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?

Hail Hail!
Seems like half my last post got lost when I tried to add a wee sarcastic smiley….
Any way , I consistently have said tha Mike Ashley will still run the circus over there. If he tires of it, real fun will begin. However I say he will hang in there until all of Charlie’s legacy stuff is gone, then we will see the Orcs and there followers kitted out in Sports Direct gear, playing in a Sports Direct Stadium and for a bargain Sports Direct price.
Mighty Tim
I’ll be keeping Dougie and your family in my prayers mate.
Off for a wee swim then on to the game …..do,….do
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the scottish football league
They come from bonnie Scotland, they come from county Cork,
They come from dear old Donegal and even from New York,
From every street in Glasgow they proudly make their way,
To a place called dear old paradise and this is what they say.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the scottish football league
There’s Fallon, Young and Gemmell who proudly wear the green,
There’s Clark, McNeill and Kennedy the best there;s ever been,
Jim Johnstone, Murdoch, Chalmers, John Divers and John Hughes,
And sixty thousand Celtic fans who proudly shout the news.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the scottish football league

Lads, for those who are in the CQN Saturday Naps competition, please go back and post today’s selection at the end of the previous article :

As I noted earlier,the originator of latest Sevco desperation story is Richard Wilson & other BBC “writers”..
People who have not dealt in reality since 2012, but need to come up with a positive Sevco story EVERY day..
Once you realise that’s their job,it becomes easy to watch & laugh..
I continually ask the journos to tell me the repair bill for poundland …
Hearing people who ve been inside it working on it apparently it’s shocking disrepair..
Just keep asking wee RichWilBBC on twitter the questions..
Paradise today..cannae wait..

Hi guys,
Met a friend last night who makes films for a living. We were having a chat about potential film ideas and I suggested that he tried to make a biopic about Fergus McCann. He had an amazing life and there would easily be enough drama in it to make a pretty decent film. What do you guys think?
Douglas Park.Celtic help him out as well ,hiring one of his Buses,,thats another thing that is wrong with our club,if the shoe was in the other foot, you can bet the huns ,no way would they hire a bus from a tim. ihave said may times on here Celtic should have there own Big Green Bus.
CowieBhoy and I have a couple of spare tickets for today’s game.
doccqten@gmail.com
Parent and child tickets, no real reason 2 adults can’t use them.
Hope Lustig is back and Griffiths starts
Gordon
Matthews Lustig VVD Izzy
Brown Biton Johansen
Forrest Guidetti Griffiths
Subs Zaluska Ambrose Henderson Mcgregor Scepovic Stokes Wakaso
Think it’ll be a lot closer than many think. They will defend deep and in numbers and we struggle to break teams down. A one or two goal victory.
Get on the bus, the Big Green Bus…lalalalalala
Hearing that Bournesouprecipe has changed the Gazebo snack menu today.
The Champagne and Canapes are aff.
It’s Mulled Wine and Mince Pies apparently: wine from Buckfast Abbey, pies from McGhee’s.

mighty tim
Thoughts with you.
Handy new Gazebo – friendly sized cans.
There’s only one thing to say, in this festive season, in response to the latest lifeline for Sevco: “Ho Ho Ho”.

Parks buses are probably being used because they supply a reasonable and reliable service which Celtic are happy with. Why should they change that?
Because Mr Park is a hun…really?
With join the dots competition………Arrggghhh

HairOfTheDog CSC
new article posted.
an tearmann
think he was asked recently if he had bought or rented a local property – he said he had rented and added “on a short lease”
So Celtic should not employ someone because of the football team that they support.
Isn’t that just blatant bigotry?
I am glad that those that as actually responsible for running our club are free of such bigoted sentiments.

Is there any updates/refurbishment re the tented cqn gazebo area?
My concern arises by what was termed a ‘spivouac’ on tsfm.
Is this competition for said cqnGazebo?

Haha, they just don’t get it, do they. Hopefully will continue on the same track, to our delight. Trust you had a good Christmas also.
