RANGERRAB 3,742 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 makes me wonder who is paying for all the improvements at celtic park The question should be who isn't paying a single penny for these improvements but is getting State Aid to do so. Let's hope the EC investigates this and finds this vile club guilty and they are forced to cough up as they should. As for the CG when have you ever heard of an opening ceremony not held at the main athletics arena(which is Hampden) ? Was that why they are holding it at the SanGiro to give them an excuse to spend all this money on the surrounding area? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,761 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Glasgow City Council’s corrupt misuse of old District Valuer valuations and the RPI on land valuations Posted by footballtaxhavens ⋅ June 12, 2014 One major piece of information that came out of the the West of Scotland Housing Association (WSHA) land debacle is that valuations by the District Valuer (DV) are only valid for 6 months. See the last sentence in the paragraph from the WSHA minutes: DV valuations expire after 6 months Some of the DV valuations accepted by the GCC for the sale of land to Celtic PLC were years old. In the case of the London Road Primary School (LRPS) the valuation was 7 years old (see previous post). The original price of £300,000 was set by the GCC at a council meeting in January 2007 although they claim the option was written in 2009. So the GCC, when LRPS was eventually settled, after their 3 year option was accepted 7 years after in January 2014 added an increment for the 3 YEARS. And what did the GCC use? The RPI, the Retail Price Index. So as well as not getting an up-to-date valuation 2014 valuation the GCC used a 2007 valuation. Seven years old. Land valuations move massively depending on the economic cycle. Hence the time limit on the DV valuations. Plus the GCC used a RETAIL Price Index that tracks the increase in costs of everyday items like milk. There is no relationship between LAND and the RPI. Do any of the GCC Planning or DRS depts live in the real world? Do they know how to do valuations? How does the DV like their ages old valuations being misused corruptly? We don’t need to be blocked with our FoIs. It is plainly obvious that the GCC is corrupt and can be seen in plain sight. Do they really think the Glasgow ratepayers are stupid like the Scottish mainstream media? Harry Markopolis, the securities analyst took 10 years to get through to the US SEC that Bernie Madoff was a crook. So sometimes it takes time because the authorities, whether EU, UEFA, UK or Scottish don’t want to admit that this corruption happened on their watch. However the end did come for Mr Madoff and it will for the GCC personnel too. None of the persons digging are going away. http://footballtaxhavens.wordpress.com/2014/06/12/glasgow-city-councils-corrupt-misuse-of-old-district-valuer-valuations-and-the-rpi-on-land-valuations/ https://twitter.com/search?q=pzj_1&src=tyah Edited June 14, 2014 by ian1964 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,761 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Why do EDC and John Dempsey hide his involvement in The Lennoxtown Initiative? Posted by footballtaxhavens ⋅ July 16, 2014 ⋅ Leave a comment Filed Under East Dunbartonshire, Lennoxtown Initiative, Scottish Enterprise Dunbartonshire Normally you cannot get a councillor to shut up about how much work he does for his community so why does East Dunbartonshire councillor John Dempsey hide his time on The Lennoxtown Initiative?

Not that that has anything to do with football, just a personal rant from a concerned local resident! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,761 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Lennoxtown Initiative recycled what Celtic paid for Lennoxtown back to them, most in the same year. Plus a bonus. In a previous post I discussed the Celtic Service Level Agreement (CSA) and postulated that The Lennoxtown Initiative charity appeared to be a vehicle for recycling the funds obtained by the NHS GGC for the sale of the Upper Site of the Lennox Castle Hospital grounds. Well it’s true. Celtic got it’s sale money for Lennoxtown of £493,000 back in less than 2 years. Plus another £391,167. All this over the 9 years of the Celtic SLA which started the same year as the Lennoxtown sale. This was an even better deal than Celtic’s Co-operative Bank low interest rate loan & overdraft. So in fact Celtic got Lennoxtown for nothing plus the bonus. Where is the evidence? Well it’s in The Lennoxtown Initiative accounts from 2006/2007 onwards because the Celtic SLA started that financial year in 2006 and the Celtic SLA was for NINE years. Funds were coming in from the 3 founding public bodies and going to Celtic all under the cover of a charity. More than half the funds that ran through The Lennoxtown Initiative went to Celtic during that period. Remember this was a charity [didn't pay tax] and it looks like it’s more than charitable to Celtic. Celtic claim they were set-up as a charity too so The Lennoxtown Initiative and Celtic have a lot in common. What were the 3 public bodies doing funding a SLA with Celtic and hiding the fact behind a charity? There doesn’t appear to have been a tender performed in an open and transparent manner to allow other football teams in Scotland or across Europe to bid for the project. This is something for the UK government, Scottish Government and Audit Scotland. What do the advocates of Sporting Integrity say? Wasn’t Peter Lawwell and Eric Riley plus the usual suspects earlier this year trying to their hands of SFA grassroot football funds? Reminds you of the ‘Fat Bhoys’ – ‘Can we have some more from the Sporting Integrity fund?’.

barca72 440 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Surely to God now, the EU Commission must find that they have had an unfair advantage from these land deals. How can you be a charity and at the same time list Lennoxtown as an asset of the football club? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
