Celtic Boys Club manager 'stuffed banknotes in boy's mouth'

[Uilleam 6,545]

The late Jim Farry, eh?

As far as I know, the man started as a garden labourer, and ended up i/c Scottish Fitba'. 

He learned the rule book back to front , but was often seen as failing to employ it in a reasoned, reasonable, even handed manner: a barrack room lawyer, if ever there was one. 

The fhilth, of course, rancorous to the last, hate him, still, because of some delay over the International Registration of a Portuguese player, Jorge Cadete. 

Little did they know that he had saved their bacon and cabbage by ignoring, studiously, the Parkhead pederasty ring.

I see the deadline for an out of court settlement has passed so it looks like it’s back to court for all concerned.

Settlement reached.

A seven figure payout for each of those involved is a lot of money. It's immoral that it's taken this long to settle with (some of) the victims.

All done and dusted nearly, all low-key, no admission, no apology, less than £10M, no need for any fuss, time to move on.

 

Or perhaps a big campaign in print and broadcast media to fully expose the scandal and name guilty parties responsible for the coverup. 

 

I wonder which.

I hope you’re right. I was reading the figure as an all claims total. I’ll be glad to be wrong.

My understanding is that it's individually 7 figures and the 30% still to be settled will be that too.

Could be read either way - I read it the other way this morning.
