Sounds like John James was correct re the leak if that is to be believed. If true, Celtic needs to bring the roof down on all their corrupt heads. |

Celtic did not leak the letter. Someone at the SFA did. Whether that was Broadfoot or not I have no idea. I also have no idea why Ewing Grahame was the SFA's preferred mouthpiece. I think it would be safe to assume that Celtic will give a response to yesterday's SFA stitch up once we get the Hamilton game out of the way. |

Broadfoot was on Radio Scotland the other night when they were interviewing Div McDonald, the guy that runs the Pie & Bovril site. They were interviewing McDonald as he had got into some Twitter argument with Regan on the attendance at the Scotland game. During the interview McDonald mentioned one of the reasons for the low attendance was fans anger at the way the old Rangers had been dealt with. Broadfoot jumped in at that point and started speaking about that having nothing to do with the SFA. I would imagine Broadfoot would have known about the SFA letter to clubs at that point. At the time, it seemed strange that Broadfoot jumped into that particular issue, whilst the rest of the guys on Radio Scotland were trying hard to act as if the hadn't heard what McDonald had said! |

I really like this exchange from page 112 Q. What is the player doing in return for getting these hundreds of thousands of pounds through the Remuneration Trust, Mr Dickson? A. Playing football. Q. Playing football? Providing a service to the club; yes? A. Yes. Yes, yes. |

In hindsight, the leak did not make sense without knowing what was to come from the SFA later in the day. At the time, given the reporter involved and the paper it was in, it looked like it might have been Celtic doing the leaking. In short, they are not very good at this. Far too blatant and amateurish in the extreme. You would hope that the way the SFA are acting would now have Celtic in full on Fergus mode. |

The plot thickens. I'd imagine this PR war to be a bit like an iceberg - the stuff we see on the surface is nothing compared to some of the briefing and counter-briefing that's going on off the record. A freelance has a by-lined exclusive on the Celtic position on the eve of huge SFA snub. The retained SFA PR functionary 'pops in' to the Sportsound studios the night before it breaks. Smoke appears above the Kerrydale Suite to the effect that Celtic arn't the source of the leak. Broadhoof starts to become the story. Don't know what the hell is going on, but I like it. Kinda like when the game starts to open up and it's end-to-end stuff. Edited by Nisi Dominus Frustra, 8 Sep 2017, 01:53 PM.

You also think Paddy Roberts didn't want to sign permanently despite Rodgers and Roberts suggesting otherwise. |

It appears you are correct about the source of the leak not being Celtic. I should give up trying to interpret / guess what is happening. I sincerely hope you are also correct about a Celtic response. One thing I can say about this tale of cheating, corruption, criminality, deceit and tax evasion: We can never be accused of being paranoid. We are not paranoid enough |

Is the general consensus now that the SFA leaked the Peter Lawwell letter and not Celtic? |

This from RTC re Andrew Dickson evidence at FTT "Dickson's spreadsheet showing that RFC treated wages and EBT payments as the same thing- guaranteed earnings for players. Thanks Andrew! 😀 " There's much more along the same lines, plus a mini blog and the full transcript of FTT, on RTC twitter feed. RTC sitting on reams of evidence that he's threatening to release ( protecting sources ) It's actually incredible, in light of this, that the FTT found in Rangers' favour. One of the main things that infuriates me about this whole thing is that Dickson & Ogilvie, the two most closely associated with the EBT cheating, sauntered into jobs at the SFA without so much as a single objection being raised by anyone. The corruption involved here is just breathtaking. |

this is good from the transxcript A. I actually don't remember the email, no. Q. You don't remember the email? A. No. Q. Did you tell the players that, "Due to the year-end and a heavy amount of administration, the Trust payments that you were due to receive will not be with you until the end of June"? A. Probably would have done, yes. Q. And if you had done, then it would have been a lie to the players, wouldn't it? A. Yes. Q. And the reason that you had to lie to the players was because you had to keep the lid on the fact that the wheels looked like coming off the Remuneration Trust |
