That’s not an outbreak of Tourettes you hear

No, that’s not an outbreak of Tourettes across small patches in the west of Scotland, it is the long-suffering Newco fans realisation that their board have been breathtakingly incompetent in their attempts to recruit a manager.

In many respects, briefing the media ahead of their two games against Aberdeen and an AGM that Derek McInnes would be installed at Ibrox this week, had the desired effect. The players were sufficiently motivated to out-perform Aberdeen, while Dave King got through the AGM on a nod and a wink. The falsehood of the assertion, however, will surely come at a cost. King will hope that memories fade before he has to face fans again in 51 weeks.

My immediate reaction when I read the ridiculous statement from Newco last night was that their hilarious PR system was at the keyboard while jaked. They spend six weeks targeting McInnes, then, after he rejected them, claimed this was evidence he was not up to the job.

An obscure phrase was used, “concomitant risk”, instead of the more common “associated risk”. There’s a fair bit of research into why people unnecessarily use complex and obscure words instead of simpler alternatives. None of it is flattering.

I assumed the statement was the work of Newco’s shamlessly-brilliant PR operation, but a studious CQN’er emailed this clip of Dave King’s AGM speech last year.

4 minutes 29 seconds in he states they should: “run an operating deficit, without a concomitant event risk that could lead to a repeat of the last few years”. Last night’s statement has Dave’s tones all over it.  Fewer and fewer people compliment the emperor on his new outfit.

A big thanks to teams two and three in the league, who have damaged their positions and/or humiliated themselves, while Celtic have extended their lead at the top of the table.

    Good morning CQN – I would be grateful for the thoughts and prayers of this community for my friend John McG, wife H and family. John, a retired Fireman, originally from Hamilton has been based in Mansfield for many years, yet has commuted to Glasgow regularly to take his seat in section 105 of the North Stand in support of our team. A few months ago he told me of his son Graham, 44yrs of age, married with 3 young sons, a serving Fireman being diagnosed with an insidious form of cancer, secondaary deposits already in major organs. Despite surgery and aggressive Chemotherpy and Radiotherapy Graham lost his fight on 23rd of November. Thank you for listening.

    Sad day for John and his family, three boys who will miss their Dad. Rest in peace Graham, may your family find strength, and peace in your memory.

    If, say Everton, had tapped up a fairly successful Sevco manager, and the Liverpool msm were full of him going South, only for it not to happen, can you imagine the Jabba led fanfare?

     

    Can you then imagine the laptop loyal group hatchet job on ensuing Everton club statement?

    Goooood Morning CQN

     

    & FtSFA

     

     

    What should us fans of a fair game do now ?

     

    After this result

     

     

    Fans of many clubs were concerned by the SFA’s refusal to join with the SPFL in a review of the actions of both organisations over the last 10 years. Processes used by both organisations were clearly insufficient and rules were inadequate to properly deal with deliberate rule breaking, deception and financially irresponsible behaviour by at least one member club.

     

     

    In response to the SFA’s refusal, a process was undertaken by fans to investigate whether a Judicial Review of that refusal was possible. A national firm of Solicitors was engaged, and they in turn instructed a prominent QC to provide opinion on the matter.

     

     

    The Opinion, which we accept, is that the SFA were entitled to refuse the SPFL request. It is irrelevant whether this refusal was illogical, self serving or protectionist. There is not a case in law to force the SFA to comply with even a perfectly reasonable request which is in the best interests of the game in Scotland.

     

     

    For the avoidance of doubt this advice was not in regards to , and does not apply to , the Res 12 issue which still sits with the compliance officer.

     

     

    I think there should be an all out boycott of anything FtSFA ??
