Hahahahahaha just in case we all thought you'd been speaking to Ronald McDonald. ******* hell and he is STILL going on about mumsnet as if it's fresh news. I love how a journo that gets asked to be on almost every Scottish football and radio show, along with a myriad of articles over the past 15 years on Scottish football and the OF, is the target of Leggo's pished relentless ranting.
He's gone on one of his deleting sprees again - all blogs from 1st to 11th May last year have gone <tadger> This one remains, though
Rage, more Rage, blame apportioning (it's Lawell's fault that Whyte is Rangers' Owner) and jealously that his nemesis - Graeme Spiers - has actually got a job with a newspaper, despite Leggo telling us all no paper would touch him and more rage. All in all a pretty normal day in Leggo World.
Leggy's targets are far and wide!!! He's dropped a bollox here though, "someone serious" would never talk to this basket-case!
Tuesday, 24 May 2011 WHYTE TAKES CHARGE - Exclusive "...................But they show the way the wind is blowing" Considering how things have turned out, 'someone's' obviously been p.ssing in it.
Here is today's. Proper ****ing mental. He'll be curing cancer by this time next week, the ****wit. Saturday, 18 February 2012 SFA PROBE: IT WAS LEGGOLAND WOT DONE IT! STEWART REGAN isnât quite up to the standards of his namesake, Jack, when it comes to collaring the bad guys. The chief executive of the Scottish Football Association didnât exactly burst into Craig Whyteâs room and order: âGet your strides on chum, youâre nicked.â But if it wasnât the Sweeneyâs Regan at his best, at least it was the SFAâs Regan making a move in the right direction. His eventual calling of the former Rangers chairman to account was long overdue. And it was LeggoLand wot done it! Regan â Stewart, not Jack â has been dithering for months about whether or not Whyte is a fit and proper person to be a director of a Scottish football club. And who knows how much longer he would have sat on the fence had not been for my open letter to him, published here, yesterday? Within hours of LeggoLand hitting the ether, Reganâs Scottish Football Association decided to go even further than just declaring whether or not Whyte is a fit person to be a director. I think we all know what the verdict there will be when it is finally delivered. And we can rule out Not Proven. Regan will now set up an Independent Panel to probe beyond that and to delve into the murky goings on which surrounded the actual sale of Rangers by David Murray to Whyte at the beginning of May last year. And believe me, there is plenty for Reganâs Independent Panel to get their teeth into. Such as this, for instance. Did Whyte even have enough loose change in his pocket to actually hand over the token quid to Murray for his shares? Or did Murray have to lend him even that? Or give him even more? Not to mention the Ticketus fiasco. Whyte really does have some neck. Brass does not even begin to describe it. According to the statement he had posted on the Rangers website yesterday - approved by the administrators â he is going to take a step back. That pleased Rangers supporters, though I am sure they would have been even happier had Whyte been standing, looking landwards, on the White Cliffs of Dover when he took that step back. All we need to know now is who will sit on this Independent panel which will report to Reganâs SFA. Lawyers? MâLearned friends must surely be represented. But lawyer Lunny is an SFA employee, therefore he ainât independent. McBride QC? Why not? The even more eminent Findlay QC? Again, why not? Both? Even better. And a banker? Just so long as it isnât Mister Fred the Shred. Someone with the dignity and experience of a Gavin Masterton or Sir Angus Grosset, fits the bill Just so long as it is no one who has ever come within sniffing distance of Lloyds. So that rules out former Celtic Trust founding director and the man who said he was in charge of all business banking for Lloyds in Scotland, Manus Joseph Fullerton. Plus an accountant? Surely! One thing Regan must make sure is that when the Independent panel is appointed, it is named. Justice must be seen to be done. And at the moment, the way things are stacking up as far as circumstantial evidence is concerned, there are many doubts about whether or not the way Craig Whyte bought Rangers from David Murray, was entirely proper. Certainly funding the purchase of Rangers from Murray, with Whyte getting an advance from Ticketus on future season tickets of a company, a month before buying that company, sounds decidedly dodgy to some. Just what was David Murray thinking of? And what role did those bankers at Lloyds play? Did they force his hand at a troubled time for the Murray Group? That is the perceived wisdom of many. The SFA may not be able to do anything about Lloyds, but they can perhaps come up with a verdict to get Rangers off the hook as far as that £24.4m Whyte got from Ticketus, using £18m of it to pay off Lloyds. A verdict which would surely not please Reganâs SFA boardroom pal, Celtic chief executive, Peter Lawwell. Of whom there will be more at a later date. As for the remainder of the disappeared dough? Puff! It is as if it went up in smoke, for as far as the Rangers books are concerned, there is not a sign of it. Nearly SEVEN MILLION QUID! GONE! There are plenty more twists and turns to come in this sordid story with Craig Whyte at its centre. And do not be surprised if the name of Banstead United surfaces again, along with Aiden Early and Phil Betts, who left the Rangers board. Was he paid off? Was the cheque he trousered from Whyte somewhere in the region of £100,000? Wherever the money went, and even if the deal which saw Ticketus put £24.4m into Whyteâs client account at London lawyers Collyer Bristow, is judged unlawful, it is still going to cost Rangers to see the back of Whyte. The Ibrox clubâs cost though will be counted in sterling. The cost to the man who sold out , David Murray, will be to his conscience The cost to the bank â LLOYDS â is further damage to their already tarnished and tawdry reputation. In the end, who knows, Scottish Football Association head honcho Stewart Regan may even get the chance to feel a collar and utter namesake Jack's immortal lineâ¦. âGet your strides on chum, youâre nicked!â
Wasn't Lawell, only yesterday, telling Regan not to have an investigation? Hmmm, it seems the Celtic director's influence on the catholic-dominated labour-supporting bigots at the SFA may be waning. Which can only be good news for law-abiding scottish british unionist protestants the world over.
Two weeks ago, Whyte has nothing to do with current crisis http://leggoland2.blogspot.com/2012/02/david-murray-and-rangers-crisis.html He's a buffoon.
"In fact, one pal of a similar vintage to me, described Paul as the sort of man we had encountered in our boyhood and youth, as a Kirk elder, family doctor or headmaster. Old school Scottish and all the better for being it." Why don't you tell us what you really mean David?
They want that financially prudent Walter Smith in board as well. Anyone know just how much of Rangers' money he has actually spent?
As ST says, £33.5m although he did take in £20m so his final total was only £13.2m spent over 5 years. Celtic by comparison during the same time spent £35.5m and took in about the same leaving a total spend of about £200k.
