.............................What do you fear and when were we ever done any favours?
Integrity.......please????
When there is cold hard cash involved, then integrity gets left at the door along with candour and virtue.
Don't make this some type of noble crusade. There are no good guys or bad guys here. Just rich guys and poor guys. It's the way of the world......always has been, always will be.
A lot of folk will talk about revolution and what happened to the previous board. How was that resolved again? That's right, a wee man came along with a big bag of money.
The quote without “fear or favour” is a direct quote from Peter Lawwell which he has used on numerous occasions in the press for effect.....I thought you might have known that.....I made the reference to it to highlight the sheer hypocrisy of his words.....as he clearly doesn’t practice what he preaches.....a simple analogy.....with no fear from my perspective attached whatsoever.....hopefully that makes things clear
My reference to “integrity” again highlights the sad disregard for doing what is right by our custodians and the lack of a semblance of truth along with it.....I expect those who are in a position of authority at our Club to have “integrity” and to display it.
An example.....when Peter Lawwell stated at the AGM that the matter in question was time barred by UEFA he lied.....there is no time bar when there is evidence of impropriety.....and that evidence is there and he knows it and so do many of us.
When you say there are no good guys or bad guys here.....I couldn’t disagree more.....that statement could very well be used to sanction the actions of people like Dave King......because for them it’s all about the money.....or as you put it.....the cold hard cash.....do we really want to be seen to accepting or condoning this type of behaviour as its the way of the world?....are we to be seen as accepting that money takes precedence over integrity?.....not for me I’m afraid.....I’m sure others will decide for themselves
Next stop Jerusalem
