So which journos were secretly being paid by Oldco?

622

How many people working as ‘journalists’ in Scottish football were secretly on the payroll of Oldco Rangers (or Rangers International, for that matter)?  Is this common practice in newspapers, did the Daily Record know about it? Wonder how they will play the news story…

Any suggestions as to who else might’ve been on the oldco/Sevco payroll?  Any ex-Celtic players?

Most of us have spent the last season trying to value Victor Wanyama.  If he goes, it’s important we achieve as high a price as possible, not for the money itself, but Victor’s value will be reflected in the value of the rest of the squad – and it’s important we move our player trading up the food chain.

SPL football doesn’t count towards a valuation but the Champions League does, and Victor’s five group games (less so the Juventus games) are the basis of whatever figures will be offered.

    Totally stunned my friend, did not know it was so close as the last time we spoke you thought you had longer together. You have two great Daughters you and they will help each other get through this time. No consolation but she is in a better place now. One day you will be together again, until then my friend…keep the faith.

     

     

    Sent you a message as well mate, if you want me to take you out of the text loop for the time being please let me know.

    El Diego Bhoy,

     

     

    Shocked & saddened by your loss.

     

     

    May she rest in peace.

  16. Hi Paul67,

     

     

    “Any suggestions as to who else might’ve been on the oldco/Sevco payroll? Any ex-Celtic players?”

     

     

    Woowww! Who are these people? We want to know who these people are, the Scottish public deserve to know who these people are – Seriously

     

     

    “If he Victor Wanyama goes, it’s important we achieve as high a price as possible, not for the money itself, but Victor’s value will be reflected in the value of the rest of the squad – and it’s important we move our player trading up the food chain.

     

     

    Celtic have a history, there quality players leave and they leave cheap – Dalglish and McClair for example. We managed to buck that trend when we kept hold of Henrik now if we can ensure if our top players have to leave the proper recompense is received it bodes well for the future.

     

     

    To maintain and improve as a Team we must replace quality with quality.

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

    Oh, for God sake, I didn’t know your wife was very ill. May God rest her soul, and may God give you, and your family, the strength to get through your grief.

     

     

    My brother lost his beloved wife recently, so I know what you are going through. God bless.

  19. ElDiegoBhoy

     

     

    Thoughts and prayers with you and your family at this very sad time. Candle lit at Mass this morning in respect.

  20. Paul67, did you really mean to miss out the word NOT.

     

     

    As in:

     

    So which journos were NOT secretly being paid by Oldco?

  21. Paul67 et al

     

     

    What the Daily Record faces here is a moral conundrum. (And no Paul, I do not know what that means either)

     

     

    The Daily Record paid an in-house journalist, (Keith Jackson?) to produce pro Rangers pap under the byline of an ex Rangers player, Mark Hateley, a man still working on his joined-up writing, who was being paid a monthly stipend from Ibrox. Then they paid Hateley into the bargain!

     

     

    You couldn’t make it up! Could you?

    Sounds like a Cooooooooooool plan!
