Celtic Diary Tuesday May 22: Any Other Business ?

Now that the football is over for a wee while, we can turn our attention to some of the more important isuues surrounding the game in general.

Notably, the arrival of the new kid in town over at the SFA.

I’ve never trusted anyone who wears a jumper with a suit. So you might say my mind is already made up.

However, lets give him a chance.

Fresh from taking Partick Thistle into the unimaginatively named championship, albeit from the equally unimaginatively named Premiership, Maxwell has his work cut out at the SFA. He cannot expect any help from those already at Hampden if he wants to clean up the game and try to move it forward.

So he will need it from the clubs, the media, and most of all the supporters.

His first job will be to sort out allegations that Rangers cheated and lied their way to a UEFA licence whilst owing money to the taxman, which, of course, according to UEFA rules, is not allowed. He will also have to decide if the SFA were a party to this.

He has a chance to make his mark.

Auldyin, over on the Kerrydale Street forum, explains where we are up to..

A response from Rangers is due by May 22, with a principal hearing date set for June 26. 

Hang on,

Image result for today

So is it all over the papers ?

Nope. Its not in any of them. Though no doubt a statement from “rangers “, who like that sort of thing, will appear around teatime.

There are a couple of feelgood stories around for the gullibillies, a couple of signings, and an offer for Morelas, a loan offer, which if accepted is going to make the guy who turned down £11m for the Colombian wonder feel fairly stupid.

Although, of course, that will somehow be blamed on Graeme Murty, as he is a catholic who was hell bent on destroying the new club.

Anything, in fact, to keep the real story off the back pages, a story which no one seems to want to cover.

We have been told that some hacks will approach the story when the trial-trial my arse, its a works disciplinary meeting- is over. Which, as we know, means they will be hoping it will coincide with the outbreak of World War three, or another royal car crash, or perhaps even a cure for stupidity, which will give them something to look forward to.

they are reluctant to even explain what the issue is, as that would mean more people are aware of the shennanigans of the ruling body and their favourite limb.

Auldyin explains…

How Rangers described the status of the liability in their application which let a licence be granted was false and their failure to notify SFA before UEFA presented with list of clubs granted one on 26th May 2011 of the 20th May HMRC demand was itself a breach of another UEFA FFP in the granting period. The misrepresentation in March is down to SDM’s regime, the failure to notify SFA to CW. 

If the granting is not being looked at then Celtic must ask why as it was an incorrect granting as result of what SFA accepted in March 2011 that robbed Celtic of a CL place. The Rangers statement looks like it came straight from a well know Rangers obfuscator under guises of Lawman, Steerpike and Jas Boyd.

Celtic shareholders and Celtic must have an explanation for the granting not being questioned if that is indeed true,. That is doubtful for reasons given especially when it was Rangers Chairman at the time A Johnson who made the false status statement and who has not yet been granted fit and proper status by the SFA.

The Res12 lawyer has a timeline that shows systematic non disclosure by Rangers to authorities from 2005 right to March/April 2012 and the SFA responses to him from 2015 are indicative of an organisation not wanting to be found out. 

The charges might be an attempt to throw Rangers under a bus but the SFA have questions to answer about what they did in the monitoring period and how full and honest their responses to Celtic were from 2011.

The SFA charges which do not mention periods they relate to are the right ones, unlike LNS where the same charges should have applied but did not because the same evidence of dishonesty was not provided to SPL lawyers in 2012.

There will be an attempt at containment but it can only happen if Celtic agree to it and get a lot in terms of SFA reform in return.

Res12 was all about SFA accountability and having the Judicial Panel Disciplinary Tribunal take place is a result in those terms. 

Quite what emerges next will be interesting. 

The pantomime over on the other side of the city must not be allowed to distract from the real issue here. The game must be cleaned up, and those with influence must use it.

Otherwise, no one will invest, no tv deal will be forthcoming, and worst of all, we’ll know we were cheated, and we will lose the trust we have in those who run our game, and to an extent, those who run our club.  

Now if I were Dermot Desmond or Peter Lawwell, thats not how I’d like to be remembered for my time at Celtic. After all, if they do nothing, one would begin to wonder if there was collusion. 

 

Maxwell may also want to have words with Scotland manager Alex MacLeish, who appeared to swear live on television at the weekend, but in fairness he did seem as though he was pissed. With a number of withdrawals from the summer jolly to south america already, perhaps the players don;t want to be around him either.

It wasn’t a good idea to bring in someone who was clearly unemployable when vacancy was there, and it may be that his outburst on television is a clue as to why he’s been out of work so long.

Still at least the BBC and the SFA can be relied on to provide employment for those who may have a few unforeseen expenses coming up…which of course means they are unlikely to give any coverage to any issues or the causes of those issues down Hampden way.

 

Meanwhile, as the summer sales begin, so does the campaign to sell off Celtic players.

Pat Nevin, the pen twiddling plant pot at the BBC announced grandly that Manchester United could be in for Keiran Tierney, despite the Celtic idol repeatedly pointing out he doesn’t give a toss who comes in for him.

At the moment, one of the best left backs around, I think we’ll all agree, is Andrew Robertson,” 

“He’s playing at Liverpool now with a Champions League final [looming] and he’s had an absolutely stunning season. 

“But he’s the second best left back in Scotland.

“Manchester United might think about looking up and trying to get the best left back in Scotland.

“Celtic fans won’t thank me for it but there is a better one up there and he would walk into any Premier League team.

“And it’s Kieran Tierney.” 

Image result for yawn gif

He’s 4/6 with Betfred to make the move south, which means if you put fifty quid on it, then you’re a fucking idiot who just lost fifty quid.

Jozo Simunovic says he wants to stay at Celtic and fight for his place..he made a rare appearance as a substitute on Saturday..

It was a nice feeling and the most important thing was that we won and got the treble again so I’m very proud,” 

“The second half of the season was frustrating but by the end it was okay. I’ve been ready to play all the time and it’s just been down to the decision of the manager.

“Of course I wanted to show my best in training but it’s the manager’s decision and the thing is in the end we won the treble.” 

“He explained it to me and I’m still very happy here,” 

“I cannot tell you what he said – that must remain personal – but it was a very good conversation. He speaks with every player so it was nothing strange that he spoke to me.

“It’s a challenge for me to get back in the team.

“I’m looking forward to next season to working hard and trying to get back in.” 

He’ll have a chance with Dedryck Boyata making it into the Belgian world cup squad, and it is unlikely anyone will be allowed to leave before the qualifiers are complete. So, yeah, he might come back into the team, but I wouldn’t bet on him being around for too much longer.

The Sun claims that Celtic have until May 31 to cough up £10m for Oddsone Edoaurd, which just goes to confirm that the Sun is full of doo doo.

It’s much less than that, but does include add ons.

 

After the shameful treatment of Michael O’Halloran who went to watch the club where his dad works at the weekend, another albeit former  “rangers ” player, Steven Whittaker, took his lad to see Celtic, and once more they turned on one of their own..

Kyle Rutherford@kylerutherford2

Fucking despised Whittaker when he played for us never mind now😂

All of which should lead any incoming player to question whether or not he’d be happy off the field should he sign on at ibrox for the remaining few months of this particular version of the club. One would think that their agents would complete due diligence before recommending any move…

 

There are whispers that all is not well at Ibrox, as our chap over there says there is talk of a wee bit of a scandal, the kind of scandal involving people doing things to people they shouldn’t be doing whilst not wearing any clothes…

But, as with all things eminating from that place, I’d take it with a pinch of salt.

 

Speaking of taking things…

Not to worry, chief loyalist fundraisers The Evening Times are no doubt on the case as we speak..

Here’s hoping he cleans out the Augean Stables and that someone is held accountable for the skullduggery regarding the granting of Sevco a European license and all the other bollocks. Personally, i can’t see it.

Charlie – as a condition of entering the league with a new team, someone had the presence of mind to tag them with any penalties from wrong doing by the old club. It is clear that they told them that the “new” club will be liable for any footballing discipline measure brought against the “Old’ club. Thus the SFA and five way agreement recognizes the that clubs are different and there is no continuity.

The secret 5 way agreement, A “Predetermined Outcome” A document appeared on the internet looking suspiciously like the draft agreement of a deal between the SFA and “Big Hands” Charles Green over the EBT cheating. The 15 page document containing all the statements that reveal the full extent of the “COVER UP” from the SFA and the SPL to assist “Rangers” and Sevco. The document discusses the loss of titles, Scottish and League cups awarded to “Rangers” during the 2000-2001 period when they were being investigated by HMRC.
The secret 5 way agreement between The SFA, The SPL, The SFL, The “Rangers” F.C. (in Administration) and Sevco Scotland Ltd. This document and its dirty little secrets epitimises all that is wrong with Scottish football, the collaboration between footballs governing bodies and THEM designed for the benefit of only one club. We all are aware that the LNS enquiry could not reach a successful conclusion because all the REAL facts and documents were not produced, for him to apply the correct decision.
Until this secretive document is revealed and reviled the game will never be cleansed. Ralph is absolutely correct, Hail Hail Ralphy, never give up on your search for truth and justice, always shine your searchlight in the dirty underbelly of the governess of Scottish football.

Weered, There was 6 drafts of the 5 way agreement, draft 6 was the final draft. It was drafted after Charles Green bought the basket of assets/ ashes of the auld “Rangers”. This latest draft was created to pursue the survival myth, it led to the remit to LNS enquiry being greatly reduced with a “no stripping the titles guarantee” and a paltry fine being imposed on the huns, which they refused to pay. Sevco 5088 which signed the first five drafts and suddenly “morphed into Sevco Scotland ltd. That is when we think that Green suckered Whyte. What happened to Sevco 5088, nobody knows, but you just look at all the players in this rigmarole and you find.. dishonesty. Nobody that I know has seen draft 6 the final and conclusive draft, but its not difficult to make out bits of it. ALL sport should be open and honest and this agreement was the polar opposite. There was a cosy relationship between one club and the governing bodies in fact the huns had a major say in running it. Ogilvy, Dickson and others as well as Green, then add Regan, Doncaster and others into the short con, the secretive 5 way agreement, draft 6 the eponymous draft.

CharlieS/Mike and all, at the end of the day, the indisputable fact remains that our club has failed to look after itself (financial loss due to huns/SFA colluding for the EUFA Licence) and our fans losing out on CL involvement; Peter Lawwell could have and should have gone straight for the jugular from day one. I’ve no idea if Peter Lawwell also colluded in all of this and THAT’S why Celtic PLC did nothing.
Fraud, and it most fefinitely was fraud has no time bar under EUFA rules and we should go for closure and Truth here and bury all the shite and have the cheating titles stripped.
So I suggest a collective movement to force Peter Lawwell to act is the ONLY way to get the correct outcome.
As a side-note there was NO ‘football club’ admitted to SFL 3 in 2012 it was a newly-formed off the shelf company, as was ***Sevco 5088 Ltd, and it was this company that had the right as ‘preferred bidder’ to buy the old huns assets. In even more corruption you had the Charles Green switcheroo to Sevco Scotland Limited which company was given some cooked-up licence to play Brechin on 29th July 2012. (5-way agreement of 27th July 2012)
Sevco Scotland Limited played Brechin, not ANY ‘rangers’. Sevco Scotland Limited changed its name to The Rangers Football Club Limited on 31st July 2012.
To be perfectly frank I’m fucking sick of ALL of this but this is what cheats play on; cheat, obfuscate, lie repeat. When you’ve got the whole fucking SMSM on your side cheating becomes easy.
So I’ll repeat here now; Celtic FC via its CEO can bring out the whole Truth. ANY TIME IT WANTS TO, but I don’t believe this will happen. And hence I don’t trust my own club.
HH Celtic FC. Go to hell the PLC.
If any of what I’ve written here is incorrect or untrue I will be happy to correct it when proven to me.
Other than any ‘typos’, there WONT be.

And on top of that, when it all comes down, the so-called journalists that aren’t bothered with the actual story will be first in line to write the “Lawwell and Desmond failed Celtic: Here’s how” stories.

We know they snuffed it, they know they snuffed it, everyone knows they snuffed it. Due to the extremities of footballing rivalry in Glasgow, the gullible emotives will hang on to whatever’s left and keep claiming they’re the same club and all the other shite they spout. The press, footballing authorities etc are simply cowards who’ve went back on the truth regarding their demise for reasons only they can explain. They all talk one load of fucking shite and we should just ignore the clowns on the same club myth. Again it’s all about money, ego’s and reputations, though I might add that every single person involved in the charade doesn’t have any standing, their respective reputations have now been consigned to the dustbin of history much like RFC.

Speaking of those who said they died, I saw Donald Findlay at Debenhams in Glasgow earlier walking about blowing his pipe. I was tempted to ask him about his thoughts on our double treble but couldn’t as I was with someone I deal with in a professional capacity.

There is no change at the SFA, Maxwell is a continuation of the old order. The so called establishment and the brain washed vermin cannot accept a change in the natural order, look at the crap about O’Hallaran and now Whittaker taking his son to Paradise.
The media are as brainwashed allowing McCulloch to talk his crap, meanwhile ignoring the ongoing Sevco saga.
What has happened since BR has arrived has to continue, with a third treble and ten in a row, that will begin to bury the biggest turd in the land Ibrokes.

Thinking of the future, I read on another blog that Mikey Johnston was not signed up beyond this season. Checking out transfermarkt.co.uk he seems to have a contract until 2020. I hope this is accurate. He is very much a player in the “Celtic mould.” Fast tricky and a delight to watch.

I remember when Deila arrived he asked where were the wingers. We have an abundance of them now, even after losing Roberts.

Hi Monti, I don’t know what God’s will is, but I think him/her/it could show up for work occasionally and sort out famine, oppression and child murder for starters. Plenty to be gettin on with.
My puny will is that we improve our squad. Here is our squad as the season begins.
Gordon/Bain
Lustig/Ralston
Ajer/Simunovic
Boyata/Compper
Tierney/Miller
Brown/Kouassi/Scott Allan
Ntcham/Armstrong
Forrest/Morgan/Benyu
Rogic/Christie
McGregor/Sinclair/Hayes/Mikey Johnston
Dembele/Griffiths/Edouard
I’ve maybe left off or forgotten a few.
I think we have enough good wingers.
We need to look at our back 4/back 3
Do we still need another forward if Dembele stays and Edouard signs?
I feel our squad is stronger this year than last despite our domestic shortcomings.
Where do we need to improve?
Where are the players who will give us our improvement?
Would John McGinn get a game with us if he became a Celt?
Who can go? Allan. Gamboa. Ciftci.

Devoy,

You missed out Hendry and I can understand why! We need to stop buying players like Hayes and Hendry. I appreciate we need honest muckers in the squad but bringing in players like Hayes makes no sense, although I would like to be proven wrong in his case.

Who we need depends upon who goes out. If Armstrong, Dembele, Boyata go, then these are the positions we need to strengthen. This season we saw that three strikers may not be enough, as we had to shelter our one fit striker before the cup final. Could MacLean play as a target man?

I suspect West Ham will go after Roberts which is a pity. Inhad hoped that he would go out on loan for one more year and then we could afford him as he would have just one year left on his contract.

Hes been unlucky hes been moved to right back, i think we will see the best of him in the coming seasons as centre back.Maybe a loan period will be the making of him like Ajer had at killie.

Jimmy,

Good thought! For me he has two major faults. Poor positioning both as CB and RB, but mainly the latter. Secondly, he makes bad decisions on passing the ball, putting players in difficult situations. Not sure these can be ironed out but I hope so.

I am trying to learn the lesson of not making snap judgements on players who are young..failing, perhaps.

I have no doubt that Brendan will be fuming that Stephan Gerrard is the next manager of THEMS, especially with all the guff that is coming out of Gerrard’s mouth, what better motivation does Rodgers need than an untried football manager spouting the guff about “You’ve had it too easy for too long”. It didn’t take Gerrard long to start with the verbal’s and we all know that, that particular club likes to talk big, trying to hold on too Celtic’s coat tails.
Brendan has “seen off” a few hun managers and Gerrard will be the next one and the ones after him.
Treble Treble has a nice ring to it, but another entry to the C.L. is a priority for me, the pot of gold to Celtic means a lot, new investment in the playing squad as we continue to reinforce the dominance of Scottish football and is another stake into the cheats
heart, cos “they are worth it”. £3 mill.pounds for winning the league, ten times that for C.L. entry, cos ” We are worth it”.
