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.

    I think we need to keep things in perspective here.

     

     

    Debt free club.

     

    £22m in the bank.

     

    500m fanbase.

     

    World Record holders for fourth tier attendances (it helps if you ignore South America).

     

    £10m warchest.

     

    And the Ramsden Cup to look forward to.

    Cheers,mate

     

     

    I am very generous actually,he would have been in line for plenty had I won….

  3. 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.

    Fair, nothing to be boasting about, but that’s enough about my love life.

     

     

    Had a cracking day at Ayr the other week with The Mrs,

     

    Ruby started it all off at 9/2 for a few quid.

     

    Yourself?

  8. googybhoy, You just put a name on yourself, not that it matters a whit amongst friends.

    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 .

  11. 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

  21. 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.

  22. twists n turns on
