In der Tat ein äußerst wirres Statement von King gestern!
Dave King 2012: "
I follow the logic of the argument that if we lose the tax case then we probably gained some competitive advantage."
Dave King 2015: "
First, irrespective of the final outcome of the tax appeal the football team had no advantage from any tax savings from the scheme put in place by the Murray Group."
Merkt der Mann noch irgendwas? Eigentlich mĂĽssten ihm diese Aussagen heute medial dermaĂźen um die Ohren gehauen werden...
Immerhin fühlte sich Celtic jetzt mal zu einem Statement genötigt:
Celtic FC StatementIN response to considerable interest from supporters, shareholders and media representatives in recent days, Celtic today made the following statement:
“We are aware of last week’s Court of Session ruling, which we note is subject to potential appeal.
“Celtic’s position on this issue is consistent – that this remains a matter for the courts of law and also the Scottish football authorities whose rules are intended to uphold sporting integrity.
“In 2013, we expressed surprise – shared by many observers and supporters of the game - over the findings of the SPL Commission that no competitive or sporting advantage had resulted. That remains our view."
Kurz und knapp auf den Punkt gebracht.
