Dictionaries across the English speaking world will need to be updated for the term ‘loose cannon’, currently- noun, a person whose reckless behaviour endangers the efforts or welfare of others. In future they should be appended, ‘Charles Green’.
For months Charles has been busy telling anyone who would listen to him that his The Rangers club will never appear in the Scottish Premier League. Now, he has told the world the Scottish Football League are set to propose reconstruction which would see the end of the SPL and create one fewer step between his new club and top flight football. He told TalkSport, “I understand that the Football League [presumably he means the SFL]on Wednesday are having a meeting of clubs and it’s the intention of the executive to unveil what they think would be a restructuring plan for Scottish football.”
Green is one of the few from the SFL who have had anything to do with the plan, few were aware of it until his announcement yesterday. I hear the other architects of the plan inside the SFL are chief executive, David Longmuir and Airdrie United director, Jim Ballantye. My source also told me SFA president, Campbell Ogilvie was “in on the ground floor with the SFL plans”. They will all, surely, be frustrated that Green was out there with the news before the league were.
As STV today reported, the SFA have set a deadline of 30 November for the leagues to agree a reconstruction plan, “threatening they would instead push through with their own plans to bring about change by the 2013/14 season if an agreement could not be reached”. That’s next summer!
Timing here is everything, and is urgent.
The SPL Commission will soon convene into Improper Registration of Players at Rangers…
the predecessor club of The Rangers…
whose SFA membership The Rangers benefited from in order to compete in league football with less than three years accounts…
and who consequently are liable for penalties served on Rangers.
If found guilty, and no one is holding to the pretence otherwise anymore, the consequences for The Rangers are enormous. Forget about the inevitable stripping of titles, this is of historical consequence only, prize money [of circa £15m]will also be reclaimed and a punishment levied.
As I have said before, the toxicity of the old club is simply not viable to continue with. Newco Rangers either have to start from scratch, or the structures of Scottish football need to brought down with any penalties due wiped from the slates.
The Rangers share prospectus, now overdue, will have to detail these risks to the company unless an alternative narrative can be agreed and presented.
The chances of the SPL giving this Longmuir, Ballantyne and Ogilvie plan serious consideration are remote. It is a nonsense, will be rejected by the SPL and may even face opposition from those clubs within the Scottish Football League who stand to benefit from the change, but will find the motivations behind it unsupportable.
Scottish football is enjoying a well-earned renewal this season, no thanks to the game’s administrators, but the serious allegation, that many leagues and cups were won for over a decade by a club which was paying players against the tax laws of the country and against SFA, SPL and Fifa regulations, has yet to be resolved.
Until we know the truth, hear the consequences, know that those responsible are no longer in control of the game and have been banned for life from future involvement, there can be no talk of expedient change.
STV’s revelation that the SFA have imposed a 30 November deadline is the greatest illustration yet why “heavily conflicted” Campbell Ogilvie should have been on garden leave months ago. All those who carried out the duties which led to this shambles, and who have legal responsibility for it, should receive the life ban from the game that was promptly applied to Craig Whyte.
A swift rebuttal of this nonsense with a clearing of the decks is required. There can be no discussions on these matters while inquiries are on-going and those responsible for recent events are still running the game.

I agree, many small time investors.
If that presentation is the best they can do………………..toast!
Off out now…….the SFA need to understand that, if the are allowed back into the SPL, there will be a mass exodus of decent fans who want to support SPORT….

Sevco’s IPO Powerpoint Slidedeck,
https://skydrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=7241D12A18C19C59!387&app=PowerPoint
Make of It what you will, I see alot of bull myself.
——————————-
Any author of PowerPoint presentations would be ashamed of that slide deck. So unprofessional it beggars belief. Glaring errors which even a novice would be able to rectify in an instant. The inconsistencies in the styles used usually means that’s is has been created by different people and hacked together. For example, look at the use of bullet points. Sometimes yellow squares, sometimes blue dots.
And the content. Don’t make me laugh…
bt,
I think it someone leapt before looking, some just get too excited :oD))
BT
I saw that as well, hunbelievable

WARNING
beware friendly huns,
they are just trying to get fags brought back from Euro trips :oD))
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
They used to ask me to do that.
Told them to gtf.
Dont ask me any more.
HH!!
That presentation is desperate. In one hand Chuck says Scottish Football is bankrupt and dead. On the other, he compares it to the NFL.
You would need to be a complete nugget to invest serious money into that mob.
Who has rights to the catering at ibrokes? Craigy Bhoy mortgaged it all off to pay for new kitchens and tv’s out of Asda.
Never heard of any mob other than ticketus walking away…
“ah’ve goat fufteeeeee thoosan’ smackers burnin’ a hole in ma skyrocket……….hink ah’ll gie it tae walter……..”
Aye.
Gerry – I’ve switched my anti-virus scanner to the most secure setting and downloaded the actual PowerPoint file. It was created on 6th November, last edit the 9th. There is a name of an author in the properties, and curiously the company listed as Hewlett Packard. could have just been made on a PC with setup done by HP, doubt that tells us anything. Sadly there are no multiple edit versions or presenters notes in it to further illuminate the proposal.
HH
No, no, no.. No nay NEVER!
Like a wasp in the loo, they’re clinging to hope ..
What hope? There is none. Good bye .
Flush them down and away..

It was Kilbowie Celt ,he got a bit mixed up.
Masons at work here,any negative news from the FTT would truly sink Charlies Balloon and Claespegs gig.
TET, BT.
Someone made a mistake and jumped in, no names though, and no it wasn’t me;-)
One last thing as a brief visit. If my 8 year old tried to pass off that presentation as homework to be handed in, I would skelp his erse!
HH
On that poll site : interloping huns will be voting yes. They’re like that.
Kilbowie Kelt
NO

What I want to know is why the talk about Neil Francis Lennon`s income
….ahemmm!…..
Is…err….erm…..the red-faced cove referred to as….eh…..”The Bommur”…..involved in an official capacity?
*genuine question*
The sevco share issue is about fleecing idiot Huns ….no institutional investor will buy into that nonsense
Huns being conned CG doing a runner with their dough…what’s not to like
Rangers Tax-Case @rangerstaxcase
Sevco investment slide deck: pension fund managers across the land will be rushing to get a piece of the action. lolz! :-)

Not laughed so much since St. Hunus Day 2012. Need to consider, highlight for me Page 6:
Rangers FC: An Instituition
One of the world’s most successful and historic football clubs; established 1872, winner of 115 tropies…
Cannot argue with what they put but it is not the whole facts. what they have ommitted is died 2012 and soon to have the 115 trophies reduced. Exactly what I mentioned in my earlier post. to the world they portray themselves overtly as a continuous entity not dead.
I yearn for obliteration day, Armageddon, Third Lanark…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
…………….NO…………………

so, the last edit was before the “Colts” proposal was made public but it’s included?? maybe it is legit and they really are that thick
I couldnt get past the cover page, well refused too would be correct.
What will Companies House and BDO say about that cover, absolutely outrageous.
That ipo presentation a.k.a. a joke : how are people supposed to take that seriously? Or should I be saying ‘ra peepil’?
Because no one else could ever be stoopid enuff to buy into that insanely optimistic wishful thinking lumped on to the back of charts fom Wikipedia.

Rod McKenzie was involved in a serious RTA …genuine
There are real concerns for his well being …
Lennybhoy…,
is it a fraudulent claim then
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
What is Chuck Green’s end game in all of this??
Is it to get money back for Tcketus?
Wholeheartedly supported by the MSM at the expense of TFOD’s disposable income?
Why is the government holding back on releasing the FTT results?
It just doesn’t make sense to me?
A resounding no, never want the filth near our ground again.
….surely the stage is now set for former ‘big-wig’ and currant pundit – Gordon Smith to make a startling re-entry into the scoddish footballing arena?
Whether it’s Asbestox or Hampden……conditions are perfect…….
*fingers crossed*
PFayr…,
anything suspicious about the accident reported
