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.

    Sorry for the ‘yer man’ reference, in hindsight I shouldnt have said that. I didnt note the name when i read it then couldnt be bothered going back to check.

     

     

    CRC, Neil Lennon was here this week and left a load of Celtic shirts for the kids so Oscar got one of those! Must get a pic of him wearing it and tweet the club and lenny to say thanks.

     

     

    We will hopefully be able to discharge him tomorrow to come stay in the house with us

  2. Evening All,

     

     

    Thanks again to BJ for arranging the golf, and em, aye, congrats on your win.

     

     

    Not even tainted… lol

     

     

    Thanks to my comrades today bennybhoy, laddy mcgeary and one of the larsson7’s a great laugh had.

     

     

    One of the highlight’s was a shot by larsson7’s which had a mid-flight shout of up, up, up……. and away.

     

     

    p.s laddy mcgeary, I won the sweepstake with Calbam being the first to complain on here about us enjoying our sunday stroll. You should have backed him, but in saying that you didn’t know he was the most hen-pecked….

    Can you put me down for a badge please mate.

     

     

    Hope you’re well.

  4. Guys,

     

     

    Off to bed soon but a small issue I was presented with tonigt which I will ask you to muse over and give your views over the ‘wee small hours’ for those of you staying up.

     

     

    I shall keep the facts clear and succinct.

     

     

    My sibling is married to an ex rangers player.

     

    My son and I are strong Glasgow Celtice fans.

     

    My son has (inline with my open lifestyle) friends who are both Celtic and rangers fans.

     

    my sons close friend comes in tonight and asks me if I can ask to get an article from my brother in law to auction for the RFF and can I ask him to donate something ( quote from sons friend “it’s none of that sash crap” )

     

     

    I will not tell you my reply but your comments will tell me more about Celtic fans than anything I have read to date, please don’t let me down.

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

    I’m good buddy been a busy weekend and struggling to stay awake. Catch up soon hopefully!

    The actions you do define you as a person .

     

    When Gordon strachan became the Celtic manager he appointed tommy burns as his assistant.

     

    When tommy passed away he brought Neil lennon back to paradise .

     

    The football was not always the best but he won and on a limited budget .

     

    And for that he will always be a good Celtic man who gave his all for Celtic football club.

    So that elephant in the room just wont go away will it…

     

    From 6 months ago…..

     

     

    AAh the Green tinted hatred of WGS emerges yet again. Proddie dog factor I think. 3 titles, 3 cups and 2 last 16 in Champions league.

     

    Better record than O’Neill in the Champions league.

     

    Why does this keep cropping up?

     

     

    Are prayers being offered to expunge his Celtic record or something?

    Ask your brother in law to donate a pay slip that indicates the tax that was withheld and sell it for to the highest bidder for the RFF. These scraps of paper are going to become quite important soon.
