Mr Ogilvie, you’re going to need a bigger shredder

907

Lots of details became available yesterday but if you can drag yourself away from the most gratuitous, concentrate on the dates.

12 December 2012.

One week before the IPO.  Material information disclosed to the nomad?

21 June 2012.

Four weeks after Mr Whyte was banned from participating in Scottish football, enabling Newco to exist.

11 months before one of Mr Whyte’s collaborators is proposed as a director of Newco.

What the spivs have done to that club, assisted by the most stupid people to own keyboards and journos on-the-make, is breath-taking.  How did the idiots manage to take over?  There is a lesson for humanity here.

On a related subject:

“Craig Whyte’s involvement would be hidden from the SFA and SPL”.

Mr Ogilvie, you’re going to need a bigger shredder.

You and your organisation are being openly mocked.  What was patently obvious to anyone remotely interested in following events to their logical conclusion a year ago is now evident to all.

I have no interest in you resigning now.  All the damage which could have been done to our game due to a lack of penetrative oversight, which is your job, has been done.  Your persistence is merely confirmation that the levels of corporate governance at the SFA remain unchanged.

Fans from SPL and SFL clubs found rock among the sand to build foundations on last year.  There remains a love of our game, and our clubs, among the detritus, but we have unquestionably been failed by the custodians of our game at Hampden Park, who I am convinced, will again bury their heads in the sand.

There is no going back, no quick fix, no one can put this right.  Nothing will ever be the same again.  Accept this and move on.

    Imagine doin’ a huddle in that situation….ouch. The thing is 16 roads got pulled for drinking a beer in public but if everyone walked around with a full length snooker cue concealed within their body I’m sure that, that would be deemed acceptable, just for the sheer lunacy of it. ;)

    Come down to Kilwinning and we can sing some REBS

     

     

    Then the locals will show you an entirely different method of concealing a snooker cue in your body!

     

     

    You keeping fine,buddy?

  4. UBIG, Vladimir Romanov’s holding company that owns 79% of the shares in the club, was declared insolvent in Lithuania on Thursday.

     

     

    It is believed the Scottish Premier League’s lawyers are currently examining their own rules over “insolvency events” – occasions when a club or its parent company get into financial problems.

     

     

    Findings from the league’s lawyers will be presented to an SPL board meeting on Monday, at which the club’s fate will be determined.

     

     

    It is understood the SPL is unlikely to view UBIG’s declaration as an insolvency event before it is confirmed by the Lithuanian courts although it is still consulting with its lawyers over Thursday’s announcement.

     

     

    With the official end of the SPL season coming after the games on Sunday, that means Hearts could be safe from the threat of a points deduction – and relegation – if UBIG does not have an administrator appointed before then.

     

     

    ……………………..

     

     

    Great their own lawyers trying to interpret their own rules.

     

     

    Interpret = bend

    doin just great mate. I mentioned a while ago to you that I was thinking of getting back into clan gaming, as if by Divine Providence, I now find myself the perfect game to get back into.

     

     

    It will mean cutting back on the drinking though. ;)) Well if I really want to do well.

     

     

    How is yer fine self m8ty, keeping Swindon Green and dare I say it, Whyte? :D

    Not those sites, I had a quick gander at Amazon though but the advice given was to physically hold the cue, not so much for me but more for the wee man (who isnae so wee now).

    Decided to do similar for Bristol last weekend,ably assisted by RIEPERMAN.

     

     

    GREAT dayoooot,great fella,great Craic and a blinkin’ smashing boozer as well!

     

     

    Eventually…..

     

     

    Two pubs of the same name within a mile of each other-guess which one I went to!

     

     

    I sometimes think VIZ named a character after me…..

  10. Looks like Spurs are the first to show their hand in the new round of salary brinksmanship in light of the BT Vision windfall next season, offering Bale a new contract on 170k per week.

     

     

    You can still only field 11 players in that league, but we’d better get ready to see more good SPL players leave to sit on EPL substitute benches on salaries we can’t hope to match. A mid-level EPL team won’t flinch to offer a squad player 40k per week.

  11. Looks like some of the bhoys and ghirls that were asked to relocate at CP might not need to now. Jock Stein upper and 414 can keep their seats if they wish.

     

    I think there may be more st being sold than first thought.

    Ye couldnae mak it up.

     

     

    Brilliant.

     

     

    Have a sooooperb weekend m8ty, dinnae be workin too hard, mind.

  13. Surely the issue with Hearts is firstly if an insolvency event has taken place and secondly when. If it has occurred and within the season then they should have the points deduction applied – regardless of when the SPL finally gets around to making a ruling.

    Not important. Hearts will be liquidated. No question about that.

    The silly money on offer in the English Premier will do nothing but harm to the game there. The overall quality is poor and simply throwing money at mediocre players isn’t the answer. Had Tottenham given fans a substantial reduction in ticket prices they would attract younger, lower paid supporters. As it is the average age of supporters is increasing.

    Gordon J -agree,i wonder if ex Hearts employee and EBT recipient Ogilvie has been advising…….?

    According to Mark ‘the Scottish Warren Buffet’ Guidi, as long as they keep the same manager, players, fans and wear Maroon, it won’t matter!

    I think it is important, it would save Dundee from relegation for starters, not that I have any love for Dundee, but they have a decent size support, and the Dundee derby is good for the game.

     

     

    As the sfa. spl know that Hearts will be liqudated, do the deed now.

  20. ‘crushed nuts?’ ‘Naw, Layringitis!’

     

     

    The stadium will be gone!

     

    Hearts will be a very small club in a very small ground for a long time to come.

     

    Regarding this same club nonsense. I like to remind anyone that mentions it the fairytale of the emperors new clothes. People see and believe what they want to believe. The facts are there for everyone to read if they want to.

    was there not something a while back about a hearts player being refused a mortgage then saying that wasn’t all his earnings he also had an ebt?

  22. THE EXILED TIM

     

     

    Dundee are the luckiest club in Scotland. twice benefiting from liquidation. I think it should be sorted now.

     

    Surprised Rangers aren’t making noises about it, but then should I? They have a liquidated, have we not been punished enough ally. They will both be pushing for reconstruction and being fast tracked up the leagues for the good of the game, bla, bla, bla.

     

    Couldn’t happen to 2 better clubs. Growing up in Livi you wuickly loathe the fans of these clubs equally. The majority partake in the same marching season!

    From today’s DR:

     

    In fact, the Hearts boss might have McCoist’s ‘crisis management hotline’ on speed dial.

     

     

    He’s beginning to know how the Rangers gaffer must have felt as his own club teetered on the brink of financial ruin and faced an uncertain future.

     

    *&*&*&*&*

     

    Yup! Swaldo’s the boy when it comes to really screwing things up properly.

     

    Who ya gonna call!? GUTBUSTER!!!!!!! :-)

    Morton might have a strong case to be promoted ,as Dundee were last season when the Zombies went.
