Milan’s mistake with their Champions League squad – they inadvertently included Stephan El Shaarawy in their restricted A List of players, instead of the B List, denying a place in either list for M’Baye Niang, is welcome news. Their squad is strong, with or without Niang, but the oversight lends credence to the notion that a malaise has settled over the club. Director, Umberto Gandini apologised, but already the Milanese are focused on what they don’t have in their armory as a result of the oversight – an excuse for failure is ready made.
I met the owner of an IT company shortly before they went into liquidation and asked him who he had on his board. “Are you not on our board too?” was his jocular response. The company had already gone through a couple of difficult years. With each passing period investors became increasingly concerned; they all wanted a place around the boardroom table, convinced that their gilt-edged experience would be able to guide the company through its troubles.
The chief exec had to cope not-so-much with a boardroom full of captains of industry (which they were), as another pressure group to satisfy, along with clients, creditors, staff and the bank (they may have been weeks from liquidation, but they still had borrowing, this was not a Metro Bank deposit account-only operation).
The chief exec understood the industry and, left to his own devices, stood a sporting chance at survival, but when the boardroom table became occupied by a parcel of rogues the game was up.
On a completely separate matter, I am delighted at the prospect of Paul Murray and John McClelland having a second shot at being a non-executive director of a football club. Wikipedia’s definition of the roles of a non-exec is worth a cursory glance to indicate why. They did so well last time. The others, who it is proposed will share a place at Newco’s table, also appear perfect for the role. If only Sir David would come out of retirement and join them.
Will one of the many directors insist that The Rangers Football Club Ltd submits its Annual Return to Companies House? Under its previous name, Sevco Scotland Ltd, The Rangers Football Club Ltd bought liquidation assets from Duff and Phelps, and which, according to Rangers International’ PLC’s interim financial statement in March, was incorporated into the PLC’s group.
The Return is over two months late. Perhaps, with so many directors available for comment, one will be asked by a journalist or shareholder why the company which bought all the assets has not submitted basic information, revealing ownership details. Perhaps not. No hurry, a striking off notice will be weeks away.

Doc is supporting Oscar and McKenzie.

A censor I am not, and an idiot I am not either, NO self respecting Celtic Supporter would post that, you like that go ahead fill your boots, I tell you there are Huns in here and I have been saying it for weeks. Huns GIRFUY
No problem,pal.
Bullying bugs me.Even bullying huns.That`s their culcher.
That`s all.
MoonHowling just confuses me.
Doc
To be honest i have no problem with huns posting on here.To be honest I would like to have serious and honest debates with them (without any abuse,name calling etc) i think it would be good
But coming on pretending to be Celtic fans,stirring up trouble,and posting racist junk like that,Well that shouldnt be tolerated
Turkeybhoys mask slipped the other night when he referred to DD as an “irish twat”
Now plenty of people on here dont like DD but none would insult his nationality
Zombies are in short supply in Kentucky…….

Calabam, many posters put post from other sites on here.
WITS, no Tim would call DD that.
They may not like him, but…… Ta for the heads up.
Macjay
So I am a bully? Because I rip into a Hun on CQN, that must a first, do you think I will get a ban?
Doc, you tube I can live with! but not that, I really could’nt care if he is or is not a HUN, I personally just cant stand that song, to have it posted 4 or 5 different verisons just shouts out! get it up you to me! I maybe wrong and I hope I am. Seriously he maybe a young man or woman that has to learn what is expected and excepted.
Tony
I didn`t call you a bully.
That would have been bullying.
:-)
Bless me father for I have sinned :))
I skim deluded media now and again and have read some of the maddest thing ever
their delusion knows no bounds and has often perked me up with their stupid stupid comments,
Although there is plenty bile also which I would not put on here.
Doc – re: TurkeyBhoy’s post
If it was an isolated post, then I would probably agree with you – in fact, I usually do.
However, a couple of posts have really jarred with me over the past week or so as being odd, and I think ‘What is the Stars, 22:47 on 5 September, 2013’ may have called this one correctly.
“…Ah Turkeybhoy – So We have had “Irish Twat”, “Plastic Paddy ” and now this nonsense…hmmmmm…”.
Of course, you may well know the guy – if so, fair enough – but certainly some decidedly unusual comments for a Celtic forum

Sorry ,lads.
My wife is giving me the look.
Definitely afoot.
Is it true that Wales manager Chris Coleman let his passport expire and is unable to travel with the team? :)))
macjay1 for Neil Lennon! she may have just had some wind!!
MacJay, I was mistaken, I would trust WITS guide here.
Calabam, also, I was mistaken, apologies.
I take posters at face value, naive or trusting?
Lesson learnt.
Doc, Trusting I would say, your a normal man, I trust until let down, thats what makes the world go round
Now here is a bully

During the live updates of the routine recent Celtic away victory at Tannadice there appear to have been three talking points,
A) Celtic Won
B) Anthony Stokes moved the ball *MSM masonic coverage*
C) A Dundee Utd player kicked a Celtic player – *whilst noboby but us, and the SFA believe it or not, were looking *
SKY COMPLETELY MISSED IT CSC
BGFC, aye,
Calabam, also aye.
Not for the first time I gave the benefit of the doubt and was wrong!
Might not be the last.
Their vile songs will remain with them forever……from the cradle to the the grave……nursery rythms they never heard
Doc
dont worry about it,I normally dont pay too much attention to them,they like to stir things up,jump on the anti board bandwagon etc ( and by the way I appreciate there are plenty of decent genuine passionate tims on here who are very anti board,i am not accusing any of them of being huns)
But posting several verses of versions of The Billy Boys,well enough said
Anyway Ireland and Scotland both to win tomorrow (hopefully)

He aint no bully a mis understood boy granted,
Calabam, hope so.
WITS, a double win would be good, TurkeyBhoy hasn’t been back to defend himself so….
Night Ghents.
Guys….I know it is midnight but I need some techie help.
When I try to type an apostrophe – I get è
When I try to type a question mark – I get É
WTF is goinÈ OANé
Doc,
Hopefully not pal, I tell you what if he is not a HUN I wont feel to good about myself, I bet he’s a 14 your old tim trying to impress.

The advice I can give you is dont type an ‘ or a ?
Calabam
Surely you mean a È or a è :)

They showed it 3 times on the day. I dont think SKY have an agenda, they have given us some great hype prior to some big matches

Bravo and all that.
Doc is supporting Oscar and McKenzie.
I like people who trust and give the benefit of the doubt,for me it is a good trait.
Though I have been stung more times than I care to remember
If im wrong I learn (usually) :)))
Good night all and thank you for being here.
Doc – mate, don’t give it another thought, please.
As I said, I have never, even once, had a go at anyone on here. Like you I’m sure, I always try to see the other side of any discussion – happy to take in all points of view.
The “Irish Twat” comment the other day did, however, make me think “that is a hun plant” (no sh!t, Sherlock I know!!), and I do wish I had challenged that at the time.
Just like Oor Sally, there are a few sleekit’ ones out there.
I’m just glad that there are Bhoys on here who are much better at spotting them than I am!! :-)

Nighty, night chaps – off to bed for me.
