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.

As this will be private property,it will be ‘enforcement’ by a private company. Therefore it cannot be a ‘fine’; they are attempting to levy a charge under a contract that the driver impliedly accepted by parking there. They wiil write to the registered keeper (who seems to morph into the owner in their eyes); the RK is under no obligation whatsoever to inform them of the driver’s details
The ‘invoice’ is unenforceable unless they take you to the court; where they would need to prove that you were the driver at the time and therefore liable, that any notices were both clearly visible and valid, that the driver impliedly accepted the contract by parking having seen and read the notices, that the charge is proportionate with any loss or reasonable cost and is not at all punitive.
THEY DONT GO TO COURT! Ignore it. :0)

Is it a council car park? I had an issue with an underground car park once. They sent many demands debt collectors etc but all bluster. Legally I don’t think there is much they can do.

Mister pedantic winkel picker using the space button after a comma is regarded as being amongst the minimum standards of decent punctuation.
You really don’t do irony by complaining about punctuation while messing up your own.

We don’t know, thats my point.
If injuries weren’t such a huge problem at Celtic it would be easy to write off Thomas as just ‘injury prone’.
It is also my point that it is a mistake to lose a good young player who loves Celtic and is full of potential.
I would persevere with Rogne,and offer him 2 years with a year’s option.How many games has Kayal played/missed since he signed ?

Celtic are the best thing that will ever happen to Thomas. The rewards are not financial, they will come anyway.
I sense it is weakness of spirit and we need men of utmost Faith.

I was still in Kilwinning when they pushed the boat out for Flo.
I was gobsmacked,tbh.
They were,IIRC,twelve points behind us,and he wasn’t even eligible to play for them in Europe!
He was a disaster for them-most of his goals were scored when they were already in front,and if Sunderland paid £6m for him,it must have included his wages.
The move pretty much ruined his career.
So let me get this right, Thomas Rogne who has made less than 50 starts for Celtic in nearly 3 years (due to be a delicate wee lamb) is making demands that he will walk if not treated with the proper respect in contract terms?

We are not losing him, we have offered a contract based on his performances and contribution to the first team.
It is up to Rogne to accept it or move on.

It`s the old story…in whatever enterprise.
Doesn`t matter how good you are if you`re not there when it matters.
Hope Rogne will stay with us,because I get the impression his heart is in the right place AND I think he has ability and a real future.
Not to mention the goals he has scored.

Spotted Kilwinning in your post and remembered getting the train down to prestwick about 6 weeks ago before flying out to Barca.
I think it may well have been written in the stars that Kilwinning would be a hun stronghold simply by looking at the name of the place in Gaelic…

A son of Dan
Charles green has repeatedly claimed he is here for the short haul
With this sale of shares to sevco supporters, I am not sure if
a) The current owners of sevco are selling their own shares.
b) The current owners of sevco are inviting new investment in addition to their own
If the answer is b, and the current sevco owners (whoever they may be) want to take a return on their money now, the I imagine it will take a few million of the sevco supporters cash to cover that issue, then and only then, will any remaining left over cash be used for day to day operations at ibrokes.

Rogne is imo wrong to demand more cash(in public) he has though every reason to feel agrieved if Kayal was awarded an improved offer,
his fit notes are harder to come by that points at an ATOS interview
Anyone else completely uninterested in the Scotland game tomorrow?
Eyes on the Benfica game already…
Oops sorry Petec, I should add my comment to the post above too :)
I too believe we need men of utmost faith! What will happen if we reward our faithful players with similar paycuts though?
If it was an offer of a deal with the same pay and not a cut I could understand it better and be less bemused.
Rogne talks faithfully no? Even picked up a wee bit of a Glesga twang lol.
Dunno what makes you so convinced about Efe so soon.

It seems to me more that he is complaining about getting a pay CUT as opposed to demanding higher wages..

pay cut seems unreasonable
And here is a real tribute to the Man managing Rangers, the Man that has given East Kilbride so much.

“bunching and indecision”, definitely an Ally tactic.

I really don’t like talking badly about others but swally pushes me pretty hard. Not because he is smart or anything but he is the face of the deception, he is the face of every Scottish journalist who has no balls to stand up and embrace the, for want of a better phrase, new age of journalism in Scotland.
This site is quite exceptional given it’s quality of submissions from the Real heavyweights of CQN, and that is all.
There are so many other Football fans out there in Scotland, I mean real Legendary football fans that Scotland must be allowed to hear.
BRTH, Estad,JF,P67 and even Philvisreturns.
The MSM is Murdering Scottish Football more than anyone ever did. The Blood is splattered all over these suppressors.
Aikibhoy – But there’s nothing in the quotes to suggest he’s been offered a pay cut, only in the sensational headlines.
He’s been offered a “much worse” deal, in comparison to other players, not in comparison to his previous salary.
Have we seen this media behaviour before? Should we know better than to show blind trust?
WEE SHAUN
Sorry,was busy doing something else there,but fortunately a wee text has alerted me to your latest,erm,effort.
To start with,winklepicker is one word. Even when you spell the firs part correctly.
A space button after a comma has NEVER been accepted as good punctuation.
Also,once again you have missed out any punctuation whatsoever either side of the word “genius”,which I suggest reinforces my point.
Unless of course you are trying to draw attention to it…….
Next,it is polite to time-reference the post with which you have a problem.
Some of us,while NOT schizophrenic,are able to discuss more than one topic at any given time,and have the occasional other post littering the blog.
Finally,the only time I can see the word “we” in our little tete-a-tete is in your 1319 post.
Just before “independance”
Your call.

——————————-
The articles are very vague too. The only quotes the gave are..
“It’s frustrating as I enjoy it at Celtic and want to stay.”
and
“This is about the economy. I have played when I have been healthy and I feel I should be paid like the other players in that category, but the deal has been much worse. The salary must reflect my value.”
Would love to hear the whole interview. If it was on a media conference at CP I would imagine they will show it on CelticTV at some point.
