A chance encounter in London

Today I learned about a chance meeting in the imperial capital.

Celtic’s top guys were in the Big Smoke to tie up some business.

I’m told that one Parkhead chap was sitting down to dinner that evening when a senior member of the Sevco High Command walked into the same upmarket establishment.

The offer was extended to the Ibrox chap to pull up a chair so that he wasn’t dining alone and he graciously accepted.

There is nothing to suggest that this was anything other than an entirely chance encounter.

For the avoidance of doubt, I have THREE sources for this story.

One of them was in the restaurant and observed the interaction.

Another source, close to the Celtic boardroom, confirmed the basics today that the din-dins did indeed occur as I had been told.

Source Number Two stated that it was all very convivial and the subject of football was studiously avoided

However, towards the end of the meal, the Ibrox affiliated chap did lament that his own business might not be in safe hands once he had passed on the baton.

Then today Source Number Three, again someone in a position to know, advised me that the same Blue Room fellow might be trying to offload one part of his business.

Moreover, he said that it had all the signs of a distressed sale.

It is worth noting that this apparently embattled businessman is the very chap that Chairman Dave is relying on to come up with even more liquidity in the coming months.

As far as I know, the Celtic guy picked up the tab at the end of the evening…

  1. This could actually signal the end of the Lying king , I think big Mick still has an eye on taking them over .They missed the boat once before due to Paul Murrays and Dave’s bigotry plea…the fans of the old club that died may be more willing for that multi millionaire sugar daddy now as the new club grows ever hungrier and desperate for a chance of success. The fans may realise that there still paying 75p in the pound to him .They still settled the 3 million pound bill and hid that from The man in the street as well .Bad P.R scuppered his first bite at them big Micks now in the driving seat unless Dave pays him the cash owed and tbh I dont see that happening, he still has not even got them listed on the AIM due to his reluctance to post audited accounts. Gerrard the fraud looks unhappy at all his most recent press conferences . Changes are afoot .

  2. It is apposite that the club formed to feed the poor in the east end of Glasgow is now feeding the poor of the south side of Glasgow.

  3. I see West Ham are the latest club linked to the Colombian man/child.
    Apparently they are looking for a back up to their recent multi million pounds German striker signing.
    Sources vary the fee at between £4m and £10 as the Hammers have some worries about the temperament of their target.
    Now that sort of cash is nowhere near enough to meet the annual cash shortfall, to pay back the Close Bros loan and with Ashley standing in the shadows waiting to play his very strong hand.
    Plus of course a replacement will have to be sourced and strikers don’t come cheap.
    With no guarantee of Europa Cup group stage revenue the board will be between a rock and a hard place.
    The clock on the transfer window is ticking and if this latest contender is for real it may be the only offer on the table.
    Interesting times.

  4. Seem to recall something along the lines happening about 130 years ago; “a football club will be formed for the maintenance of dinner tables….

    Glad to see we haven’t lost our charitable ethos! 🙂

  5. I hope that the ‘business’ man finally sees sense and stops funding the desperate, cheating, conniving Squinty but then again, he seems to have many gullible peepul under his spell and the ‘business’ man might just pony up yet again.
    No surprise that the Celtic man picked up the tab. HH
