Populist instigators without a plan

739

Loved the statement issued by the ‘3 Bears’ last night.  They protest that their offer to Rangers International was superior to the offer from Sports Direct, which was accepted.  What the sharp-eyed PR wizard didn’t figure when delivering the statement, though, is:

The board need 75% shareholder permission to dis-apply shareholder pre-emptive rights and create sufficient shares to allow the 3 Bears to fund their proposed share issue.

Support of the Easdale proxy block is needed to pass this dis-application.

Knowing they needed Easdale support, when the board asked if they would drop the EGM resolution to remove James Easdale from the board in order to make their proposal viable, the 3 Bears declined.

Consider the conversation:

A. “We’ll fund a share issue.”

B. “That needs Jimmy’s agreement.  Will you drop your plans to sack him?”

A. “No.  We’re still going to sack him.”

B. “Can’t do, Jimmy’s not going to vote for that.”

A. “It’s all your fault for not accepting our perfectly well thought-out proposal.”

It’s astonishing how shoddy an operation these clowns have.  I know no one in the media will explain the reality to fans, nor will they believe anything they read here.  When populist instigators for change have no viable plan, a club is deader than Rangers (mark I).

    Open iplayer and scroll down an inch or so, on the left side of the screen there’s an option to ‘Change Location’

     

    Choose ‘Scotland’ (above the English districts)

     

    It’s that simple.

     

     

    I live in Germany and although I tried the location thing, it doesn’t seem to work outside UK. Anyone have a work around?

  2. Just back on after 24 hours ‘sans CQN’!

     

     

    Well if that’s what hell feels like I’d better be a good Bhoy for the rest of my days!

     

     

    Snowy and icy in dunblane when I left this morning. Stunning though.

     

     

    What did miss? Fall outs, calling outs, daftie shouts?

    It’s just a land grab pure and simple. They feel they have a god given right to be there and will do everything they can to degrade the Palestinian state. Keep forcing them back and keep building settlements.

    The Holocaust was 000’s of years in the making. Jewish people and persecution is not a new thing but after the horrors of World War 2. Many asked why they never fought back, well now they are fighting for their very existence and some people don’t like it. 000’s of years against 60 or 70 is a slight imbalance don’t you think? Besides Israel would open their borders tomorrow if there was no threat from its neighbours. 1.6 million Arab Israeli’s already live happily amongst it’s population where all peoples are welcome to practice their faith. Far from being a closed society Israel while not perfect is the most secular society in the Middle East today. It’s just a tragedy that so many nut cases would rather see it obliterated from the map than love peacefully beside it. There in lays the problem. Never again (referring to The Holocaust). Only once extremism becomes diluted will peace and prosperity come to the poor Palestinian people living in Gaza & the West Bank. Until then nobody can expect Israel or even Egypt to open its borders to terror on a mass scale or not respond to attacks from all sides on its people.

     

     

    It’s an emotive subject I know but far from the black and white picture painted buy sections of our media. Perhaps the 70 years anniversary of The Holocaust and the recent rise in anti-semitism across Europe will open some eyes.

     

     

    HH!

  8. well thanks to paul , i have finally got my log in back and can now start posting again. be prepared for some highly educated comments or crap as some may describe it

    Oh to be a ” Football Expert ” .

     

     

    Italian radio feature re the ” Crisis at the 2 Milan Clubs” .

     

     

    Seems the poor souls combined make less money from TV than Stoke City and who has heard of them ?. Add falling season ticket sales , add falling attendance and you have 2 clubs who can no longer afford / attract ” top players ” .

     

     

    No mention of the fact that the current Inter squad cost @ 160 million euros . No mention of the fact that the relatively new owner of Inter paid off a lot of their debt by selling off future TV earnings / image rights etc.. No mention of the fact that Mancini is the highest paid Manager in Serie A .. No mention of the wages paid to a squad which the support perceives as ” not giving a **** ”

     

     

    Inter play Palermo this weekend . On current form Palermo will beat them..

     

     

    Lovely Sunny 18 degrees at 10 am -way down south.

  11. BT –

     

     

    You should have left it and I would have been thinking my TV was way behind and I would have been on my knees fiddling with knobs.

     

     

    Ooh matron!

  12. RIP Kel Nagle.

     

     

    My memory of Kel takes me back to Belfast of the late 60’s where I was caddying in the Gallaher Ulster Open and there he was, the sun-tanned Open champ re-splendid in green cardigan, sharply pressed canary yellow trousers and highly polished shoes making his way to the first tee.

     

     

    It sounds naff now but the scene has remained vivid in my memory all these years.

    Why not subscribe to Celtic tv?

     

    or

     

    iplayer will not work for you in Germany. As I’m on a boat in a marina the wifi is shared and therefore not secure. I use Hotspot Shield from http://www.hsselite.com/

     

    I subscribe (£24 ish per year) and the Elite version allows me to choose a virtual location from 9 locations worldwide including Germany. There is a free limited version but I don’t think that the free version has UK as an option, you would have to email them.

     

    If you install it (not difficult) you would have to make sure it’s running with a UK location chosen every time you log onto iplayer, forget once and it’s a bugger to reconfigure.

    Ooopla !

     

     

    Sorry —————-Inter do not play Palermo this weekend -they play Sassuolo . On current form Sassuolo have every chance of beating them .

  17. BT

     

    I thought you were saying you got access to the main roads through celtic news, the wonders of internet:-))

  18. Updates are really helpful when you can’t see the sporting event live.

     

     

    But they have till now lacked the passion, uncertainty and ‘what’s really happening?’ Craziness of the actual event……until now.

     

     

    Step fwd Mr Blantyretim!

     

    ;-)
