Is that true about the journalists, or is it the editors who wont sanction an investigation?

If you think that about English, why would you think that he is honourably disparaging the C1888c support? Remember, Adams has repeatedly told us that he has nothing to do with the I.R.A.

So embarrassing that he writes columns about it, eh? I don't think he needs you to deflect for him.

Transparency is great, eh?

http://news.stv.tv/west-central/1323549-sportscotland-will-get-murray-park-sale-cash-before-mike-ashley/ Sportscotland will get Murray Park sale cash before Mike Ashley By Grant Russell 25 June 2015 08:17 BST Sportscotland have moved to ensure they will be repaid in full first if Rangers' Murray Park training ground is ever sold off by Mike Ashley. The businessman gained security over the facility when he loaned the club £5m in January but the award of a floating charge conflicted with a previous agreement with the government body. Sportscotland, at the time known as the Scottish Sports Council, gave the Rangers oldco £650,000 towards the facility, which opened in 1999. The organisation's funding has no known repayment terms other than that it is able to recoup its money in full if Murray Park is ever sold for non-football purposes. Sportscotland also hold the right to refuse any other security being granted on the property to any other persons, meaning an agreement had to be struck with Rangers and Ashley's Sports Direct company. Documents seen by STV detail that, should the Glasgow club ever default on the terms of its £5m loan to the businessman, both parties would have the right to recoup their money through the sale of the property. The government department's interest in the building will however, according to the documents, extend only to ensuring they are paid back their £650,000 in full. Any other proceeds from the sale of Murray Park would then go to repaying Sports Direct's £5m, with Sportscotland subsequently in line to receive any other money they have loaned Rangers. The three-way document was signed by Rangers director Paul Murray on May 6, with Sportscotland chair Louise Martin signing 19 days later. Sports Direct subsequently concluded the agreement when their chief executive Dave Forsey signed on June 12, the day Rangers chairman Dave King was reportedly in London for discussions with the company over their loan to the club. Ashley, who is the founder and now executive deputy chairman of Sports Direct, is not named on the document and does not appear to have given his signature. A spokesperson for sportscotland said: "This matter merely relates to the transfer of an identical legal security for our original investment of £650,000 into Murray Park in 2001. "We were asked by the Rangers board to transfer our historical contract of award from the oldco to the newco, which we have done after the newco granted us an identical security for our investment. "We have recently registered the completion of this security at Companies House and the Land Registry, but there is no new money involved in this process. "Any return of our investment would only occur if the facility were to be sold and then used for non-sports purposes." Rangers' Ashley loan The money given to Rangers by Mike Ashley remains a point of controversy for the club, with the businessman holding security over more than their training ground. Should the board default on the £5m provided earlier this year, Sports Direct would also inherit the club's trademarks and badges, as well as its Albion Car Park and an office block at the club's stadium called Edmiston House. The deal also ensures that 75% of all revenue from the sale of Rangers merchandise, including replica shirts, goes to Ashley's firm. The only property Rangers would continue to own is its Ibrox Stadium, which was excluded from the securities awarded and is not covered by a floating charge Ashley has over the club's assets. Rangers shareholders recently voted against a resolution brought by Ashley to attempt to force the club to immediately repay his money. His loan has no fixed repayment term and is interest free. The club's chairman Dave King has previously stated the board will make the decision on when to repay the money and said he was seeking talks with Sports Direct to find a "more holistic agreement".

What he did could cause a concussion. Are you telling me 'violent conduct' is only worth a yellow?

I guess the Irish must have landed in this section, huh? https://www.facebook.com/itsanultralife/videos/963120373767598/?theater

Typical, it's always someone else's fault. You endorsed the players he signed and ratified their contracts. Absolutely no sympathy, for you or your club.

Hold it guys. The poor chap has issued a second-hand apology ... http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/neil-lennon-very-sorry-actions-7061132 Neil Lennon is 'very sorry for his actions': Bolton boss apologises in the wake of mistress allegations 11:15, 23 Dec 2015 Updated 11:55, 23 Dec 2015 By Record Sport Online LENNON'S assistant Steve Walford has revealed how Lennon regrets his actions but says he will bounce back from the allegations about his private life.

The latest is he has squirmed out from under with Bolton ... http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/neil-lennon-keeps-job-bolton-7058347 Neil Lennon keeps job at Bolton Wanderers after probe into mistress knife-threat allegations 18:04, 22 Dec 2015 Updated 19:04, 22 Dec 2015 By Keith McLeod THE woman, known as Kim, was allegedly having an affair with Lennon and revealed he told someone “could” hold a knife to her throat if she told his partner Irene. Bolton launched a probe into the 44-year-old boss after the allegations NEIL LENNON is to remain in charge at English club Bolton Wanderers after a probe into claims he threatened a woman . The Record’s sister papers the Sunday Mail and Sunday Mirror revealed claims from the woman – known as Kim – that Lennon was allegedly having an affair with . She claimed the former Celtic boss told her that someone “could” hold a knife to her throat if she revealed their affair to his partner, Irene. Kim also claimed Lennon made a report to police in England claiming he was being blackmailed. In the wake of the allegations Bolton launched a probe into the 44-year-old. Tonight the club said: “Bolton Wanderers Football Club can announce that they have now concluded an internal investigation into an article published in The Sunday Mirror on Sunday, December 20. “The club has dealt with the matter internally and acted accordingly, details of which will remain private. “Neil Lennon will remain in charge of the first team squad. “The club will be making no further comment on the matter.” The Sunday Mirror article stated that Lennon tried to ban them from publishing the article. The report adds the ex-Northern Ireland player made a blackmail allegation to police but did not want to pursue it. As things stand, Lennon will be in charge of the club’s Boxing Day Championship fixture at Rotherham. Lennon has faced pressure already because the club sits bottom of the English Championship. Bolton are £172.9 millon in debt and received a winding-up petition for about £600,000 in unpaid taxes. Takeover talks have been held with four parties but unless a deal is done, they face administration and a 12-point deduction. Bolton’s players had not been paid in November, but Lennon confirmed they would get their wages by December 29 with help from the Professional Footballers’ Association.

Rangers don't want to pay anything until the result of the fraud case, at least, is known ... http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/charles-greens-demand-rangers-pay-6821547 "Q.C. Wolffe called for Green's case to be dismissed or any decision to be postponed until the outcome of the criminal trial when the full facts of the case are known."

Those same fans who promised they would attend in droves, uh huh ... SPFL Premiership Date: 12/12/2015 Aberdeen vs Hearts - 13,110 Dun. Utd. vs Partick Th. - 6,256 Ham. Acc. vs Ross County - 2120 ICT vs Killie - 2,775 M'well vs Dundee - 3,512 Date: 13/12/2015 St. Johnstone vs Celtic - 6,418 Total for all Premier. - 34,191. Rangers vs Morton - 41,816.

This plan does not put money into Rangers immediately, rather it increases RST's share total eventually. According to Gilligan the next share issue will be in the medium to long term. Surely in the short term more direct benefit to Rangers would be the purchase of game tickets, RTVtv subscriptions and rising star tickets etc.

The game in Scotland is dying under this man's leadership. Between him and Doncaster we are stumbling on waiting for the Blue Pound to save the game. Until the fans can have an impact on how the cabal that runs the game is elected, we shall continue to regress.

Looks like they need someone to 'bring back the thunder' to Bolton !!

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-claim-knew-nothing-confidentiality-6915178 The reason King is paying the £5 Million loan is given in this article. In the Rangers' defence papers it states that before the seven year notice period can be activated the loan must first be repaid. King considers this an onerous provision. He has to pay it to be rid of SD.

I don't know if the explanation is that simple. You can correct me if I'm wrong here. As I understand this EBT scheme, the money paid to the player is a loan paid into a trust. The player may access that money at various times but he has to pay any monies used back to the trust. At the point where all of the money is used the player must pay the tax due on the entire loan, or in the case of his death his estate pays the tax due. Now, if the club is paying a player, and for illustration purposes, £100 per week and the tax due which is deducted by the company and payed to the taxman is £25 per week. So the player gets £75 per week regular pay plus has £100 per week deposited in his EBT, which he himself will have to pay the tax due at a later date. Now since the club has paid the taxes to the taxman on the regular pay when due, and has recorded the payment to the player's EBT as required, where has the club gained an advantage? The only person who has gained an advantage is the player. The club may have assisted the player by doing some administration work, the player's full earnings are payed to him one way or another, but other than that there is no tax advantage to the club. How do we know that it was indeed the club who sold the player on the EBT scheme? Isn't it the job of Investment Managers to sell these instruments to their clients? Just the same as they could have sold their clients on a movie-scheme tax avoidance instrument?

MON came out about a week ago and said Rangers should not be stripped of titles. Wonder why?

I guess you'd need to ask those who are still pushing res. 12.

Until we provide three years of accounts, as I understand it, we don't have a licence. It would appear to be important to our east end friends that we don't get one - even then. Things could get interesting if we win the SC.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-agm-2015-recap-peter-6861643 Quote from the timeline of the agm as reported by the Record. 11:47 First shareholder calls into question the governance of the club regarding Resolution 12. The fans have been cheated and I just wish the board had the fire in the belly you had a while ago while defending Livingston. 11:50 Back to Resolution 12. The shareholder wants to know why the club didn't put forward Resolution 12, which of course is about the granting of a European licence, a few years ago in the face of owing the taxman. 11:51 Peter Lawwell : We are liaising with the people who brought up resolution 12 and they are happy with what we are doing. But on the point of a lack of fire in the belly, everything we do is in the best interest of Celtic. 12:17 Back to Resolution 12 ... Hugh Clark representing the requisitioners of Resolution 12 in 2013: ' I would like to confirm the club is working with us on Resolution 12 and we are just waiting on the SFA.' Reading between the lines here, it looks like the scum fans are driving their board on - not that they need much driving - to prevent Rangers from playing in Europe if they can prove we owed the taxman and can then prove we do not deserve a licence to play in Europe. So, even if we win the premiership league next year they are already working - between parkhead pete and hampden pete - to prevent us competing in the CL. How low can this club sink to contemplate this action in the name of 'sporting integrity'? Even although there might be any debt owed to the taxman and this would be owed by the oldco, it seems imperative - in the face of apparent backroom moves by another club - that BDO appeal this latest verdict and go on to win their appeal, so that our club can escape the clutches of the leeches of the east. Build bridges, indeed !!

Expectations are high, bullsh*t is low.

What have you done Ronnie? Don't you know that they have a whole PR department that deflects this kind of stuff, and you have just put them under the spotlight? Between your mhedia work and your European games record I guess that's you gone at the end of the season. Pity, I wanted to see you crumble under Mark Warburton's challenge !!
