Frankie 8,150 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) More soon apparently... Dear Sir, I refer to your mail concerning the granting of alleged State aid to the Celtic Glasgow Football Club. You allege that the Celtic Glasgow Football Club has benefitted from unlawful State aid, mainly in the form of advantageous land transfers. The Commission has raised the issue with the UK authorities. Based on the observations received from them, the services of the Commission have not been able to identify any issue regarding unlawful State aid. In light of that assessment the Commission services do not envisage to pursue the matter further. Best Regards, State Aid Registry European Commission DG Competition MADOU Office 12/59 B-1049 Brussels/Belgium Tel: +32 2 29 61154 Fax: +32 2 29 61242 E-mail: Stateaidgreffe@ec.europa.eu Competition website: http://ec.europa.eu/competition Edited November 13, 2014 by Frankie 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Cooper 0 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Are Westminster investigating them? You do know Celtic have the largest supporters club in the Houses of Parliament? The club is untouchable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,245 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 What is and remains vital: the facts and "allegations" need to be written down in an understandable manner and supported by facts and sources. What you more often then not get are excerpts on fanboards littered with all sorts of fanciful names for the culprits and some facts mixed with assumptions and conjecture. And it is hard for those who have no real insight to part fact from fiction and thus make a complaint at the relevant sources. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a blog which did exactly that - no name-calling, documented proof, sticking to the facts in as unbiased fashion as possible - so this did actually happen. Cant remember the blog but perhaps someone else can point us to it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
