Proof that top level football is not always great

807

Yesterday was not a particularly good day for football.  The Edinburgh cup final was played before a half empty Hampden long before the end and Chelsea’s revival of catenaccio secured the Champions League.  If nothing else the latter proved that football at the very top level is not always great.  Perhaps the reason why truly great teams are so celebrated.

There is an interesting dynamic to Rangers in administration.  Creditors have a cash offer of around £8.5m to consider but eight players, Naismith, Bocanegra, McGregor, David, Whittaker, Goian, Lafferty and Edu cut release clause deals with Duff and Phelps for values greater than this.

Any CVA agreed next month (unlikely though it is) could be paid for by the departure of these players.  Charles Green could potentially be the second person to buy Rangers for only £1.

It is, however, unlikely that other clubs will offer money for these players before a CVA is agreed as they will be available as free agents should the CVA fail and those in control of Ibrox attempt to form a Newco.  Therefore, the chances of creditors getting their hands on any of these transfer fees are limited, no matter what happens to the company.

    Nope sorry won’t do ;-) – ‘I didn’t arrive here as a Celtic supporter’ – that’ll be more than enough for the microcosm of the Strachan Strachan GTF Brigade.

     

     

    Of which I made add, whose number, may not even have reached a few hundred.

     

     

    MSM malevolence tried the rest of the hatchet work, on WGS’s superb sequence as manager, one he’ll find difficult to repeat anywhere other than at Celtic where he was

     

    ingratiated, and lorded with open arms.

     

     

    ‘Celtic Minded’ remains largely a figment for the barren wastelands of a Hugh Keevins type capability.

    Dermott Desmond allegedly plead with GS to stay offering him a job for life.

     

     

    I think it was time for a change. Probably a year too late. He should’ve gone out on the high of Tannadice.

  4. No wish to become embroiled in an argument but I came upstairs to watch the Italian cup final, saw the first 15 minutes or so and woke up just as Napoli were being presented with the trophy!!

     

     

    Whilst watching I caught up in the posts in here. I strongly disagree with pretty much all that Wonkyradar said but not for a second do I believe he’s a hun, possibly I’m being naive.

     

     

    Anyway, it gets on my **** the way that occasionally the response from some on here is to refer to someone as a hun purely because they have a different opinion or have been critical of someone related to Celtic.

     

     

    Maybe I live in a bubble but in my world, this doesn’t happen unless a keyboard is involved.

  5. Just a quick one the feeling I have its games a bogey there will not be a Rangers under any circumstances next season we need to live with that

    I’ve been incredibly busy since Friday if it’s ok I’ll give you a text or call tomorrow?

    totally agree people bought into the “WGS bad” as MSM realised feck if Rangers dont qualify for Chumps league they are fecked. Lets divided and conquer Celtic support…

     

     

    Oh so many took up the bait.

    Far too many supporters bought into the msm hype, the same supporters who never paid any attention to the media hype btw.

  8. hamiltontim

     

     

    I agree with you on that.

     

    I asked wonkyradar about his post on Gordon Strachan, he just said he was in a bad mood and made a bit of a fud of himself now and again.

     

    Not a crime.

    Phil is tweeting that the report into dual contracts at the Horribles is in and is being discussed by the SPL Board tomorrow.

     

     

    Will Neil Doncaster be commenting afterwards?

     

     

    Will the Report be published in the new spirit of transparency being called for by Comical Ally?

     

     

    Will it be kept under wraps until after the full vote on the 30th of May re a newco?

     

     

    If so, for whose benefit?

     

     

    This is big stuff.

     

     

    Never mind how old is your granny chat between refs and hun captains, suppressing this report would, to coin a phrase, be the mother of all conspiracies.

    Gordon Strachan was perhaps the worst manager in the history of this great club.

     

     

    Terrible,terrible football.Mundane in the extreme.Despair was the primary emotion during his tenure.

     

     

    I don’t even want to think about that eejit,it depresses me.

     

     

    Thanks be Jesus that Lawwell eventually put a stop to the insanity,and said,”enough is enough.You can have have £50K to buy Willo Flood,and that’s yer limit.”

     

     

    The club was going backwards at a rate of knots,with him at the helm – I remain convinced that had WGS been allowed to continue,the club would have been facing relegation from the SPL.

     

     

    A downward spiral into mediocrity.

    I also liked him as a player.

     

    I remember the goal he scored at the WC, against Uruguay I think, he was too small to jump the hoardings, so he just lifted his leg up on to it, I thought it was funny anyways.

    Your post highlights why we should never buy or buy into the MSM in my opinion.

    Aye they are still doing it as we speak.

     

     

    Divide and conqure, feckin scum every last one of them.

     

     

    Looking forward to them ripping into each other when the huns go pop tho, all wanting to blame each other for their demise, then they will all turn on Timmy.

     

     

    All so predicitable.

     

    I hope they all spend the rest of time burning in their hell.

    for anyone who cares

     

     

    Zilina are now Slovak champions after their win today.

     

     

    Hopefully we will meet them in the CL

     

     

    Slovakia also came second in the world ice-hockey championships losing 6-2 to Russia. A fine achievement for a country of 5million.

     

     

    Some scumbag attacked me last night when I was down after Chelsea won. The guy was no football fan but he just wanted to hit someone- I was Johnny or Janko foreigner so I was it. My first bad experience abroad. It seems scumbags are everywhere.

     

     

    Never mind.

    We have a litany of very innovative, disruptive and hilarious huns who frequent this blog. One in particular is most committed. I wonder if he even has a badge.

     

     

    Who called who a hun?
