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!

    So, if the knights of ng, or some others, were to say they would pay off the huns debt at 1 million a year, would that be ok?

     

    Would that recompense me for the money i spent following Celtic in the 80s and 90s, in a financially doped league?

     

    When we were signing biggins, they were signing laudrup, is that ok?

     

    Everyone knows what should happen to them, down to the 3rd division, but it would please me if they where allowed into the spl, just to shaft them 4 times a season, and lord it over them, revenge is a dish best served cold.

  2. Just watched Bruce Springsteen Born to Run (again),on youtube.The crowd shots are amazing,sorry cant do the linky thing.

    Rangers & Linfield are the most successful clubs in world football.

     

     

    So they say.

     

     

    The first time he bowled, Kim Jong-il scored a perfect 300, according to North Korean media. Similarly, in his first-ever round of golf, he had five hole-in one holes for 38-under par round.

     

     

    That’s what they said.

    Algarvian,

     

    This shower of tax dodging,debt dodging,corrupt scumbags should be consigned to the gutter,never mind the third division with a host of their so called directors/owners looking at time in Barlinnie never mind operating in football.

     

    To suggest they should be allowed to stay in to POSSIBLY beat them four times is just utterly absurd.

  5. Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,

     

    Who never to himself hath said,

     

    This is my own, my native land?

     

    Whose heart hath ne’er within him burn’d,

     

    As home his footsteps he hath turn’d,

     

    From wandering on a foreign strand?

     

     

    If such there breathe, go, mark him well;

     

    For him no Minstrel raptures swell.

     

    High though his titles, proud his name,

     

    Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;

     

     

    Despite those titles, power, and pelf,

     

    The wretch, concentred all in self,

     

    Living, shall forfeit fair renown,

     

    And, doubly dying, shall go down

     

    To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,

     

    Unwept, unhonor’d, and unsung.

    No dis-respect to der hun,but personally…i would rather we played the elite European clubs of Europe every season than to ever entertain that shower again,even if it meant defeating el hun 53-nil in every game we played them in.

     

     

    25th of May 1967 – Nothing even to do with the skintos.What can i say?

     

     

    Just go away,and stop clinging on to our coat tails ffs.

     

     

    To even be associated with that rabble is just embarrassing.

    That was actually true, i was second on 37 under, :p.

  8. Didn’t North Korea suffer a 7-1 defeat to Portugal in the World Cup and the Media in Korea only showed the one goal and claimed the final score was 1-0 Korea?

  9. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    Sixteen roads,

     

    The 25th of May.That’s it mo chara and that’s the reason they are where they are today.They just couldn’t handle it and in utter desperation they tried every which way and dirty underhand tactic fully sanctioned by the SFA to emulate us.

     

    To no avail.

     

    All through the years the Huns fully endorsed what they were doing and now all of a sudden when they are in the mire its Murrays fault,Whytes fault,everybody apart from the great Glesca Rainjurs support.Farewell and hopefully ye’ll be out of our sights forever.

  10. All the hun talk sometimes brings me down,being constantly reminded of them.There’s times i pine for ‘tic talk.Have to say though,i do enjoy the schadenfreude.So GIRUT and may their suffering be plentiful. :-)))))))

    Sixteen roads,

     

    Its desperately sad about the horses.Cheltenham and Aintree,year after year mate it happens.However,they will literally be thrown on the scrap heap and as long as there is the financial bonanza of these events animal lovers sadly will have no say and I find that awful.

    I met him at the hospital when my bhoy was born.

     

     

    This daft bugger couldn’t work the drinks machine and just as i was about to lose the rag he got it and stood up. Couldn’t believe it when i saw it was Heinke. Had a chat and it turns out his wife (Magdalena) was in Queen Margaret’s to give birth to their 2nd. My bhoy had just been born and I had all the toys in the room, i.e. camcorder etc..could have been a pain and asked him to pose for photos but as I had just been through it I didn’t even ask. Just wished him luck.

    AoW,

     

     

    Great wee tale.I don’t know if i’d like to meet him,with him being a deity and all. ;-)

     

    I just satisfy myself with the knowledge i got to watch a Celtic,and footballing,great.The wonderful memories he left will never leave me.

     

    Henke,i love you.
