Football authorities and turning a blind eye

415

Scottish Football League, rule 23. Members’ Financial Records, “All Members and Associate Members shall keep detailed financial records of their activities and the board may arrange an inspection of all such records”.

In the absence of audited accounts for a new club, the board of the SFL are in a unique position to examine the financial records of The Rangers to ensure its leadership is not running amok with the Scottish game, in the same way previous incumbents of Ibrox did.

Or, a few months after Craig Whyte crashed a football club after telling everyone he had enough money to complete the season, will the football authorities look the other way?  Again?

  1. Here’s another belter from CGs joke book.

     

    They will make the QF of the CL every second year

     

    and in a good year reach the CF.

     

    Not bad going for a team that got beat by Stirling Albion.

  2. Snake Plissken on

    If compensation was paid to the SFA when Rangers poached Smith was it via the EBT scheme?

  3. The start of the demise of rfc into liquidation and the grave started on the night of 25th May 1967 thank you Jock

    Re iPox tickets : I have been told that they are giving away loads of tickets for home games. The story goes that they contact supports clubs and offer them free tickets pro rata to the number of season ticket holders on the bus. This is to try to make it look that they are selling most of the tickets for every home game.

     

    It would go some way to explaining why relatively few attended the Motherwell game. They would not give free tickets and declare a high attendance for that as Motherwell are entitled to a share of the gate which would need to reflect the inflated crowd.

     

     

    A good idea to give tickets away to generate an atmosphere, however poisonous it might be. However it seems that they are on a bit of a cleft stick as the average bears are delighted with the pr of a big crowd but distinctly unhappy that they are paying for something that other bears are getting for nothing.

     

     

    Hopefully it might cause a backlash sometime soon.

    Top stuff.

     

     

    I think you are the perfect driver to Drive these questions home.

     

     

    You pay for many people to attend Celtic matches. Celtic, and it is more than that I sense, is the driving force behind your thought process.

     

     

    Hats totally doffed to your efforts and I am thinking it really is “just the beginning”. ;)))

    Are you trying to say Aston Villa are worse than Sevco. :))) only joking My Friend in Celtic. ;)

  6. Dubaibhoy-"If I signed off the accounts it has been in good faith." on

    Awe_Naw,

     

     

    May be on your list. Only had time to scan…

     

     

    Does Ipox have a current, valid safety certificate?

     

     

    Have any surveys been conducted at Ipox for the presence of hazardous + deleterious materials (eg Asbestos), and if so:

     

    1. Are occupants considered to be at risk; and

     

    2. Has any remedial action been planned.

     

     

    What is the current market value of Ipox?

     

     

    How did Oldco, Newco + Duff & Phelps agree on valuations that differed slightly from SDM’s 120m valuation?

    Watching the Scotland game the other night, it struck me that Darcy Blake is not a great name If you are an aspiring centre half, probably better suited to a prima ballerina.

     

     

    A chant of “Darcy’s gonnae get ye” is hardly likely to strike fear into the heart of even the most timid opposition striker.

     

     

    With apologies to any cqners out there called Darcy of course. No offence intended.

  8. 500,000,000 supporters of a mega-football force in Europe with world class credentials and they have to give tickets away to partially fill their health and safety disaster of a stadium?

     

    Hmmm…

     

    Hahahahahahahahahaha!

  10. CG has played a blinder re the share issue.

     

    He’s built them up so if they don’t back him now

     

    they will look like eejits and if they do back him

     

    they’ll lose their dough.

     

    Brilliant.

  11. prestonpans bhoys on

    Does anyone know of a sevcoian who is daft enough to buy these “shares”??

     

     

    I don’t know one.

  12. Hugh Keevins???

     

     

    Retiring within the next two years…FACT

     

     

    Expect more Timguffery, is that a new word on here?

     

     

    FUD, but, he’s sooooo proud of being from Clydebank…

     

     

    Explain that all you Bankies?

  13. how much does a full page ad in the DR cost?

     

     

    I’d be happy to chip in a tenner to get Awe Naw’s list of questions placed as a full page add. If it is £5,000 then we only need 500 £10′s to get going.

     

     

    ________________________________________________________________________

     

     

    I’m in. £20.00 if needed.

  15. I can’t manage to get to the AGM on Nov 16 but have just appointed my Proxy to vote for shirt sponsorship that does not involve another team, say NO to zombies, or preferably the shirt displays the name of a charitable organisation.

     

     

    God Bless wee Oscar stay strong wee mhan.

    Marnie Mercedes Darcey Pembleton Crittle will never again darken the blog with her incisive take on all things Celtic. Despite clearly

     

    being a UFB.

     

     

    I hope you’re proud of yourself.

  19. If no-one commented,or reacted to keevins foolishness,he would soon disappear,his only intention is to cause controversy ,thereby,he keeps his job,ignoring him is the best method of dealing with his antics.

  20. I got the AGM pack, scanned over it but only really seen the usual re voting board members. Is there a question about joint sponsorship? My shares are still registered to my Mum’s house from many many years ago so can’t check myself at the moment.

     

     

    Cheers

    Nat know ; I should have known there would be one. I just wish that some day I will learn to keep my big mouth shut.

    It would get boring if we all agreed with each other.

     

    Btw you were correct when you said i was ‘lazy commentator’

     

    Not to mention inebriated.

  23. Just been reading back on the blog.

     

    Wee Oscar. What a trial the wee fhella is undergoing. I cannot begin to imagine how distraught his family must be.

    The collation of those unanswered questions was a Herculean task. They amount to the virtual annihillation of zombies f.c.

     

    Of course they may still be rescued by the corrupt masonic reality of Scottish governance.

     

    Should that occur, we really need to get out of the sfa set up.

     

    I don’t know how that could be done; I’m not clever enough. But we could not continue in such a patently corrupt atmosphere.

     

    I know we’ve had to for decades, but there comes a point…..

    I always had you down as one of the more mature responsible posters on here with correct answers to any trivia thrown up.

     

     

    However more and more I see you having a sly kick at the zombies when they are down.
