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.

That is incredible.
Johnny Clash@15.11– don’t forget the crossed rivet guns on the shorts.
So the latest Commission looking into the Oldco has been postponed and no date set due to ill health.
FTT still due. Other reports still outstanding.
Meanwhile Chuckles still trying to screw them for £20 share issue.
Has no one in Scotland got the Ballochs to made a decision against them.

Ah! Clydebank of course.
Maybe it’s time someone took a look at the budget for Strathclyde Police.
They’ve evidently got money to burn.
Big Nan @ 15:21,
So Charles Green sees a problem if a second club goes out of business? Now that must mean he accepts one club has already gone out of business …
Whats the story with hooper and lassads injuries
Will the CSA please get of their erchie and help the GB. Start a fund to pay for the costs of legal aid.
The tactic of provoking the GB hoping for a response is not going to go away unless action is taken.
The bhoy in here that has contact with Alex Thomson, how about a blogg concerning the Strathclydes harrasment of the GB.

Not what I want, not what any Celt I’ve met wants. I want to see that rank rotten mob buried, concreted over and forgotten.
And I really want to see the utter cretins who pumped them up like the ugly inflatable doll of a club they pretended to be for decades, jailed and ruined.
Harassment of The Green Brigade by a luj run police force, while they threaten, batter and indulge themselves in wanton violence for fun with ‘leader aff’ Fat Sally givin’ it large, and Chunkles blustering like the scum laden ratbag he is?
Aye. Everything’s tickety boo.
Afternoon bhoys from a damp but thankfully hun free mountain.
Just looking at what CG said, he disny sound to confident does he ………….

Cant see “god willing” anything on him and his support but abject pain and misery.

I’m sure God has more to annoy him

LOL…….. I have already decided that I will never step inside any stadium which is infested by that mob but, hopefully, I won’t have to…..thanks to bungling greengo con man
I don’t care what anyone says. We need out of it.
Our board surely has the brains to come up with a feasible plan to extract us from this socially and politically corrupt quagmire in the world’s newest and smallest apartheid state.
No wonder that those who can are emigrating.
Morning lads
My bro and I will be heading back to Scotland next week, and will be at the ICT game on the 24th.
1. Best location for seats? I’d be keen on the GB section, but (i) not sure if they are available, and (ii) if the (older bro. would go along with that)…
2. Nice to catch up with a few CQN’ers, so if there is something going on before the game, would be great to put a few faces to the monikers.
Good job there’s no god then …
The o** f*** is no more. The club that we had a longstanding rivalry with is dead. “The Rangers” are just another Glasgow club; one we have never played.

It’s almost Orwellian, and by citing imaginary foes they can keep their overtime. Is it getting near budget time?
The ole Sevco – – Back Flip
Odd request but this is always the best place to find info on all things Celtic related.
I’ll be in Strasbourg the night we play Spartak in the CL
Anybody know of any fine establishments where i can watch the game and go off ones nut?
‘Old Firm’ derby to be replaced by ‘Sevco I V Sevco II’, aka El Drastico.
@The_Badgeman: @celticfc Why are Strathclyde Police Tactical Unit visiting fans and “accusing” themof being GB members before saying they are being watched
@The_Badgeman: @celticfc This harassment of fans following the team has to be stopped. The Club SHOULD make a statement backing the fans, after all…..
Ikea – Japan
Just logged in again so sorry if you guys have raised GB issue.
BSR/15.42- looks like ole Diego Maradona’s bid to impress the Sevco scouts with his current fitness is going well.
bournesouprecipe
Looks like sevco could be building up their very own creditors list.

I was there the night ole Tiger Tim was sacked for sharing a European Hunnies result with the crowd.

That video of Wanyama linked by ‘CG could be dangerous in the wrong hands and needs to be taken down immediately.

BTW: I don’t see how we on;y had 24% possession against Barca. It looks like VW had 30% all on his own.
SUPERB.
Is it true that Hibs have sacked a DJ for playing Taxman at the weekend?

Tis true – but some Hibs fans are saying he was sacked for playing The Beatles ;-)
Charles Green is a permanent embarrassment and a constant disgrace. It’s one inane comment after another, delivered with uncritical obedience by his mates in the msm. Whilst there may be wisdom in Celtic ignoring him, I really would like us to put out a statement making it clear we regard RFC as an ex club, and that Greens new club is one that one day- God willing- we will happily put ten past before half time. With our reserves.
I like the ole Hibee Fans new version of – Hearts, Hearts, Glorious Hearts.
Flats, Flats, Glorious Flats.
I’m in Poundland East Kilbride, and about to make them an offer they can’t refuse.
