Hartson late mea cupla

827

I’m sure Ronny Deila is delighted to have the backing of John Harton, now he doesn’t need it.  John’s attachment to the club is not in doubt, nor should a new manager want unquestioning support from anyone, but some clubs reach a point when they become unmanageable.  Influential voices collaborate with perma-upset media and fans to expose shoots of recovery to a winter frost.

The mea culpa, when it arrives, is often too late.

Save us from the click bait that is suggesting Craig Gordon is a ‘target’ for some or other English club.  Derk Boerrigter is interesting Real Madrid, honest, they’ve been watching him with the Development Squad.

I’ve been waiting for weeks on someone to ask the question: if a club accepts money on the condition that the lender has the right to appoint two directors, in the event the club removes those directors, do you reckon that would be a breach of the terms of the loan?

I’d be extremely worried if a well-intentioned, but nonetheless, baying mob chased away the last independent director of my club.  Many Germans celebrated the Armistice, thinking a conclusion to hostilities had been agreed.  Months later they learned the terms left them bereft of land, defensive capabilities, capital equipment, authority and self-respect.  What seemed like an end to the trauma only set in motion far greater horrors.

Our good friends at Magners have offered two premium seat tickets for tomorrow’s game at Celtic Park.  To win, email me the name of the team we’re playing at celticquicknews@gmail.com

Competition closes at 5pm tonight.  If you would like to help build a school kitchen for 909 hungry kids for Mary’s Meals in Malawi while entering the competition, you can donate £1 here.  Thank you.

    Correct.

     

     

    Criticism doesn’t have to be constructive to be relevant.

     

     

    H,mm.If true some people should remember that fact when their posts are being criticized.

     

    Or else they could just stick to what they usually do,and post snidey comments at the critic.

    Would the 7.5 K fine cover the masonic delegation’s fee’s that the SFA sent along?

  3. Ashley can withold that money .due to conditions of the contract..meaning if he takes the hump regarding llambias and leach..king would then have to come up with the money for the wages …

    Rangers announce to Stock Exchange they are starting process which will allow them to draw down second £5m tranche from Mike Ashely’s loan

    It often seems arrogant to give advice but I would recommend that you stick to Celtic posts. I say this because you are treated worse than most, if not all, other posters who give their political views on here.Not sure why that should be the case. Maybe people need a whipping boy . Sammi and Efe are examples.

     

    I don`t like the abuse you receive but I don`t think it will stop so, the only other way, is for you to stop and stick with your pretty good Celtic posts.

    Water supply problems across several areas of Glasgow tonight , just in case anyone has low pressure or no water issues.

  7. So Mike’s men are pawning the family silver just 2 days before they are due to vacate the family home. Its obviously funny but surely they can’t get away with doing that. One would imagine that assuming King takes control on Friday that he would have a strong case that present incumbents didn’t act in the best interests of the Company.

    That’s Sevco speak for “we’ve be unable to make Mike Ashley’s two director’s resign, so we’ll just have to use the crisis loan he gave us “

  9. Big Mike’s £5m require to cover the 1st team’s ginger bill from the Bon Accord lorry.

  10. thetimreaper on

    I don’t think drawing down the 5 mill is critical, it’s the applicable conditions that matter.

  11. Canamalar..l it seems the Uk is the only country without an oil fund, so if other countries saw it..why didnt Labour govs..just asking

    Dear Mr. Machiavelli

     

     

    Nice script today

     

     

     

    King gets rid of much of the board and obviously will want Ashley’s men out.

     

     

    King threatens to hold Ashley’s men personally liable for the cost of the EGM

     

     

    SFA fine Ashley £7,500

     

     

     

    Oh, and by the way Mr. Ashley………can we have our next £5m please.?

     

     

     

    Well done – keep up the good work.

     

     

     

    Yours sincerely,

  13. bad bad week – my dream of Mr. N. McCann leading whoarewethisweekco. has finally joined the ghost haunts of all my other fantasy wants.

  14. The Board of Rangers announces that the Company has commenced the process of satisfying the conditions for drawdown of the second tranche of the facility announced on 27 January 2015 with SportsDirect.com Retail Limited and associated companies (“SD”) (the “Facility”) in order to meet its cash requirements for the third week of March.

     

    ===================================================

     

    At the moment the Board of Rangers is Mike Ashley so would presume that the loan will go ahead. The mind boggles as to what the conditions will be.

     

    Suspect King and the 3 bears are going to be left with some pretty horrendous conditions attached to that loan and there is nothing they can do to stop it before Friday.

     

    I just love this saga. Long may it continue. mmm unless of course Sevco went into oblivion that would be even better!

  17. So Rangers have issued a warning to its shareholders that the second tranche of the 10m drawdown from Sports Direct has been applied for to ensure the club survives March, but if certain circumstances prevail – obviously a vote in favour of Dave King’s motion – the money from Sports Direct will not be forthcoming.

     

     

    1-0 to Ashley.

    If the 1997-2010 Lab Govt was so good, why did the disparity in income and wealth between rich and poor widen at the greatest rate in history?

     

    Read up a bit before coming on here spouting paash in a most aggressive and hectoring manner.

     

    You should try recruiting for your beloved Labour Party, not driving them away with your uneducated half truths and Newspeak.

    I’m just a mere layman in these matters, but one would think Big Mike and is army of lawyers, are one step ahead of the game.

    Alfie –

     

     

    Having voted Labour in every election I have been able to vote in, I will vote SNP in May for the first time in my life. Oh how I look forward to Labour being wiped out in Scotland.

     

     

    They are traitors to their class and karma is coming their way.

    You’ll be hoping for a Tory government then.

     

     

    Nice.

  21. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    Alfie .. Your rants about new, new, new labour might have some credence south of the border, where you are, according to your twittery thing .

     

     

    Even labour supporters up here think gormless Edd Millband running the country (Britain) is laughable.

    Got to agree with you he’s playing a blinder !!!!!

  23. Ernie –

     

     

    Not at all. but if it happens, so what?. A Tory government would be no different to a Labour government.

     

     

    They are now one and the same.

     

     

    Deal with it.

  24. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    The SNP have ruled out any coalition with the Tories ..

     

     

    Have Labour ??

     

     

    Just business as usual up here, with the lab\tory love in.

    I must admit I dont know if the lying king taking over at the Rangers is a good thing or a bad thing from the Celtic point of view ? and I havnt really seen it debated on CQN.Does this mean we have now lost track of what is going on over Ibrokes way and there is no one on the blog who can sumarise the latest goings on from a Celtic point of view.H.H.

     

     

    ===============================

     

     

    King comes from the Minty Murray school of business- speculate by borrowing big on over-inflated asset valuations; make a killing, syphon it off, minimise tax liabilities and invest in offshore schemes to filter revenue into your back pocket through backdoors. Up front business assets stripped to core in case of failure, no safety net for the operating companies should adversity set in for a sustained period; house of cards operations that can collapse very quickly unde rrevenue/income pressures.

     

     

    Meet the new boss, sa… He IS the old boss.

    What was Ashley fined for ?

    Rumours his wife was catholic.

  26. sixtaeseven - the loanees have taken over the asylum on

    As a non financial guy, I was uncertain what the term “draw down” means.

     

    In the Sevco context, I conclude it means “bend over and drawers down”.

     

     

    PS

     

    what happens to the loanees after Friday (need to update my nom de plum).

     

     

    Gardez la Foi

  27. Ex players like Hartson and sutton, who lived off Henrik and the celtic supports fat contributions but ultimately could not be bothered to even train properly once Henrik left and mons eye was off the ball, showed me what they were about when they blew it in 2005 at Motherwell.

     

     

    The ensuing disrespect for GS when he began his term amplified this.

     

     

    These guys are happy to talk down our club at the drop of a hat for a few dollars.

     

     

    When we need momentum and positivity with a new coach from another country with a different style they chose to influence the gullible celtic consumers who listen to their crap with negativity.

     

     

    Football and footballers thrive on confidence. The hunic media have tried to knock ours every season since I was 8 years old when Colin Stein was going to destroy celtic and prevent 4 in a row.

     

     

    Think of the treatment of Wim from Hiroshima, Dr Jo, and Tony Mowbray. Luckily our man RD is made of strong stuff and looks like coming through playing a confident style and putting 2 fingers up at his sad early season ignorant detractors like Dalziel and Keevans.

     

     

    Our own former players dancing the media tune along with many other ‘quick to judge’ halfwits really does not help our cause.

     

     

    Meanwhile I am loving the final act of the latest tragedy tonight at govan. I cannot wait to see some seething rabid pathetic struth sons or fan group folk venting their spleens on SSN tonight. Gory stuff but still as long as it is after the watershed.

    The mood in Sevconia has turned, the media won’t report it just yet as they didn’t get time to celebrate Kings return.
