Financial Fair Play, Winding Up Orders, new CQN Magazine

868

Scottish clubs are now subject to Uefa Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations which insist club’s pay creditors in a timely manner or become subject to sanctions.  These pesky rules should prevent debts reaching a maturity of more than six months old and becoming subject of a Winding-up Order.  I am sure old Heavily Conflicted, also known as the SFA president, will have sprung into action on hearing recent news.

The Rangers yesterday issued a short statement following Channel 4’s story that Orlit Enterprise threatened a Winding-Up Order, insisting, “Rangers Football Club is capable of meeting any debts presented legitimately and we would like to stress to our supporters there is no threat to the Club whatsoever”.  They really need to stay on-message… football clubs are never threatened; it’s only the Company which can be liquidated!  Apparently.

I hear Charles Green is on an international bucket collection, Dubai and then onto Australia.  Meanwhile, it is crucial no one disturbs his important work.  When you think of the people who could have taken ownership of Ibrox last year, he has been absolutely perfect.

On other matters……..

The new edition of CQN Magazine is out and available for your consumption.  Written by and for Celtic fans, it is another Celtic joy!

I’m also delighted to report we have been seriously diss’ed by the Italians ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League game. Notes for the dressing room wall coming up soon!

    It would have to be our best chance to push through a move to england.

     

     

    Sorry if already coverd

     

     

    We should be doing anything and everything to get out of scotland.

  2. Chuck should read proverbs

     

     

    A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.

  3. One to remember when arguing with Der Hun.

     

     

    If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.

  7. Re Celtic publishing contract with Trinity Mirror and Blotto’s jaundiced view, he fails to mention that the old Rangers News (RIP) was, like the CV, published by First Press Publishing, a subsidiary of the Daily Record a few years ago.

     

     

    The company who later won this contract CRE8 Publishing went under in 2011 owing Celtic £400k and old Rangers £500k.

     

     

    But why let the facts get in the way of a good lie!

  8. Proverbs 23:9

     

     

    Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the good sense of your words.

     

     

    A very wise sentiment.

    Charles has told Ally to put all the money collected into the coin-operated piggy bank under the stairs.

     

     

    That should keep the lights on a bit longer…..

  13. Wonder how the SPL enquiry into sectarian singing at Ibrox during the match in February 2012 is progressing? Must be nearly time to report on that one.

  14.   ‘The Louden Tavern: Ibrox Stadium presents: An Evening with Charles Green We are proud to announce that we will be holding a Question & Answer with Charles Green on Friday 22nd February starting at 8pm. Tickets will be a £10 donation with profits from ticket sales going to The Rangers Charity Foundation. ‘

     

     

    Profits …profits how many pence in the pound would that be? Must have some overheads. Peter Lawell and Neil Lennon never charged when they did their q&a sessions and the Celtic club l saw them in never charged.

     

    Where there’s muck there’s brass . Brass neck too.

  15. Celticbhoy

     

     

    Anyone heard where the monies from the Dundee United match went? I’m sure Chuck said they would be donated to charity. Gone quiet on that one.

  16. Listening to Lenny’s press conference on SSN it sounds like its going to be a weakened team tomorrow. He said he won’t be taking any chances and expects fringe players to step up and produce.

  17. I'm Neil Lennon (tamrabam) on

    Son of Gabriel

     

    Just for info, you can buy a single share in celtic through various mobs

     

    One of them was called something like computa save, there may be others too

     

    In reality you will pay around £25 quid for a single share (which in reality is only worth a pound or so) and then you will get the certificate for the wall and the invite to the AGMs etc

  18. Resignation and redundancies followed administration with the club captain being made redundant mid-season. With deteriorating internal relationships, declining morale and takeover plans never a realistic option and no ground or players the death of the Gretna club followed as sure as night follows day.

     

     

    Gretna were replaced in the SFL by Annan Athletic FC and the recent weeks since the passing have seen Gretna supporters form a new club called Gretna FC 2008 and they now play in the East of Scotland Football League, where Annan previously played. Although sharing a common fan base and similar name the two clubs share no legal connections other than representing the town of Gretna.

     

     

    How does the above not apply to RFC ?

  19. What times is Allys weekly press conference today?

     

    Will he mention anything about the unpaid bills?

     

    Will he use it as a dog whistle to set yet another world record at a sash bash against QP?

     

    Both him and Walter very quiet, FPLG has an excuse after last week.

  20. I’m Neil Lennon (tamrabam)

     

     

    I got one of those as a Christmas gift last year. I didn’t have the heart to tell the person who got me it that it was probably worth very little. Nice gesture all the same.

     

    Not got it framed and on the wall right enough. Can you buy more and consolidate them? My old man has shares but I would like to buy more up in the future for the Bhoy.

  21. James Forrest is Neil Lennon! We are ALL Neil Lennon! on

    The utter nonsense flowing out of Ibrox is one thing … telling your fans “don’t trust anyone except us, cause, hey, we’d never lie to you right?” is another.

     

     

    Surely they won’t buy into that?

     

     

    http://www.onfieldsofgreen.com/living-on-a-prayer/

     

     

    My take on it. Will they listen this time?

  22. Sports Radio man has just said that Platini won’t be at Celtic Park. Apparently the poor wee man has much work to do re the match fixing /betting in Europe thing..

     

     

    Same man also suggested that FIFA will soon be very busy dealing with the inevitable rumors re the Burkino Faso /Ghana game and some of the people directly involved in that game.

    We are being told via the media that Rangers league place was transfered to Newco not a totally new entry into the league which is slightly different from a totally different club. It all sounds rather shady and under hand which sums them up perfectly.

     

    UEFA hold the key though and they look at them as a new club and are treating them as such. They are not illegible to enter Europe for 3 years.

     

    I’m not sure how it works but I have read a wee bit about it and it looks to me that this 3 year period is on production of there first set of accounts which haven’t been published yet. They may be frozen out of Europe for some time to come.

     

    The SFA have handled the whole scenario shamefully as we all know. The fact they have the same jersey and almost identical name is a disgrace.

    Think Forrest will be given the chance to play 90 minutes tomorrow and to see how he reacts. If Sammi is out on Tuesday I can see us risking Forrest from the start against Juve, if fit.

    I hope we leave all our big hitters out tomorrow. Inverness won’t be holding back in the tackles.

    Ah livibhoy, Unfortunately I exhausted my expertise on the Stock exchange on one single sentence in my earlier mail message.( I know nuffink!)

     

    But it’s a good way to officially have a share in celtic without paying out hundreds of quid. Lets face it we are not using it as a financial investment, only a cherished keepsake, and in that case a single share is as good as 500 shares.

     

    You will never be able to out vote Mr Desmond but you will officially be a shareholder and always remember that your single Celtic share is worth more than the old rangers shares added together.

    I know what your saying , the bit that gets me is how they are allowed to claim the company died not the club pash.

     

    Is there any other example of someone trying this stunt , anywhere and getting away with it .

    Big Nan @ 11:13 – thanks for that, they are/were a complete and utter farce. It’s a pity Brian Rix is no longer with us, he would have loved this one!

  29. FourGreenFields,

     

     

    It’s portrayed differently because it is Rangers that went bust. No other reason.

     

     

    The notion of a football club somehow being this independent yet undefined entity that is simply owned by a company has never been mentioned before. Not when Gretna went, when Airdrieonians went, probably not even when Third Lanark went.

     

     

    It’s a fiction to appease the huns.

  30. Maybe its time to give Miku another chance tomorrow. Forrest, Forster, Kayal and Stokes need the game time, Watt and McGeouch are deserving of the chance of a start and we could see Gershon or Rogic for the first time. We may need to play a couple of our first choice defenders as we are short in numbers there but I wouldn’t be upset at seeing a couple of youngsters (Fraser? Chalmers?) given a run out.

     

    We have the squad to leave out all of the big hitters required for Tuesday.
