The momentum for a confederated regional league in Eastern Europe continues to gather pace with clubs from Belarus keen to join. With a population of around 10m, Belarus is sandwiched between Russia, Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states, but their league has been rendered uncompetitive by the domination of Bate Borisov, who are on their way to eight-in-a-row titles.
Bate, who are now Champions League regulars, have no opportunity to progress while the rest of the league do not have the resources to compete with them. A regional league would solve all their problems.
Russian and Ukrainian clubs are aiming to have a confederated league in place by the start of 2014, with sponsors thought to be keen to step forward and underwrite whatever is necessary to smooth the way, but the Ukrainian FA suggest 2016 is a more viable date.
Scottish football stands to gain more from regionalisation than anywhere else on the planet. We need to have this debate before blindly stumbling into another Management of Decline while legislators in Minsk leave us behind!
Today is the last guaranteed posting date for CQN Annuals before Christmas, so if you haven’t ordered yet, this is your chance.
Many thanks for the tremendous support of the Annual in recent weeks. We have shipped lots to Australia, Canada and USA, across various European and Asian countries, and to hundreds of towns and cities across Scotland, England and Ireland. Even Ayrshire!
Last guaranteed date before Christmas. You can order the CQN Annual here!

apoligies for the use of the term rangers…SEVCO…i’m willing to to nominate myself for some extreme torture for my fallacy.
Shortbread discussing share issue flop now…
the sevco share issue can go 2 ways imho
if it succeds….they get the cash to limp on till they reach the spl
if it fails ….chuckles will be offski with any loose cash leaving TFPLG and walturd to some bear on bear action

That 30 million is being reported as raised is ludicrous enough in itself. The fact that it’s a gainfully employed journalist delivering the hilarity will make my Christmas all the more merry. Thanks Jim!
Maybe Chuckles saw The Producers, where a flop could be more profitable than a success (because no-one would expect their money back) & hopes that’ll work for him.
If they have raised £22 million then that will be more than enough to see them through their cash flow issues.

My guess is they got somewhere between 3 & 4 million from fans and I reckon the entire exercise cost circa a million to set up leaving about 2 or 3 million net from fans which willl just about cover what they will lose from here to end of season. As I have said so often that I’m boring myself, I just can’t believe that this so called 17 million from “Institutional Investors” is on the level. Keepingmypowderdrycsc.

Andrew, but what will they do in the following seasons? They can’t have an IPO every Christmas!
Ukip exposes the darkness in its soul.

Cue the “remarkable” and “world record” guff on the MSM.

They cannot lie about the number of shares bought.

A onesie (as in all in one) is an adults Version of the baby grow. One garment to cover the whole body.
A “hunsie” is a recent term for an old Yorkshire garment which also covers the whole body making it invisible. It was first mentioned in the fable “the emporer’s new clothes”
Theprinceof goalkeepers.
They won’t need to.
They will not lose £22million over the next 2.5 years.

News about The Rangers on SSN.
TFPLG comments on the physicality of the league, but then mentions the quality!
I don’t mean the lsck quality, he was seriously suggesting they are playing in s quality league, no need for promotion then.
Good.
Below is part of an article from the Scotsman.com
I can think of another one can you?
WORST ADVERT FOR SCOTTISH FOOTBALL:
The travails of Bristol Rovers. Managed by Mark McGhee, who was on the verge of the Scotland job just a few years ago, and with three highly-regarded SPL players in the shape of fairly-recent Scotland caps Garry Kenneth, David Clarkson and Derek Riordan in his squad, you might have expected the Gas to make reasonably light work of League Two. Instead, McGhee has been sacked with Rovers stuck in the second-lowest spot in English football.
I’m takin’ it that the aforementioned recipe is the Glasgow version of this:

Andrew67, There hasn’t been any official stockmarket announcement yet, all we are getting is unofficial estimates. Some of these Institutional purchases could be original investors getting their “Loans” repaid by converting them into paid up shares. I will wait for smoke to clear before I believe anything.

Agreed, but from approx £20M raised they’re talking about spending £9M for necessary repairs/upgrade of stadium, £2M IPO costs, purchase and redevelopment of Edmiston club, and a couple of million (at least) in operating costs to see them through this season alone.
Prison sentences can go up on appeal…
….but I forget, they’re a pair of wee harmless hunnies….aaawwww….poor diddums…..they’re a cute irnbru colour and they love ra kween….set them free…
….next time they’ll get it right.
The Prince of Goalkeepers might that be £9m to lease the stadium? Under the guise of repairs.
Are they appealing against sentence, conviction or both?
Over on thickhunmedia the champagne corks are popping at the thought of the 500 million sevconians raising approximately 0.01p each.
A truly outstanding feat. The really don’t do dipping their hands in their pockets unless they’re looking for their nitro-glycerine.
£5million from sevco hordes……so the rest of the £22million is Monopoly money, to be disregarded as hokum.

May well be, as you will be aware Paul67 put up an article on this very subject fairly recently.
Weren’t they also talking about buying back the much-fabled car park? That may take another million or 2 out of the pot.
Might have raised enough to repair Poundland.
Ntassoolla 18:04 on 18 December, 2012 Are they appealing against sentence, conviction or both?
………………………………………………..
Radio Scotland this afternoon said they were appealing the conviction and sentence. I think there’s a story on the BBC site about it and someone posted a link earlier.
They’re appealing their convictions.
However, their unappealing convictions will land them in the dock again.
SSB completely ignore Celtic’s gesture………. They really are a sorry lot…….
If a conviction is appealed the sentence automatically falls under that remit.

CQN Annual
Are there any other methods of payment apart from PayPal accepted for the CQN annual?
I am US based and have been trying to order copies for delivery to family in UK, however PayPal does not allow me to change my US shipping address to a UK shipping address. Any information or assistance would be much appreciated.
