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!

    If Killie had scored that day or denied us with some wonderful defending then that would’ve been tough luck .But to be 4-0 down and run the ball into corners was inexcusable.

  2. I always felt the main difference between our game v Killie and Rangers game v Dunfermline was the time that the ball was kept in play.

     

     

    It was not just that Killie players were slowing the game down; Dunfermline tried to do likewise. However Killie seemed to have the bare minimum of fat asthmatic ball boys on duty that day whilst rangers seemed to have one stationed every few yards, moving as fast as Wimbledon ball boys.

     

     

    This may be my biased memory, but I wonder if anyone kept stats on how unequal our playing time was in our respective goal fests.

  3. Have little or no time for Tamn Cowan but must confess to laughing at a piece he wrote years ago at the time when Jim Duffy was playing for Dundee.

     

     

    Dundee were playing the huns in a game over the New Year holiday & there had been a lot of fuss at the time over the SFA’s refusal to let the game be broadcast live.

     

     

    Cowan said he had been drinking all day & fell asleep in his chair only to wake up the worse for wear & realise that the game was on TV after all. Jim Duffy was playing a blinder & seemed to be here, there & everywhere.

     

     

    It was only when Cowan sobered up he realised he was actually watching the Crystal Maze…

  4. If wants to go to one from Premier League clubs I would like to see Jan Mucha from Everton playing for Celtic. He was excellent when played for Legia Warsaw two years ago. One year before his contract expires. He would not cost much money. Similar class with Boruc but cooler head.

  5. Wee Andrés scored the winner in the World Cup final and lifted his shirt to pay tribute to Espanyol player, Dani Jarque, who had died.

    Wasn’t having a go at you per se merely giving my views on Marshall.

    As for Craig Gordon, he seems to come from that illustrious line of calamitous Hearts keepers.It’s a no from me.

    Thought of you at Mass this evening. This weekend is in memory of Sister Faustina and the Divine Mercy and I know how significant a part she plays in the church in Poland.

     

     

    The only keep sake I took of my dad’s was his Sister Faustina prayer book.

    Never liked the way he wasted time that day down in Kilmarnock after Seville, when his team were 4-0 down.

     

    Respect to him for giving his Scottish cup medal away in 1995, but maybe shows that he was’nt a Celtic fan at heart.

  12. Messi pushes the ball back to get some distance between the ball and the wall.

     

     

    Yellow card for Cabral for protesting.

     

     

    Messi. Too high.

    Ask Big Al to point oot the guy that works on the “windmills “

  14. Hamilton tim its ok i get it and my opinion would be different if i had seen that. I always felt strangely protected from that defeat having not seen it. I think it was the fact we were ahead for a spell. I think i was glad i didnt know that at the time if that makes any sense
