The downfall of the house of Leggo

Go G YellowScreen · Mar 16, 2012

BLUE KNIGHTS WANT SAME AS THE GALLANT PIONEERS

THE Blue Knights are determined that Rangers will never become the personal property, play thing and fiefdom of one man again.

That there shall never again be one overbearing dictator ruling the roost at Ibrox.

That nobody can ever run up debt and leave Rangers ragged and at the mercy of a bank, the way David Murray did.

And that nobody can wreak havoc on the Ibrox club the way conman Craig Whyte did, leaving Rangers as they are today, at the mercy of their many enemies.

It has even been revealed by the Daily Record today that Whyte has tried to sneak in again by the back door and fill his pockets by aranging for some Yanks to buy Rangers.

I have already warned as to how vulnerable Rangers are right now and this latest Whyte con trick merely serves to underline that.

Rangers supporters must surely agree that never again should the Ibrox club be left so utterly defenceless and that one way to ensure that never happens is for those supporters to become involved.

That is the basis of the Blue Knights consortium bid, so carefully put together by Paul Murray and which he will present today when the Blue Knights officially attempt to buy Rangers and finally give the fans a say in how the club is run.

For the Murray blueprint will open Rangers up to everyone who supports the club.

Not just the wealthy Blue Knights.

Not just the 26,000 small shareholders.

Not just the fat cats, who sit in the most expensive seats in Ibrox.

And not even only the season tickets holders either.

For even those who can’t afford a season ticket and have to pick and choose their games , watching their team for the price of a match day ticket, are fans too and will also be included.

Paul Murray wants to give everyone a stake in Rangers. In fact, in many ways Murray and the Blue Knights have come up with a blueprint which will go some way towards returning Rangers to the club’s roots.

Back to the days of those Victorians, those Gallant Pioneers who founded Rangers and whose trials and tribulations have been so wonderfully not merely chronicled, but actually given new life, in Gary Ralston’s brilliant book, Rangers, The Gallant Pioneers. (sounds like a gay HI NRG band).

It is an alluring and attractive future which is on offer from Paul Murray and the Blue Knights. Alluring enough and attractive enough to have been endorsed by the man who has done more for Rangers than any other in the last quarter of a century, Walter Smith.

It was interesting to contrast and compare the way any link with Smith has figured in the Blue Knights plans and the high handed way Hibernian fan Brian Kennedy, who also wants to buy Rangers, has actually just used Smith's name

Smith declared for the Blue Knights after consultations and it was only then that Paul Murray announced that if the Blue Knights win the fight for the soul of Rangers, Smith will be invited to join the board.

And in a hugely popular move, the Blue Knights, Paul Murray revealed, would also ask John Greig, who sacrificed himself to help bring down conman Craig Whyte, to become a director again.

Twenty four hours later Brian Kennedy said he would ask Walter Smith to become Rangers director of football. I’ve got a shrewd guess what Smith’s reaction to that would have been.

Probably the same as it was after Andrew Ellis, during this pal of Craig Whyte’s abortive attempt to buy Rangers, said he wanted to offer Smith a similar role.

I was at the press conference when the then Rangers manager, Smith slapped Ellis down, insisting that he would have preferred to have had the job offer man-to-man, rather than as part of a media campaign.

Kennedy blundered badly with that tactic, showing he has no empathy with Rangers and with real Rangers people.

But not as badly as he blundered when he spoke about how he is in constant touch with David Murray for information, help and advice with his bid to annex Rangers.

In a direct quote, Hibernian supporter, Brian Kennedy said he has David Murray on speed dial.

OUCH!

Has nobody told him that David Murray’s name is toxic to Rangers supporters?

Is someone who has David Murray on speed dial the sort of person Rangers supporters want to own their club?

I think, not!

Especially as there are reports, as yet unconfirmed, seeping northwards about how Brian Kennedy ran Stockport County when he owned that club and how he runs rugby outfit Sale Sharks, which sound suspiciously similar to the way David Murray ran Rangers.

Especially with regard to companies owned by the owner of the club supplying services to the club.

Most Rangers supporters will howl with rage (no change there then!) at the thought of the Ibrox club going down that road again. The road of dictatorship and a tangled weave of companies, each feeding off one and another.

The problem those supporters now face is having faith in the administrators, the Duff and Phelps Two, Brian Clark and David Whitehouse, doing the right thing when it comes to handing over the keys of the Trophy Room. (?)

It is something Paul Murray appears to be keenly aware of as he has now reminded them of their responsibilites. His words are well weighed and timely.

After all, Clark and Whitehouse – sounds like a music hall trapeze act – couldn’t even get it right when it came to the legalities of putting Rangers into administration.

Then there was their furtive plan to sneak, David Grier, the man who is a partner in their firm - a pal probably - and who helped Craig Whyte con his way to buying Rangers, in to see David Murray, only for the sleekit scheme to be rumbled by the Daily Record and Daily Telegraph.

But it is those same blunderers, this same sleekit pair, Clark and Whitehouse, who have to decide between Brian Kennedy, a Hibernian supporter, (ie. possible Catholic) a guy who likes to run things like a dictator, a rough diamond and someone who has David Murray on speed dial….

And......

Some Yanks who have been called in by Craig Whyte as a last throw of his dice to make more money out of Rangers, or worse, actually get back into the Ibrox boardroom...

Or.....

Paul Murray and the Blue Knights. Bluenoses who have the support of Walter Smith. Who want to return Rangers to the fundamentals of the founders, those mystical Gallant Pioneers, in the way the club is run. Who want to give ALL supporters a stake and a say in Rangers.

It sounds, to me, like a no-brainer.

But then again, the Duff and Phelps Two, Clark and Whitehouse, have not exactly given the impression of being brain boxes.

Have they? (I don't know. What do you think David?)

..........AND.......

I am sad to learn Stevie Conroy is quitting because he believes referees are not properly protected by their Scottish Football Association bosses.

Sad, but not surprised. Far from it.

Nor am I surprised to learn from the well connected with the whistlers' world, Mark Guidi's Daily Record exclusive, that more will follow.

Willie Collum, perhaps?

That would be a shame. For, like Conroy, Willie is a top class referee, but also like Conroy, he has come in for some serious stick from Celtic, whose chief executive, Peter Lawwell is a pal of his fellow SFA director, the governing body's head honcho, Stewart Regan. (And there we have it folks, it's Celtic's fault.)

When he first reached the top level Conroy was involved in a couple of controversial decisions, one favouring Dundee United against Rangers at Ibrox and another which went Celtic's way at a crucial stage of a game against Kilmarnock at Parkhead.

But he quickly and quietly untangled himself from that mess and became a true and trusted official.

Except, perhaps, by lawyer Lunny?

Regan and Lawwell's Scottish Football Association are now on the brink of a full blown refereeing crisis.

During the WHYTE SCANDAL a number of important stories in Scottish football are being overlooked by the media. (Aye, and most of them are about Rangers.)

This is one of them and Mark Guidi is to be congratulated for detonating the bombshell.

I'll be turning my attention to at least one other over the weekend.

No names, no pack drill.

It's the fervent repetitiveness of just saying the same thing over and over and over and over again.

"If i say it enough, maybe it'll come true"

Bib Fortuna's Maw · Mar 16, 2012

Has he yet mentioned;

Double Contracts?

SFA/SPL investigations?

Sectarian Chanting at recent games (he once gave a whole column to the "**** UEFA" banner)?

European interest in punishing Rangers?

...and then there's this "Real Rangers People" ****e - Does he mean like Carroll the lottery lout who ploughed money into Rangers? He'd rather have a fat ******ed bigot than someone with money and business nous?

Conroy left because of what Leggo might call a "pro-Rangers cabal" if the shoe was on his other foot and the jizzstain has the audacity to blame Celtic?

Pie

What a complete anus Leggy is. Trotting out the same consoiracy fuelled pish day after day, I doubt he has a life outside the huns and his imaginary vendetta with Speirs. I wonder if he has any quotes in this Gallant Poineers tome hence the plug!)

You're just scared in case he uncovers the Taigy conspiracy and exposes the great papish agenda of overthrowing the queen and installing Neil Lennon as the pope!!

Keep up the good work David - at least someone has the bottle to stand up to this brand of poperyishness.

PHILMACGIOLLABHAIN, MATT McGLONE AND THE CHANNEL 4 PLOT - Exclusive

CHANNEL Four reporter Alex Thomson has been roped into an anti-Rangers campaign by Republic of Ireland based Philmacgiollabhain and rabid Celtic fan Matt McGlone.

Thomson was recruited after a McGlone move to involve the BBCâs London based Hugh Pymn, failed. McGlone got close to Pymn when the reporter covered the Celtic rebels takeover in 1994.

Philmacgiollabhain and McGlone now believe they have their man and will be able to set the agenda for, Alex Thomson the chief reporter of the left leaning Jon Snow fronted Channel Four News programme. Thomson says he wants to probe how Rangers have been run.

We all know the problems faced by the Ibrox club during the nine months conman Craig Whyte was in charge, but the clear implication from the Channel Four reporter is he has been given information stretching years back beyond that.

For Thomson has already reported that he has had a row with the Scottish Football Association over wild allegations he is believed to have made about president Campbell Ogilvie.

Ogilvie, who previously worked for Rangers, has been targeted by Philmacgiollabhain, who is on record as writing that he hopes Rangers die.

Now it seems that he wants to torpedo SFA president Ogilvie too and has recruited Channel Fourâs Alex Thomson as the useful idiot to do his dirty work.

Philmacgiollababhain has also recruited the endorsement of well known extremist Republican, Celtic fanatic, Matt McGlone. McGlone has given his backing on Twitter to Channel Fourâs Thomson and the reporterâs declared aim to target Rangers and Ogilvie.

Philmacgiollabhain has been in Twitter conversation with Alex Thomson and it is believed the two may have also spoken privately and could be planning to meet in Glasgow to plot their attack.

Alex Thomson has boldly declared that he and a Channel Four camera crew are due to touch down in Glasgow on Monday to begin filming their Philmacgiollabhain-Matt McGlone inspired hatchet job on Rangers and Ogilvie.

Philmacgiollabhain is also believed to be due to arrive in Glasgow today from his hideaway lair in Donegal. Hampden is buzzing with talk that he is due to take his place in the press seats at Sundayâs Scottish League Cup Final.

Scottish journalists heading for Hampden have already been tipped off and placed on red alert and are preparing plans to ensure they can avoid being pestered by Philmacgiollabhain as they were when they were in Dublin with Scotland.

It is also believed that Irish Republican ranter Philmacgiollabhain and McGlone may meet after the match to get their script ready for when Alex Thomson lands in Glasgow the following day.

This is just the latest in a series of disgraceful and totally unsubstantiated slurs from bitter and extremist Irish Republican and Celtic cyberspace aimed at discrediting the totally blameless Campbell Ogilvie, a completely honest man of utter integrity, who I first met more than 30 years ago.

It is to be hoped that despite the Celtic background these dreadful slurs are coming from, Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell, who sits around the SFA boardroom table with Ogilvie, declares himself as totally divorced from this low and dishonest campaign.

Lawwell should also declare, without ambiguity, that he knows Campbell Ogilvie and knows him to be a decent, honest and honourable man. As everyone who knows Ogilvie knows him to be.

It should also be made clear by Lawwellâs SFA boardroom pal, SFA chief executive, Stewart Regan, that he too knows Campbell Ogilvie to be beyond such suspicion and above reproach.

Regan has said so much already, but it would be well for him to keep saying it. Keep shouting it from the rooftops.

In fact, the pair, Lawwell and Regan, who work in tandem behind the scenes, should come out as a public double act to effectively shoot down this Philmacgiollabhain-Matt McGlone inspired Channel Four hatchet job.

Campbell Ogilvie is of course more than capable of defending his own honour and integrity with intelligence and sober, sound argument and I can confidently predict that he will do so by putting his cards on the table in the Sunday newspapersâ¦.

Spiking the guns of extremist pair, Philmacgiollabhain and Matt McGlone, along with their specially recruited useful idiot, left leaning Channel Four Newsâ Alex Thomson.

â¦â¦..
ANDâ¦â¦

HAVING already mentioned Scottish Football Association board member and Celtic chief executive, Peter Lawwell in one context, here is he popping up in another.

And having manager Neil Lennon do his dirty work for him.

Celtic have banned the Daily Record after a row over the paperâs story about Celtic refusing to pay up front for their tickets for next weekendâs Old Firm game at Ibrox.

Lawwell vehemently denies entering into any such a gentlemanâs agreement. Well, he would, wouldnât he?

Think about it!

The Record, just as confidently, have declared they are sure of their ground and certain they have the proof to confirm their story, as they would have to should Lawwell decide to sue.

So just why, instead of a ban on the Daily Record, does Peter Lawwell not settle the matter in the Court of Session?

Your guess is as good as mine.

.........FINALLY......

ARE you looking forward to another - ANOTHER? - penetrating, incisive, well written and well informed column from Odious Creep in tomorrow's fast fading Sunday Herald?

With bated breath?

No, me neither!

20:00 - Get local delivery of Kerry oot
