The full impact of voting us out the SPL has still to hit them. At the end of this season the SKY deal with either be re-negotiated or scrapped. The SPL will have to try & replace the CB as its major sponsor. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the SPL clubs will face a very significant financial shortfall as a result (except one of course. the one whose CEO bullied them into the decision to vote us out). Last week it was revealed that 153 SPL players have contracts finishing at the end of the season. Again it doesn't take a genius to work out most of these players will leave their clubs and probably need to be replaced by cheaper inferior replacements or maybe even youths. For some clubs part-time football may be the only alternative yet one of the founding principles of the Premier League when it was set up nearly 40 years ago was to preserve full time football in Scotland. Sit back & watch my fellow bears. The SPL implosion will begin soon. Who knows Daly might even want to make a documentary about it. Let's hope his research is better this time... PIP PIP as leggo would say

many people I've met from ROI cannot understand what the fuss is about regards this.The original ******s were not exclusively RC. There were protestants among them too.They were seeking Irish idependence not on the grounds of any one religion or otherwise. It's only in this country where the 'easily offended' in conjunction with the usual suspects in the media have created the sectarian industry where it seems to have caused such furore.

Funniest part was Aberdeen Asset Management writing off £5.75m loans as shares. These shares will be worthless soon you can be sure. Might as well have flushed the £5.75m down the toilet. Stuart Milne would have held the toilet seat for them I'm sure

as Souness once said all you've got to lose is your reputation when you take Scotland job. Reality is they're worst side in their WC group despite what Regan said after firing Levein.

wonder if he'll do as he usually does i.e. leave club in worse state than he inherits it.

not quite true Craig. When PLG arrived in 2006 our bank debt was 6m I understood following the share issue he underwrote. That unfortunately steadily rose after he left and got to around 30million. AJ managed to reduce to around 18million by the time Whyte arrived on the scene. Agree the 'dignified silence' didn't work. Led to out & out lies being put about which did great damage.

SDM's only crime was to sell to Whyte but as I ask again and again on here was he blackmailed into it by LBG ? if so who at LBG ? was it Fullerton & Kane or did they get some patsy to do their dirty work for them ? questions we must get answered. SDM did run up huge debts but these were repaid. EBT's we now know were legal. My only complaint about them was some of those who got them.

Can someone explain to me how these payments were undisclosed? they were in section6 of the annual accounts every year. The SPL could have chosen to query them had they so wished. They didn't. And was it not the now late Hugh Adam who it was who gave our enemies the 'dual contracts' idea which started all of this ?

No one in Scottish football can see the 2 big issues about to hit home in the months ahead for the SPHell i.e. SKY may walk away if we're not involved & the SPHell hasn't got a replacement sponsor for the CB whose contract runs out at the end of the season and no replacement has been sourced. These could provide massive financial shortfalls throughout and many clubs may only survive by getting rid off virtually their entire squads and replacing them with youths. Administration & liquidation may be the solution for those with high debts i.e. Hearts & Abergreen. Pip Pip as leggo would say...........Ah well they would listen to the likes of Liewell, Petrie & Thompson. Hell mend them I say.

just can't see us getting McGowan. Hope I'm wrong though.

These EBT's were in section6 of the accounts every year they were used. The SPL did not question this. These were in no way hidden or undisclosed. Even Grant knows this but cannot admit this due to his hatred of us

Time will tell but AJ suggested as much on STV NEWS on saturday. Was SDM forced to sell the club by LBG? if so by whom and for what reasons ? was it fullerton & kane or did they put someone up to it? MIM were around 700m in debt to the bank and Rangers debt was around 3 or 4% of that debt yet LBG seemed far more concerned about Rangers reducing debt. Why was that ? I've already made my mind up why.

I also think the arrival of a certain Dr Reid in 2008 certainly played a big part. He is/was a headline grabber unconcerned whether the issue was correct or not, merely to put the the mere thought in peoples minds. He did that throughout his time in the Blair Government and did it at Celtic too. I for one am convinced our whole saga with HMRC,LBG & Whyte was planned & orchestrated. We will, I believe, find out a great deal in 2013 who these people were. I think many of us suspect we already know them

You mean a catholic republic like ROI where the church is involved everywhere i.e. politics, schools, hospitals. you name it it's involved

and once they get in they employ from within their own ranks. It goes beyond politics into every walk of life in this country. Can't people see this?

The story isn't even half-finished. 2013 will be the year of revenge & where individuals will be brought to tasks for their actions

so long as we continue electing celtic-supporting politicians they'll walk all over us. Time to be more vigilant in who we elect

Likewise Scottish polticians (MP's & MSP's) who turn a blind eye to this

Happy Birthday Frankie. Keep up the good work

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fellow bears do not attend this fixture..... Deny this Rangers-hating club revenue at all costs.

Bad though they are HMRC are not our biggest villains. They have a duty to collect tax & were only doing their job albeit extremely unprofessionally by all accounts. What we really need to know is how Whyte got the club. Was SDM blackmailed into selling by LBG? if so by whom at LBG & for what reasons ? was it Fullerton & Kane or did they get some patsy to do it for them? Once this question is answered everything else will fall into place

Some of his tactics are baffling. Playing Temps & Jig up front when neither is an out & out striker didn't work today. I actually thought Sandaza did quite well as he moved defenders about a bit more. Thought we deserved the win in the end though.

Whose website for PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLERS is under maintenance at the moment. Nothing to do with impending TUPE cases for our deserters last summer per chance? Coincidence or what?

Other than Cammy Bell & Murray Davidson there's not much there. We need to concentrate in the areas of the team we require i.e. goalkeeper, centreback, midfield creativity & maybe a proven striker outwith the SPL. No point in simply signing players because they're out of contract. They must be better than we've already got who'll improve the team. I think the players we need won't be found in and around the SPLHell

How could an agent refuse an approach from Rangers ? is this the same individual who now works for Bridge litigation ? the mob that employs Ms Gribbon?
