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.

    Sorry haven’t noticed that you asked this question previously.

     

     

    Basically this is how it works. When we were crowd funding the ad we had four options where you could buy 1, 2, 4 or 10 tickets.

     

     

    You got a confirmation email from CQN which had an order number.

     

     

    If you bought 1 raffle ticket your confirmation number will go into the raffle once. If you bought 2 tickets your number goes in twice and so on…

     

     

    Hope that helps.

    Awe Naw is a computer chap, he can click on your blog name, and cos he is so good, he has the ability to hack all your personal files, bank stuff, anything he wants.

     

     

    In fact, he managed to hack every posters e mails a few years ago, just for a hoot.

     

     

    But as I said, he is a mere novice compared to the cave mhan.

    I would have our captain in our team wherever he is needed, people who either dislike him or for any other reason like to dismiss him that is up to them, Biton on the other hand could protect our back 4 comfortably, and this is no slur on Charlie Mulgrew but our captain and Charlie have protected WGS’s Scotland’s defence quite admirably and I personally think Biton is more mobile and has a better football brain than Charlie…..no slur on Chas Mulgrew because I think he has been very good for us
