rangersfc77 170 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Delighted that an investigation is to be had. I will reserve judgement on the matter until all the details are confirmed. Whoever had legitimately pursed this deserves great plaudits as all I want is that those corrupt so and so's get the same treatment and scrutiny they imposed on us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulboy 2,513 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 i agree, some people clutching at straws hereThe EU didn't side with the clubs over Bosman and that was a far far far bigger deal than this as it affected every club in the EU not just 8 clubs as it stands just now, So why won't anything come of this.

MrMccoist 204 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Please see template below for useContacthttp://www.audit-sco...t/as/people.phpTemplateDear Sir/MadamI have recently been made aware of a blog raising questions on several land deals involving Celtic Football Club.There are a number of questions raised about the value of land sold by public bodies to Celtic FC, ie the sales of London Road Primary School and Westhorn to Celtic by Glasgow City Council, and the sale of Lennox Castle Hospital from the Greater Glasgow Health Board to Celtic.The blog is here, with a number of references thereinhttp://footballtaxha....wordpress.com/One other public body, the Valuation Office Agency was also mentioned in a recent report of one of the transactionshttp://www.heraldsco...0-deal.22932938Given some of the analysis on that blog suggests that the sales may have been under market value, and in one instance may have (conveniently) been below a threshold (£500k) that would require a higher level of authority to approve the sale (Lennox Castle), I would ask that the Audit Office conduct a thorough examination of these transactions.Please also note that one site today is reporting that the European Commission is investigating these land deals, while the Conservative Government at Westminster is also reportedly seeking answers on the activities of the Co-Operative Bank.http://www.theranger...ltic-land-dealsCould you please advise what course of action you plan to take with regards to these transactions?ThanksKind RegardsJames BaillieAdmin can we sticky thiseveryone should be posting an email above, get it on ff, dtb, gersnet every bear with twitter tweet it, retweet it facebook it and shout it.Everyones had a good kick at us, its about time we kicked back.BP or gogz can you pls sticky this.

RFC Eagle 4,888 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Is this all based on someone presuming the land would be worth a lot of money should there ever be houses built upon it?No its based on the Co-op having land valued at £5 million as part of a loan security within days of it being sold to Celtic (not sure if it was by GCC or GGC NHS board) for a fraction of the amount. Various other deals seem more than a little dodgy with £1 deals and historic properties being allowed to decay, despite an outcry from many, then acquired by 'them' for peanuts.

liquid111 51 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It is a great irony that our friendly rivals from across the city were seeking to place great scrutiny on Rangers, when it now appears they were dabbling in all sorts themselves.I personally am very surprised that they managed to aquire the land specified for what looks to be an extraordinarily cheap price.

BlueAvenger 10,003 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Well done and great work to those who highlighted these matters (PZJ and others on McMurdos blog , D'Artagnan , VB etc)I would urge every Bear to send emails to the relevant authorities / politicians regarding their cheap loans and land deals.I would also suggest contacting Radio Clyde, Radio Scotland and the newspapers to express our concerns and keep the pressure on.These organisations turn my stomach but the media can influence public opinion.This may come to nothing and everything could be above board (no laughing) but at least we tried.Just think about the poor Council tax payers in Glasgow, financial doping and....sporting integrity !!Surely apathy, dignified silence and doing nothing are not options.
