Shrinking the squad, and an update

454
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I’d hopes Dedryck Boyata would bask in the reflective glory of being part of a fancied Belgium squad at the forthcoming Euros. It would enhance is reputation and perceived value, but alas, his injury has ruled him out, and will likely mean he’ll miss Champions League qualifiers, so he’s on the payroll and in the stand for at least a portion of next season.

News that Colin Kazim-Richards will travel to Brazil to discuss a move there will help Brendan Rodger’s attempts to bring the squad size down to a more reasonable level, as Carlton Cole’s pay-as-you-play arrangement will formally become a don’t-pay-as-you’re-not-playing further clears the decks. This leaves only, Leigh Griffiths and returning strikers Anthony Stokes and Stefan Scepovic, who will, at most, be a bit-part players.

Getting it right with the next striker to sign is important after so many misfires.

We’re finally seeing some movement on Res 12 issues. The advert will first appear in the principle business newspaper in Nyon, where Uefa have their headquarters. Will update you as and when. We’re going to run the UK ad after the Swiss story, so nothing here tomorrow.

Oh, and there was no legal action or threats thereof last night. We had a tactical rethink and pulled a related article, nothing more.

    I would imagine that advertising in print editions of a newspaper is seperate from online versions.

     

     

    Two separate deals.

    Still awaiting an update, thus so far:

     

     

    Dated 17 July 1492, the Papal Bull confirmed the status of the Collegiate Kirk of St Duthac of Tain, a place of pilgrimage and sanctuary visited regularly by King James IV.

     

    The document was the Pope’s way of recognising and defending a religious order or settlement.

     

    ‘Future generations’

     

    Written on vellum, the ancient parchment has the original lead papal seal attached to it by a silken chord of red and yellow strands.

     

    It bears the name of Pope Innocent VIII and carries the signature of his cardinal secretary Alessandro Farnese.

     

    Farnese went on to become Pope Paul III – the pope who excommunicated King Henry VIII.

     

    Tain’s Papal Bull is not on public display because of its deteriorating condition.

     

    The museum plans to professionally conserve the document and create a high quality digital facsimile to display in the museum.

     

    Chairman of the Trustees Alastair Jupp said: “We have not been able to display The Bull for some time due to its condition.

     

    “This important document has been in our trust for over 500 years and we feel it is our responsibility to preserve it for future generations.”

     

    The Collegiate Church in Tain was built to house the bones of St Duthac, an 11th Century preacher born in the town who is said to have performed a number of miracles.

     

    King James IV is said to have made a pilgrimage to the shrine every year for 20 years. James V and Robert the Bruce are also believed to have visited the church.

    Lymmbhoy’s Press reader link shows us a half page ad on the lower half of page 7. The text can not be read from that link as it is too small but I can see a headline on page 6 that is deeply apt. It reads:-

     

     

    “Converties mais differentes”

     

     

    which translates as “Changed (converted) but different”

     

     

    Even the Swiss are taking the mick.
