Walls are closing in on Dave King with the news that the Takeover Panel were granted a court order to force the Newco chairman to offer to comply with count instructions that he buy out shareholders outside his concert party. Money for the offer, totalling £11m, has to be in place before it can be made, which is the sticking point.
While all of this MAY be no more than an administrative oversight, Newco have just announced the resignation of two directors: Paul Murray and Barry Scott. Murray, a director of former Rangers, has been an absolute charm. How Newco will survive without his Midas Touch is unknown.
Directors of a business are liable for its conduct, have a duty to protect the interests of all shareholders and creditors. If they fail in this duty, they can be prosecuted. Paul Murray was a close ally of King, especially during the years the Glib and Shameless one agitated to get control of the club he supported all of its life. To paraphrase Deepthroat, follow the rats off the ship.
The Newco experiment has failed. It is a shambles at every level, drowning in toxicity, with regulatory, legal and funding challenges out with its control – and things are not going too well on the field either.
Remember, current custodians and fans groups chased the Easdales (actual benefactors) and one of Europe’s richest men (who loaned Newco five players), out of town. For what? They knew the money they had. They knew there would not be a Nomad in place “within 48 hours”. They were not Fergus McCann-type newbies to football, they knew the resources required to run a football club.
They knew all of this better than you or I, but we were the ones pointing out the blatantly obvious.
Where is the Mea Culpa from those who led the fans? Who is there left with clean hands? When will fans be told how bad things actually are (they are very bad, btw)?

Kind words DD Enjoy what will be a fantastic evening in great company
Going on a four day break so would have missed the event glad to hear your attending

Ahead of the 10th anniversary of Tommy Burns death, Cannon Tom White has writtena personal reflection on Tommy Burns.
KTF
To be fair when we got Brendan Rodgers we thought we might get Stevie G too. If he takes the job, while he would be crazy, he will make a difference to them, and we all know he can only go upwards!
Unlike souness Gerrard won’t have the same hold over the SFA and is unlikely to get the same favours.

Lovely words about Celtic and Calton legend Tommy Burns from Canon White. Great read to start the day. Thanks F.

I look forward to thedat when the story reads “Directors’ bail” as opposed to “Directors bail”
HH
The day
Morning all, has there been any news on whether Celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs and Motherwell have had the UEFA competition license applications approved yet? Foregone conclusion surely?
I might be forgetting another club, but I’m sure they won’t have any bother either…
Word of The Day
Hornswoggle /ˈhɔːnˌswɒɡəl/
verb
1. to cheat or trick; bamboozle
2. to swindle, hoodwink, or hoax.
Word Origin and History for hornswoggle

“to cheat,” 1829, probably a fanciful formation. Related: Hornswoggled ; hornswoggling.
KTF
I’m booking a table at Coias (10:30am) for breakfast before the Aberdeen game. let me know who wants a seat so I can ket Fredo know the numbers.
Also considering a table at 1 o’clock for the cup final with a taxi booked for Hampden. 4 places available for that.
KTF
saw a question somewhere the other day.”who were the 6 players who made only one appearance during seven in a row”
emdy know who the six are.i got one ,the young centre forward who came on against MOTHERWELL and scored with his first kick.
? 2 for Aberdeen game please.
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn’t anybody tell her?
Didn’t anybody see?
Sunday’s on the phone to Monday
Tuesday’s on the phone to me
VFR
You forgot to provide an example of the word being used in context e.g.
“I wash born here, an I wash raished here, and dad gum it, I am gonna die here, an no sidewindin’ bushwackin’, hornswagglin’ cracker croaker is gonna rouin me bishen cutter.”
That should clear up any ambiguities.

See to be fair, I think that fresh investment at Ibrox could very well materialise…
…after the next bout of administration…
FAVOURITE UNCLE
Ooooh, that’s a good question, and I think I’ve got a cracker of an answer for one of them. I’ve somehow managed to pluck this out of the recesses of my mind (but I’ve not checked properly yet).
I think Paul Slane will be one of them…
Jackson Irvine?
Jack Atchison…
SFTB, I will leave that to the more erudite poster such as your good self ?
KTF
Hoops legend wee Carlton Cole?
Good morning good ghuys from a dry but chilli North Glasgow
1 more day until I am back to work… ???
Anyway watched the game again, and Watched Murtinhio’s pre match press talk… My goodness he should be glad he is out of the bigotdome, to me he looked like a broken man before a ball was kicked on Sunday. He also said that all the talk of Gerard has affected him personally. They are scum over thier, they should have showed some decency and told him what was happening. The sympathy stops thier for him I’m afraid as he should have walked after the DK letter to ST holders, I know all about having to pay bills etc, but he won’t be short of a bob or two.
VFR brilliant read about the late great TB.
Davidopoulos and what about the Compliance Officer??????
D. :)
Sheesh
‘We’re gonna need a bigger Coia’s’

Word on the street (the Timternet) is that the Compliance Officer has done his bit – he just seems to be having difficulty getting anyone to read his oeuvre. It seems that that job has been left to the new CEO Maxwell, who conveniently doesn’t start until 2 days after the season ends, and then he’ll need some time to get his feet under the table, and he’ll be busy going to Mexico and Peru as part of the Scottish National Team delegation, and before you know it the new season will have started and he’ll be super busy with all that stuff.
You see, there just doesn’t seem to be any time for justice.
(All of this is tongue in cheek and I fully expect Mr Maxwell to do the right thing)
Marcus Fraser? Maybe DD can confirm.
Wanted
Two Cup final tickets not corporate,
just normal Cooncil Tickets .
Apply within CSC
Coia’s is offerin’ ole square sausage on bruschetta and café Americano.

Davidopoulos cheers I knew it was on his desk. But feck all had been done yet.
Marcus Fraser was one indeed
The question was on radio Snyde I mean Clyde the other night
D. :)
My friends in Celtic.
A big shout out to Erin Slaven, Orlaith Duffy and Mikaeta McKinley.
SFTB touched on this yesterday. They asked and Celtic responded.
Another first in Scotland for our female fans.
Some posters have questioned our clubs sound bites. Well in Scotland we can categorically say without fear of contradiction, we are a club like no other.
Well done Celtic and a big HH to our female supporters.
WEETIM @ 3.42
As I see it, it was not Souness granted favours, but the hun, so Gerard will get the same help, rest assured.
I just cannot see why this story is getting so much air time everywhere, why?
I am well aware that, like the royal family, huns ARE the establishment and no stone will be left unturned in their efforts to assist, so no matter what we say or do, sadly, they will prevail, make no mistake about it.
The only way we can do something is to boycott cup games in Scotland, but if we do that, then we simply have to say why we are doing so, could be a huge story methinks.
Off to play some gowf
KINGLuBO
Perspectives –
James Pallotta – billionaire Chairman / co owner of Roma FC .Also co owner of Boston Celtics .
Fab rant re mistake strewn officiating and UEFA’s refusal to have VAR in the Champions League costing Roma all the money you earn from being in the Champions League Final .
Eusebio Di Francesco -Manager of Roma —
Yes — there were Refereeing howlers but there’s no point in talking about them -nothing would change . Negative energy etc . Rather talk about and learn from our mistakes in both games and how we improve for the future .
Radja Naingolan –
Yes -denied two penalties but its not as though they came when we were 4 -2 up and certain to score them . We lost because we defended badly and some of us made dreadful mistakes.. I handed them tonight’s opening goal on a plate you can’t do that

If there’s a spare seat in Coia’s, before the Aberdeen game, I’d be happy to park my ample posterior on it.
