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!

    Forced to watch it, by the Mrs B (⊙_⊙)

    So they did, and John Robertson’s when asked to comment on the slur said (paraphrased) ” Tough, but we are a divided nation ” WTF?

     

     

    I hope we thrash Hearts the way we thrashed Kilmarnock last week, and I’ll be staying clearer of the Mount Florida end than other recent matches.

    Even worse was the banner they held up at Tynecastle a couple of years back. The Celtic support reacted by singing the Irish repertoire and were subsequently slated by Keevins on SSB despite his acknowledgement of the banner.

    would never know what Keevins thinks or says …no air time from me

     

     

    i do love to give the Jambo`s a good kicking …a repeat of our last outing will do fine

     

     

    no excuses …get into them

  5. Hector is my hero on

    Was on the site earlier this morning when the wife shouts out – is that you checking for tips for the National. “Nah just catching up on CQN but funny enough the last post had three tips for the race”. Looking over my shoulder she says I`ll have £1 each way on the last one , cos thats about as good a way as any for me picking one.. Its a donkey said I – save your money and just pick one out the hat as normal.

     

     

    After the race she smiled and said mibies I`ll have to stop moaning about the amount of time you spend on CQN

     

     

    Thanks Algarvian

    Remember Traynor having a dig because Celtic fans reacted to them booing the minutes silence for the pope.

  7. Like many others i was at the ‘minutes silence’ game a few years ago and I’ve never been so disgusted in my life. Hope we hump them tomorrow. Mon the hoops!

  8. Is it just me or does the Hearts manager look as if he’s taken a liking to deep fried Mars bars since his arrival in Scotland?

     

     

    Diet advice from Sally perhaps…

    I’m convinced Super Do Lally is actually Agustusglupe from Charlie and the chocolate factory.

    Now I know why he doesn’t do walking away.

     

    Try rolling away Sally.

     

    Levante should have made it 2.

    Do you know GL2 from the Greenock CSC?

     

     

    FFS – Barca 1-0 down and bookies only offering odds on for the win!

  14. Vmhan, Barca have struggled away from home all season, No difference in the meantime.

     

    They need to hang on to madrids tail, for the El Classico.

    Me – Monty’s.

  16. Bit of a side issue but was briefly in Gordon Marshall’s company tonight and was at a brother walfrid poty bash that he attended back in the day. He’s a magic guy and said how much he loved the celtic nights! Good guy!

  17. tommytwiststommyturns on

    ticgaz – used to drink in Monty’s when I worked in Clark’s bookies a few doors along. It’s no longer there, it’s a house now.

     

    Many years since I was in Monty’s!

    Sorry mate but my abiding memory of him is the final game of the season in 2003 down at Kilmarnock. We need goals to win the title and he’s time wasting when his own team have nothing to play for. Unforgivable.
