Embarrassment for the guys at Newco who have to sign up to this guff

518

PSG were wonderful last night. They served up a great night of European football as we witness what may be the end of the greatest team of all time.

Mark Warburton fired his opening salvo against Newco with a joint statement with Davie Weir and Frank McParland issued through the League Managers’ Association today:

“We would like to formally place on record, that at no stage did we resign from our positions at Rangers.

“It is a matter of surprise to us, and to the League Managers Association, which is advising all three of us, that despite its detailed public statements, the club has not answered key questions put to it by the LMA, in writing, requesting an explanation of why it suggested that we resigned from our positions.”

I’m cringing with embarrassment on behalf of the guys at Newco who have to sign up to this guff, Stewart Robertson in particular, who has titular hands on the wheel but must feel like a hostage to fortune. This is not how he ran things at Motherwell.

More lawyers’ fees, more reputational damage, less chance of a credible future.

    Morning Bhoys just a little up date I visited my wife yesterday after her 11 hour operation on Tuesday she had so many tubes coming to and from her and machines binging and bonging it was scary but it is all part of her treatment.I am glad the operation is behind her and it will be approx.2 weeks before they know if she will need radio therapy treatment or not .I would also like to thank you all for your support and prayers she has a long way to go yet but you have proved to us if we needed proof that Celtic supporters are the best and we are more than just a football club.

    Am I the only one who feels sorry for the English couple on the train?

     

     

    Sitting there with your girl on a train minding your own business,looking out the window, happy as Larry…

     

     

    Only to be rudely interrupted by an old Portuguese cowboy!!

     

     

    Imagine.

     

     

    One can only presume that the old cowboy had drink taken, and the English couple were sober.

     

     

    Sitting there like nodding dogs, while the wise old sage waffles on about all that is wrong with the world.

     

     

    I’d probably have acted similarly, in sobriety – aye dead on muchaho, aye yer a million and one % right so ye are.

     

     

    In drink though, I’m afraid that the old Portuguese cowboy would have been politely told to go away and mind his own business.

     

     

    Then again,try to be diplomatic – a wee bit of Jim Reeves on the mp3 – and everyone is happy again,singing and drinking.

     

     

    Why can’t we all just get along?

     

     

    Peace to the Celtic nation.

    I will remember your good lady in my prayers.

     

     

    Please keep us posted with her progress.

     

     

    Best wishes to you both!

    A developing story? Shhhh don’t let the media know.

    You cannot arrest or ring fence money in advance at a Tribunal. You can through the courts!

     

     

    Sometimes, being the right kind of lawyer is not about going down the formulaic process of seeking a remedy in the way people expect.

     

     

    It is about taking the route and the method that is likely to secure the result as quickly as possible, and if that means bringing the opponent to his, her or its knees then so be it.

     

     

    Watch this unfold. As I said yesterday, if they arrest cash (and they don’t need to give any advance warning that they are doing so) then the whole house of cards can fall very quickly.

     

     

    If I were Rangers INT Plc or whatever they are called I would be lodging caveats with every possible court under the sun so that they are not taken unawares and by surprise.

     

     

    If the “professional” does that, you can expect to see a very early set of court hearings re this saga unless they start to negotiate very very quickly.

     

     

    There is no love for sale down at the five and dime.

    Sly sports news had a ticker tape running with a direct quote from Forrest owner that he not spoken to warburton…think it was either last Saturday or Sunday…..they won’t ask the question because they already know the answer. The interest came from a springbok dressed as Robin Hood………….in USA they call it entrapment in Glasgow they call it the sevco way…..

    Interesting wee article in my local paper recently — re- the Regional Consortium of Hotel Managers and B and B owners discussing problems associated with argumentative Brits arguing the toss about Brexit in the hotel bar / in the dining room / the breakfast room etc.. Guy who owns a hotel near the Valley of Temples at Agrigento was quoted thus –

     

     

    ” How can I maintain a happy hotel when English couples are shouting insults at each other in respect of how they voted in the Referendum. . I am seriously thinking of asking them all to refrain from discussing Brexit in my hotel. . It is not good for business when other guests are disturbed by our English guests loudly calling each other -” stupid ####### ***** / traitors ” etc..

     

     

    Lovely day – 22 degrees -way down south etc .

    The couple were fully engaged in the “chat” and were having a right good moan until the Portuguese Cowboy interjected.

     

     

    After that, the three happily exchanged views and opinions.

     

     

    Imagine being your average middle aged Glaswegian, minding his own business and heading out to a deserted fitba stadium who had to listen to the moans of Mr & Mrs Stoke on Trent and Hopalong Cascais!

     

     

    What’s more, you will find out soon enough that Butch Cascais follows me off the train and continues to talk — though, to be fair, he was interesting.

    Good news. Hope your wife’s recovery continues to be speedy and complete. You and she have lots of people on here thinking about/saying prayers for you both.

    I can assure you that me and the missus were not the Mr & Mrs Stoke -on-trent – cause i would have lamped him :))

    BRTH – I actually enjoyed the read to be fair chief.

     

     

    Was just imagining the scenario.

     

     

    I didn’t realise that they were complaining.

     

     

    Nothing worse than English people abroad gurning on a train a suppose,confined space.

     

     

    JFH – Good luck and all the best to you both, hopefully everything goes well.

     

     

    KTF.

    I don’t think an application to arrest on the dependence triggers a caveat.

    Enjoyed the story but the bit I struggled with was that you sat there and said nothing…:-)

  14. BRT&H

     

     

    And of course there is reputational risk? That wouldent come into it either, as they have no credit from any bank as far as I know that is,.

     

    So then that would fall on the share holders and board members for liability no? Yes?

  15. Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan on

    Ernie,

     

     

    You may well be right re arrestments though I was thinking of all sorts of interim orders etc — but hey my state of knowledge should be well out of date re current procedure.

     

     

    West End of East End.

     

     

    Ha!

     

     

    TD

     

     

    The personal liability of directors is complex but you would very quickly get to a situation where directors should consider if they are in a vulnerable position perosnally.

     

     

    Right, off oot — meetings to go to.

    Just thinking, I’m almost certain the last time a travelled on a train in Portugal there was no drink available for sale anyway?

     

     

    I can remember the pub at the train station in Faro it was only 85 cents for a bottle of beer – vague however no recollection of buying any alcohol on board.

     

     

    So the Jim Reeves scenario wouldn’t have occurred anyway, unless of course they let people bring a carry out onto the trains.

     

     

    Ah well.

     

     

    Moscow. (as they say in Russia)
