Do you think we could pap the computer game chat out of this thread? Pretty sure most people are hoping for R12 news when they see the thread bumped. Ta.
Nothing is ever going to happen with resolution 12. Celtic have no interest in pursuing it.
I think it depends on the expectations of what is meant by "happen."

All the Res asked for was to uncover how RFC obtainted a UEFA licence in 2011 using the UEFA Club Financial Control Body as the instrument of investigation.

This was the identified path because the CFCB had the authority to request information and doing so make certain documents that many have seen "legit".

However asking UEFA to investigate is and was only a means to an end, which was to make the SFA realise they are accountable by seeking answers to questions they were able to avoid doing in the past but could not just bin now because these questions carried the authority of not being voted down at an AGM of a member club and therefore still an outstanding item following adjournment.

If accountability is getting answers then so far so good, because with each a better understanding of what took place emerges and by next June when the CW trial is over and the COS have ruled, there will be a complete understanding and in fact no need to use UEFA, unless what emerges requires their involvement not to investigate but decide if their rules are fit for purpose and if they are then what to do in respect of the Licensor (the SFA) who failed to apply as UEFA intended. The Licencee in 2011 no longer being with us.

E Tims have all the background and the latest at http://etims.net/?p=10640 sets out the accountability objective, although a much more responsive mechanism is needed than the AGM Route and that might be a natural consequence depending on what emerges.

So....
Is there any life left in Res 12? Where exactly are we on this- are the board going to do anything?
Seems to have gone very quiet, after a lot of hard work too, by the individuals involved.

Celtic have kicked it down the line until the Supreme Court ruling.

Should the verdict be upheld then i'd expect a flurry of activity.

That has nothing to do with Resolution 12 though

Whilst you are technically correct the finality of the tax case would give Celtic a much stronger hand to finally go public with statements and what they want done going forward.

I might be wrong, it has been known, but is the Res 12 stuff not connected with the wee tax case? Which the huns admitted liability for?

Genuine question.

They could easily have went public long before now with both this and the LNS stitch up.
It looks to me like they've been hoping for it to go away all this time.

Ok mate, i'm sure this thread will still be going when the Supreme Court final ruling is made.

We can take it back up then.

Remember the bold Phil Mac spoke of indirectly presenting DD with a dossier that spelled out exactly WTF the huns and their SFA brethren got up to prior to liquidation and since? And that - somehow - he (Phil) subsequently learned that DD was agog at the info therein; was sorely unimpressed at Lawwell/The Board for not accurately appraising him of the full story, and demanded it be taken seriously?

Can't remember if this was before or in the wake of the Cup semi defeat, and DD's alleged resolve to bury the huns after encountering their toerag directors. This ringing any bells? :ponder:
Was aware DD was seriously effed off with the Zombies giruy behaviour at the SC semi final.....hadn't heard that Phil Mac was the source through which DD learned about the huns shenanigans pre and post liquidation, or that DD was unhappy with Pistol Pete/Board for not properly briefing him.

I heard a slightly different take on this from a guy who has excellent contacts at Celtic.
After the semi-final DD, apparently enraged by the Huns directors' behaviour, practically had PL up against the wall asking him what the eff he was being paid for.
If I've heard this then I'd expect there must be others who've heard the same, if it's true.

DD wasn't still in the ground at the final whistle.

Well perhaps the information is not as reliable as I thought, or perhaps there's a variation of the truth, who knows?
I trust the guy who told me though.

I think it's probably more likely that the board are taking every opportunity they can find to do as little as possible if not nothing at all until the whole issue is time barred.

Can see that FC Copenhagen are one of the latest clubs going into eSport with the idea of setting up 3 teams, one in CS, one i FIFA and one in Dota 2

They will be looking to put in over a million pound a year on the 3 teams (each of 3 players)

PSG, Barca etc already have pro eSport teams

Any rumours of Celtic putting up one? doesn't look like PL to miss out on a profit business - Games gets huge following, the 2015 record was at 36 million followers

Agreed.

The applause they got today was fitting especially after having banners aimed at them (and rightfully so) last season. How times change.

Absolutely, there is only so much watering down of the product people can stomach. The biggest lesson is the manager - you might be able to take a punt on players but imo you absolutely can't do it with managers. You have to pay top dollar for the right man. They did with Rodgers and look at the results.
