To many teams as it stands the last thing we need is more ,let's face it apart from the old firm in Scotland the rest are only making up the numbers no more dandy Don's or tannadice terrors or a challenge from Edinburgh so the field is the Glasgow two and also rans .

looking like the deal to bring Rafa to Goodison is almost home and dry , of course you will get some silly Billy's voicing their discontent because of his Anfield connection but a winning team will soon have them onside. 

England's turn this tea time to take on the jerries the bookies are giving you 6/4 England, 7/4 Germany and 11/5 for a draw, the later match is more interesting with Sweden at 11/8 and the Ukrainian's at a handsome 2/1 with the same 2/1 for the draw. 

How does this sound ,there are not enough if any good European nations to have a decent tournament I personally think the standard of all teams so far has been very poor  .

According to the news we sold plenty of the new shirts yesterday nice to see money coming into the club with none of the parasites getting a cut .

mon the tallys 

The red change shirt of the 60s was a very smart top

Lots of debate as per usual,  I too have reservations in respect of the crest colour and deviation from traditional in that respect. 

Just wondering though, how many of those who are critical have any intention to purchase one?

I'm too old and grotesque to wear a top but have still bought the 55 and 150 versions. We were all appalled at previous retail deals, we now have a beneficial contract least we can do is support it.

I personally dont think much of it but the grandchildren will be getting kitted out in full strips home away any any other we Put on sale ,it will be money well spent to see their happy faces 

Wales 2 Denmark 1

Italy 2 Austria 0

Holland 2 Czech Republic 1

Belgium 2 Portugal 1

Croatia 1 Spain 1

France 3 Switzerland 0

England 1 Germany 2

Sweden 1 Ukraine 2

Excellent 

Holy fuck  axe will have to be weilded 

Croatia slight favourites at 13/10

Scotland 9/5, but a handsome 11/4 for a draw 

Couldn't give a toss what they wear I am more interested in the men wearing the shirt to see if they can play decent football

Does anyone understand why 2 England players are having to isolate because of close contact with Billy Gilmour but not any of the Scotland squad? Everything about Covid is rapidly turning into a ludicrous joke.

In classrooms if one child gets the virus then the whole class goes into isolation,  are Scotland knowingly taking a risk here putting a result first 

Crap a school child could design better

The professional negligence cavalcade continues, and it is 'negligence' that BDO pursues here. 

The assertion is that BDO did not maximise the return to creditors, and that it should have raised much more than the £5.5M which, if memory serves, was the final selling price. 

Yet, when we consider that D&P were Whyte's Administrators of choice, Green's boast that he knew he would get to buy the Company and assets, etc, out of administration, Green's other boast that he had 'shafted' Whyte (via the Sevco (Scotland) manoevre, i i r c), and that £5.5M was by all measures, and accounts,  'light', then we might, naively, and without prejudice, come to think that there was more than mere negligence involved.

 

We are all reasonably conversant with 'Constructive Dismissal'; is there such a thing, in the world of Insolvency,  as 'Constructive Negligence'?

 

 

Whitehouse and Clark made Rangers ‘nearly unbuyable’, court told

A pair of financial experts made Rangers “nearly unbuyable” during their attempts to save the club from ruin, a judge has been told.

Kenny McBrearty QC claimed at the Court of Session that “negligence” was a common theme of attempts made by David Whitehouse and Paul Clark to rescue the football club.

He told Lord Tyre that the two men were incompetent after their appointment as administrators at Ibrox in 2012 and asked for a ruling in favour of his client, BDO, the club liquidators. The financial services company is seeking £56.8 million in compensation from Whitehouse and Clark.

 

The two men, who worked for the financial consultants Duff & Phelps, were given the responsibility of saving the club after it landed in financial trouble. McBrearty said that they had failed to give proper consideration to making players redundant, selling stars to other clubs, and ensuring that the club’s wage bill was reduced.

He referenced evidence given to the court by Simon Shipperlee, a colleague of Whitehouse and Clark, and emails presented to the court, which he said showed that the two men did not follow correct procedures.

He added: “What we have said is that a common hallmark of negligence is a failure to take specialist advice from people experienced in the business of the company.”

He said that there was a “failure to take advice about selling players outside of the transfer window, we have an alleged failure to take advice in relation to brand, we have an alleged failure to take advice in relation to take advice in relation to the disposal of the heritable property. So it is a theme that runs through in the case as a whole.”

McBrearty said that the back-and-forth decision to reduce wages or make redundancies was a “chaotic process”.

BDO believes that Whitehouse and Clark did not cut costs sufficiently well enough after they were drafted into the then ailing club. Lawyers for the company claim that the pair could have raised more money for the club by selling on players and selling club assets such as Ibrox and Murray Park.

Whitehouse and Clark, who deny allegations of negligence and are contesting the claim, were appointed as administrators after HM Revenue & Customs took Rangers to court for £18 million of unpaid tax in February 2012. They sold the business and assets to a consortium led by the businessman Charles Green for £5.5 million before BDO were appointed to liquidate the company.

 

The three men were among seven indicted over fraud allegations relating to Rangers; the case against them was dropped in June 2016. Whitehouse and Clark raised a multimillion-pound action against the police and prosecutors last year. Prosecutors admitted the case against the duo was “malicious” and conducted “without probable cause”. They both received multimillion-pound settlements.

Prosecutors admitted that Green, who was arrested during the investigation and eventually acquitted, was wrongfully taken to court and that the prosecution against him was malicious.

 

Yesterday McBrearty said that Whitehouse and Clark should have sold players but refrained because it would have made the club less attractive to prospective buyers.

He added: “The irony of it is this — the day to day is that they are retaining the fabric of the club to make it more attractive for bidders, and we have had direct evidence from one of the bidders that it made it more unattractive.”

The hearing continues.

I think if the players were sold off we might be seeing an Asda or some other business on the site that was Ibrox 

Never watched the match I gather they played well , had £50 on England to win 3_1 old fool.

Forgot about him. Cracking good fullback with a bit of speed.

 

That’s good company you were in, compo. You did well to get near them to hack them down.

They were lucky I was in their teams

One more goal Ukraine then you can take a breather
