Dick JJ drops to an all low level


Recommended Posts

In other ‘news’ Keith Jackson would have us believe that the SFA are lining up Walter Smith for a return to the helm of the National Squad. Mr Smith who will be 70 on the 24th February will barely be aware of this milestone as he is suffering from dementia. If the SFA are engaged in this wild goose chase does anyone need any further proof that they should be disbanded?

Honesty and integrity would've come in handy at the Piggery when they re-employed Jim Torbett.

Maybe when they get back from the tour of Japan honesty and integrity can make a re-appearance :thup:

There's an article in the Scotsman (citing the Scottish Sun)  about Robertson laughging off administration.

Rangers chief Stewart Robertson blasts ‘nonsense’ administration talk

 

David Gunn

Published: 09:32 Tuesday 06 February 2018

 

Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson insists the club’s refusal of an £7.5million bid for Alfredo Morelos proves they are not on the brink of financial meltdown.

The Ibrox side fought off an advance from Chinese Super League side Beijing Renhe in the days leading up to the end of the January window.

Their refusal to let Morelos go for such a large fee, in Robertson’s words, “raised a few eyebrows”. Particularly because there were rumours of Rangers once again being on the verge of administration in January.

However, Robertson is adamant the club is on sound financial footing and says they didn’t wish to sell their leading goalscorer because progress is being made on the park.

He told the Scottish Sun: “There were all the rumours in January that the club was going into administration and it was nonsense. The investor base is there. We have fantastic financial support. A decent example of that came with the Morelos bids being rejected.

“Some folk raised eyebrows at that, but that’s a sign that we’re trying to grow something and take the club forward. We want to compete year on year at the top of the game again.

“We’re not saying we won’t sell him eventually because we do recognise recycling players in the player-trading model is a key part of the business plan going forward. But we’ll do that when it’s on our terms rather than on the terms of a potential buyer.”

Now, if you are in for a late night laugh, check the link and read some of the comments from the Hooped Hordes. Their knowledge about our finances and all is superb. BTW, it makes you wonder what is allowed on the comment section of this "respectable" newspaper.

A FORMER chairman of Celtic Boys Club has appeared in court charged with historic sex offences against school pupils during his stint as a primary teacher.

He was suspended from his job following the revelations and he was warned to stay away from the school after his arrest on February 15 last year.

King appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court today to face charges spanning from August 1, 1983, to June 30, 1989, at the Glasgow school.

 
 

It’s claimed King, from Springburn, is also facing a seventh charge of taking or making indecent images of children between January 1987 and December 1988.

He pleaded not guilty and was allowed to continue on bail ahead of a pre-trial hearing next month.
