Urgency behind SFL plan

812

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.

    The great thing for Chuckles is that if any sevcovians challenge him about this, all he has to do is mention three of the seven magic words, and they all fall into line, just like the Manchurian Candidate.

     

     

    I shouldn’t repeat them here, because I was told them by a 19° degree mason, a Grand Pontiff of the Council of Kadosh, but the seven secret words that will cause bamboozlement and discombobulation amongst the sevcovians, and cause them to fall in line in a trance if three of them are used in the same sentence are

    Yes, it seems very clear they’ve got the owners they deserve these last few years. The doomsday clock is ticking very loudly now.

    Yeah I think I was one of the first to mention it. It’s the best show I’ve ever seen, bar none.

     

     

    Series 5 should be out on DVD shortly, but bear in mind it’s Season 5 Part 1 … they are splitting the final season into two seperate installments of 8.

     

     

    The first has already aired in the US and it’s … a bit special!

     

     

    The second half will air in the US in July 2013.

    You really have a lot of issues you need to work out.

     

     

    I can’t say I’m your biggest fan – that would be a lie, but fallafal aside, I really hopefully you are in a better place than you were a few months ago.

     

     

    But it’s safe to say, you have a long way to go to get better.

     

     

    As Chairman Mao once said, “The march of a thousand miles, starts with a single step”.

     

     

    Get help bud. If nothing else, it might stop your cries for help on here.

     

     

    And no one would complain about that.

    Well Kojo old chum.

     

     

    you have just lost me a bet.

     

     

    If I didn’t know better, I would say you did it in purpose, you old panjamdrum you.

     

     

    You see, I told my old side kick, “Lets see how long it is before Kojo starts humping my leg – metaphorically you understand” – “I’ll give it 20 minutes”

     

     

    But, my old chum said “He’ll be back snapping at your ankles within 10 minutes”

     

     

    And he was right.

     

     

    Although I’m mixing the old metaphors we are talking about snapping ankles and humping legs.

     

     

    Well you do both, and do them well, metaphorically – you understand.

     

     

    But from now on lets keep to this simple rule. Speak when you’re spoken to.

     

     

    It works on so many levels – and it will stop me losing bets!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

     

    I’ll let you know when we are having a discussion, like tonight.

     

     

    I’ll initiate it, to save you from doubt.

     

     

    And if you forget our new rule, and try to initiate a conversation, well, I’ll do what the majority of people do on here do, and ignore you.

     

     

    Simple enough. (hopefully)

    As funny as CG’s PowerPoint.

     

     

    No takers methinks.

  7. Chunkles thinks, in his deluded brain fog, that he is the ‘Heisenberg’ of Scottish football.

     

    He will soon discover that he is actually the Walter Mitty of Div.3 and that reality has a cold bite.

  8. For anyone who missed it. The right stuff from Oor Victor…..Oor Victor ah tell yez….he kin go tae ManUre once he’s spent a guid few seasons wi’ us, his hame away fae hame, and Fergie can stump up the £50mill that the big yin is mos def worth.

  9. Anybody notice how the comments sections on any potentially controversial issues reported in the press are no longer available?

     

    Anybody notice the petty stuff, i.e. the slightest deviation from the heads down no questions asked mindset, that citizens are getting arrested for or hassled in the middle of the night, gestapo style?

     

    What, exactly, is going on? This kind of thing is becoming endemic in The West as the screws of The Shock Doctrine, under cover of fake austerity, are tightened ever further.

    Hearts given more time by taxman

     

    PA Sport – 5 hours ago

     

     

     

    Hearts now have until December 3 to pay their outstanding tax bill

     

    Hearts have been given more time to pay their outstanding tax bill by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, lifting the immediate threat placed on them.

     

    The Edinburgh club said in a statement on Tuesday night that they had been granted until December 3 to settle their debts, with their owed amount of £449,692,04 being split over two payments.

     

    The club have also provided HMRC with assurances that future payments would be made in a “timeous manner”.

     

    Hearts were last Wednesday served with a winding-up petition and given eight days in which to pay what they owed, putting their future in severe danger.

     

    Hearts revealed the decision was also made possible after a number of senior first-team squad members offered to defer their November salaries, due on Friday, to a later date.

     

    Director Sergejus Fedotovas said: “We are pleased that we have been granted this extension as it acknowledges the strenuous efforts that are going on to ensure this club continues to contribute to employment, society, community and football in Scotland.

     

    “We have a lot of hard work ahead of us in order to fully rectify our financial position but with further backing and ongoing fundraising by supporters we know that we have a very positive opportunity to create a strong club for the future.”

    thats the long and short of it, turn the tables and imagine their response.

    Distrust of authority is healthy, keep it burning, its called free speech, silent compliance does no one any favours.

     

    But no one should do it with the motive to cause distress to the loved ones, only compassion for their loss.

     

    Eastorilbhoy,

     

    wish I’d asked that question, cost me money to get the Title Deeds but it gives me the security that no one can question my place :o)

     

    I know where my Title Deeds are, seems to be a bit of a problem in Scotland for some, I think releasing your Title Deeds is manditory as it requires Land Registry alterations.

     

     

    But its still good to know where your Title Deeds are :o)

     

     

    The Green Brigade are building weapons of mass entertainment and we all need to be afraid, the very fabric of Scottish society is being threatened. Hans Blix has advised the United Nations and they have passed all information on to N.A.T.O. who are currently developing a strategy at Camp David.

     

    Meanwhile the Strathclyde Police are heroically containting the onslaught with minimum casualties. Yesterday our boys in the front line, the irrepressable Strathclyde Police staged a dawn raid and cautioned a known terrorist in possession of weapons grade materials, five coloured ink markers, six crayons and a bedsheet were removed from the unassuming location.

     

    The perpetrator one, Mr Irish Catholic, was cautioned and advised that an injunction taken out against him informed him his movements have been restricet, he cannot, be within 100 Meters of establishments where writting implements are on public sale or gratis, such as, WH Smiths, Woolwoths (theres a poundstrechers in partick and they still call it woolworths;O). Neither can he come within 100 meters of Lewis’s, TK Maxx, or any other establishment that have Bedding for public sale or gratis.

     

    Your security is our main priority, if you see someone writting or reading call this number 000000000000000000 and report this disgusting behaviour, if you have ever witnessed such disturbing behaviour let us know, we have trained specialists who know how to help you.

    The plan of course is to releive them of as much dosh as possible, the overall strategy is asset stripping to gain the money for the foreign investors.

    I always knew you were a prick, as do most on here. You do not need to keep piling up the evidence.

     

     

    We have the full spectrum of political views on here, from the far left, to the fascist right – you will know about the latter no doubt. Your attack on SFTB says more about you than it ever will about his politics, of which I know nothing. When I see him commenting, it is usually on fitba, and how he has read a game or viewed a player’s contribution. Invariably he has managed to put into words what I was struggling to get out. I respect his word because I have read and appreciated what he has put down on e-paper. I have also had the privelege to meet him and discuss Celtic with him – his love and knowledge of our club is there for all to see, both in person and on this blog.
