It’s difficult not to associate Hearts’ owner, Vladimir Romanov’s outburst on their club website yesterday with the current issue over Rangers finances, which could soon see the SPL, the SFA and the media take sides between Rangers and their creditors, in particular HM Revenue and Customs.
Romanov’s rant on the demise of the Scottish game was ignorable until he dragged in the “tax authorities” for blame. As you and I know, the tax authorities don’t play favourites, they collect vat, income, corporation and other taxes in line with the law.
Hearts failed to pay player wages last month and Romanov now says, “there is no point is spending millions to watch someone else’s show”. Most of Hearts debt is owed to Romanov’s own bank but if player wages are unpaid there is a good chance HMRC will also be outstanding, explaining the “tax authorities” reference.
If a new football club playing at Ibrox is ushered into the SPL with a points tally calculated from the position of a defunct Rangers you can expect a gold-rush of clubs ready to flush their debts to the country, and history, away.
Well done to STV who yesterday revealed the actual decision making process which would be put in place to judge an application to join the league midseason or at any other time. The SPL board, by simple majority, have the decision, while the SFA need to ratify membership.
If the SPL board vote to reward bad debtors’ shares in their league what incentive would most clubs have to pay their bills? Fortunately, our history is more valuable than any amount of cash.
The new issue of CQN Magazine will be out next week, let me know if you would like to advertise, celticquicknews@gmail.com.

That Celtic banner is always in the same spot at Villareal and is “Celtic Submari” which is also the name of Sandy Jamieson’s brilliant book about the friendship between Celtic & Villareal fans- recommended, available from Ringwood Publishing

The point about us resigning the SPL and joining Div 3 is two-fold.
1) It makes it clear we won’t be part of a corrupt league
2) If they believe so strongly that they can’t survive without both of us we give them the chance to prove they were right. A few SPL club going close to the brink or worse would teach them a lesson. We can survive being outside the SPL for 3 seasons.

I just lol there. If it means lots of love, we’ll move on.

Anyone keeping apace with the speculation on the RTC blog?
One majorly interesting theory has emerged over there, regarding the latest “fixed charge” assigned to a finance company called Close.
TheBlackKnight has raised the question as to whether Close themselves financed Whyte’s purchase of Rangers, and have now taken control because of his inability to keep track of his repayments to them.
Credible? Anyone got any insights?

MWD..,
over 6 years obviously, wouldnt think of trying to upset our dedicated board
Not only are Napoli down to 10, they’ve just scored, so in binary, they are up to 10.

That’s a 2989 Decimal joke. But it would make more sense in Hex. :)))

Question to anyone in the know. When a player goes out on loan is there usually an emergency recall clause in the loan deal.
I’m just thinking that given the injuries we’re racking up, we may need some of those loanees back DO’D at left back maybe and keep Young Mathews on his natural side.

What a frightening thought. The first thing that scared the bejeezus out of me with that was nothing to do with football, just the nightmare scenario of two of the most hate-filled, most violent, racist group of scum fans mating together in some kind of evil bigot orgy.
And you wouldn’t put it past their combined owners to see the value of the bigot pound in such a scenario. I’ve actually heard mini-huns referring to their daddies in the west as their big brothers, so some of them would happily bend over for that one.
