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?

His bark is much worse than his bite. Believe me he’s one of the most honest and caring men I’ve ever met.

Give Ziggy my regards please.
We had a good laugh last year.
Funny character.

Hello again all you young rebels.
I hope you all had as good a chrissy as i had with my family
at the end of the day their good health is all that matters.
Well we’ve had turkey every way but curried so that might
happen later and I’ve had enough wee malts you could have
refloated the Mary Rose.
The grandson is in the garden already with his new Celtic
away top trying his John Guidetti scissor kicks and he’s in
every couple of minutes shouting ..C’mon papa a need a goalie.
so a had to tell him i’m injured as i could not face being smashed
in the coupon with what looks like a big old mould master
(remember them?)
“Take a wee whisky” he said you always play great after that, but
i’m supposed to be doing cold turkey today as i’ve got our wee
club tomorrow so i couldn’t.
Could i?

I was talking about KW re the msm thing, cos you said you read it in the msm.
I know Hooper won’t be back, and as you say, he now regrets leaving, but I’m sure the money helps ease the pain for him :)

Ha oh yes I’m quite sure the multitude of Lizzy green backs help soothe his longing!!! :-)

I doubt that Wilsons wages would be a problem, but there must be better younger CB’s out there.

Good stuff we’ll get a night sorted.

Wouldn’t give Ronny above a 3 for our European adventures :-)
5 – 6 for SPFL only
Hail Hail, and great to see you on
Sheikh , you’re welcome. Your post put a smile on my coupon, which takes a lot of doing.
Talking of sheikh, years ago in Schipka pass , just by Glasgow cross there was a sign for the sheikh Ma-tadger massage parlour. It gave us a laugh.
Schipka pass is now a wee park with a path listing all the bands who have played at the Barras, lots of good memories at some great gigs.

Exactly, fill your boots easiest money you’ll make in your life HH
Ronny D so far 6/10
We remain in contention for a domestic treble and we have an interest in Europe in the New Year
The football has been OK a few moments of wild excitement but we have not dominated as we should
Im happy to give Ronny more time – a new man does need time – I continue to have the same opinion as I did in August – win the league – and I feel we will – so at the moment I am cool on Ronny
Big month coming up – Jan transfer window – lets see what Ronny produces ??

fritzsong,
You are at least 12 years out. I think it was between 60 and 62.

Beat bhoy, the pogues, big audio dynamite, the clash minus mick jones & topper headon, Paul Weller, the house martins, the specials,madness, Aztec camera are some of my favourite gigs at the Barras.
Cowiebhoy
Glad she is having a good time and taking in other countries and
areas around Oz as it’s a very long way to come.
Me and the princess are off on a cruise round all of Oz and up to
Indonesia at the beginning of March for 3 weeks so if she decides
to come to us then keep in mind these dates.
She will be most welcome and i know my wife will be a bit disappointed
as she thought she would have had a loan of a daughter to show
Melbourne off to.

Would’ve loved to have been at any of those.
My sister raved about Shane and the bhoys when she saw them there.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
Could,nt believe it when I heard John was employed as a driver in the Fire Brigade, I was stationed at Kirkie, so we never crossed paths, as he was in another Div. The huns had a field day at John’s expense,its times like this looking back, oh! to get the chance and ram it down there throats, God forgive me.
However the Wee Man’s got the Last Laugh, and the Longest.

Any team news for tomorrow?
CowieBhoy, is the bus running? Phones broke, can’t text JG or TW.
PAPA JOHN
We all have to make a crust,mate. I suspect John would have dealt with them with good grace and efficiency,much like he played the game.
And remembered that he who laughs last laughs longest!
Beat bhoy, I managed to survive the three nights on the trot the pogues did in December 1987 at the Barras.
I saw them seven times at the Barras, fantastic nights far better than when we saw them in Edinburgh & London.
The 1987 gigs were even better as it was part of the feel good factor of our centenary season.
MinceNut and HamitonNut, His spelling bye the way,
Ziggy just text to say WHAT FECKING TIME AT?
The Pogues at The Barras the time Joe Strummer was supporting – great night.
The Stranglers at The Apollo – many times but best time was last time when I looked back and sure I could see the balcony sway from side to side!
Wolfetones at The Barras – anytime!
My favourite was Pixies at Brixton Academy.
Dallas
‘Survived’ sounds about right.
And then, after all that, a few days later, you still had this to enjoy!

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.
