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).

    Jings, I never realised ye were that auld :-)

     

     

    I do recognise what you’re saying even though it was before I was born. My da used to work on the buses with Andy Cameron and I know that a group of both Celtic and hun supporters (their respective friends) would meet before and after the derby games without any hostility.

  2. wonder how much the “monster mash” is betting on the Celtic …..

     

     

    be a pretty penny …..

    I expect a high enough arrest rate for the polis and the politicians to justify increased funding for FoCUS and a subsequent whitewash in the review of the OBaF Act.

    That is exactly what will happen.

    Eddie,

     

     

    Keep your daughter at home, or, at least follow the advice given a couple of days ago and try and book her into the Kerrydale Suite.

     

     

    No person’s safety can be guaranteed and that mob are gender indifferent.

    I have been unable to log on for two days, I use Internet Explorer as I assume lots of others do.

     

    I am just wondering when I am going to be able to log on.

     

    I am in the USA and am able to log on with my I-phone.

     

    I am just back from the Apple store in the Mall and was able to log on using one of their I-pads.

     

    I am on just now through newsnowCeltic……??

  6. MikeinToronto – Glad to hear that you’re bringing the old fella, great gesture and at times it’s hard to believe you’re a lawyer:)

     

     

    I’ll be at the club and will make sure the lads give the old fella a good welcome; I might even waive the entrance fee…..for him but not for you. Rolls and skwer slice pre-match so get there early and inhale a few of them, you can start yer diet on Monday.

    Glad to hear you have recovered so well. You are now my inspiiration!

     

     

    After doing my knee again a few years ago, I went from playing high level squash every day to basically walking the dog … that and my love of southern and french cooking added on about 25 lbs. pretty quickly … I’m 6’3″ and ballooned from about 200 to 225 lbs .

     

     

    my doc says I need to get my weight and cholesterol down, so I’m back on the bike a bit …

     

     

    met my partner (she is a health fanatic and a heart doctor!) … so needless to say I am much more active now! In fact, we went cross-country skiing last week, and ice skating last night … first time in years! Fell a few times so I am a bit sore today (sitting on a comfy cushion as I type this). But hopefully, it does the old ticker some good.

     

     

    Need to get in shape before the weekend… my blood pressure used to go through the roof watching the games against the zombies!

    I am reliably informed that under the umbrella of Health & Safety with a more than liberal dousing ‘The OB act’…

     

     

    … All manner of banners will be ‘confiscated’ before Sunday’s game – fire hazard, likely to cause offence, potential for incitement, etc, etc…

     

     

    Everything will be done to make it look like they’ve never been away from inside the stadium.

    You know fine well that, for the first time, the police and TV would hear someone singing it, be able to identify the culprits, and would demand that the Celtic fans be punished!

    Relating to your post – the populist bears shouldn’t be too disheartened.

     

     

    My offer was firmly rejected too. And I’d have thought mine’s was top pick.

     

     

    I was offering.

     

     

    2 Second Hand Ed McBain 87th precinct paperbacks (Good Condition)

     

    4 Bourbon creams (Out of box – good condition)

     

    Shots on my bike when I wasn’t using it (Raleigh – ML3 Area only)

     

    A ‘backie’ on my bike when I was using it (Raleigh – ML3 Area only)

     

    A roll of sticky-backed draught excluder (Unused – Still in box – Mint)

     

    3 pirate DVDs with the complete LOST series (Reasonable condition – visible scratching)

     

    A 5c Euro coin (Used – reasonable condition)

     

    A souvenir T-shirt from Playa Blanca, Lanzarote with the very Meta legend – My Mum & Dad went to Lanzarote and all they got me was this lousy T-Shirt. (Used – Will be washed. Possibly ironed)

     

    A Filter for a Dyson bagless vacuum cleaner (Unused – still in bag)

     

     

    Not even a phone call did I get. And I was going to put it all in a box for them.

    ============================

     

     

    the following worked for me

     

     

    close all your browsers

     

    open the following file in notepad

     

    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

     

     

    and add this line to the bottom of it and save

    then launch IE again and it worked fine

  24. Just read Phil’s latest piece and got me thinking. If Ashley is really a shrewd busineman and his sole aim is expanding Sports Direct while preying on weak sporting institutions with large (gullible) fan bases then wouldn’t the SFA / Hampden could be next in line?

  25. Just managed to get on tae CQN the noo! Obviously this clique thing is gettin’ wurs and wurs I tell ye!!

     

     

    Any news of possible signings before our next game vs Dundee 7th Feb…?

  26. Question for any lurkers on hun sites,do they ever discuss the EBT Tax Cheats,and the non payment of the loans?

  27. To get back on CQN I cleared out the cache in a Big Mike Ashley the tim stylee.

    I speak occasionally to an old aquaintance, who is a pub owner in S. Ayrshire. He is one of the more decent blue noses you will meet and has of recent developed a very health interest in golf…

     

     

    We have spoke of the EBT’s and Minty’s fairy dust charade over the decades. He assures me in hun “intelligent” debate, the EBTs, tax dodging issues and creditor shafting are spoken with hushed tones and awkward grumbling about “being deceived”. The irony indeed.
