Comment From David David : ]
Germany seems to manage with one "superclub" - Bayern - who are supported across the country, with provincial teams having more local backing. As teams only play each other twice a season, other clubs have more opportunities to cause a threat.

Good point ...

SPL needs to move to twice a season!

To be fair there were plenty of Celtic fans on about similar ****e last season. Football is littered with ******ed fans.

I love how much they hate Lawell. It's genuinely turned a lot of Celtic fans into liking the man. I still think he's a bit of an arsehole but he winds the Huns up so much it's hard not to respect him a bit.

LAWWELL ON BRINK OF NEW SFA POWER GRAB
CELTIC are lining up another secret power grab at the very top of the Scottish Football Association.

And if the Parkhead powerbrokers pull off their behind closed doors wheeling and dealing it will mean a promotion to a seat on the all powerful elite SFA MAIN BOARD for Celtic chief executive, Peter Lawwell..

With Lawwell’s place on the Scottish Football Association’s Professional Game Board being filled by Celtic’s Â£250,000-a-year financial director, Eric Riley, who is already a powerful man, sitting, as he does, on the Scottish Premier League Board.

The latest murky manoeuvres have been sparked by the resignation of the Scottish Premier League’s highly paid executive chairman, Ralph Topping, from both the Pro Game and Main Board, of the Scottish Football Association.
The controversial Topping claims he is stepping aside because of work commitments.

But by stepping down, SPL executive chairman Topping keeps his big salary from the SPL and also opens the way for Celtic to grab and even tighter iron grip of power at the pinnacle of the game’s governing body, with Lawwell set to be invited into the inner sanctum.

It has always been usual for any club director who is an SFA member to work his way through the system, learning the ropes, before starting off on a slow steady climb to the upper echelons of power within the Scottish Football Association.

These rules do NOT apply to Lawwell

For since Peter Lawwell’s pal, SFA chief executive Stewart Regan, bulldozed his reforms through, things have changed. And the big beneficiary of Regan’s revolution has been Celtic chief executive, Peter Lawwell.
Just twelve MONTHS ago, Lawwell was not even a member of the Scottish Football Association. Now he is on the brink of moving onto the SEVEN man elite Main Board.

And that means he is closing in on the top job.

For even though Alan McCrae is the vice president and should succeed to the presidency, I believe that things might change again.

I believe there may be another rules switch to benefit Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell and his bid for control of football in Scotland. Alongside his good old pal, Stewart Regan.

If Lawwell is promoted to the all powerful elite Main Board after less than a year on the highly influential Professional Game Board, he will surely be on the fast track to short circuit the system again.
PETER LAWWELL WILL BE PRESIDENT OF THE SCOTTISH FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION WITHIN TWO YEARS!

That is my confident prediction. And my warning to the present president, the gentlemanly Campbell Ogilvie and his vice president McCrae, is simply this….

WATCH YOUR BACKS!

Lawwell gate crashed the Hampden boardroom less than a year ago. It was, claimed his best buddy in football, Regan had nothing to do with that meteoric rise.

Lawwell, according to the Parkhead supremo’s comrade-in-arms,Stewart Regan, had been sent to the SFA Professional Game Board by the Scottish Premier League as their representative.

The questions which have never answered with clarity is, why did the SPL chose Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell to represent them in the Hampden boardroom?

And why was Celtic financial director, Eric Riley ,then parachuted into the Scottish Premier League board of directors?

With Celtic director, Riley now set to keep that powerful post on the SPL, as well as stepping up to fill the seat on the SFA’s influential Pro Game Board, vacated by Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell if he moves up to extend Celtic’s grip on decision making to the all powerful elite Main Board of the SFA.

It seems that every other word used when describing the positions of power and the men who hold them within the Scottish Football Association and the Scottish Premier League is ….

CELTIC!

And the one thing football fans CANNOT expect to be told is what is going on behind the closed doors of the SPL and the SFA.

WHY?

Because so many newspapers – the Daily Mail, the Sunday Mail, the Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday in particular – are the new guardians of SECRECY, the new CENSORS!

They do not believe football supporters – their readers – have the right to know how decisions made behind closed doors are reached. They do not believe football supporters – their readers – have the right to know who makes these decisions.

At least the Scotsman carried the news about Topping standing down. Though I suspect the Scotsman Publications Pair, Glenn Gibbons and Tom English, would have preferred to have kept it under wraps.
At least until Celtic chief executive, Peter Lawwell was safely seated next to his pal, Stewart Regan the next time the Scottish Football Association’s all powerful elite Main Board meets.

And until Celtic director, Eric Riley can cosy up to Regan in the Hampden boardroom the next time the influential SFA Pro Game Board meets. No doubt, Riley having come hot foot from wielding power as Celtic’s man on the SPL at one of their board meetings.

More garbage. If Peter Lawell already holds "an iron grip" on Scottish Football what possible difference does it make what position he holds in the SFA?

Are we to believe that the current president Campbell Ogilvie is somehow less powerful than Lawell?

As I have pointed out several times before there are lots of people on thse various boards, what power does Lawell hold over these dispirate individuals? Maybe he's a modern day Svengali?

This is the same Campbell Ogilvie who had an EBT while working for Rangers. Has he paid it back?

[h=2]Thursday, 3 May 2012[/h][h=3]BILL MILLER, THE CHICAGO MOB, ANDREW ELLIS AND BARRY HUGHES[/h]

THE Chicago Mob, or to give them their Sunday name, Club 9 Sport, are slippery customers.

For they have failed to completely disassociate themselves from the Bill Miller bid for Rangers. A bid which, if successful, will surely kill the club.

Just weigh the weasel words from the big boss of the Chigaco Mob, John Pritchett and you will see exactly what I mean.

Pritchett said that Club 9 Sport – aka the Chicago Mob – have no OFFICIAL relationship with Bill Miller.

Not, you will note, that there is NO RELATIONSHIP.

Just that any relationship which may exist is not official. Making it, what is known as a non-denial denial. Weasel words!

And if there is no official relationship between the Chicago Mob and its big boss, Jon Pritchett, why was Pritchett emailing details of the Bill Miller bid to the Daily Record?

The Chicago Mob are quoted on behalf of Bill Miller in today's Daily Record.

GOTCHA!

As I said, the Chigaco Mob are a slippery bunch and big boss Pritchett their ace slippery customer.

What we do know, what emerged in the past, is that there IS a link between the Chicago Mob and Bill Miller, who in turn is linked to former Rangers director from the Craig Whyte era, the dodgy Andrew Ellis.

And we also know, because Ellis was happy to make it public when he took him as his guest to the Ibrox directors’ box, there is a link between Andrew Ellis and the notorious Celtic supporting, Barry Hughes.

Pause for a moment and think about a statement Bill Miller has made. Then ask yourselves a question.

Bill Miller has said that if he gets his greedy paws on Rangers he will install Scottish businessmen as directors to run the club. Will BARRY HUGHES be one of the businessmen Bill Miller has in mind?

Yet these are the people Duff and Phelps are now closing in on favouring. The people Paul Clark and David Whitehouse are on the brink of handing the keys of Ibrox to.

Which means that Duff and Phelps, through the bizarre actions of Paul Clark and David Whitehouse, will be forever linked with Craig Whyte as the men who killed Rangers.

I wonder what that would do for the reputation and business prospects of Duff and Phelps as insolvency practitioners?

In fact, if Paul Clark and David Whitehouse name Bill Miller as the preferred bidder and if Miller goes on to take control of Rangers, they will, on behalf of Duff and Phelps, kill off TWO birds with the one stone.

Rangers and Duff and Phelps.

For it is doubtful if Duff and Phelps could survive the catastrophic publicity fall out which would result in any decision Paul Clark and David Whitehouse make leading to Rangers being killed off.

And if Duff and Phelps go belly up, which other firm would employ Paul Clark and David Whitehouse?

Of course, maybe Clark and Whitehouse don’t give a hoot. Maybe their share of the Â£2M plus Duff and Phelps have waltzed off with so far during this long running sage is enough to ensure they won’t have to work again.

Maybe they don’t like the Rangers tradition?. Maybe they are uncomfortable with the Ibrox culture? Maybe they have been actively trying to maneouvre a situation such as the one they are now in?

Who knows? Not me!

But I do know they have given every professionally qualified man in similar professional fields who I have spoken to, the distinct impression of being way out of their depth. Of being Third Division accountants operating at Champions League level.

Now, seemingly thanks to Duff and Phelps, thanks to Clark and Whitehouse, the Rangers crisis has gone from bad to worse and is now on the brink of going nuclear.

Therefore, perhaps it is time for the increasingly and actively militant Rangers support to show their strength.

Last Saturday there were close to 10,000 fans who gathered in Queens Park to march on Hampden and protest against the Scottish Football Association.

The result?

Well, was it a coincidence that 48 hours later the Scottish Premier League, who share the Hampden sixth floor with the SFA, backed off taking a vote which would further punish Rangers?

The power of the people, perhaps.

Last weekend’s demo against the SFA was big, it was noisy, it was determined, it was colourful and it was orderly.

Perhaps it is time for the people who organised it, the supporters groups who came together as one body and were led by Ibrox legend Sandy Jardine, to muster their troops again.

And to march on Paul Clark and David Whitehouse. To march on Duff and Phelps.

The stakes are even higher now than they were when they staged their demo outside Hampden. The danger to the club they support even greater and more imminent now than it has been at any time since Duff and Phelps set up camp inside Ibrox on February 15.

The need for determined and coordinated action from Rangers supporters to save their club from Duff and Phelps, from Paul Clark and David Whitehouse, from the Chicago Mob, from Bill Miller, from Andrew Ellis and from Celtic fan, Barry Hughes, is urgent. There is not a moment to spare.

Winston Churchill had a three word phrase which he used to scrawl at the end of orders he issued during the dark days of 1940. They apply to Rangers supporters now.

Now, seemingly thanks to Duff and Phelps, thanks to Clark and Whitehouse, the Rangers crisis has gone from bad to worse and is now on the brink of going nuclear. (No, that's the fault of the mega-rich Blue Knights and Brian Kennedy not coming up with enough money to outbid the American)

Therefore, perhaps it is time for the increasingly and actively militant Rangers support to show their strength. (Bombs and bullets?)

Last Saturday there were close to 10,000 fans who gathered in Queens Park to march on Hampden and protest against the Scottish Football Association. (7,000 imbeciles marched to shout at an empty building)

These guys are constantly changing their stance. At least the weird Yank guy has been fairly honest (If a bit crazy in demanding no punishment from the SFA & SPL)

When he buys Rangers he'll liquidate/"incubate" () the club and they'll be reborn as the Houston Huns or Ohio Orangemen
