Payoffs, what price silence in these circumstances?

883

There’s lots of understandable media interest in the anticipated parting of the ways of ‘Greatest (only) Ever Rangers Manager’ Ally McCoist and newco.  McCoist, as ever, has let it be known that he’s looking for a £400k golden handshake, which will almost certainly have the club offer more of its commercial assets to Mike Ashley if it is to be funded.

I hope he gets everything he asks for, bleed them dry, Ally, even if they need to sell more of their IP.

Irrespective of the final settlement, the most important outcome of the termination meetings is whether or not McCoist agrees to a silence clause in return for his cash.  More than anything else, this club needs some straight talking from trusted sources who know where the bodies are buried.

The cash will be tempting for Ally, but his open and frank voice going forward is of vastly more value to his club, if not to him.  The most debilitating scenario would be an Ashley-funded settlement with a silence clause.  Go for it, Ally.

I know at Christmas your thoughts are never far from Billy No’well.  Billy has broken new ground in the Bampot stakes and released a DVD with 17(!) of his videos.  Full details here.

You can also order the CQN Annual and DVD bundle here. It’s a great offer, check it out – tons of great reading and photos on your favourite indulgence.

If you’re late on the blog, there was an earlier article today.

  1. Starry the name is familiar and I am certain we have met. mines is Paul Gallagher. Kenny and his family and mine grew up together, loved music together, fought together (and occasionally with each other) and gen rally raged against the world. They taught me everything I needed to survive and thrive…….

    Do you need your season card as I need to go get mini and my nephews their tickets..

  17. Has Celticrollercoaster been on?

     

     

    At the 5s he was explained that he is taking his role at the CQN Adjudicator very seriously. He has all the raffle numbers and plans to put these into some machine he has acquired which will select numbers randomly. He has also recruited two young ladies in his office to act as independent witnesses. This will happen in the morning so he will announce the winners tomorrow.

  18. I remember lomg haired. It was hilarious the so called fighting.

     

     

    Starry. Hilarious.mwinning any money on those cards always resulted in a de facto loss of money by the time you bought the rounds. It was a kind of gentle yet aggressive socialism……

     

     

    Kenny was always ahead of his time in his thinking. He and james are my friends but were always secretly my heroes too.

  19. BT I did have your email addy before but when I checked it seems Virgin remove old emails.

     

     

    Bustards….

    It was always a hotly contest local derby:))

     

     

    You had the Bhoy Larkin on the left wing used to rip me a new one every time I played against him..

  21. BT
