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?
Sale starts today on CQNBookstore, fill your boots!

this south American consortium lookin tae buy st Mirren , is it headed by a chico verde by chance ?
Just had a look at the CQN annual – they have me down as 6 roads!!
Was gonna say that half is better than nothing, but half of 6 is 8, so that’s less than half.
Less than half is better than nothing then.
Excellent production none the less.
Damn hangover. :(
HH.
Siesta time zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
9/1 for a Griff hat-trick, no wonder you dont see bookmakers cycle to work !!!!
Although I do not like what they stand for as a club and supporters, credit where it’s due, this Chelsea team look good today.
Tin hat on.

Half of six is eight ????

So it is Pfayr.
Should have said half of 16 is 8.
Happy St.Stephen’s Day chief, and I hope that you back plenty of winners the day.
HH.
Hope I’m wrong but I’d be surprised if Inter tickets got as far as general sale.
An Dun .
Sorry -if I have confused .you That information relates to the game in Milan and is for those who dont get a Celtic ticket and are willing to be in with the Inter support.
I was surprised that the SFA issued their statement after what was an informal meeting and that Llambias was looking for approval for a 30% share. I think it may be some kite flying. Although Ashley already has securities over most Sevco things he does not over the stadium and handed back the naming rights. It can be seen that there is nothing left that is safe for him to securitise and hence the request to be allowed a larger shareholding but why announce this officially after an informal meeting ?
HH
happy Stephen’s day everyone !
Let’s hope Ashley’s well rested and ready to pick on the carcass.

Mea cupla :)
If JG is dropped tomorrow do you think he will benefit from it or will he look elsewhere?
Serious question.
Ronny has a tough decision to make if he wants to sign him.

minceyheidman,
You spaak. The truth. I was thinking the very same. They play the way I think our manager wants us to be doing.

9/1 is tasty imo!! Ive tandem a few times!! Ill get ma coat.
Thats a sweet one put down by the SFA.
Forces the recipients of onerous contracts to put money into the club(if they choose) instead of out
Forces those who already invested to invest more(if they choose)information while diluting their share and power base
Puts the onus on the internationals to put thr own house in order.Mash et d’lamb know thro thr english club the boxes to tick for ffp, they will know if thats possible the way they are set up financially.
It really does shine a light on their need as a club to be addicted to the ‘never never’-they need to realise their psychological addiction to other peoples money must stop.this as the news that dodgy dave king faces having his charge sheet.
So it looks if you get a £ in the door thats what you spend, just like the rest of Scottish football.
