Rhetorical magic from old Lumley-troubler

1149

Old Lumley-troubled used a classic rhetorical technique yesterday. Give your target audience lots of points to consider which you know they will agree with; build empathy, get heads nodding, fists banging on tables, then slip in the line you are trying to sell. As a piece of prose, you have to respect the statement. This guy, or his writer, has not only read the Greeks, he’s understood their importance.

If Sir David is right, Rangers issued no side contracts, all non-discretionary payments to players in connection to football were registered, if the redacted contract which appeared in The Sun in March was a piece of fiction, if the prima facie evidence presented by Duff and Phelps was an error, he and his soon to be liquidated former club have nothing to worry about.

    Paisley Road West! There’s a question forming in my mind here!

     

     

    Even with the likes of HT and BT, the Patkville does the best brekky for miles around – I take my wee mammy once or twice a month.

     

     

    I’m gonny take my chances.

    I am totaly confused nothing new about that you say but for the life of me how can newco play at Ibrox ? is Ibrox not an asset that should have been sold to pay creditors to clear some of old Rangers debts ? How can they be signing new players I thought there was a signing ban? The laws of administration and tax evasion are certainly very different from my understanding of them.H.H.

  13. Btw,

     

     

    Meant to thank Marc for the badges. When I opened the envelope, I got the joke in the email. Thankfully, kids are easily manipulated – I got him to make the correct choice!

    I agree with you and Canamalar

     

     

    The only way that the SFA will be cleaned up is for it to happen also to UEFA.

     

     

    As Greenjedis reply above demonstrates they are only sn associate member therefore not entitled to a sfalicense.

     

     

    So a dodgy deal was struck with the perpetrators ….only in Scotland … These are the kind of deals you normally only associatie with third world despots.

     

     

    I reckon that Celtic have given tacit approval to a solution that is removed from football and carried out in court on a personal level. Individual against individual. Corporate entity against corporate entity.

     

     

    BDO has zero interest in football implications.

     

     

    SFA adopt the we are the appellate body rouse

     

     

    The SPL givie it to an independent tribunial.

     

     

    ECA is a phoney organisation which allows the G20 administrators such as John Mclelland to work for them and get paid from a UEFA budget. Why are Celtic even still a member of this organisation is a total disgrace and yet another dereliction of board duty.

     

     

    Uefa will accept man u going bust and starting from the bottom national division

     

     

    I fully expect a reconstructed league next season owned by another rabid hun.

     

     

    Sevco is an irrelevance.

     

     

    If the SPL chairman think that ST sales will shift if Reagan, Doncaster, Ogilvie, Broadfoot, longmuir, ballantyne, Shorthouse, Jim, chuck and Rób of BBC Scotland fame then I agree with the Cardihun for the first time in my life.

     

     

    I often wonder if UEFA are protecting recent heart attack victim David Taylor.

     

     

    As far as I am concerned the precedent has been set. Money means more than rules.

     

     

    Celtic should withdraw from ECA immediately.

    You forgot The Bristol, the most vile of them all!!

     

     

    What you doing for the game?

    If the SPL chairman think that ST sales will shift if Reagan, Doncaster, Ogilvie, Broadfoot, longmuir, ballantyne, Shorthouse, Jim, chuck and Rób of BBC Scotland fame are still in place……
