Pleased to see the Club recognised for CelticLive, the stadium WiFi and content imitative by the European Club Association. Anything which builds our profile at the ECA is welcome.
Today’s Telegraph assures us Newco Rangers chief executive, Graham Wallace, is set to leave the club with his plans to raise £4m at a pending share issue still in the balance. The newspaper further asserts the club is a “toxic brand” and is trying to secure an emergency loan from Newcastle United owner, Mike Ashley.
The club, which informed the Court of Session on Friday that it had only £1.2m cash left, and last night informed the Telegraph it was losing £1m per month, requires vastly more money than the £4m they are struggling to raise in order to finish the season.
Some credit is due to the Daily Record for their splash with photo and leader, “Rangers director Sandy Easdale and a criminal wanted by Interpol tried to negotiate an Ibrox bailout yesterday”. They are reporting two years after Paul McConville’s blog initially broke the news of said Interpol-interested character, Rafat Rizvi.
Rizvi, who can take refuge in the UK as we don’t have an extradition treaty with Indonesia, is allegedly wanted for corruption, money laundering and banking crime, denies the charges, which he has already been convicted of. He should fit in quite well.
As we said at the weekend, irrespective of short-term events, the long-term fundamentals remain unchanged. The only thing to be decided is which of the characters hovering around the carcase will get to pick on the bones.
All credit to Sir David Murray.

The Green Man you believe it’s okay to label people, incorrectly, those who vote differently to you?
You’re intimating that people are not basing their Vote on what they believe is best for Scotland,(for example on the economy) but basing their vote on the group YOU assign them to? Am I getting that right?
Those are some debating skills you have there.

That Standard Life sound like a great company to work for………
In January 2006, Standard Life were accused of smearing a policy-holder, Michael Hogan, who was not happy with the way the company was being run. An e-mail sent to Standard Life executives and advisors (which was disclosed under the Data Protection Act) revealed an attempt to discredit him.
In March 2007 the company announced it would cut 1,000 jobs in an attempt to save an additional £100 million per year in costs. One month later it was highlighted in the company’s annual report that three of Standard Life’s top executives (Sandy Crombie, Keith Skeoch and Trevor Matthews) were awarded more than £5 million in pay. A Standard Life spokesman defended the awards, citing the leadership’s efforts in turning round the company’s fortunes.
In February 2014, Standard Life announced that it may move parts of their operations outside Scotland in the event of Scottish independence, if it was necessary to do so.[26]
**************************************************************************************************
So to re-iterate, the announcement to move parts of operations was made in Feb. 14 but announced by media now as if it had only just come to this decision. Why?
——————————————————–
No. Standard Life released a statement yesterday :

kingoh – Anyway according to philvis if it’s a yes vote I can ride to work on my solid gold pony or even better a back to the future hoverboard but I’ll make a contingency for a no and have a look at the train times.
Vote Yes and all your wildest dreams* will come true!
*[Disclaimer] Your dreams may vary from those of Yes Scotland, its subsidiaries and affiliates. (thumbsup)
geordie munro – thumbs up to you sir. I don’t think Yes will win, but if you do, I hope it works out as well as you think it will. (thumbsup)
macjay1 – After all the “Salve, magisters” you have received,you must be bursting with an outrageous sense of self worth.
My thumbs are still aching! Thankfully I’ve never been lacking in the sense of self worth department.
I’m so vain, I probably thought that Carly Simon song was about me. (thumbsup)
Art of War,
Yep,Standard Life are are great bunch of lads.
Standard Life’s Far Right Board
Keith Skeoch, Executive Director of Standard Life, is on the Board of Reform Scotland, the neo-conservative lobby group which wants to abolish the minimum wage, privatize the NHS and pensions, and still further restrict trade unions.
It is difficult for Tories openly to campaign against Scottish Independence as everyone in Scotland hates them, so they do it with their corporate hats on. This is most of the board of Standard Life:
Garry Grimstone, Chairman, “lead non-executive” at the Ministry of Defence, London
Keith Skeoch, Executive Director, right wing political lobbyist
Crawford Gillies, Non Executive Director, Chairman of Control Risk Group, of London, the “security consultancy” of choice for ex MI5 and MI6 officers
Noel Harwerth, non-executive Director, Director of “London First”
David Nish – Chief Executive, Member of the “UK Strategy Committee” of “TheCity UK”. “TheCity UK” being a body of the City of London.
John Paynter, non-executive Director, was vice chairman of JP Morgan Cazenove until the 2008 crash
Amazing that lot oppose independence, huh?

—————————————————————-
RBS is a Group of companies – there are lots of them registered in different places, including (I would imagine) offshore. Their World Centre is at Gogarburn in Edinburgh but they have operations all over the world including lots of offices and branches in the UK.
Just checked the link on the stock exchange. Confirms London as head office and Edinburgh as “branch office”.Is the stock exchange web site allowed to lie?
SydneyTim,
Cheers. I maybe got carried away saying everyone;)
My point is, prior to independence our vote up here carries very little weight.
A vote for the con/dems in the last GE was obviously a protest at the previous appalling government ( by those who still think our vote counts)

No,pal,
A.N.C. voted ” Yes “.
Philvis,
I don’t think yes will win. 2:1 it’ll be I’m reliably informed.
I’m just on for the bants :)
Geordie. I agree with you , but have to ask the question , what happens if the SNP stand on the independence ticket (as they always do) at the 2015 general election and then win a majority of seats ? Is it like admin 2 ?
Natknow I am not unconcerned about the workers in gogarburn, Scotland will need their financial expertise whatever the result. I am sceptical of the scare tactics and hope that when people vote they look outside their own windows , take a deep breathe and decide the future , not listen to so called experts watching their own backs.

Right. Gloves off. I’m going to do that wee copy patsy thing you like to do.

MWD@ 7.21
“But being an intelligent man you know these bendy bananas HAVE already broken Purdah electoral rules.
It’s just that they have now got to appease 2 populations with differing wants in 2 countries or at least the majority of 2 countries.
It’s a hard battle that.”
If that was true, I am sure that Alex would have exploited it for all it was worth and the case would have been fast-tracked through an Embra Court of his choice, or the Electoral Commission, who have made speedy decisions on rule breaks before.
+++++++++++
What is your actual honest opinion of this? Not your opinion of what wee Eck might be thinking or doing.
However, if all those establishments, are run by English Basturts, then the decision will have been taken to have your cake and eat it- Alex will have decided that We’ll just make the allegation but not prove it and let it have whatever damaging propaganda/spin effect it can have- you know? The Brave Way.
++++++++++
can you substantiate that wee Eck has made that decision? I am basing my question on the fact that I have raised the Purdah question on here and I do not believe Wee Eck has raised the question at all. It is a question I have. An honest answer would be appreciated of your view on the Purdah rules and wether they are being broken?
As for teh facetious English Basturts. Wee bitty racist and I do not believe either myself or wee Eck has used this term even facetiously.
As I said yesterday, If “English/Brit” politicians take an interest in the referendum they are interfering/ arrogant/ breaking the rules/ after our oil and votes/ and/or panicking.
+++++++++
I do not have a problem with English/Brit (as you term it) politicians taking an interset in the referendum. i do however larf that they have stated they would leave it to the better Together leaders to campaign on there behalf and that it was for them to do the campaigning. That only last week David Ed and Nick had no plans to have a charge of the Elite Brigade towards kilts and shrotbreed. But alas then there is a wee poll they dinny like and it’s all hauns tae pump us. Get the big business bully boys oot and frighten the electorate into a non democratic vote tae inate the bargain. I’m sure you would have just loved all this during Labours devolution YES campaign?! You sneaking by your mirror this morning?
If they say nothing and do not come they are feart/ uninterested in us/ only interested in our oil/ and/or panicking they will have an adverse effect on “their” campaign.
+++++++++++
they should have been involved from the start. they should have implemented their wee promises at the start. It’s all just squeky bum stuff. However funny it is to watch I have no respect for panic merchants.
It is closed thinking. It relied upon the premise that they are serving two countries. Well not yet, they are not, unless the two you meant were England & Wales, or have we just forgotten Wales in all this?
+++++++
No closed thinkinig here. they are actually serving four countries in a Union. providing 2 polar opposite opinions across borders on various topics attempting to appease a Union within 1 border. go figure. Closed thinkiing eh?
I enjoyed that. I’ll need to partake in my wee +++++++ more often.
Over to you with bold and italics now.
MWD says AYE
Scotland is well endowed with natural resources, including food, fuel an educated population, a proud history and cultural heritage. (Those aspects of the history and culture that many on here are scared of have only come about since Scotland joined with England.)
We are told by the BT campaign that we will not be able to conduct our own affairs to our best advantage because we “need” the UK. We are too stupid, too poor and too small to take advantage of our bounty but don’t worry, our big neighbour will ensure that it’s all shared out properly. Just like it has been for the past 50 years.
That’s some way to deliver a verdict.

You must be looking at a different link to me. Here’s the London Stock Exchange page on the latest trading on RBSG shares. Under Company Information, the address is given as Edinburgh. But as I say – there are lots of companies in that Group. Some may be based in other places. Doesn’t change the point I was making earlier – I’d like jobs to stay in Scotland.

Johansen has been erratic recently. He has looked good at times but his passing is often poor.

I wonder what the reason(s) are for his poor form of late. I don’t recollect many criticisms of him last season.
Anyone got any ideas?

Currency union.
Is it a yes or a no from you?
What will the banks and big business do when the English are about to vote on the EU referendum in 2017/18?
What if it looks like there’s a possibility of a vote in favour of withdrawing from EU?
Will they threaten to move head offices to Paris, Franfurt??
This would afterall create a lot of uncertainty, and they don’t like uncertainty apparently.
Saying to no voters enjoy your orange walk, is like the Hun saying, your obsessed, childish and amateur, this is the thing with YES voters, the slagging you get from them for voting NO is silly. Let’s see what happens at the polls. ;)

——————————————————-
I’m sure not mate and agree that people should open their eyes. It works both ways. Some people see a business making contingency plans becasue of all the uncertainty and read that as some kind of political or establishment anti-Yes statement – some are even calling it “bullying”. I don’t – I just see business guys doing what they do – business.
The sooner the people of Scotland learn to stand together for the good of our country the better we’ll all be for it !!! Don’t vote because of religion or the football team you follow , vote for what u believe in , we all have friends who go to a different church or go to a different football ground but we all still regard each other as friends don’t forget that !!! vote for Scotland !!!!
Strange things in this trial verdict, South Africa surely not the same system as ours is it?
Neil lennon and McCartney,
He missing the brown lad.
He’s not been near last seasons level but I’m not sure I agree with the comments about the Italy game. The game I watched he completed more passes than anyone in the tally midfield.

To reassure their 6 million customers, who might have been spooked by the opinion poll suggesting that yes might win.
SydneyTim,
Pass.
Wanna talk about strikers?:)
All the problems we face today and in future we will face whether independent or as unionists. The difference is we can do something about those problems as an independent country, we cannot as part of the UK.

—————————————————–
They released an update statement to shareholders, customers etc. yesterday. So I mean no – it’s not old news – it’s an updated position and therefore new news. It relates to the indyref (which is apparently quite topical at the moment) and so was reported by the press.
What’s the problem?
Natknow I totally agree and want jobs to stay in Scotland. That’s the point isn’t it. Blackmail and threats don’t equal jobs. Customers and a thriving economy do. This is what I see. Agree that there are many arms to the group of companies. Threatening to move a head office that is already in London is a red herring.
