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!

    Unlucky It ran a good race, Going onto the last fence i was hoping for a 1,2,3. HH

  3. Paul Murray on traynors programme has the cheek to talk about improving the rankers squad for next season.

     

     

    Jabba and dung don’t ask him the simple question: do you think the creditors of RIA should be paid?

     

     

    Murray almost brushed aside the possibility of selling the stadium to pay the bills. Dung then talks waffle about newcos.

    It’s not the simple questions they don’t ask ……. it’s the misinformation that they slip in when giving an answer.

     

     

    Jabba says: it’s not as if the SFA didn’t know about the EBTs – it’s whether they were legal.

     

     

    Then again – I thought: probably true about the SFA knowing. After all – Ogilvie and Duffield were working there!

     

     

    Or then again Jabba says: PL will be concerned about our forthcoming ST sales if newco don’t get into the SPL.

     

     

    Hmmmmmmm!

    What kind of world do we live in when CQNrs are competing to see who could put up a link to Tam Cowan, a man who took a job as a food critic in the belief it would help him lose weight. Actually, reading it was a bit of a shock, it was actually funny, and made some serious points. I am tending towards his last one, let us go a season without a TV deal, let the clubs agree an alternative medium, play games at three o clock on a Saturday afternoon and see how it goes. No?

  6. Googybhoy,very good,did junior and seabass..no luck. I’m holding out for the lotto tonite..

    Fact of the day; all thoroughbred horses can be traced back to one of three Arabic stallions imported into England in the 17th Century.

    The above link should take you to the notonewco site and a simple protest suggestion for the next SPL game. Sorry if it’s been posted already but I’ve no time to check through the posts…two four year olds to put to bed!!

    Hi

     

     

    strange request: Anyone have an idea of the condition of the Caldebank grass football pitch near the A8/M8 at Chapelhall ? Tattie field or bowling green ?

  12. prestonpans bhoys on

    Hertz could only sell 10,000 tickets for the game because they expect a hammering.

     

     

    One Hertz fan said to me before I left work on Friday “what decision will you get to win the game”. “None” said I “because your team are complete mince and will get hammered”

    If you’re still around mate, don’t use Mount Florida the wee huns will be using that tomorrow and even if there’s not many on the trains you would have to walk through them on your approach to the ground.

  14. My wife and I both know nothing about horse racing, as you’re about to find out. Before the race we sort of, simultaneously, said, that horse shouldn’t be running. Those of you who know horse racing, wasn’t there a case for withdrawing Synchronised from the race? I’m not talking about the horse dying, no one could have predicted that outcome, but it just didn’t look as if it could take part and do well, after the way it was behaving before the race.

    just sent your request to my Calderbank friend,his immediate reply was”cow field lol”

     

    HAIL HAIL

  16. I see the Tam Cowan article

     

    Yip Tam’s a great guy

     

    The same p***k that called a priest a Peado at a function ?.

     

    I cant turn on the nice guy stuff because he pens a wee funny article and forget what his history is.

     

    He’s a complete….

     

    But , everyone to their own.

    I’m with you mate. Just because he’s fat doesn’t make him funny :-)

  18. Celt55; I totally agree with you, given the way it ran away and the distance it covered and also with Tony McCoy also clearly being injured, there was clearly a case of them both being withdrawn. I appreciate however that there was hundreds of thousands of bets on it, as the favourite, but at least they would have got their money back.

     

    Anyway I lost out by a nose to win £50

  19. About time horse racing over fences was banned, once and for all. After all it is all about greed and nobody gives a fig about the poor beasts giving their lives up. Makes me sick.

    I was reading Robert Minhinnick’s “El Aziz: Some Pages from His Notebooks”. It is in the shortlist for the Sunday Times EFG Bank short story award. This is a paragraph from it:

     

    “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.”

     

     

    ……we really do need them for cultural reasons.

    Was it you who posted something about a greenhouse a year or two ago? That caught a lot of attention:o)

    I like Tam Cowan.

     

     

    He was asked today who had scored in the Merseyside derby.

     

     

    “Charlie Admin”? he quipped.

     

     

    The guy’s funny,

    I would be in agreement, but would see a case for making the jumps less of a hurdle, my Mrs would be 100% against it, she used to protest at the racing in Ireland, got a hard time for her troubles.
