An interesting post from the dark side pertaining to clubs deliberately going bust and then "purchasing" their history!

"1.) Op Is that what you lot did in 95 when the company started by wee fergus picked up your mob on the cheap?

JG"

Sorry to repost on here ed as this person seems to be a protected species with his utter tripe he is peddling on their site and cannot be challenged in anyway by their eds posting responses!
I remember when this tool came on here and you gave him one hell of a skelping! Lol keep up the great work ed007 :-)

{Ed007's Note - Ask any The Rangers/Sevco/Newclub fans why, when McCann bought CFC, or the Thompson's bought Dundee Utd, the Glazers bought Man Utd, Abramovich bought Chelsea, even after the messy court battle over Liverpool....Did any of those clubs need to re-apply to join their league set up?
Why didn't they need to re-apply when David Murray took over in the 80's, or even when Craig Whyte took over and unfurled the league flag, their last ever trophy?
How many players walked away from those listed club's for free because the club changed owners?
As for cheap, McCann and his partners spent a lot more than the one single scabby £ that Whyte paid for that shower of muck. I can't recall us having to re-apply to the league and losing a load of players for free when Fergus sold up either.
Don't argue with idiots mate, they will only drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience. Console them, we ALL know they are hurting.}

Ed as always a great response! You just sum it up so well! But why are we not able to debate these sort of garbage on their site? I am sure you have no problem letting them respond to anything that is posted, why do they seem so hell bent on distorting the truth and allowing these blatant lies on their forum? As I have said before, you run a great forum ed and we are lucky to have you!can you get an answer for their eds why they always allow idiots such as JG to peddle arrogant keek?

{Ed007's Note - I take nothing at all to do with their site, it's funny enough reading it without having to edit or run it! The argument will just go back and forth, we know we're right, they know we're right but can't bring themselves to admit it, at least publicly.
I'll put it this way, they denied there was any trouble behind the scenes even when Hugh Adam sold his shares and warned them in 2002, administration wouldn't happen, there was no tax cases, liquidation wouldn't happen etc etc
You need to realise that we aren't dealing with rational intelligent people here. I get the odd pathetic troll but mostly they avoid posting on here. 99% of the time they resort to type, laughing about child abuse, after they get a skelping on here.}

Just posted something similar myself. I would not worry about this JG guy, I actually think he is a plant as he cannot bring himself to criticize anything sevco. Might he be fat derek? ED's right, forget this journey single fish, they are starting to slowly realise they are years away from getting to where they think they should be. Pacific Shelf? As Mrs E might say. OOOFT!

Ed007, not forgetting that all creditors were paid in full, including paying off the old directors like the Whites and Kellys (who had got the Club into its financial state in the first place). Plus he built a 60, 00-seater stadium with his own money. Compare that to what the parcel of rogues in Govan have done since they took over.

TomTheTim

You are right ED, this guy is just a clown, he stay's in Angola, so he will put a lot into the sevco coffer's eh, not.
Tambhoy

Ed, do you Eds not have any kind of debate between you on the various subjects. It would be interesting to see the take on the new club but old history topic by the other eds.

{Ed007's Note - Believe it or not we very rarely talk about football unless it is to pass on any information we have. The English Eds have no real interest in Scottish football so it never really gets spoke about.}

"Parcel of Rogues" love it, will do for the more formal occasion where the colloquial "shower" is less appropriate. Thank you. pea

Hi ed. How is everybody? Hope everyone had a good Christmas. What striker do you think we will bring in?HH bigirishmac

{Ed007's Note - All good this end BIM, I hope you and the family had a nice Christmas. I don't see us signing a striker in January unless there are departures. In January Holmbert Fridjonsson is eligible to play, Bangura is due back and reports suggest Tony Watt will be returning, add that in the mix with Stokes, Pukki and Balde and we are strong numbers wise if not in quality.}

ED007: On the Holmbert thing mate, a guy at the game was saying he has really impressed everyone in training and will start V the jags or at least be on the bench. You heard any reports?

{Ed007's Note - There's certainly very high hopes for him, even look at who done marketing and advertising in the run up to Christmas. I was talking to one of the young players on Christmas Day and according to him he is the real deal. I don't know about starting against Partick but I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench and come on, if anything it will give the place a lift to see a fresh face and give the lad a hopefully comfortable debut.}

ED007: Thanks mate.I did notice his PR assault and thought it strange to put him up for this stuff. Fingers crossed this is the one we have been looking for. At the moment we have no one attacking crosses into the box.

{Ed007's Note - This is without doubt the poorest strike-force I have seen at CP in many years.}

ED007: Really? I give you two words. Jim Melrose! A Celtic striker who scored for us and gave it the get it up you to the fans! jeeze my spine shivers just saying his name.

{Ed007's Note - You're showing your age there (again), I can only vaguely remember him.}

ED007: Enough all ready about age please! Now that I have officially retired (early before you start mate!) I see me as an elder statesman. On Melrose or Plumrose as he was christened by the Jungle, your lucky you never seen him!

Another more recent was Andy Payton. always threatened to light a fire but never managed it

{Ed007's Note - Payton, Biggins and Cascarino were awful, but has Pukki or Bangura shown anything to warrant not being classed the same? Congratulations on your retirement btw.}

Green jhedi,, was it not Melrose who told / advised celtic about hooper?,,

ED007: Thanks mate, what a bleedin hassle it became because unlike the sevconians I pay my taxes!

You are sadly right about the comparisons though. A mate said the same about Pukki, another Payton. Oh for another Nicholas!

{Ed007's Note - Nicholas was my first real CFC 'hero' when I was a young pup, he is one of the best strikers ever to play for us. If he had chose Liverpool instead of Arsenal he would get a lot more credit than he does outside the game. I'd have hated seeing him at Anfield right enough.}

I was around 9 when Payton was at CP but I seem to remember him scoring some goals in a lot worse team than we have now, too young to remember his all round game and I'll take your word for it that he was awful but he scored more than pukki has anyway! L1888

ED007: Charlie was the real deal. I always said he should have stayed for another season and went to Liverpool.Sadly Charlie liked being a playboy and if you are a playboy where do you head?

Incidentally I saved Charlie from a sore face in the Penthouse (one for the kids there folks) after he had been a touch too frisky with a girl I knew. Problem was her boyfriend was a psycho from Cumbernauld who was determined to do him!

{Ed007's Note - I've heard a few stories about his scrapes in night-clubs, I doubt he has changed.}

He was a bit naughty after a drink Ed. I had mates from Maryhill who knew him well and was in his company plenty and he was alright, the drink gave him 'daftboayitis'. Ah, the good old days.

{Ed007's Note - I know someone who flew up to Glasgow with him a few months back (did he do any Sly work for our CL games?) and Charlie was half-canned on the champers before they even boarded the plane. I don't think they ever change, my nephew has been playing in goals for the Legends in the charity games and he says McAvennie is still all over any women hanging about, or vice-versa whatever way you look at it.}

I was out in Ashton lane a while back and Macca was hanging around there with assorted females. I found it a touch sad tbh, they were hardly the Jenny Blyths of his youth, but seemed to be rather enamoured with Frankie boy!

{Ed007's Note - I can imagine.}

Does anyone think that stevie may would be with buying

Is he any better than what we have. Congrats to Tony Watt on bagging 2 goals. Keep your but down bhoy! At least one celtic striker is scoring.

I think it would be a good bit of business. He looks to have bags of potential and noised up our defence for 90 minutes.
