I’ve been sent a brain teaser. What legal reasons would someone have to discretely pay another individual £500k? The people are not currently in business together, although the recipient previously worked for the sender. No goods have been provided.
It’s a puzzle.
Looking for legal reasons only, no crazy illegal notions or wild speculation about real persons, this is purely a theoretical exercise.
Apparently I’m being sent a moral dilemma tomorrow: Will the recipient, with off-shore accounts but living in interesting times, declare the £500k?

That has to be Murray to Bain– and it is the rent for the Jean Alain Boumsong Villa!
if a bad CHEAT cheated some CHEATERS
how many CHEATS would a bad cheat CHEAT
Re previuos blog and Mr Hately:
Observers of dark side behaviour will have seen an increase in the number of myths that are emerging from Orcsville to make them feel better about themselves (an interesting psychology exercise in itself as to why – but I digress) as the myth of their world collapses under the weight of the reality wave sweeping them away. (Myth making is a coping mechanism really.)
However in the interest of sanity these mad ideas need debunking before they become an unstable foundation on which the future is built, to collapse all over again. So in the interests of caring, laced with a soupcon of shadenfreude , lets look closer at the one being peddled by the hurting Mark Hately in today’s DR about the Skint Huns. He ends his article with the following:
So let Celtic get on with celebrating their title – a title they somehow failed to win throughout the last three years of financial troubles – and let Rangers get on with the painful process etc .
This is the sort of myth peddled by the mainstream media of a true blue hue that do not stand up to scrutiny as the table at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq2m3ggkEX2RdFU4bkRFWGRNV3ZMM0ZsTl9FUEc2UUE#gid=0
clearly demonstrates.
It not only shows when Rangers EBT usage was at its highest and the titles won during the highest usage, but with particular reference to Hateley’s warped point, it shows when Rangers abandoned the EBT path in 2007 as a means of using other people’s money (OPM) to buy trophies and switched to debt as an alternative, possibly because by 2007 they realised the EBT route for using OPM was more dodgy than increasing debt five fold..
A winning team is not built in a season but starting in 2007 with the arrival of Walter Smith, Rangers laid the foundation of the 3iar title winning teams Hately refers to in his article. The financial troubles are presented there as a difficulty Rangers had to overcome and a weakness Celtic failed to exploit when the TRUTH is it was BECAUSE of the Ranger’s approach they won those titles and far from being weak, they were in fact very strong, particularly as Celtic chose not to follow that road to perdition. The debt as Walter Smith says was on the park.
So Celtic did not fail to win somehow, Rangers deliberately chose a risky path and Celtic deliberately chose not to follow. As the old Connie Francis number goes “Whose Sorry Now? ”
If Hately’s thinking is at all indicative of the Ranger’s mindset as a whole is it any wonder they now find themselves in such a mess?
The table also debunks another myth that Rangers have done well reducing their debt down to £18M from £31M. Sounds good until you see the rise from £6M in 2006 and it makes you wonder, had they not incurred that debt spending on players would they have been in a much better position to deal with the outcome of the FTT or indeed would they have needed taking over by CW? These myths might make the huns feel better but they will not change the reality they seem afraid of facing.
PS If you want to read the full article from which the table is taken it is at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mbjSTpOvkG_av5MrXlRjSPAhLv6YHyZ9QRdVZ2o2ooY/edit#
And was originally published in CQN Magazine Two.
As the recently late, and in my humble opinion, much maligned by some posters on this forum, Frank Carson might have said ‘it’s the way big Mark tells them’.
According to big Mark, ‘if the boot was on the other foot, compared to the way Parkhead counterparts are currently acting; THEIR management would be conducting itself with Dignity.
Which particular Dignity would that be then, Mark?
Sir David’s arrogant spending ten for five. Seeking refuge from EUFA’s wrath by changing sectarian employment policies. But as a sop to the Neanderthals in your fan base, making sure that you rub Celtic’s noses in it as you do so.
Lowering the level of the Ibrox playing surface with the sole purpose of creating a more intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams.
Allowing, as you are required to, visiting European Competition sides access to your park, and then prior to kick-off; alter the playing dimensions of the pitch. That one was an ‘if I was chocolate, I’d eat myself’ Souness, inspired caper.
All the Dignity of Gazza’s imaginary flute playing and masturbatory gestures on the day of Firhill’s notorious ‘Black Blessing’.
The Dignity of Robert’s conducting the fans as they belted out some of the ould numbers.
The Dignified Ally led, thumb-our-noses-at-them, huddle on clinching a title at Parkhead.
And last but not least, perhaps the ultimate Dignity, deliberately defecating in the player’s bath at the home of your greatest rivals. Legal reasons possibly prevent me naming the culprit in that low life episode.
Mr Hateley is entitled to fight his favourite’s corner. In doing so he should choose his words carefully. The above would suggest that Dignity is not one of them.
One Remaining Clash !
As Declan might say, is this a hyper pathetical question?

Is that so the cameras can see us celebrating having won the league at Ibrox the week before?

It looks that way so they DON’T expect ICT or Hearts to take all 6 points then DuU to win thus leaving us to party at Pittodrie.

Divorce settlement
I own a company. My wife worked for the company. We are now divorced. I am required by the court to pay her £500k in settlement of departing.
I have received no goods (or chattels).
You are a toff who likes fast cars. I was your PA but left for a better job. Before I left I took some pictures of your weekend party entertainment which involved leather, rubber and whips. I then contacted you to explain that the pictures had been stolen and might end up with a newspaper. I indicate that the thief will return them to me for £500k. You send me £500k to get the pictures back.

Potentially a very good development for us.
Noticed that UEFA have once again postponed our latest disciplinary case.
This sounds like bad news to me.
I suspect that they will throw the proverbial book at us.
This will probably mean that they will expel us from the SFA/SPL and force us to play in another league. One that has relatively easy transport access for our support.
Furthermore, this may lead to increased fiscal responsibilities, due to higher television rights.
I fear the worst.
“If Hately’s thinking is at all indicative of the Ranger’s mindset as a whole is it any wonder they now find themselves in such a mess?”
The other fantastic example of the hunnish “mind” doing the rounds at present is the incredulity that the Ticketus money was used to pay down the debt to Lloyds. Putting to one side the apparent obfuscation of this by Mr. Craig Whyte, the idea that the club has raised funds through realising future ticket income early and used this to remove debt obligations shouldn’t really shock anyone.
Instead the huns seem moved to great fits of rage at the suggestion that “their money” should be used to pay Lloyds back for the money that signed Jelavic and chums. Someone else should pay.
“Ahm naw payin fur it. Whyte should pay fur it. Pure no’ fair so it is. Anyhow we’ll naw go bust, the bears’ll all put their hawn up wi cash tae keep ra big hoose open.”

I think there was comment recently that Laugherty playing anymore would trigger a further payment, not sure about that now as a ruthless administrator would surely ditch him ASAP?

I complained to Celtic Tickets on tickets about refunds for Irish fans travel costs. They said to “email your details to celticfctickets@celticfc.co.uk and we will give you advice.”
Probably can’t do anything but you can’t lose anything by asking them.
