SPL cannot hold secret meetings with Rangers bidders

806

All three outfits looking to take control of Rangers want to meet the SPL before formalising their bids.  It would be inappropriate for any bidder to discuss the terms under which a new company could enter the SPL with the League’s executive.  It is not their place to negotiate with the League, or to establish the terms under which they would be prepared to spend money on Rangers.

Let’s be clear about what cannot be achieved by meeting the League:

The SPL cannot give them any indication as to whether the resolutions will be passed

They cannot give them any indication if other resolutions will be proposed and passed

They cannot give them any indication on the probability of a new company being given access to the SPL

SPL executives have no influence on these matters.  From an information discovery position, these meetings are utterly pointless, there is no need for them and no insight can be gained from them.

The SPL executive cannot consider representations from third parties who are hoping to cut a deal on buying a club.  If any bidder were to discuss their own bid or the consequences of any sanction the meeting becomes wholly inappropriate.

Any meetings which do take place should be minuted, with minutes distributed to all SPL clubs, and should be open to any other SPL clubs who wish to attend.

No secret deals, no secret attempts to influence.

Pay your bills!

    I’ve really enjoyed The Voice, as there’s been some fantastic chanters as opposed to the X Factor rubbish of canny sing but look good.

    Poster (Forget who) said it was a good article…IMO it was…

     

     

    What he didn’t say was that he wants a love affair with the clown..

     

     

    Perfectly reasonable post ….

    I won’t say this ever again but alongside the old man, he’s the best human being I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.

     

     

    Though he does resemble Rudolph on a cold day :-))))

    I sat in my greenhouse today drinking a bottle of Leffe and reading:

     

     

    ““I turned a corner and war had been declared. There were the Rangers supporters and there were the police. Grown men were vomiting in the street. There were police horses with white eyes, men with helmets and shields. The warriors are called The Gers, a Glaswegian tribe half-naked and painted blue, singing outside GMex and The Thistle. I trod the broken glass around the Briton’s Protection Hotel. A gallon of Grunt, an eight pack of indigo Super T. Bellies brimming with gold. I thought of the desert I had once crossed – all that ash as if the world had burned. Goat herders in their cinder-coloured rags.”

     

     

    ….pure bliss. Sun/Heat, beer, and Robert Minhinnick describing Rangers fans in Manchester.

  9. Possibly nonsense but noticed ETims Diary yesterday linking Fraser Forster with West Ham.

     

     

    Wouldn’t surprise me if he chooses to move on.

    Humped mate, I took Tony’s picks cos he’s been on a run. He now claims that I jinxed him :-)

    I believe that all the acts on ‘The Voice’ were filmed on the same day but I did really feel for those who were last to do the audition, especially when most of the judges already had their 10 picks.

    Is that the girl that went to St Columba’s ??

  13. tommytwiststommyturns on

    St Columba’s? What year?!

     

     

    ht – totally agree and that would be my only criticism of the show. The guy who had been in the Jerry Springer opera would have gone through earlier in the show IMO.

     

    Great entertainment anyway.

  14. Hearts have won their last two cup matches against Celtic – both were League Cup quarter-finals at Celtic Park.

    luckily you missed the humiliation – bar 1 x 14yr old girl – of Scotlands latest shame II.

     

     

    the edinburgh auditions didnt bode well for that country

    Last time we played them at Hampden the majority of their support SANG throughout the minutes silence for the death of Pope JP II.

     

     

    I hope we hump them tomorrow, they are vile.

    She is 48 year old now so probably from 75/76 until whenever….

  18. tommytwiststommyturns on

    Green Oak – if it’s Bayhill, then she was either in my year or GL2’s! The name Bryceland defo rings a bell, is that her maiden name?

    You’ve lost me is that London humour? :-)

    Agree with the consensus on Cowan. He’s as funny as a dose of crabs and is no friend of Celtic. Although I have it on good authority that his wife is a lovely person.
