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.

I think we need to keep things in perspective here.
Debt free club.
£22m in the bank.

According to STV the motion to remove Murray from the board of The Rangers has come from Blue Pitch Holdings

Some brilliant one liners on twitter re
#seehowitturnsout
I am with Cardiffbhoy et al. Surprised also that anyone on here thinks there is even a chance of further punishment of The Rangers. Did we not learn after the Tax Case affair, the Twin Contracts etc. We were firmly put in our places by the farcical judgements. I am afraid despite all thr spivery that is going on this is as good as it gets for us.

Sitting in a garage in G67 waiting on new tyres reading twitter aloud to my Bhoy … Clientele currently growling at me … Wait til they hear me recite Paul’s article :-)

Blue Pitch Holdings probably want to sell their percentage and walk. The Bus Company boys can probably find the cash to buy what Blue Pitch own . Blue Pitch might see Murray as being someone who might take a negative view re the bus boys increasing their share. Remove him and things might get easier .
Great article Paul
Absolutely nailed it.
Campbell Ogilvie……wouldn’t want to be him
He must be regretting the minute he ever heard the words ” Hello Campbell, I’m David , your new boss”
What’s he thinking now though.
Should I continue to protect these shysters, just because I was a shareholder and supporter of the old Rangers ? Maybe he’s thinking was all of this worth it for an EBT or some tax free cash ? ( I wonder if Souness is thinking the same)
Maybe he’s thinking , if I had any backbone at all I could have prevented this by blowing the whistle at an early stage.
He’s probably thinking, it’s only a matter of time before I am exposed along with the others who broke rules and invented others, just to help a team who would be too toxic for Lance Armstrong and Ben Johnson .
When you have an organization who have had to part company with a CEO , a head of referees and a top referee , all for either Pro Rangers or anti Celtic rule breaking , we shouldn’t be surprised that Ogilvie will shamelessly attempt to see this out.
However , I hope he doesn’t resign. If he resigns he goes without being forced from office. He will get to go on his own terms. I hope that he is further exposed and that enough member clubs are sufficiently outraged to vote for his sacking and expulsion.
He along with Peat, Gordon Smith , Dallas , Longmuir and Ballantyne ( each and every one a Rangers supporter) have shamed Scotland and Scottish football . They don’t have the morals to own up to their shameful behavior nor the class to do act in an appropriate manner .
They never had the ability to run Scottish football, and that’s been more than obvious for quite some time

Treatise oan:
The salient differences ,,, in APPLYIN’…
“Uncommon Sense”..as .. Opposed tae.. the mair Common.. “Common Sense.”
tae a Vexin’ Problem.
Noo…
Uncommon Sense, invokes…
Celtic Must SELL…
Wanyama… Hooper…and Let Padddy .. Go.
No ifs, ands or Buts.
Celtic, need the Funds that wull be generated by the sale of their Two Prize Players.
and , carry oan …in the same vein..
“Uncommon Sense” wiz… regrettably.. Flouted, when Paddy wiz gien a renewed Contract a few years ago.
“Uncommon Sense” ,dictated that Paddy wiz totally .. MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY..
unsuited , tae Play REGULARY… in a League such as the Burly and the Hurly.. Accent oan the Burly.. S.P.L.
Paddy, Should Not Have bin given a New Contract, “way back when”.
He simply Did Not Deserve one.
but, nevertheless.. A Mistake wiz made..and He goat wan..
Celtic, Must noo Scramble? .. several years Latah..
In Full Blown… Festina Lente,Fashion… tae Rectify that
Glaring Booboo..
Bettah Late than Nevah, Ah suppose.
But, Hiv Celtic loined that..
“It diznae Pay.. tae.. well.. Flout…
“Un-Common Sense.”?
Poisonally.. Ah seriously Doubt That.
Celtic, are very much prone tae be influenced, by..
the. mair Common..
“Common Sensers.”..who are firmly embedded in the Majority… among thur Legions of Fans.. especially, in the Re-Newal of Contracts area..
and.. also, when it comes tae.. Cashing In… oan wan or mair… o’ their Prime Assets.
The Crack Celtic Executive Team… are ,therefore..
usually a Dollar Shoart and a Day Late…in making that decision.
Henryk , wiz a Prime example of that Faulty Failing.
They let him go fur.. a Bunch of …”NOTA BEANS”!
like Ah toldya.. Mr. Lawell et al.. wur..
” A Year late and ..A Buncha Dollars. Shoart” in cashing in oan the rare talents o’ the wonderful.. Henryk
Noo.. Fur A Shoart Treatise oan.. “Common Sense.”
Common Sense , tells wan.. that
A Fitba’ Team,in order tae CONTINUE.. tae be a Successful One…

Fur, Obtaining a Star Player is a very tough Road tae Hoe..

Common sense , demands that ye… well
Haud oanta Him ,in a Deadly Grip.. Until…
Death dae Ye Part!
Noo..
Wanyama and Hooper, soitenly qualify,in spades, fur that Title. Star Players,
Same thinking goes. fur Paddy..
Paddy,is A Brilliant Fitba Player.. He is a Sparklinl’
Entertainer..
Folk, jis luv his Antics.. He is like a breath o’ fresh air.. so they believe..
Therefore, According tae the Prevailing.. Common Sense.. as espoused by those
Faithful tae the End..Paddy fans..
Who Vociferously Claim.
That..
Paddy, should be Retained oan the Payroll. Fur he is Quite a Unique Type of Player. Wan who comes aroon.. only once or twice..in a Lifetime.
Entertainers, are a Rare Breed ,in the Beautiful Game..at this time.
Howevah.. Me?
Ah wid Plump fur a Regular … Twenty Four.. Seven.. Fit as a Fiddle..

THE EXILED TIM, 14:26
Has he posted the 8 min-long tape yet?
Paying the price
AEK Athens said they are preparing to declare bankruptcy and seek relegation to the third division.
AEK were relegated from the Super League for the first time in their 89-year history in the season just ended. They are in serious financial difficulties and reported to owe 170 million euros in taxes.
Almost the entire first-team squad was sold off to secure a licence and preserve their top-flight status at the start of the 2012-13 season.
At an emergency shareholders’ meeting on Tuesday, the club announced they would not play in Greece’s second tier next season and would formally begin the process leading to liquidation when their new board meets on June 7.
“Following today’s extraordinary general meeting of AEK a new three-member board of directors was elected,” the club said in a statement.
“The board will hold a new general meeting on June 7 to discuss the liquidation of the company and the appointment of liquidators.
“Also the club has decided to submit a statement to the Football League organisation that AEK will not participate in the Football League’s second division.”
Oil trader Dimitris Melissanidis is expected to take control of the club in a rebuilding project that could include the construction of a new stadium. Melissanidis, 61, served as AEK president from 1992-93 and 1994-95.
AEK were penalised five points for a pitch invasion in their penultimate match which was abandoned as a result.
Wee fra, pain scale set at 7.
