Anyone consuming media coverage would think that the on-going investigation into the registration of Rangers (since renamed RFC 2012) players over the last decade or so was the most pressing matter within The Rangers (until recently, Sevco). I really don’t think so, although it is a useful rallying flag. The EBT issue is not short of drama but there are more immediate concerns.
More importantly, I hear The Rangers are still trying to raise the initial £10m Founding Investors capital. The Sevco Investor Presentation offered these Founding Investors two shares for each one purchased, “effectively doubling their contributions” ahead of a stock-market floatation later this year. My understanding is they hope to raise £20m at that floatation, without the two-for-one share incentive, in order to see them through several years in the Scottish Football League and at least four years without European income.
If/when this matter materialises, remember, in 1994 Fergus looked you in the eye and allowed you to buy into Celtic at exactly the same rate he and the other early investors did. This model worked, anyone hoping to emulate Fergus’ success would do well to offer fans the same terms.
The size of the total capital requirement may be as much of a disincentive to early investors as the terms currently on offer. If you put significant sums in now and the floatation fails to deliver enough cash to allow the company to continue trading, your investment is at risk. I hope Laurel and Hardy at Hampden haven’t deleted their Armageddon slides.
Even selling 40,000 adult season tickets for Ibrox at £268 each would bring in only £9m (ex-vat), so there is a good chance this company will burn cash reserves for some time, assuming they pay taxes, of course, which was apparently optional for some in the recent past.
Target closing date for Foundation Investors was 6 July with Q3 / Q4 slot for floatation on the AIM market, so we should be seeing a prospectus sometime soon if plans are back on track. If Charles Green pulls this off he deserves some sort of Businessman of the Year award.
Anyone who thinks the drama is over still hasn’t realised the enormity of the situation.

Hereslookinatyoukid CSC
Films is it?
My personal top five
Casablanca
Angels with Dirty Faces
Duck Soup
Midnight Cowboy

For those interested in Eastern European films here are a few you should see
Czechoslovak films
Fireman’s Ball (very funny film directed by Milos Foreman who did Cuckoo’s nest)

Polish films
Ashes and Diamonds
Three Colours (some of it in French)
Dekalog
Russian films
Battleship Potemkin (silent)

I’m sure Zbyszek or Sk-Bhoy would be able to tell you some even better films and possibly some more recent films from their countries.
My pal Dusan hates Hollywood movies and loves European films. I can see his point sometimes but there you go.
Film Noir
Sunset Boulevard
Key Largo

Champions League tickets arrived in post this morning….roll on the games.
On the film discussion…agree with many of the choices would offer Leon and Ronin as two enjoyable films.
Belgium looked outstanding last night…think result would have been the same despite Collins being sent off. Scotland will do well to compete in this group.
Pleased to see we are competing in the next gen competition again this year invaluable experience for the young Hoops.
Watching with interest events next week and wonder going by previous history what time they choose to reveal findings with so many mid midweek games coming up.
Hail Hail
I’m not a big fan of foreign films but Benigni’s,”Life is beautiful” brilliant,sad at the end though.Who would have thought you could make a comedy set in a concentration camp?!
Oops forgot to mention “Midnight Express” Who started this thread anyway? Must be an International weekend.Hail Hail Hebcelt
EC67
Aye, i’ll need to text him later for times etc
Waterproofs maybe the order of the day.
See you tomorrow
Shrek.
Nice wee touch last night, Belgium 8/11 and 13/5 – 1 goal.
If you ever get a chance see a film called Cache ( Hidden) by Michael Haneke.
You won’t forget it CSC

Goodfellas
Casino
Some Like it Hot
The Lost Weekend

Having decided that Scotland is run by the Jesuits, FF plans to fight back. The schools are first:
“Scotland may end up the only country in the world that holds on to seperate
schools.
These will never be abolished because it’s the RC’s that are running the country.
A minority religion in the country where they command positions of power in
every area including politics, media, health & the law. it’s really quite scary.
Anyone who thinks RC schools will get the boot are deluded.
Their ultimate aim is to have the flag of the Vatican flying over the
Scottish parliament. Part of a grand jesuit plan as was mentioned by a poster
earlier.”
——————
“I grew up in Coatbridge and while there are many decent loyalists living there I can assure you that being a protestant is akin to being a leper. The RC community led by its political leaders is slowly closing down non denominational schools and even nurseries some of which they even have the cheek to convert to RC ones. Of course you’re not allowed to bring this up becuase that would be classed as bigotry.
They’ve created a St Patrick’s Day WEEK believe it or not and of course St Andrew’s Hospice (which does some brilliant work) is the main charity that pervades all walks of life. In order to prove that they are not bigotted the non-denominational schools are forever raising money for this RC run hospice.
And just for good measure Gaelic Football is flourishing in schools with teams, prizes and trophies named after IRA men. Of course just to show how inclusive they are the nondenominational schools are encouraged to take part. But then we all know the IRA weren’t sectarian.”
—————–
“As Bernstein and Woodward were told, you have to ‘follow the money’ ……..and it will always lead you to the Jesuits in Glasgow (as other posters have pointed out).
They (and their foot-soldiers) have infiltrated all our great institutions in Scotland and destroyed our influence over a long period of time like a horrible cancer. The Orange Order, our Masonic Lodges, our legal system (with the PF’s Office at the heart) and even our great Club itself have all been inftrated and systematically weakened, while their institutions (like Opus Dei) have flourished. Where once a hard working, God-fearing loyalist filled a position, we now have at least 2 destructive Declans making sure things go their way.
We need to wake-up to this before it is too late (if that point has not already passed). It only takes good men to do nothing for this evil to prevail.
Watp”
——————
“Their hate and bile is taught in the home, their separate schools just enhance these directives. Getting rid of their separate schools won’t stop the hate being taught at home. Quite frankly I don’t want my kids exposed to their hate in a singular school system.
They can keep their separate schools imo.
If that makes me a bigot, then sorry for looking after my kids.”
——————-
I’m developing a liking for Coatbridge.
Everyone’s choices on here are all just so good. How about the worst films ever made? So bad,they’re good. I just looked this up. Some of it is hilarious :

On an international weekend I cannot believe we have not the source of many Tartan Army classics,
The Sound of Music.
Hypocrites jubilee parade in Airdrie today.
Thanks to the tax dodgers of the country the poor princes don’t have a stitch to wear but this little detail won’t stop Sevco’s “finest” being out in large numbers.
