A moment of clarity from Newco assistant manager, Davie Weir on how far behind Celtic they are, “unless you’re spending £100 million or whatever the figure may be and even that doesn’t guarantee [success].”
This season Celtic will earn circa £50m more than Newco, £100m would address two years of deficit. Whereas Celtic are motoring with a worldwide recruitment strategy that’s delivering players ready for the challenge of Champions League football, Newco don’t have the experience or infrastructure to achieve value from a windfall (not that there’s one coming).
All of this talk of cash, on the back of some recently nuanced reporting, suggests Dave King’s election promises to spend whatever it takes are now seen for what they were.
A PR campaign convinced them to take their club from the hands of one of Europe’s richest men and give it to the directors of took so much care of Oldco.

I liked the bit below from your 2015 link from Investigative churnalist
HANNAN
Is that what happened MR King reined n his oodles of millions
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“The fear is that if they don’t, then King will rein in his millions – and believe me, he has oodles of them – which will prolong Rangers’ woes and mean they won’t be able to challenge Celtic for, say, a decade or so. That would not be good for Scottish football, including the national squad.”

Scoddish churnalists…..huns wi crayons.
Clueless morons can hardly string a sentence together.

They are desperate characters.
You would get more sense out out of a baboon
Fools and Huns, thats all they are.

The SMSM are not journalists.
They are reporters.
They define the term.

So is the bookie court case partly about the independent bookies having a pop at the big chains?
STARRY PLOUGH @ 11:48 AM,
Well exactly!
That piece could have been written by Keith Jackson or Jim Traynor for that matter.
JC2 @ 11:57 AM,
Looking back at what I wrote, it’s sad that the National Team, the Capital’s Teams and Provincial Teams did not respond to the Opportunity.
Yet a factor has to be, despite DCK reining in his Millions:) the fact is NewCo have been allowed to Financially dope – ok they don’t have the tens of Millions that were available to Rangers but – they have built up an unsustainable debt that the other Clubs wouldn’t get away with.
Think for Martin Hannan, just like Davie Weir the penny has finally dropped.
Even grossly financially doped and carrying on the cheating, there is no way NewCo could Compete with Celtic.

Good afternoon CQN from a rather overcast Dumbreck, as usual the proximity to Mordor has blotted out the sun. However, I was over at the local Church this morning and a few parishioners were gathered around looking at the Snowdrops which were beginning to bloom. The consensus was Spring is on its way my cynical reply was that they all might be in for a shock ;-)
Congratulations to Jamesgang.
I also received my e-mail, from BRTH, this morning informing me that I will be in the same Lisbon hotel as Old Tim and BT. I replied to it opining that Old Tim will be pleased that he will be able to keep me in order, having been told by him on several occasions that I am a rather noisy bassa.
