    Michelle Mone funding transfer moves for Peter Crouch and Andy Carroll – looking at a big pair up front.

     

     

    You heard it here first…

    Will some regulator not insist that King sorts out the mess from the last share issue or offer or purchase or whatever it was before issuing more to magic up some cash?

  11. starry plough on

    I’m confused, a share issue to raise 6 million, how can you have a share issue if Dk has been ordered to buy the shares but as yet has not ponied up??

     

     

    Shirley any share issue would be worthless and you would be certifiable if you bought said shares in a company who’s main man has pulled up one thin rand as yet??

     

     

    Confused, Green Valley

    Well that’s Ms Hebcelts wedding celebrations come to an end, jeez we know how to party in the Hebrides!! Her and her mhan are jetskiing in Croatia – thanks Hvarski Jim sp they are loving it, now to get myself ready for some serious partying next Sunday. Hail Hail Hebcelt

    Is the £6m moonbeams promised by King from share issue what’s laden after they convert the £20m (give or take) loans from existing directors to shares and pay Close Bros their £4m?

     

    Will Park accept this or will he want his cash back?

  19. Bateen Bhoy on

    Find it hard to believe that Gerrard has agreed to sip from the poisoned chalice for a promised £6m windfall from a share issue ( even in the unlikely event that it happens.)

     

    There must be investment coming from some other source.

     

    I know how unlikely that sounds, but does anyone really believe that King told him there would be £6m made available following a share issue, and that would be what he’d get to build a team capable of stopping Brendans Celtic ? I doubt even Gerrard is stupid enough to think he could do it with that little money.

    Good Monday Morning

     

     

    Well it’s morning for me in Long Boat Key, Florida.

     

     

    The proverbial hypocrisy of Scottish football & society was on show over the weekend.

     

     

    The media hacks & pundits (most of them) were gushing on both sides of the border about the “best thing for Scottish football since Gascoigne.”

     

     

    “It’s put Scottish football in the spotlight.”

     

    “It’s just great for Scottish football.”

     

     

    The fact that very few people in Scotland remember Gascoigne’s time here with any warmth & affection is irrelevant apparently. Almost to a man, those who said this were RRM or closet RRM coming out involuntarily. I wonder how some of them think about that this morning

     

     

    The sentiment in the second sentence was more nuanced as could be seen from the Battle of Gorgie.

     

     

    We could see at Ibrox the usual rebound factor when a new manager has been announced, or when an old manager is sacked if you prefer. But very quickly attention swung to Edinburgh on Sunday and the first live SPFL fixture since the Great Awakening of the Coming of England’s former captain.

     

     

    What an opportunity & potential spectacle for the newly spotlighted Scottish football.

     

    It was a spectacle but in all the wrong ways.

     

     

    The pitch was deliberately prepared to be restrict the actual playing of football – unless you are a pub league. Hearts captain Berra admitted that they let the grass grow long & didn’t water it to stop Celtic playing football. Thus, the watching millions on TV saw footballers who apparently couldn’t pass the ball to a team mate. No one on the commentary team gave us the heads up beforehand (as far as I could hear) and neither did they state that this was a deliberate tactic by HMFC. All I heard was drivel about the pitch being cut up to be sold to Hearts fans as the club were renewing the pitch in two weeks time.

     

     

    Early on, It then became very obvious to this punter that the surface was deliberately set up to facilitate the Hearts game plan. Sticky surface – under hit Celtic passes – high press especially on Celtic defence & midfield – leave your foot in – fall over dramatically if you feel any contact. Hearts set about showing the world how bad Scottish football was.

     

     

    Part 2 of this farce was the standard of refereeing/officiating. Madden seemed more interested in smiling benignly to all around than actually doing his job. Did the hot day encourage him to conserve his energy or was he blind to the state of the pitch & the Hears tactics? Perhaps he was just intimidated by the Circus Maximus crowd. The net effect of his indolence was thuggery & cheating by Hearts players was allowed to continue unabated for the whole game. Early yellow cards to Hearts players were no deterrent simply because Madden failed to follow up when they re-offended. Once Hearts players realized that Madden had bottled it, they biffed their way around Celtic players with impunity. It’s well recorded elsewhere that Naismith should have sent off, but Lafferty on a yellow escaped further sanction when he should have a 2nd on at least 3 occasions: simulation or thuggery – take your pick. Further, Adao became a bug eyed nutter & eventually even arch-villain & angry man, Levein took him off before even Madden would be forced to reach for his pocket again.

     

     

    Speaking of Levein & the little old lady from Mornningside who run this business, it’s hard to not to conclude that they encourage the truly knuckle dragging hordes that froth, bawl & spit at Celtic players, subs & staff when we play at this ground. I saw Levein drop the ball rather than hand it to a Celtic player for our throw in: I saw no steward intervention as their fans threw the ball away every time Celtic had a throw or goal kick: I saw their ball boys refuse to hand or throw the ball to Celtic players: I saw no stewards or Police intervene when Lafferty went straight to the Celtic fans when he scored – the throng of Police & stewards gathered between the main stand and the Celtic end did nothing. Madden, unlike Collum when we scored at the Rangers end at Hampden, was nowhere to be seen. To the watching world it seems that the Safety at Sports Ground legislation doesn’t apply at this ground. Does the Safety Team of Edinburgh City Council have any standards or review procedures?

     

     

    Budge, Levein & co are directly responsible for the behavior & conduct of their staff & fans at their place. That this hate fest occurs and NO media in Scotland call it out is THE indictment of Scottish football – the one that stands in the apocryphal spotlight.

     

     

    In essence the world could see that there is no integrity on Scottish football, no shame, no absolute standards to which all subscribe regardless of club affinity or tribal allegiance.

     

     

    Ironically, Hearts attempted to introduce a level playing field – something that we have been seeking for decades. In their case though, Hearts sought to reduce the level of the metaphorical pitch to the lowest common denominator – the jungle. The Hearts board & management colluded in this, the referee looked the other way & the media (largely) pretended that it was merely the passion of the game not the shameful display that it was. If you were asked to loan a player to Celtic & you saw this spectacle what would you do?

     

     

    Then there was Celtic. After the Hibs game I was critical of Celtic’s refusal to alter their tactics in the face of a high press game. We deservedly lost that game. Yesterday though, we adjusted & had control of the game before HT.

     

     

    Against Hearts I was hugely impressed with Celtic players & the management. Every player was a hero.

     

    We tried to play the Celtic way but when confronted with a conspiracy of thuggery we stepped up and won individual battles all over the pitch.

     

     

    One of the most satisfying victories in a very long time. The players and fans were entitled to celebrate at the end. Great to watch.

     

     

    Over the past few days, I think we also caught a glimpse of the “natural order” that Levein seems to value. The natural order that allows supremacist obsessed underclasses to imagine that they can once again lord it over other citizens, while pretending that it’s not about ethnicity or religion.

     

     

    Have a great day.

    Let me get this right – Dave King is asking existing “investors” to pony up more cash (maybe £6m) and he will convert this and some existing loans into equity. Is that right?

     

     

    Obviously this won;t do much other than keep the lights on, so I imagine it’s to satisfy the authorities that they’re not gonna go bust next season?

  37. Sandman on

    “Since deprating his childhood home of Fraggle Rock to gain minor infamy as a banjo-strumming inbred hillbilly in Boorman’s classic cinematique seminal wilderness survival horror, ‘Deliverance’, Naysmeeth – known affectionately back on le Rock as ‘Le Petit ‘Un Ned’ – has bemused cultured observers of soccer.

     

     

    Conceived in a loveless grudge-entanglement behind a barn-dance bewteen the moonshine-addled village rapist and the evening’s sacrificial goat, Naysmeeth has carried that genetic abberation through his mystifying existence, deftying natural laws as he scurries around the football fields of Scotland, an irascible and vitriolic urchin in appearance.

     

     

    This grizzled, stumpy unter-mensch may indeed by growing younger as his physical years rack up – some rare condition, a ‘Benjamin Bigot’ if you will – but he maintains the steady bitterness of a sinister ameobic ‘Billy-Boy’ (you see, we have here the cry of all Ultras de Rangers, celebrating their goat-inheritance).

     

     

    This scrofulous sneering oddity continues to fizzle around Scottish football like a dog turd wrapped in newspaper with some sparklers and placed alight on an unsuspecting doorstep. He rings the doorbell but far from running will gleefully attempt evisceration upon contact with his brand of redneck mixed martial arts.

     

     

    Such extremities of foul play are celebrated by the galleries he plays to, cursing and condemning the game in Scotland to the levels of playground brawls, entertaining only the anachronistic monkey-armies of darkest Ibrox; to wit le motto de Rangers, ‘Aye ‘Ragin’.

     

     

    Facilitated by a compliant media and guild of Referees loyal to the English royal family, masonic brotherhoods and L’Orange ludge – a peculiar collective/cult of cross-dressing magicians and Mickey Mouse fanatics – Naysmeeth is the type of player that both alarms and amuses with his style akin mostly to a brain-injured pug/pitbull with no teeth but manicured, honed claws.

     

     

    That this hybrid circus curiosity runs free to maim proper football players and generally frighten young children may be a testimony to the tolerance of Scottish society but a scathing indictment of a national sport.”
