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).

    I’m from Stirlingshire. Loads of my peers were Aberdeen fans as they were successful at the time. Others were steered away from Celtic and Rangers by non-football parents that simple didn’t want them embroiled in the nonsense. Hibs didn’t really feature but Dundee Utd were a popular choice too.

  8. A thoroughly enjoyable morning on cqn if not a little celticless.

     

     

    Cheers guys.

    Career[edit]

     

     

    After completing his spell of National Service, Erskine began his football career with Hibernian.[1] He played in some other first team matches, including an East of Scotland Shield Final,[2] but never made a league appearance for the team.[3] Erskine later played for Peebles Rovers, Stirling Albion and Cowdenbeath.[4][5]

     

     

    Personal life[edit]

     

     

    An optician by profession, Roy Erskine is the maternal grandfather of professional tennis players Jamie and Andy Murray by his daughter Judith “Judy” Murray.[6][7] Erskine himself was a tennis player, but he was prohibited by the Scottish tennis authorities from continuing that sport actively after he became a professional footballer.[1]

    I am not sure about Guidetti.

     

     

    He’s been off form for too long to play in this one, imo.

     

     

    I would be happy with your selection, except Henderson for JG.
