I’ve no affection for Real Madrid but was delighted for them, and Carlo Ancelotti in particular, last night. It’s getting to the stage that it’s impossible to figure out who the best team in Europe actually is.
Bayern Munich’s season has been historic. They swept aside German competitors with record-breaking ease on their way to what looked like them becoming the first team to retain Europe’s top crown in its Champions League format. Real were irresistible. Let’s hope for a Madrid final before the Lions in Lisbon next month.
After yesterday’s blog I heard that more journalistic allies from Anderston Quay have flocked to Dave King’s camp, including that Leggat (sp?) guy, who used to entertain many.
I’ve heard more theories as to what the Sevco board and the group trying to run their club into the ground are planning that I care to remember, but when you look at the team King in particular has pulled together, you would be forgiven for concluding there is no masterplan worthy of the name.
We can’t always judge a man by the company he keeps but we can just a strategy by those who fathered it.
Prediction: King will kill Sevco then fall on his arse. Bump.
Here we Go for 10 In a Row!
Applications for the 10th annual CQN charity golf day, which will take place in Aberdour Golf Club on Friday 4th July, will close this Friday, 2nd May.
As ever it will be oversubscribed so if you would like to attend, email BlantyreKev and Taggsy at cqnopen10IAR@gmx.co.uk before Friday. Cost for the full day’s entertainment including golf is £80. There are a very limited number of non-golfer evening places at £45. Further detail will be released nearer the date and when places confirmed.
Over the course of the season I’ve read lots of comment about the values we should aspire to as a club, specifically when it comes to alleviating poverty, both in our own community, and abroad. CQN’ers responded incredibly to our Malawi school kichen(s) appeal, which dwarfed our work at home.
The Charity Foundation are selling badges (£1 each) before the Dundee United game on 11 May to raise funds to feed the poor and hungry in and around Glasgow. I have volunteered as a coordinator on the day and have offered to help recruit around 100 to sell badges before the game.
This will be trophy presentation day – but the trophy isn’t coming out until after the game, so you’ll not miss any of the flesh-on-silver action.
If you are able to get involved in this initiative, which strikes the core of what we think of ourselves as a Movement, email your details to cfcfvolunteer@celticfc.co.uk .
Thank you.

Paul67,
I can’t help but think that Bayern have suffered in Europe due to being so far ahead in their league. Some may think that allows them to focus on Europe more but I think the lack of intensity in league matches must affect how they perform when the big matches come around like last nights game. I suppose you could liken that to our performances in the cups this season…bewildering!

What does that mean?

What does strike off mean?
Striking off, means the removal of a company´s name from the official Companies House register. The company name is then available to incorporate by a new company. A company may be struck off the register and dissolved if an application has been submitted to the Registrar or the Registrar concludes that it is not in operation.
Who can apply to have a company struck off the register?
The Company
A limited company can request to be dissolved providing that it meets all of the following requirements:
◾Not traded within the last 3 months
◾Not changed the company name within the last 3 months
◾Is not subject to any legal proceedings, current or proposed
◾Has not made a disposal for value of property or rights
If all of the criteria are met the company can complete a Striking Off application (form DSO1) to Companies House. A copy must also be sent to interested parties HM Revenue & Customs, employees, creditors, etc. within a week of submitting the application for example.
When the application has been accepted a notice will be placed in the relevant Gazette giving at least 3 months notice of the intent to remove the company. If an objection (see below) by an interested party is upheld the action to close the company will be suspended.
A company may be voluntarily closed, if it cannot pay its creditors or by order of the court on the petition of a creditor.
The Registrar
The Registrar may strike off a company for reasons such as if the business is neither in business nor in operation, for example, he has not received documents from a company that should have sent them to him or mail he has sent to a company´s registered office is returned undelivered.
Before the Registrar strikes a company off the register, he must inquire whether it is still in business or operation. If he is satisfied that it is not, he will publish a notice in the London Gazette that he intends to strike the company off. A copy notice is placed on the company´s public record.
If he sees no reason to do otherwise, the Registrar will strike the company off not less than three months after the date of the notice. The company will be dissolved on publication of a further notice stating this in the Gazette. At the date of dissolution any assets held by a dissolved company will belong to the Crown: see question 5. The company’s bank account will be frozen and any credit balance in the account will be passed to the Crown. If the company is to remain on the register, it is important to reply promptly to any formal inquiry letter from the Registrar and to deliver any outstanding documents. Failure to deliver the necessary documents may also result in the directors being prosecuted. The Registrar will take into account representations from the company and other interested parties such as creditors.
The Company Law Official Notifications Supplement to the London Gazette publishes weekly notices on microfiche. Copies are available from the company details page, please search here for a company.
Can anyone object to the company being struck off and dissolved?
Any interested party may object. Objections must be in writing and sent to the Registrar of Companies with any supporting evidence, such as copies of invoices that may prove the company is trading. Reasons for objecting include:
◾the company has broken any of the conditions of its application (for example, it has traded, changed its name or become subject to insolvency proceedings) during the three-month period before the application, or afterwards;
◾the directors have not informed interested parties;
◾any of the declarations on the form are false;
◾some form of action is being taken, or is pending, to recover any money owed (such as a winding-up petition or action in a small claims court);
◾other legal action is being taken against the company;
◾the directors have wrongfully traded or committed a tax fraud or some other offence.
What happens to the assets of a dissolved company?
From the date of dissolution any assets held by a dissolved company will be ´bona vacantia´. This means they belong to the Crown. The company’s bank account will be frozen and any credit balance in the account will be passed to the Crown.

TM01 14/02/2014 APPOINTMENT TERMINATED, DIRECTOR AIDAN EARLEY
AP01 13/02/2014 DIRECTOR APPOINTED MR CHARLES ALEXANDER GREEN
On 24 April 2014 RIFC issued a statement to the London Stock Exchange (http://rangers.g3dhosting.com/regulatory_news_article/301) that included this text :
“In view of recent media speculation, the company wishes to clarify that Sevco 5088 is not an active subsidiary of the Rangers International Football Club plc. It is and has been a defunct non trading company over which termination proceedings began last year and which would have been struck off by the Registrar of Companies had false claims of directorships not been filed recently at Companies House. Sevco 5088 was listed in the company’s announcement dated 22 April 2013 to comply with the AIM Rules for Companies requiring disclosure of directorships held by the directors of the company both currently and during the preceding 5 years. Sevco 5088 was not the acquisition vehicle which purchased the assets of Rangers Football Club.”
I await our intrepid MSM quizzing RIFC over both the failure to have this company struck off and the continuing involvement of Mr Green who was reappointed in February of this year – all of this in a company that has an outstanding Letter Before Claim against RIFC, of sufficient concern that it was noted in the Annual Accounts for RIFC as a Contingent Liablility.
Or are they waiting for Mr Whyte to reassume his directorship of Sevco 5088?
Like to thank all those who visited Tony’s blog, those who welcomed him here last night, and those who went a step or two beyond that.
He thanks all of you and wishes he had more energy to personalize his thanks.
He can only operate his computer with his eye movement, so it is very tiring to type out messages this way, hence one message on the board from him for us all. (He also had some other health issues this week.) He reads all your messages of support though and loves humour – so don’t be strangers.
Thank you from Tony, wife Amanda, daughters Cora (6) and Louise (2).

HH & love to all
Not knowing what the U17 game was like the other night, cos I wasn’t there…
But most of the MSM reports go along the lines of – sevco fans turned up not wearing colours (dodgy) and sang their songs of hate all night, set of fireworks, bangers & flares before ripping up 100 seats. Celtic fans set off a smoke bomb.
The reports then explain along the lines of both are as bad as each other, with a pic of Celtic fans.
I know I shouldn’t take any notice, but it’s bloody annoying.
At the risk of appearing sanctimonious,I found this on Tony,RWE jr’s blog.
Bearing in mind the situation he finds himself in,it’s a quite incredible sentiment.

Well 5088 is a mystery.
Remember Green claimed to be the sole director and applied to dissolve it only for Whyte to lodge a form that says he was also a director and put a stop to the disolution. Recently it looked like some sort of agreement had been reached between Green and Whyte (nice ring to that phrase) whereby it looked as if Green was now sole director and could go ahead and dissolve it.
Now that proposal to strike 5088 off has been suspended. So the company that had an irrevocable agreement with Duff and Phelps to buy the assets (but not the history, because history can’t be bought and sold) of Rangers, still exists. It is not going away easily.
Tom Molach
Thanks for that and very interesting too!
The plot thickens, or can it get any thicker?
Can the huns get any thicker?

Did green not say that he made Sevco 5088 Scotland , change to just Sevco 5088 at one point?

Summa of Sammi
The author of that article also wrote a chapter in the recent book Football, Bigotry and Scotland.
He is consistent in his theme of addressing the hateful element that accompanies the game whenever both teams meet and I hope his voice is heard across the divide.

RIP bob Hoskins,
TD67 – D&P agreed the sale to Sevco 5088. Green reasoned that he thought it should be kept withing Scotland and set up Sevco Scotland and it was sold to that instead.
I think.
Far be it from me to jump on the bandwagon of those who have Neil Lennon’s jacket hanging on a shoogly peg or want to drive him to the lower reaches of the EPL.
However, after a friendly debate with, well, a friend two theories have been suggested:
[1] Neil will oversee the team through the CL qualifiers but will then depart, having set the Hoops up nicely in the group stages (leaving as a hero) or will depart with his tail between his legs.
[2] Guide the Bhoys to 4-in-a-row, last achieved under Jock, leaving him in a legendary position.
A change is as good as a rest???

Neil is here for the long haul, Nostradamus….and he certainly won’t leave on speculation etc from the bhun media etc…HH
Bognorbhoy
you can only stand in wonder about the strength of the wee man and his family
God bless them all
Let’s see if I have got the gist of the latest Sevconian shenanigans?
The The Rangers fans want a man they accuse of a crime (Wallace) to step down, and man convicted of crime (King) to step up and take over?
No I think I’ve got that wrong, they want a man who no one has accused of any crime to step down and a man convicted of 41 seperate crimes, each carrying a 2-year jail term or R3.208 fine penalty to take over?
Think I will have to go and lie down as there is something I am not getting here!

All players signed in recent years whom I feel have done quite well in some cases, very well in others, and exceptional in the case of Kris.
All from clubs within Scotland or England.
Vic and Virgil ,Mikael and perhaps Efe the notable players in recent years in respect of value from foreigners coming in?
I won’t argue with anyone who wants to add to the foreign player list of recent years, eg being perhaps Joss, but in general, is the domestic market looking as good a place to shop as the foreign leagues? Better value for money? Players more suited to the ” British’ style of football?
———————————————————————————–
Debatable.
Ki,Victor,wee Emilio,Kayal(first season).
More recently,Nir Biton and Stefan Johansen.
Can’t comment on the Snodgrass chap,as I don’t watch English or international football.
£3.5million does sound like a lot of money though for a player with only one year left on his contract,so he must be a decent enough footballer.
If the club is going to spend money…there are some amazing footballers in the SPFL the club should buy,so I agree with you on that score.
Also judging by the online map of the stadium,there seems to be very few tickets left available for the Dundee United game.

G’day Celts
Have the Scottish media apologised to Celtic FC and the Celtic support for portraying the Celts the same as the horrible hordes of Huns who support Sevco 2012.
I’m on hols and not up to date with all the news, just looking for some apologies and admittance of failure by paid employees of what should be a responsible group of media.
How far does the media in Scotland have to go before they wisen up.
