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!

14:14 on 26 December, 2014
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.
Me tae mate I’m doon as weet wee tweet
Enough is enough,winning captains,get yir act thigither ;))))
HH
Less than half is better than nothing then.
Excellent production none the less.
Damn hangover. :(
HH.
Hooper scores as Kelvin Bloody Wilson sees Red
Conditions really quite bad at the Hawthorns now with 20 mins left.
Will the ref call it?
Passed through George Square, lights back on & big wheel in full swing. Glad to see we are respecting all who died less than a week ago. Surely most decent Glaswegians would have shown some more respect.
few raised eyebrows raised when Lenny signed Heskey, guess who got the equaliser
I fancy Ross County to win tomorrow based on the lineups in Sporting Life

Owing tae. misplaced Passes, which ur being Doled oot, Profusely, in every game.. by the contemporary Gang of Lollygaggers.. who compose oor present cast o’ Mid Fielders.

Noo.. Bitton, is Not guilty of Gien the BA Away too cheaply.. but..He is.in Ma Opinion..
Jist Not whit We are Lookin Fur..
Bitton.. is far too.. ‘Self Effacing” ..
Fur Ma Liking.
Ah like a Guy who is capable of Taking the Game by the Scruff of the Neck.

… Yes..Steffi.. He is Ma Kinda Guy
Ah wid Keep Steffi…but..
NONE of the Rest of oor Present Cast of Mid Fielders..n ..that Includes..

Ah hope Ronny Brings in Anither Striker…as well.

Tom “Lofty” Watt’s a Gooner
nat know
Lofty was maybe “on location” he’s a big arsenal fan.
Don’t worry about it I was pushed that day as well !
HH
NatKnow
Man U fans take exception to us singing YNWA and always answer back with Hello Hello we are the Fergie boys when I was last there.
Knowing quite a few of their fans, they are well aware of what Hello Hello means as they said to me that we started it by singing YNWA.
Also having lived there for many years of my life until I moved, I was always surrounded by Man U fans telling me how good they were but now cannot afford season tickets due to their Yankie owners.
Personally rather watch City and I know they have their problems but just my preference through my individual experiences.

You have mail fella

Re Brian McClair testimonial.
Tom Watts aka Curly Watts is a big Arsenal fan not Man City.I think he still has a radio show.
HH.
itscalledthemalvinas-agree,i would have cancelled Hogmanay party too.
Kojo. Here is a question for you will Commons go or will he stay what do you think ? H.H
Tom Watt.
If you are in need of an emetic – I highly recommend his version of Subterranean Homesick Blues.
What’s up with Denayer …he’s been out for some time now
Minceyheidman,
I suspect Guidetti will be rested tomorrow, rattan dropped.
Personally, I would start with Griffiths and Scepovic up front
As to how Guidetti will react, he doesn’t have a choice.
If he can’t get in our team, he is hardly going to have EPL or Euro teams lining up to get him.
Imho Guidetti hasn’t yet reached full fitness, and whether he does so is up to him.
Interesting that a team mate described as a lazy trainer on a TV clip.
16 roads – celtic über alles…
A very touching post, the atrocities that are being allowed is beyond belief, obviously, there is no coinage to be gained from the superpowers stepping up to the plate!
!!bada bing!!
Thanks. I never knew that was happening, will be very strange watching it on the box seeing all the laughing and cheering knowing what happened recently.
