Pacific Quay Musings?

[Uilleam 5,443]

But the peddling of the myth continues:

 

From a blow job on Desmond by Neil Cameron in today's Gherald -

 

"When you’ve pumped so much money into a business, including the £6m he reportedly spent on the training ground, you get to have a say in the big stuff."

 

So, he remains a benefactor, then. It was news to me that he had 'funded' the training ground to the tune of £6M.

 

It always absolutely amazes me how Desmond can just 'get the cheque book out' and fund sellik, a PLC, without the monies touching the sides. Are these subventions loans, gifts, charitable contributions (ha, ha)? Are there any tax implications?  Are the contributions reckoned within FFP calculations? Are they secured against anything? Or is it all off the balance sheet financial doping?

The media tend to be lazy and not pay much attention to detail on such matters, whether it be Celtic or Rangers.

 

The difference being in many cases, the almost automated slant.

Let's see if we can put Tom on to his back foot?

 

At the weekend, a garrulous Tom arrived back at PQ. He had been on the Emerald Isle for a period cheering on his home town/county, Limerick in the All Ireland Hurling final. He exuded tremendous good cheer, gregariously telling all of Limerick's first victory in forty-five years. Now, Tom's moral compass is always functioning; he knows the difference amid Polar North, True North, and Magnetic North; he would not plot a course trailing Sean South, would he?

 

After the game, the presentation, and celebratory trip around Croke Park; Limerick retired to the dressing room, gathered together, and sang a homage to another Limerick lad, Sean South. We know because they filmed it in full technicolour. Sean South is an interesting choice, he lead an IRA active service unit/flying column on New Year's Day 1957, across the border to Brookeborough, County Fermanagh. Fourteen armed men attacked a RUC station, killing a young RC RUC Constable, John Scalley. Subsequently, both Sean South and Fergal O'Hanlon died of wounds sustained. The song, 'Sean South of Garryowen' was penned and published within a week of South's death.

 

Of course, the sensitivities of John Scalley's surviving relatives are ignored. However, why does South receive such lionisation in the immediate wake of of a sporting victory? Sean South founded the Limerick branch of the 'Maria Duce', an anti-trade union, anti-communist, and anti-semitic organisation. Further, he was a member of the Fascist party, 'Aitiri na hAiseirghe'. Maybe Tom, can provide local Limerick colour and explain such triumphalism?

 

Sean South sounds like a former day Phil McFournames; maybe we should construct a worthy 'limerick' celebrating Tom, Phil, and Sean?

Fantastic insight as always 26th ?. The question is will Tom be challenged regarding this and his motives in glorifying their behaviour?

[JFK-1 1,675]

Somebody send them this, can they clearly see this ball? Or are they still undecided?

I think it was McCann's third share issue of the four, that was Preferential Shares?

 

It brought in the real dosh, the heavy hitters waded in because it was by their perception, a Klondyke. These shares pay a Dividend every year, it's lucrative. When MON left the club, due to his wife's ongoing 'illness', he was the recipient of a tranche of said shares. It's a nice pension, MON receiving monies in perpetuity.   

Thought the bunnet had their first two shares issues when he mostly sold the gullible yahoo hordes non-voting shares?

 

And Desmond(after said bunnet departed with his £45m) then held a further two shares issues for preferential shares for his mates ?

 

Maybe BBC PQ will advise. Surely even the daftest yahoo can now see they’re being fleeced?

[the gunslinger 3,366]

Certainly the yahoos who bought in the first round got preferential shares.

Every year they are asked to take dividends in shares not cash.

Desmond of course prefers cash.

Yep, and maybe that ball isn't brightly colored enough?

[D'Artagnan 173]

I see Celtic Tom has chosen to mention Kyle's previous gambling problems in his latest BBC article, despite getting something of a roasting on Twitter the other day from Frankie, myself & many others for his denial of BBC bias.
