We should have seen it coming, Green and White was never going to be a good combination.... sorry!

Did I not read somewhere (possibly here) that he's resigned his position at Newcastle, would this have an impact?

Bring us up on charges of appointing a competent manager? Most likely! Oh well, at least it's something we can hopefully plead guilty to for a change!

Any sign of the press conference yet? feed from BBC doesn't seem to have started, am I missing it?

Perhaps Cathro, as a young inexperienced manager, working under Walter for a couple of years before he's been moulded to the point he can step up to the top job? "I'm gonna need a bigger spoon!!"

Holy crap!

Frankie, so basically, we paid £20k in costs to turn up and confirm that we don't intend to breach confidentiality and then be told we can't breach confidentiality? And it took 5 SD chaps to do this?

Naive idea, potentially, and I'm sure someone will tell me why it would have been a bad idea, but as much of this game is PR would it not have been a good result for RIFC to turn up to the court hearing (their 1 representative against SDs 5) and simply say "yeah, we know what's in the contract and wont say anything we shouldn't" the fact that SD took it to court shows the public they're worried that there may be something that could be said, but also makes a mockery of SD for bringing the case in the first place? This stuff will surely leak out eventually, it just needs the right people to get hold of the content. How that might happen I don't know, someone on the inside that passes it on without being traced would be the obvious option.

In essence, I could talk you into signing a contract that would allow me to punch you in the face once a day for the next year. If I actually tried to do it, I'd still be liable for prosecution.

Rule 1 - No secret about the dual interest, SFA approval for up to 10% shareholding Rule 7 - Again, no secrecy about the interest and 10% approved. Don't believe there's a fit and proper concern either Rule 21 - "Influence the management or administration" is the important bit here, and while there's historic instances, it couldn't be argued that he currently has this influence Rule 86 - Guilty Given similarities, I'd expect the same punishment as Livi, however "2. Livingston FC prevented from registering any player, either on loan or permanently, or extending the contract of any player currently registered with the club until such time as the club has resolved the ongoing breach of Disciplinary Rule 21." - I'd argue that in this instance we've resolved this breach.

Not always the case. Refer to the Unfair Contract Terms Act (1977). If the terms of a contract are deemed to be unfair they can be challenged

No club tie?

There is that. As long as we don't end up with Neil Lennon or Martin O'Neil I think the board are pretty safe whoever they go for!

Would surely depend on the new manager....

What was the reference made to Ally? Stuck at work so can't watch live, relying on you guys for updates!

Still, 85% of the 67% who voted is still 57% of shareholders who actively voted for change. This is good!

So, tomorrow's papers full of news about King's tax case and how he's not "fit and proper" to run a football club?

Great news, now let's hope the club can get back to football rather than politics!

45 minutes to go, that's a single half of football. Something tell's me it's going to drag about as much as watching half a rangers game given current quality!

Quick aside, how does this EGM requisitioning work? do you need control (or backing) of a certain percentage of shares, or can anyone request one?

Fantastic! To the interwebz!!!!

Is that tongue in cheek or is there a UK version? I recently became hooked on the US one and worried that as I'm now starting season 3 (a week after finding it!) I'm running out of episodes rather fast!!!

When can we expect an announcement, am I right in thinking it might not be until the next day? As it's a Friday would that be Saturday or Monday?

Also important to remember that kingco could come in and make 100mill available for purchases, but there's no window until the end of the season so options are limited to out of contract players anyway. What we have is what we have, whether we like it or not. Interesting thought, but the Newcastle lads are up here because of Ashley connection, I wonder if there's anything in the agreement that lets him take his toys home at will?

Even if he does, that's two directors against kingco's 3 so they can't affect anything, plus they'd only be there until the loans were repaid, I'd suspect King has plans to do that pretty quickly.
