    Bank Error in your favour - collect £200

    "Like many within Scottish football, including supporters and other observers, we are surprised by the parallel conclusion that no competitive advantage was gained from these arrangements. ?
    (Celtic FC Statement)

    You curse you're luck. The dice were kind to you and you landed fair square on Park Lane having rolled the required eight, courtesy of a double 4. However at £350 this property is more than you can afford at present. Your next throw sees you roll an eleven where you safely pass go and collect £200 from the bank. You?re opponent meantime rolls a 7 and also lands on Park Lane. You can see from his finances across the table he is unable at present to afford the much coveted property.

    But to your abject horror he pulls out a Community Chest Card ? Glasgow City Council/Celtic FC ? and acquires Park Lane for the knock-down price of £175. Furthermore as he passes Go he collects a favourable£600 as opposed to your £200, courtesy again of his ?exclusive deal? with Co-op Bank.

    Why did the OP not the source for this cut and paste job? Was it because it just another bun blogger.


    As for the co-op deal McCann shopped around because the bank of scotland who had wanted to shiut down Celtic because of an overdraft were playing hardball. The same bank that Murray used to banroll through loans the entire time he was in charge at Rangers.


    “I had taken them completely off the hook. They were never going to collect the £5.2million they were owed otherwise. Ten months later, after the bank had been fully paid off, Charles Barnett, Celtic’s interim financial director, went to BoS to learn what they could offer in loan finance.

    “Their proposal was £2.5million fully secured – little more than an insult.

    “Later, we obtained £10million unsecured from the Co-op Bank in Manchester.

    “What I resented enormously was trying to do a business deal in Scotland and being treated that way.”
