Celtic Diary Friday April 27: Deflector Shields Buckling Under The Strain

Dave King has ran out of time to make his offer to “rangers ” shareholders.

And yet he said he would as well…just last month

 

“Supporters will be aware of the Takeover Panel’s ruling last year that I must make an offer to the non- concert party minority shareholders of the Rangers International Football Club PLC.

“I have defended this ruling on the basis that any offer should not come from me but should be made by one of my trust companies. The Takeover Panel has relented to my request for which I am grateful.

“I confirm that it will be announced today that one of my trust companies will now proceed and shall within a short period make a fully funded offer in compliance with the normal requirements of the Takeover Panel.” 

The media have ignored this, which is probably the most significant development in the short history of the Ibrox club, and if truth be told, there is very little in the mainstream which informs the public what this means and what the consequences could be.

In fact, its almost as though they are trying to deflect attention away from it.

Stevie Gerrard, Graham Potter, and Ronald de Boer are at the final interview stage for the managers job…Stevie Clarke didn’t get that far…until tittle tattlers put to and two together after seeing this…

Scott Arfield ( out of contract at Burnley) and Allan MacGregor ( out of contract at Hull ) are touted as new signing, with others rumoured to be on Director of Football Mark Allen’s radar.

And yet there’s nothing concrete. No one outlining their vision for the clubs future.

The BBC reported that Arfield, despite being legally able to talk to anyone about a deal since January, had been given permission to talk to “rangers “, even though he didn’t need it.

Well, there’s one person directing events, it seems..

And the further away from king’s possible contempt of court charge, and the resulting “cold shoulder” he can take it, the better.

Something else they would rather not be discussing is Sundays game between Celtic and “rangers “.

After Celtic proved that there is still a significant difference between the two sides on the field at Hampden, there is a feeling amongst both sets of fans and in the media, a few staunchies excepted, that a serious and possibly mortal blow to the Ibrox clubs season could be struck on Sunday.

Sorry, not season.

I meant existence.

Another heavy defeat and piss poor performance will affect season book sales for next term, leaving the Ibrox club struggling to put the lights on.

An insolvency event before the end of this season , given Kings toxic influence on this entity of the club, seems likely, were it not for the need to play in Europe next season, remember their income streams depend on that.

Should Europe become unattainable, and we hear that UEFA may not even grant them a licence, there is the perfect excuse to clear the decks again, and set up “rang3rs ” , ridding themselves of Toxic Dave and any , er , short term loans.

The Close Brothers loan is secured, which means they would have to transfer that one over to the new company, and that won’t be cheap.

And don’t forget, after Rangers went under, the rules were changed so any new entity will be able to pick up where the last one leaves off.

No journey required.

It’s almost as though they planned this…

 

So Celtic had better be on form on Sunday, because there’s every chance it will be instrumental in the future of “rangers ”

Which should be all the incentive the players need.

 

Although there is also a chance-another chance-to secure the seventh title.

Celtic should prove too strong for the Ibrox side, and there is also the mental block put in place after the last two games, so just by doing what they do best, any eleven  Rodgers picks should suffice.

A key player in the Glasgow Derby  is Tom Rogic, who might just have given us a clue as to where he wants to play his football for the next few years..

Celtic the club is enormous,” 

“There is obviously a large history and anytime there is a match or anytime you pull on that jersey, you have a responsibility.

“There is a certain amount of pressure that comes with representing the club, but all players want to play at the highest level and for the biggest clubs. That’s what comes with it, so it’s pretty cool to represent the club.”

‘It’s an amazing place to play and you certainly feel the support when you are out there,” 

“It seems like a long time ago since I signed and it seems like I’ve been here forever, but I wouldn’t change anything.”

Image result for interesting fact

Tom was born in the town of Griffith, New South Wales.

That is also the surname of his team mate Leigh Griffiths. Nearly.

Griffiths started his senior career at Livingston-which is the name of the tory lord on  Celtic’s board.

Can’t just be coincidence.

 

Griffiths, along with stalwart James Forrest are looking to sign new deals at Celtic. Thats the sort of continuity needed at the club to move forward, and along with a higher quality of signing over the summer, to strengthen where its needed, the way forward is starting to become clear, well, at least the way to the way forward.

Sensible policies with a clear aim.

As opposed to our opponents on Sunday, who appear to have been unable to conquer their moonbeam addiction..

But, as Hullbhoy on twitter warns…with tongue firmly in cheek, there may be hope for the addicts..

 

Friday, of course, means we announce the Etims

Knob Of The Week 

Someone hasn’t done his job properly.

He’s been sidetracked.

There have been no stories along the lines of how “rangers ” can shock Celtic this weekend, and its as though this season has been written off by the PR guru working on behalf of “rangers ” .

Fair enough, he’s been flat out with the remit of selling season books foir next year, but where are the stories about fighting for pride , that “battle fever ” we hear so much of ?

So, for failing in his duty to whip up support for the Ibrox players to damage Celtics title hopes, and perhaps even encourage a late surge for their own title charge, the fat controller himself, James Traynor, is this weeks Etims

Knob of the Week 

Come on Jim, get that finger out.

“He would be followed by highly-rated French midfielder FRERE BAISE-SOEUR, who is adept at playing in the hole”…

Well, he would be adept at playing in the hole, since FRERE BAISE-SOEUR translates into English as BROTHER FUCKS SISTER! I suppose that’s a novel way to guarantee season ticket sales – hell, I’m tempted to pay for a season ticket to ibrox myself for that 90 minutes of entertainment!!

I wonder how long it will take for any of these fuckwits to have their wee “lightbulb” moment?

“I have defended this ruling on the basis that any offer should not come from me but should be made by one of my trust companies. The Takeover Panel has relented to my request for which I am grateful.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The panel actually stated that either He or NOAL make the offer, his statement implies that ANY of his trust companies can make the offer which is not the case and I believe T.O.P. were not impressed with that. Either way he has missed every deadline, has been in contempt of court and still has yet to face any repercussions.

So sevco fans are saying if there is any trouble on Sunday the suits are to blame, which would leave one to believe they may be planning for trouble.

What a perfect opportunity for Celtic to cut the allotment of tickets to a minimum after all it is their job to protect our fans & players.

Listening to Alan Brazil take the pisss out of Sevco supporters expecting Steven Gerard to succeed Graham Murty, good build up for Sunday that. Thought Gerard was a very good player and he seemed a decent bloke and I won’t hate him if he ends up with Sevco, his choice. He must be there or there abouts or he or Liverpool would have issued a denial by now. If he comes he might get a few young guys like Celtic, yes the invincibles were built on loan academy players, Gordon, Lustig, Tierney, Boyata, Simmunovic, Griffiths, Brown, Dembelle, Forrest, Sinclair, McGregor, Rogic, Armstrong and whoever I have forgotten. The bottom line is that they have no money while I think rumours of their demise are wishful thinking, Ralph was at it above, they are at best like Leeds United, some supporters and media remember who they think they are or were but the sums don’t add up. Monti has a good piece on splash the cash, the fact is Celtic will not stand still and neither will some of the other Scottish clubs. The England goalkeeper and captain are not on their way, English clubs are not banned from Europe.

Sorry to be pedantic. Lord Livingston is no longer a member of the Celtic Board. He stepped down a year or so after his public vote to end tax credits for the very least well off. This was the right decision for him to step down as he acted in a way to be the opposite of the ethos, regarding assistance to those less well off, of Celtic FC. The petition to remove him was based in this dual standard he demonstrated and nothing else.

Once again the time creeps up on the smelly creeps in blue to take another bitch-slapping from the bhoys. It probably won’t be as easy as last time but it should be comfortable enough. It has to be treated as a must-win game and the players’ attitude has to bang on for this.

Heres my XI for Sunday:

Patsy Olly Broonie Calmac

Moussa Edu

Griff, Jamesie, Big Tam or even Stuart A to feature if needed.

Sorry to see that Andrés Iniesta will be leaving Barça at the end of the season. A wonderful player and a wonderful bloke. Unfortunately it’s highly unlikely we’ll ever see him in the Hoops as he’s expressed a desire to play in a non-European league. The world’s his oyster, as China, Japan, Quatar, USA and other countries beckon. I expect him to shine once again in the World Cup. Best of luck Andrés and thanks for the memories.

YBhoy, I was watching a video on YouTube of the great players talking about the best atmospheres they’ve experienced and AI said that CP was untouchable. Footballing wise, you quickly realise that when he played, he was supreme. I fully agree with your sentiment regarding AI. I believe after the Copa Del Rey he was a stick on for China. FC Barca will sorely miss him. Wonderful player.

Noel, yeah he has been brilliant for club and country. He has won more major trophies than any other Spanish player in the history of the game and, of course, he has a special place in the hearts of the Spanish people after scoring the only goal in the final against Holland in the SA World Cup of 2010. At the age of 34 he was easily MOTM in the Spanish cup final last weekend outshing Messi. Both him and Xavi Hernandez have been great ambassadors for the game and supreme footballing talents. Laudrup was also a great player but whether or not he was better than Iniesta is a matter of opinion.

I heard from a friend today,who was looking for a ticket on Sunday which i was happy to help him out with, me and him used to go over the water together during the “troubles” Anyway he moved to Liverpool many years ago, and told me a story that took me completley by surprise over Stevie G.
It is told that Stevie G was being hounded by the Liverpool gangsters especially when he said he was going to leave liverpool earlier in his career. It got that bad that a very prominent figure was approached in liverpool with links to the Ra to help him out.
A phone call was made and a visit was made from Dublin to the advisors of Stevie G. The Liverpool gangsters were told in no uncertain terms that their hold of stevie g was over. He was then given full protection at no cost to him of the RA
Of course i cant say if that is true or not but i do trust my m8 and if he has heard it then it probably is.
