeen.
If there is an EGM, can there be a vote at all, as shares are suspended; therefore they can’t be used or can they?

Alfie Noakes – I don’t get involved in your political chat, but as you’ve wandered into football talk you need to understand it’s all about opinions. I’ve got to admit, I don’t like hearing the talk from the manager that we’re going to win the treble, I’d rather we won it first then spoke about it. And in case you didn’t notice he had a smiley after the comment about keeping it zipped ;-) you need to chill out more on your football chat.
The other stuff, knock yourself out as I (and hope most of us do ) ignore it…;
————————————————————————————————————-
Firstly – I don’t wander into football talk – I have been talking about, and supporting, the Celtic for over FORTY YEARS.
Secondly – I am well aware “it” is about opinions – I was giving mine.
Thirdly – I can see no smiley – in any case it would have that distinction makes no difference to the point made.
Fourthly – I will defend unfair comment against Celtic from all comers – even if they purport to be on ‘our’ side – e.g. Walker, Sutton, Hartson, Nicholas, Provan et al !
Fifthly – I DON’T need to “chill out”
Sixthly – You obviously don’t ignore “it”
Of course you won’t be reading this……will you?

I defend my entitlement to my opinion and to challenge others – the ‘ganging-up’ is “water of a duck’s back”
I will not be silenced because I outside of the ‘clique’
I abide by the rules and etiquette of the forum at ALL times.
What’s the problem?
Do you think my face painting gig at Snake Mountain for the EGM will go ahead.
I already had to scratch David Somers from the list (he wanted a tiger but I told him it wasn’t a good idea to run around the place shouting RA).
James Easdale was on the list and so was WH Ireland I guess they won’t be coming either.
It was cash in hand too, the strange “bug eyed” guy who booked me told me not to worry about PAYE or NI. He never did apparently.
Ah well. Anyone use 6 gallons of orange face paint?

I’m now finding that when I log into CQN at this time every day, I’m scrolling through the pages till I find your post with today’s diary entry. It’s become totally compulsive but at the same time, difficult and sad reading. Couldn’t miss it for the world though.

Including tonight Celtic have five games to play before the end of March, including the midweek league match away against Dundee on the 18th, one that seems to have appeared out of the ether. Thing is though, before the month is out Scotland, and presumably other National teams, are scheduled to play two games one a friendly, and one a Euro qualifier. The friendly, is in Belfast I think, against the much improved local team, with the qualifier due to be played against Gibralter, at Hampden. The dates for both are March 25 and 29, and we can be sure some of our players will be involved, if not for Scotland then for somebody else. Not the best scheduling I would have thought, especially the Dundee game, but I guess it had to be fitted in somewhere. Point being fit or no, lot of football to be played in a short time, not easy to win every club game. That said Celtic will be first pick on the Acca, with Norwich 2nd, Liverpool 3rd etc etc

See when Paul puts that note up:
– what does he mean by “…leave a note here?”
– how would you go about leaving “…a note here?”
– what happens if you manage to “…leave a note here?”
– where is “…here?”
Eh?

Rumour has it that Bitton isn’t playing tonight and that Johansen will take the deeper lying role. Efe at left back again and Griffiths to start. GMS, Armstrong and Stokes behind him. Allegedly.

Lot of games, scheduling would have been interesting if we had got through v Inter but…….
We’re so good to watch right now, love a game every few days
I’m not sure L&L would leave themselves professionally exposed to trading while insolvent unless they have a get out
I think tomorrows EGM at Ibrokes could be a tad stormy. H.H.
The intolerance of many who should know better, of Alfie’s opinions is unbecoming of a Celtic blog.
Courtesy, or scrolling by costs nothing.
For what it’s worth, only football matters have any real relevence on the blog and political nonsense, from left, right or centre are a major distraction and a guaranteed cause for dissension and acrimony.
Everyone’s opinion is equally valid or invalid.
Stick to the fitba’ and leave the rest for City Hall.
Sorry Fridays. H.H.

That and a possible Scottish Cup replay, (seen it done against Partick back in the day, got a big crowd, and a big score at the Park) might have caused us problems. Play the players who are fit when possible!
HT,
How long is 40 yrs in dog years?
I would estimate about 5 -7 posts a day. .
Happy Celticing. .
Not sure why all the excitement about the nomad resigning- I am sure they made it clear some time ago that if king won they were off
