The SFA surprised many by refusing Mike Ashley permission to buy up to 29.9% of a second club. As I said earlier in the week, don’t get too hung up on this one. Ashley could play The Offshore Game, like the anonymised Blue Pitch or Margarita, or he could just do what he’s already done, ignore the SFA and underwrite the share issue anyway. What would the SFA do?
Well, they could impose the ultimate sanction, but that’s unlikely. They could impose a heavy point penalty, enough to ensure the club are not promoted this season, and refuse to register signings of players older than 21-years.
It’s perhaps more likely that Ashley will loan the money required in return for whatever assets are left. Oldco went out of business a few months after they were sold to a liquidation expert. The path newco will follow down the lavvy will be different. Like any other squeezed business, they will redeem assets, sell the training fields, and the stadium, before putting themselves into the hands of a liquidator.
As for long-term financial viability, does anyone think this looks likely?

Papa John…
Back in November I was at a meeting at Celtic Park where Ronny took questions from an audience of about 100 people.
He was asked, on a scale of 1 to 10, how he would mark his performance to that date.
His answer “3, maybe 4”.
A wee bit harsh on himself I would say.
Looking forward to the match tomorrow .. Apart from the fact I’m working until 2pm
An early goal from LG then another two for wee Orville to make his hat trick . 5-1 the hoops
Meanwhile in edin burger … Hibs win a ” robust affair ” while the jam tarts stretch their lead to 15 points
Happy birthday dear Celtic and Francis mcavennie getting a double along with Paul excelling, a wonderful magical day.
My last post was for beatbhoy
BMCUW,
Thanks very much for that. John Clark IS a Celtic great. His ability to read the game saved our (and Big Billy’s) bacon too often to mention. THE best sweeper to wear the jersey bar none, imo.

Went to see The Stranglers live in Cascais, outside Lisbon, in ’78….
They didn’t show up. . . Good job I was over there at the time anyway!
Their manager Tony Moon wrote to me when I complained in the hope of getting a ‘freebie’
He sent me some programmes, badges etc.
I forgave them, and was glad I did when I went to the Apollo to see them, especially when they played ‘Nice ‘n’ Sleazy’.
Sure you’ll remember her, er, I mean it, if you were there!

Rangers: New funding proposal offers £6.5m investment
By Richard Wilson BBC Scotland
“The SFA would have been aware there is a credible alternative and we would like to make sure the fans are aware of that, too.”
The plot thickens ….
Bada, I can’t see it being successful unless it’s more than ten million or north of that.
Let’s hope the players do their jobs tomorrow and convert the chances we hopefully make.

Natknow, when joe came on to do I fought the law and London calling at those Barras gigs, it brought the house down, marvellous.
A crowd of us saw them on st Patrick’s night in 1988 at the town & country club in Kentish town, joe joined in along with lynval Golding of the specials, a great mix of three of my favourite bands.

Would love to have seen that gig at the T&C – love The Specials too!

LOL! I do remember that – think the band actually asked if anyone wanted to come up on stage and “entertain” the crowd with them. That particular volunteer had all the right assets!

Hope you all had a nice Christmas
Natknow, I saw the stranglers a couple of times at the Apollo, great live band. Hugh Cornwall is a great front man. If he plays a solo gig, go and see him. He does a mix of his own and stranglers stuff.

Yeah – I saw Hugh a few years ago at King Tuts. Was a good gig and as you say a real mixture. Stranglers playing in Glasgow soon I believe. “New” singer has now been with the band longer than Hugh was! Mental…

I am with you on that call, players getting to play the system he wants , but! some are struggling with the basics of the game at times, cannae blame Ronny for that.Work in progress and can see improvement and more to follow I hope.

More, erm, theatrical videos available, I believe.
Bada, thanks for the tip. I hope Leigh gets a start tomorrow.
Natknow/ beatbhoy, when I think about it, that’s bang on about the ‘new’ lead singer of the stranglers.
The raven is my favourite stranglers song, jj’s bass line is brilliant.
Charlie & Jason still injured according to sky sevco news earlier.
