Few will be surprised that the Takeover Appeal Board (TAB) ruled Dave King acted in concert with George Taylor Douglas Park and George Letham when buying a controlling interest in Newco Rangers two years ago, another “favourable settlement”, you could say.
In their statement, TAB wrote, “Over the last two years Mr King has had ample opportunity to disclose documents and to provide other evidence to rebut any deeming, presumption or inference from the evidence that he was acting in concert with Messrs Letham, Taylor and Park. He has not done so.”
So far, so clear-cut, but while this is an unwelcome distraction (or more) to Dave, King, I genuinely hope he has the wherewithal to fund any necessary share purchase. It is difficult to overestimate the extent to which King’s position inhibits Newco.
The club will go nowhere while it remains in his clutches. It is far from clear who would pick up the years of potential liabilities should he exit (forget Sugar Daddy fantasies), but better the devil we know – when we know so much about him.
We have the perfect controller of Newco. He leads through PR dictate, appeals to the lowest common denominator, sat as a director through Oldco’s ignominious demise, and appears to have enough funding capacity to get them as high as third in the league.
I will rue the day Dave King decides he has had enough of Ibrox.
Many thanks to all who contributed to the Lisbon canvass raffle for Alzheimer Scotland. The competition is now closed and we raised an incredible £3264. The winner has been in touch, so if you don’t know already, unfortunately, it’s not you.
This has been another small excerpt in the Great Celtic Story. Well done.

Good Evening.
Here is something new. “Sevco ‘Porn'”
https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2017/03/14/%EF%BB%BFsevco-porn/
Choose Champions
Just a wee note to say St Mary’s received £4000 from the recent fundraising page for replacing stolen and damaged equipment.
Fantastic effort from the Celtic family. Fr Tom sends his thanks and appreciation.
KTF
nasri and vardi both got yellow cards, it was nasris second, stupid man he will never change. sucked in easily.
VFR! Where can I send a donation?
TIMHORTON
The yellow card on diving Vardy could have been for the push in the back that started the altercation .
The refs report will detail what for.If he was booked for push he should get a retrospective card for simulation which would lead to ban.
If only UEFA’s competition was an actuals sport in the true sense of the word.
Pedro Coxinwhat?
Remember Paul Le Guen?
He thought he was going to a professional organization and then he met Bazza.
Give it time.
Maggie, three poor results and Pedro will be toast, they will give him no time to settle or build.
Especially when we relentlessly show his congratulatory video to Celtic on 4-in-row.
I wonder if he will do a 6-in-a-row video:-)
Only a quick visit CQN, so, behave and good night.
VFR! Will look for response tomorrow,
Tomorrow you will be Tims.
Tomorrow they will hurt.
As SOAL says. Love.
ok Doc. I’ll try my best to behave. ya grass! :)
fanatic
i think nasri was the instigator, he has always been a loose cannon.
vardi is no angel for sure.
Gerry Rafferty
Days gone down :)

Mags,
I heard from your Bro.
You have to give him dates for travelling to and from Lisbon and I will look into the details etc.
BRTH
Passive as the cattle we await our destiny
BRTH
Doing it now. You will have all the details tomorrow.
BRTH
Edin/Gla-Lisbon May 23rd-28th?
Congrats to Angel Gabriel. Well done big F.
Another prize for the Ayrshire Tims !
Just reward for being from almost total Hun territory :) :) .
Maggie, I love you most when you don’t behave, nor agree(have we ever)and I have never grassed.(awful term, which implies upholding standards of behaviour is unacceptable).
So I am not Lee Wallace:-)
We have debated, and disagree’d regarding demarcation lines, where you think a line should be drawn, and where I would, but I held the arguement between ourselves. I did not involve our host.
If ever you ever make it over, I will buy you several beers, along with H&C.
And will engage in the moat heated of debates!
One Love.
:-)
Keep well, and support the Hoops.
Til laters.a
Mags
Yes those dates are when a big group of us are flying from Edinburgh. Flights around £360 return.
There are other routes and dates obviously.
Doc on 14th March 2017 11:57 pm
Not if I buy you a beer first. :)
BRTH
I’ll take care of the flights.
Advise Morrisey tomorrow on the hotel
Mags,
If you sort the flights and Morrisey confirms the dates I can do the hotel stuff etc
Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan on 15th March 2017 12:10 am
ok great!
Thanks
Glass hotel
Mags , thanks for being here, batteries gone on my phone so Good/nite and God bless

Congrats to Angel.
A good week for music here … Saw Jens Lekman last night (fun show), and today I grabbed a few tickets to the upcoming Jesus and mary chain and Belle and Sebastian shows…. quite looking forward to them, and revisiting my youth … remember hearing JMC for the first time … 1984 I think … had never heard anything like it! Brilliant.
Wish Ranieri had been there to see Leicester through …
and just found out Mavis Staples is in town! woo hoo!!!! Loved the Staple Singers!!!!
BRTH
You have mail.
Truly epic guitar solo….

I’m tipping you would’ve seen every type of cheating imaginable against the hoops in your time .
What do you think can/should be done in order for our club to be treated fairly?

Good morning friends and Happy Ides of March from a dry, pinky-skied, partly cloudy East Kilbride.
Good morning CQN from a cool, damp and misty East Devon.

My uncle told me about the John Thompson game , about peerless Patsy and many tales of skullduggery in relation to the interests of Celtic . In particular , G.G. and the Eire flag , as it was then called.
Thanks for asking.
Video referees would , I feel , make a dramatic difference .
They could be called to account for their decisions , rather than an individual referee.
Individual error as opposed to group error .
Much harder to justify group error than individual error.
Precisely why Sepp was able to ensure France went to South Africa and not the Republic.
Greater TV revenue.
MIKE IN TORONTO
The Jesus And Mary Chain .
Me too – Shepherds Bush-early April .
Hopefully , they will have fallen out by then and will be really really angry ..
April Skies !!!!!!!!!!!!
Watched the Leicester game last night – first time I’ve really seen them . . Manic energy and drive . Siviglia seemed shocked .
Gigi Buffon was asked who he didn’t want in the next round .
He replied -Leicester
Interviewer asked why – Gigi said -They don’t play logical football -everything is ad hoc . Hard to plan for .
Asked the same question – Rube’s Manager -Max Allegri said – No preference , they’re all good teams .
Told that Buffon had said -Leicester – Allegri said — That’s the first time I’ve heard the words logical and Gigi in the same sentence ..
Lovely day – way down south ——- peach trees to plant .
Today’s get up and out choons —
7 ” Camper Van Beethoven -Take The Skinheads Bowling (Rough Trade 9
7″ – The Jesus And Mary Chain -Upside Down (Creation )
7″ – Bettye Swann -Make Me Yours ( Money )
7″ -Jacqueline Taieb – 7 Heures Du Matin -( Impact )
Oh Judith…….good morning….!!!
Morning all. Dreich down here.
Matches my mood.
In the Alice in Wonderland world that the SMSM inhabits where they portray Sevco and the MIB as pure as the driven snow, surely, SURELY, the Compliance Officer can see through the miasma they throw up to tackle (pun intended) the likes of Miller and Holt? Nae chance in Scotland EVER.
