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.

Thanks

Gene – they did. So King should have one lined up to take over tomorrow.
It is only the Company’s shares that are suspended not the teams shares.????

I understand from sources that the kit deal between Celtic and New balance will be several multiples of the current link up with Nike.
Phil MacGiollaBhain @Pmacgiollabhain 3 mins3 minutes ago
I reckon a deal two and half to three times the Nike deal would be nice.

Should find out soon enough
So, my understanding is, that due to the impending “landslide” for DK on Fri, Mike Ashley has withdrawn the remaining £5m promised, ergo, administration looms. King can’t provide proof of funding to keep them afloat, so the NOMAD resigns, suspending shares?
Is that about right?

How long is 40 years in dog years?
Supposedly, 40 ‘ordinary’ human years = 6 K9 years………..
‘Broony still running about like a maddie tho’………
Responding to inane ?s (only joshing HT) is symptomatic of me still being up at daft o’clock to watch the ‘TIC against the team from Saint John’s Town…..

You are right … they did say that. And a new board would want its own nomad. but, the interesting thing is this from the statement: “”The company has been informed that its nominated adviser does not believe that it can satisfy the London Stock Exchange in relation to its nomad obligations in respect of the appropriateness of the company’s securities to be admitted to AIM.”
Nomad resigns because it can’t do its job… which, in a nutshell, is to satisfy itself that the company can keep trading fairly (i.e., isnt insolvent). If it had MA’s money, it could likely argue that it could continue trading.
This does suggest that MA has said that he is not prepared to advance the further $5m, so either he will have to change his mind, or DK will have to come up with the money.
Big thank you to St Martins bhoy for the lift up to paradise tonight
3 pts tonight , play our best team , the up and coming games will take care of themselves.
Sevco’s Nomad doesn’t bother me but Celtic Bedouin tonight.

Nomader what they do Ashley may well take on King on the fit and proper issue

I Remember a Away Half time Video singsong something like..
‘The H*ns are Going Bust..Then someone shouting ‘AgAIN’ that seemed to Last the Full of Half Time..
Would be Great if a Replay of that Tonight only..
‘The Rebels have Won..’AgAIN’..would be a Great Tribute to the ‘Rebels’..

See when Paul puts that note up:

Anyone hazard a guess at which brand of running shoe has protected ole Jobo’s feet for the past 6 or 7 years, the most recent pair having been bought just last Sunday [from Sports Direct ;-)]?
This last few weeks people have been falling over themselves to say they always backed Ronny and have never said a bad word against him.
As Paul said, easy to do now.
To another Celt that currently divides opinions. ( there’s my opinion and then there’s everyone’s elses lol)
So before everybody jumps on the bandwagon and denies everything they ever said: I would like to emphatically state my position as Efe Ambrose’ number one fan. I love the big guy. How can you not?
People point to his ‘leetle moments’ he has but the only difference between his and the mistakes that EVERY OTHER PLAYER makes are the moans and groans that follow. VVD and Mathews can lose the ball twice as much and nobody bats an eyelid.
But Efe the big shagger puts a foot wrong and people go into meltdown.
Efe just keeps on going. Doesn’t let anything faze him.
Never injured. Never a bad word in the press. Never gives up. You the man Efe!
Don’t worry I’ll let you all join the AmbroseCSC once you’ve all caught up ;-) But i’m el presidente.
El Mad.
bournesouprecipe. I think both Armstrong and GMS also possibly Griffiths are injured so its wait and see. H.H.
Jobo,
Had my Nike for 10 years though looking worse for wear but still useable.
So you’ve had how many pairs?
P
PS yes, I use them every week, about 12 miles in total.
A King can not be a King unless he rules supreme over his domain

March 4, 1994 Fergus McCann rescues Celtic.
March 4, 2015: Trading in Sevco shares suspended on the London Stock Exchange.
Brilliant and deserving a bigger audience. Can I steal it for Twitter (after I count the characters)?

Jobo..Last time l met You l would say it was Nae Balance..Ha

King PR man Wilson – nothing to worry about blah blah. I well remember Jabba saying the same in December 2011 after Craigy failed to publish accounts. Yep – that was nothing to worry about was it?

Interesting
“What happens to the Nike ticks in the stands”
Well, I can’t New Balance being happy to leave them there… ;)
On a related note, am I alone in thinking it would be good to see the blocky “CELTIC” replaced using a much more Celtic-like font “CELTIC” instead?

El Madrigal, I’m with you. Love the big mhan. Loved his goal celebrations but they seem a long time ago now. Maybe tonight.

A few years ago my weekly mileage was considerably higher but I now average about 15 miles a week. I’m maybe bigger boned as I tend to change my shoes every couple of years (the previous pair becomes the ‘car washing’ pair and the one before them are relegated to ‘gardening duties’). New Balance been my favourites for most of this millenium.
El Madrigal………….
.Efe is awfy braw ………….wish we could see that gymnastic display over and over …..remember the first one ….>we have an athlete< said P67
go go the Celtic and let the footie flow ….like Nomads off a Huns back ….hehehehehehe

Jobo Baldie,
Lonsdale? ;-)))
King PR guy Wilson going on about the “business plan”!
1. Get tens of millions from, er, somewhere.
2. Get into the Champions League.
3. Everybody lives happily ever after….
Let’s hope we continue our good form from Sunday’s game tonight. We won’t get as much space as we did on Sunday with St Johnstone pressing up against Jason & Virgil. Our fitness should again be a positive for us.
I want to give this mob a gubbing, the disrespect shown by four St Johnstone players by not applauding us onto the pitch at the last game of the 12/13 season, still annoys me.
At least that carthorse Wright isn’t playing after getting booted in the coupon by a team mate on Saturday. Not a big John Eyal Berkovic type boot in the face..
I’ve just read the PFA are defending Simonsen against the proposed extension of his betting ban. That weasel, Wishart, is only ever seen or heard in his official capacity as SPFA representative, when it involves the G51 club.
Jobo Baldie. Fella I always said you were ahead of the game. H.H. : – )
Jobo @ 18.18
Gola?
