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.

After turbulent times, the future is looking rosy at Ibrox, especially with the news that Malcolm Murray will be forced out after all the recent shenanigans.

Jon Daly was offered £3k a week at sevco, he was then offered £3500 a week, he was offered £1500 a week at DU, don’t think anything has changed

I suspect some of what’s contained in these items (being posted) will be of interest to them then.
Oh the shark has, many lap dogs
And he drip feeds, Yorkshire tripe
Just a tape deck has old Craig Whyte dear
And he keeps it, out of sight.

Problem I and many others have over all this, is the lack of action by the powers that be.
I have no doubts that a fraud has taken place, yet the lack of action speaks volumes.
Take the registration of the huns players, illegal, that was a fraud that was committed against scottish football, it cost our club the potential to earn of hundreds of millions.
I agree with others that the silence from our club is shamefull,. they are not protecting the shareholders, nor the supporters who pump money into the club year after year.

That was very good………………………….for you:0)
Kayal33,
Good point!
It seems that some sort of conviction, or at least allegation of fraud, is a prerequisite over Ibrox way.
Not on agenda and I know the musos are normally on the night shift but this is getting air play on Radio 6.
Story about a schooloy signing for Manure. Scottish singer. Don’t know anything about him but song very poignant. Can be added to very short list of good football songs

What are Celtic going to do about the “not fit for purpose SFA”?
Celtic have representatives on the SFA executive .
They are complicit in this aswell.
Is it a case that Celtic will do and say nothing because , they are building relationships within the SFA ?
That they have a longer term goal?
If this is the case then they are clearly compromised.
Celtic’s silence is deafening.

Not with the size of sally’s head……
Think I’ll bet stubbsy each way for everton job.
On what will happen next with the SFA is that the bears will turn against them.
Like us they expect the SFA to stop spivs taking charge and are beginning to realise they are being shafted by their own club ( quite a bit of interest in the on line business case Ive linked to a few times from the soo sider support) by the SFA and by the msm and the likes of BFDJ and Chris Graham.
They will trust no one and like us will be looking for some form of assuarances before spending their dosh.
The msm, sensing the change if mood will start to question in a serious way the SFA’s policy towards The Rangers and the SFA themselves will realise it is becoming self harming.
When that happens, that is when previous behaviour ceases to produce the desired result and becomes self harming, then the behaviour changes to produce a result that is not so.
That is human nature, you can bet your cave on it :) .

Celtic’s silence is wonderful, and the correct strategy……….never disturb the enemy when they are destroying themselves………any comment from Celtic would be media mana…..

Beckham with Phil Neville as his assistant
Very strange that the only real newspaperman in Scotland hasn’t come all guns blazing to quell the fire of speculation that’s roaring up sevco’s away end. Why would you pay someone £250 000 per year to garden?
Meanwhile janny Mather as let it be known that if he finds out who it is that’s writing up their fantasy football team on the blackboard, there’ll be hell to pay!
The Easter egg with’ arms has been told he can sign 10 new players for next season, he’s also been warned by Roy Cropper lookaklike, Walty Smith, that the have to be at least as good as the nuggets he unearthed the last time.
Finally, will all shareholders be invited to the EGM?

The fact that Ogilvie is still in his job says everything.
For me their are two things that make this story more important.
Firstly it comes on the back of last year’s and will contaminate more than just big bad Craigy.
Secondly, what they have been up to has brought in the SFO and police and can’t end up as some in-house PR exercise for the self-policing SFA
I think it was The Battered Bunnet who in past times on this site used the term Deus ex Machina.
Apparently this was a stage device in Greek and Roman drama in which a god appeared in the sky by means of a crane (Greek, mechane) to resolve the plot of a play. Plays by Sophocles and Euripides sometimes used the device. The term now denotes something that appears suddenly and unexpectedly and provides an artificial solution to an apparently insoluble difficulty.
The Greek god of mockery is Momus.
Maybe he would be the very man for the job.
Anybody remember a poster on this site who used that name for a short time ?

You’ve sdone it again, with ‘This river is entering the rapids where it will more than flow by itself.’

Hiya, Pal?
Nice tae meet ye.
And Here ur Ma thoughts oan the Matter at Haun..
Sir Paul..and I, are in Lock-Step..in Maist Things.
Except…
That He is Mair Insistent… in “Bangin’ His Heid” agin the Doors o’ Leatherby Drive..
Than.. Ah am!
Waste of Time. says Me..
The S.F.A./S.P.L. ur
“Are… whit They Ur”
They Wull Nevah Change..in Retainin’ an Animus agin the Celtic..and a Liking .. tae oor
Hateful Rivals…
and Most Importantly..
They Canny Be Made tae Change!
They ur Jist.. like Ah said..
They Are Whit they Ur.
And Whit is That. ye may ask?
Well..
They are the Installed.. Caretakers..of the Rule of The Establishment..
By and for…. The Establishment..
and that is a Fact…whether ye like it or no.. and I dinna like it wan bit..
and.. as Such..
Their Joab is tae.. well… Act as Enablers fur whitevah .. The Establishment Orders
is in the Interest of the Establishment ..and its Scions.
They are NOT oan the Side o’ the Righteous..(Footers)
They ARE .. oan the Side o’ The Lefteous… (Footers)
In conclusion:
A long Time Ago..
Godot.. Granted me Ma Wish..
” Gie me the strength and the Serenity.. tae Accept..
The Thingmies that Ah Canny Chinge…
and the Mallam
and the Courage tae Admit .. When Ah am Beat!”
Pal..
Ah hiv said it..oan Here afore..
And Ah wull Noo Say it .. AGAIN.
“Face it,Folks…The Offices at Leatherby Drive.. are the Lair o’ the Hydra..
and ye know whit a Hydra Is?
Chop oaff.. wan.. two .. or Three o’ it’s Heids..
and It wull Jist… Grow.. Some Mair.. that ur Worser than the wans that Ye jist
Choapped Aff!”
I , therefore, Propose..
That..
The only Uncommonsensical Thing tae Dae..
IF Celtic are evah gonna Get a Square Deal..
is
Tae
Get the Hell …Oota Dodge!
And that is Awe She Wrote.

Whats bugging me, it that this is serious fraud, giving them a license last season and again this season to compete in a multimillion pound industlry they dont qualify to participate in, irrespective of sporting status, were they are swindling millions of the general public out of thousands a year must surely be at least organised crime, no
K33- Kenwright likes a bit of box office.
Diner Tec?
I cannot fathom why they lay so much store by a guy with 350+ cases of fraud laid at his door by the South African plod?
He seems to be the ‘go to’ good guy?
The Easdale bloke having done porrige for fraud is a saint by comparison.
Can you imagine the press we would have got with these type of shady characters ?
