Are Scottish club not meant to demonstrate that they can remain trading for the coming season, at the start? Lost count of how many times they've sent the begging plate around now.

I'd hate to see a convicted tax cheat swindle them this time round. Fair play to Mr Easedale this morning, propping up the club with a loan of £500,000. If it weren't for him and Mike Ashley the club would be in awful trouble.

I don't know what the story is with the Easdale buck, I'd love to know what conditions are attached to his loan and if he now has claims on certain assets.In my own unqualified/uninformed and completely speculative opinion the whole thing is a scramble for claims on the physical assets.

The man luckily for us had been told he cannot increase his stake in the club as for the Easdales well know gangsters from Greenock very few want them at the club and hopefully Park and co will oust them. This carry on with HMRC is a case in point HMRC won't talk about any company who has up to date taxes but The rat Irvine tried to make Easdale loaned the money to pay taxes no he didn't the board are a barel of crooks and have to be cleaned out.

It seems to me, one way or another, we are finally entering the endgame. The 3 Bears & King's plans don't seem entirely different to those scenarios at Hearts/His/Motherwell in terms of positive fan ownership aims where the other side looks like complete destruction and divvying up the corpse.

Savage Tyrant wrote: » As has been pointed out, some fans (quite a number actually) seem to believe for some reason that Ashley and his cohorts are trying to engineer an Admin 2 situation.... But how would that be in any way a financially good thing for him?
Eirebear wrote: » Murray Park? Ibrox? Who knows? Maybe it's just a case of "If i can't have it no one will", at the end of the day losing a couple of million is a drop in the ocean to Ashley who is currently owed about 50 times that by Newcastle. Again though, I find it odd how many Celtic fans are now telling us to believe in Ashley after all this.
Savage Tyrant wrote: » I'm not saying believe in him. He may well be the wolf he is suspected to be. But the suspicious nature of your fans could be clouding their collective judgement. It's certainly true that the club isn't well liked, but not EVERYBODY is an enemy trying to sink you.
Broxi_Bear_Eire wrote: » I just to look at Newcastle to know I don't trust the man. That plus Celtic fans saying we should trust him And I am sorry a tic fan lecturing Rangers fans about paranoia is hilarious
Dempsey wrote: » You're going to have a scumbag running the club no matter what i reckon. Just hope they have higher ambition than fumbling from financial crisis to another and eyeing up liquidating assets at every turn. Ashley would turn RIFC into a feeder for Newcastle, hoovering up profits for himself. King, still wonder why he didnt buy Rangers for £1 if he had sunk £20m into it. Surely he'd have an interest in saving the club at that stage...
