When Duff and Phelps put their initial deadline in place for bidders for Rangers back in March, Celtic Quick News took the view that Craig Whyte was the only show in town and that any successful bid for the company’s assets would have to come from him or his proxy.
We didn’t know who his proxy would be then and we are still not sure – although we could have a pretty good guess.
Place the current SPL and SFA dramas aside for a moment. If a deal is done to allow a Rangers-Newco to apply to play football next season the new ‘owner’ will be a Craig Whyte appointment.
If this unfolds in the days to come, I fully expect the SFA will take a very long time to consider any Fit and Proper questions, and I expect the SPL board will vote 4-1 to allocate a share in the league to the Newco.
Celtic, united with their own fans, and fans of the Gang of 10 clubs stand in one corner. The boards of the Gang of 10 want Rangers-Newco money too much to object. Don’t even count on Newco being subject to the penalties discussed at yesterday’s meeting.
A CQN’er is raising funds for the Wellburn Care Home in Dundee. Run by the Little Sisters of the Poor, Welburn offers incredible residential support for those in need in the Dundee area. It is only a viable concern through the dedication of the sisters and volunteers and fundraising initiatives such as sales of work, coffee mornings etc.
You can support their work by bidding for a Celtic top signed by the first team squad at this eBay auction. Your help is greatly appreciated.

CAN ANYONE WHO SERIOUSLY WISHES TO MAKE A CO-ORDINATED APPROACH TO SKY RE THEIR POSITION AND POSSIBLE CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTIONS IN THE EVENT OF A NEWCO PLEASE E-MAIL
Skynotonewco2012@gmail.com.
Apologies for shouting but wanted to bring attention to this. I believe that if those of us who subscribe to Sky and ESPN wish to influence and make an impact it is best done via a co-ordinated approach in writing to Jeremy Darroch. Doing it this way will also establish fairly quickly whether such a thought is simply pie in the sky ( pardon the pun ) or could have a real impact. If people contact me I’ll try to collate sufficient info to see whether its got a chance. For me its better than doing nothing and it is the only influence I have as I already bhoycott all the home and away matches:>)
If Chick Young ever aspires to the dizzy height of being an Internet Bampot, he’d still only be a troll.

A statement will not suffice. I want to see more than “STRONG STATEMENTS” with little real force.

oglach,
touche, but i think we may know different because its the word special on
the ticket that makes the difference.
derbyshirebhoy-Livibhoy posted a good idea ,combined with your own,to cancel on the same day giving the same reason.HH
Liverpool playing weakened team tonight ahead of FA cup final.
Fulham priced 4/1.
No Suarez or Gerrard.
Where’s all the self-righteous callers tonight?You know the ones who’s kids are scarred forever by Neil’s ‘disgusting’ antics.Did none of them watch Swalex last night?Are they too traumatised by his actions to call?

Good evening friends.
Can I ask, am I the only one who hasn’t yet received their season ticket renewal letter?
How big a numpty will you feel IF Ranewcogers reemerge in SPL, funded by the biggest share issue ever seen in European football, and celebrate by lifting the SPL trophy winning the league at Celtic Park???

Email sent. I’m not sure yet if this is the way forward, but I’m ready to be persuaded.
I can’t believe the blase way that everyone in the media, The Huns and Doncaster are discussing a newco.
This cheating and non payment of taxes they are wanting to leave behind and avoid paying is incredible.
Cheat and run up debts? No problem, move to the SPL we’ll take you with no sanction.
If the Huns are allowed into the SPL I will never set foot in ant stadium other than CP for the rest of my life and I hope many others do likewise.
I might not be able to stop the cheating but I’m not going to help finance it.

Not received mine mate.
MWD-What kind of lead are you looking for mate? I still think there are too many variables up in the air right now,but I think we need a statement for guys who are swithering about renewing ST’s.HH.
Clyde now, some sense at last. Get they scvm to feck!
Sally believes Rangers to be a special case and should be treated slightly different than other SPL clubs.Thank God!! For once we agree Sally.Rangers are special because they’re the only SPL club to fiddle the taxman for the last 20 years and they should be treated differently.They should be the only club thrown out of the league.
Lennybhoy good post re TCD and the wean.
I’m not drinking too much since Sunday…… Had to go on strong tablets yesterday …….
BT, I forgot they were doing that, jeez …. I was up singing on the stage innaw…. I was breaking bad on Sunday :>)
Terry O’Neill on SSB – absolutey brilliant. Terry has obviously done his homework. Awaiting response of the panel.
Jobo
me neither.

I work away from home so i don’t know but I wonder if any of you out there can give me the renewal date as I’ll not be back until the game against the purple hun.
‘Absolutely’ even.
Thank goodness someone else asked about Season Tickets.
I was never getting an answer.
Cheers.

It is indeed telling. why would you require a ‘special ticket’ if Rangers or indeed a Newco didn’t exist? Surely they are the only team in Scotland that could possibly demand sufficient tickets to warrant Celtic having to issue special season books. However another argument is that Celtic really do not know what is going to happen and as such have to prepare for all eventualities.
All this scaremongering concerning the impending Liquidation of der Hun & how it will impact on Scottish football is reminding me of parallels in the political/economic sphere at present. The old gun to the head technique: if you tax or punish the banks/financial institutions we will leave the City, pull out, & destroy your economy…we get suckered & believe it (not us- but people who still believe in MSM).

This would have impact if there were enough subscribers involved.
Ambitious, but not unachievable.
Jobo- Nothing here mate.
Go yersel Terry.
derbyshirebhoy on 1 May, 2012 at 19:21 said:
Count me in.
Already agreed with Livibhoy earlier about en masse cancellation on the 25th of May.
So I will go with what ever is agreed is the best idea.
Will have a talk with my brother and mates, I’m sure they will also be happy to do so whatever is decided.
Gary Neville bursts ma chop’s anyway ;)
