European Commission seek explanation on Celtic land deals

[The Educator 1,572]

I think it shows they are all running scared of liewell ... could you imagine them sitting on it if it was us my god they would all be full of it every day"

They'd be printing 10 page specials. Liewell is their public face, what we really have to start digging for is any links between the main money men and the press and politicians in the UK. The is plenty on the actions of one of these regarding political donations and tax matters in his home land as well as some interesting activity in the gambling world in Australia. Given the way that some companies use the ROI as a tax dodge haven would it be such a leap of faith to consider that it may be worth looking for similar political activity in the UK.

The only thing missing from the evidence about what has been going on is a list of councillors and council employees who attended the meetings regarding the land deals with rock solid proof of their direct links to c****c. The problem here is that any mistake could be very costly as I have no doubt they would go after the author of the document through the courts. f this list we to be created I would like to think that the RFF would provide cash to have the document cleared by lawyers. Name the names, prove the links and you have them no only for state aid to a football cub, but also for fraud and corruption.

Are any of the MSM papers in Scotland part of the Rupert Murdoch group of holdings?

If they are found guilty of recieving state aid, fraud and corruption what are the likely sanctions the club will face?

Also what about the corrupt individuals from nhsgcc, gcc and co-op?

Hopefully massive financial and sporting sanctions for the paedo harbourers and prison sentences for the individuals.

For me its the links to the Labour party that will be the thing here, for talking sake, say it is proved that those who both had Darkside season tickets or shares, worked for this political party and allowed sensitive information from one to subsidise the other without declaring conflict of interest, with plenty of labour supporters from other teams within Glasgow seeking clarification this could be extremely damaging to both their support and their contributions. The best way forward here would be for them to conduct their own internal investigation IMHO

Have to take my hat off to Mr Canoe for not being fobbed off by GCC for not releasing info through FOI and EIR requests.

He has went to town with GCC on this

I'm not sure if the link is working but have you any idea how long the GCC review takes?

Great work by this bear.

From FOI

"However, we also believe there is a significant public interest in third parties being able to provide commercial information to public authorities in the expectation that the legally binding duty of confidence under which the information is provided will not be breached by an authority in such a manner as to cause substantial harm to that party's commercial interests."

Originally I thought that they were describing the method used in carrying out the survey by a third party company was the reason for blanking the FOI. Now I'm beginning to wonder whether or not they had the survey done at all and perhaps that the report used was produced by a third party which was working for the purchaser, or indeed that they are playing games and describing the purchaser as the third party. If the latter was the case it would certainly be easy to see how a proper disclose may "cause substantial harm to that party's commercial interests". One thing is for sure an that is this whole situation stinks to high heaven.

Keep up the good work Guys, you are a credit to our Integrity wee seek only fairness and equality

[dummiesoot 16,035]

Mr Canoe is doing a sterling job this GCC thing stinks of cover up.

[nachothelegend 1,932]

Been very quiet on this.

Calm before the Storm maybe.

Bump.

[corkinator 611]

another bump, any news yet. WHEN will they be found guilty?

[soulboy 2,520]

Pzj said on twitter the other week his work is done and eu should make a decision within 4-6 weeks. Only info pzj didn't get was geotechnical report for westhorn but gcc have given it to the eu commission.

I think everything rests on what the report says but we'll never know what it says as gcc refuse to release it using a different excuse every time someone asks for it

I have a sneaky feeling that this may have a bit more running in it yet. They may get a break this time round, but I just have that feeling that there may well be more damming evidence to emerge. Do I have any evidence of this, no just a gut feeling. The real damage will be done when and if we are in a position to name those who were involved along with undeniable links between them and c****c.

i hope you're right and that people are still digging for info. I'm keeping an eye on a few FOI requests. One came back this week after someone asked if there were any gcc employees attended the uefa cup final as guests of celtic but they said they don't hold hospitality info for this long. Might have thrown up a few names but we'll never know now.

That's interesting as any freebies to the GCC could be viewed as possible inducements depending on who thy were from a what business the had been engaging in with the GCC. Only about a month ago it was revealed that members of East Ayrshire Council had receive freebie to Seville and Manchester to watch c****c from mining companies who have now gone bust leaving the tax payers to fork out for the clean up costs. Obviously there had to be records that revealed this so it would be interesting to know hat the legal length of time these records have to be maintained by council in Scotland.
