Social cost of Scots exclusion

1522

You want to know the real social cost of Scottish football’s exclusion from the league structure England and Wales share?  It’s the lack of pitches, nets, strips, balls and coaching certifications that the £1bn bounty, promised by the Barclay’s Premier League last night to the grassroots game.

£1bn to the grassroots is a huge sum.  It dwarfs what taxpayers can afford and will provide a series of benefits our kids and amateur players are denied.

If we’re part of the UK, we should be part of the UK’s commercial opportunities.  Every youth team in the land are excluded because of the actions of a cartel.

What are the SFA doing about it?  Nothing.  Their plans don’t seem to require world-class youth facilities.

    Businesses and individuals were left tens of millions of pounds out of pocket when HMRC rejected

     

     

    the terms of a proposed CVA and the Glasgow club’s parent company was placed into liquidation on June 14, 2012.

     

     

    Murray, who advised Sir David Murray against selling Rangers to Craig Whyte in 2011 and then led a consortium that attempted to buy the assets of the club the following year, has assisted BDO with the liquidation process.

     

     

    He revealed there is a “very genuine possibility” there will be a “very significant recovery” of the oldco company’s debts in the future and is optimistic many creditors will receive all of the money owed to them.

     

     

    “The first stage of the liquidation process was to recover £24 million from Collyer Bristow, who were Craig Whyte’s lawyers,” said Murray.

     

     

    “There’s proceedings now being taken against Duff & Phelps (oldco administrators) and there will be proceedings against other people.

     

     

    “And, of course, there’s also the Big Tax Case, which will hopefully come to a conclusion later this year.

     

     

    “There is the possibility, a very genuine possibility, that at the end there will be a very significant recovery of the debts that oldco Rangers had.

     

     

    “I personally, as a former director, would love to see a position whereby a lot of those creditors were repaid in whole.

     

     

    “There might be a point in time where they’re paid 100p in the pound, which would be great.”

     

     

    Murray is hoping to be elected onto the Rangers board along with fellow oldco director Dave King

     

     

    and brewery boss John Gilligan at a general meeting in the Millennium Gloucester Hotel in London next month.

     

     

    Rangers announced the date of the EGM on Friday in a lengthy statement that warned there could

     

     

    be an “adverse impact” on the company’s listing on the AIM Stock Exchange if King is appointed as a director.

     

     

    The Johannesburg-based businessman was convicted on 41 counts of breaching the South African Income Tax Act in 2013 and was required to pay unpaid tax totalling around £40 million.

     

     

    However, the Scot has revealed he has been “astonished” at the lack of governance at Rangers and warned club directors and Nomad WH Ireland that they should be “very concerned” if he succeeds in his bid to topple the current regime.

     

     

    He said: “There’s been a lot of stuff happening behind the scenes and if I was on the board of the company or if I was the Nomad, I would be very concerned about what might be coming my way in the future.”

     

     

    Meanwhile, King has predicted there is a “good chance” of being able to tear up the agreements between Rangers and Sports Direct if he receives enough backing from shareholders at the EGM. Supporters of the SPFL Championship club have been deeply concerned at the deals which have been struck with the nationwide chain of sports goods stores run by Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley.

     

     

    But Rangers chairman David Somers threatened to terminate the agreement in an email to a legal representative of Sports Direct that was leaked last month.

     

     

    King said: “The only interpretation I can have of the David Somers’ e-mail – and I’ve looked at it very carefully – is that he believed there was sufficient information to possibility void the contract

    Make no mistake, the Masonic influence in the judiciary, law enforcement , the media and also football administration is rife and is concerted. They choose who and how their brethren are positioned in these organisations.

     

     

    They always ensure ‘the poor widow’s son’ is not unrewarded, and woe betide those that stand in their way.

     

     

    I’ll just make sure to steer clear of early morning beaches to keep my innards intact.

     

     

    Wake up people !

    Looking to that issue Mr Murray said: “The processes regarding both mine and Dave’s fit and proper persons test are pretty advanced.

     

     

    He continued: ” The goat has been shampooed , the dangleberries have been clipped from round its erse , the loving cup filled with Buckie, and we await the arrival of brothers Regan and Doncaster for the official, er… approval ceremony”

    embramike acupla questions for you

     

     

    have the masons still got serious power in scotland and if so in what organisations????

  14. Tony d,

     

     

    I think you’ll find on other clubs forums that they’re not to happy about the favours being awarded to thems.

     

     

    The sheep especially and believe it or not the hertz.

  15. Question for the Masonic Conspiracy Brigade on CQN…where was this All powerful Cabal when we were doing trebles, 9iar, ….where were they when Craig Whyte the Charles Green emptied the dough outa ibrokes, where were they when the huns got tanned by Alloa..Raith…QotS…..i could go on….Answers on a post card please ….

  16. Lithuanian and No 13 rugby tackled into losing possession and a goal for the three lions follows. Referee within 5 yards and sees nothing wrong.

     

     

    David Pleat starting to discuss embarrassing scorelines for the Lithuanians.

     

     

    The game is 7 minutes old.

     

     

    “Joe Hart is heading for a comfortable night. Whether he gets any touches we will have to wait and see.” opines the boring one.

     

     

    Hang on the ball hit an English defenders hand in the box but no replay.

     

     

    Nuff of this arrogance for me.

     

     

    We might be jealous of their Murdoch money and their FA but little else.

     

     

    Hunnish references now to the Lithuanian ex Sevco player “during a turbulent period in their history.”

     

     

    Oh and Joe Hart gets a touch. Pleat is devastated.

    Murray admits there also has to be a conversation with the former manager, Ally McCoist, who remains on gardening leave on his estimated £825,000-a-year salary.

     

     

    “We haven’t really addressed it so far as there have too many other priorities, but we need to sit down with Ally and his representatives and try to deal with that,” he said.

     

    So they prioritise the case of five loanees costing five thousand pounds a week over someone costing fifteen thousand pounds a week or am i reading it wrong ?

    Peter Lawwell will have Paul Murray on strings if sevco reach the premier league,like any other director that’s been over there they are too weak and dumb to do anything other than what the hun hordes think they should do and given that huns brains are brand new Murray n King don’t stand a chance against Celtic.

    Startling eye poping observations from Joe McHugh from video celts website there via 67 Heaven.

     

    I hadn’t really considered the rules on Phoenix companies. I don’t know if it’s wishful thinking from joe ,McHugh or based on his research.

     

    What did really make me think the blue 3 bears and goldie skelly Dave were a bunch of numpties was the assertion by Paul Murray that said Dave wouldn’t invest until the Sfa deemed him fit and proper.

     

    So they are effectively saying no fit and proper no Dave no Rangers.

     

    When Paul Murray says they are looking at other European clubs structures they need look no further than the old lady of Italy. Juventus are perfect in terms of their influence. Rangers had that model then made a Hugh jarse of it so maybe not.

     

     

    Also this claim to 143 years or whatever of dignity and polishing shoes or wha lt have you. Presumably Paul Murray includes their great employment policy in those dignified years… Aye that’s rigtht the years they gave Feltic ye advantage of employing the entire gene pool as opposed to just one wee part of it.

    Paul67, we are not getting in to the EPL so stop moaning about all the money Sky are giving them and do something constructive like start a campaign to boycote sky by Scottish football fans.

     

     

    Acting like a five year old stomping your feet shouting it’s no fair wont get you anywhere, believe me I’m right on this one.

  23. I hope Russia team have hockey uniforms and helmets for the second half. Does Russia still have three subs avsilable? I think not.

    Don’t confuse their football team with their infrastructure. Even their organisation with its pervading tentacles can’t prevent sheer talent winning out.

     

     

    Outside Scotland their influence is somewhat diminished but the Scottish Rite has powerful allies!
