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 read about that a wee while ago.

     

     

    My own response has been to liquidate my capital and buy a smashing wee “condominium” here in the States.

     

     

    If it does really go mammary glands facing north, as many of the conspiracy nut jobs are predicting, I thought at least I’ll have a wee slice of beach paradise to sit on the porch and brew my own liquor of choice. If not, embdae fancy renting a holiday flat…? :o))

  2. get main page but when i try to get into forum it sends me to something different.

     

     

    bottom line is cant access forum.

  3. No sure where you get cospiracy from, it’s matter of fact, the good ole US has passed a bill allowing insurance companies to reduce payments, coming to UK at an insurance company near you soon.

    The most interesting thing about the world banks and the money they “create”, is that it only exists because of our belief in it. It’s just a figure on a computer screen. It neither exists in paper money, or more importantly gold.

     

     

    If the world population just turned around and said: “nah, you can all go forth and multiply with your imagined trillions”, they’d be rodgered.

    Anyone remember the home game in 1978-9 season when the DJ played the Grease tune You’re the One that I want about 5 times one after the other

    Torontony ….

     

     

    Yeah … those things … plus a few other things, of which I am not going to remind you (in case you have forgotten).

     

     

    I was going to try to convince her to come watch the game with us on the weekend, but, I’m not sure she would see me on my best behavior. Plus, given what you know, it might be best if I keep you two apart until, at least, the wedding reception. By that time, it will be too late for her to back out of the wedding, no matter what you may tell her!

  8. getting away from all this crap at ibox I reckon pl should everybody a boost and get commons all signed up before the weekend.also we need our strongest{stand no shit from the cloggers] team on sunday

  9. In summation, our very own John knew a thing, or two:

     

     

    Imagine there’s no heaven

     

    It’s easy if you try

     

    No hell below us

     

    Above us only sky

     

    Imagine all the people

     

    Living for today…

     

     

    Imagine there’s no countries

     

    It isn’t hard to do

     

    Nothing to kill or die for

     

    And no religion too

     

    Imagine all the people

     

    Living life in peace…

     

     

    You may say I’m a dreamer

     

    But I’m not the only one

     

    I hope someday you’ll join us

     

    And the world will be as one

     

     

    Imagine no possessions

     

    I wonder if you can

     

    No need for greed or hunger

     

    A brotherhood of man

     

    Imagine all the people

     

    Sharing all the world…

     

     

    You may say I’m a dreamer

     

    But I’m not the only one

     

    I hope someday you’ll join us

     

    And the world will live as one

     

     

    Aff oot.

    Celtic Park ,or Parkhead as it was then known.

     

     

    Saturday afternoon, 2.50, Jimmy Shand playing Whistlin’ Rufus, followed by, “Good afternoon everybody. Here are the teams for this afternoon’s match”.

     

     

    Absolute, pure majic.

  11. Bloody had to move all the way to Manchester to get onto CQN today/tonight

     

     

    See the things I do for CQN :-)

    Kenny Dalgish said he never saw the statement before he insulted the Celtic supporters who cared enough about the lies being told in the media to do something about it.

     

     

    All we did is tell the truth and in doing so expose the media for what they are. If they are right and we are wrong then in 2012 they all must have been wrong too. RIP Rangers indeed. Brass neck the lot of them.

     

     

    I admired Dalglish as a Celtic player and as a man when he stood up to very serious lies in the press. He is now on the same side of this argument as The Sun and News International. The irony.

  13. Hi everyone,

     

     

    Lennybhoy is having logging on tonight (far from the only one from what I hear) and asked me to post the followling on his behalf:

     

     

    Lennybhoy has a bus running for Sunday. Leaving Coatbridge @ 1200hrs. Anyone interested please email him for further details:

     

     

    Lennybhoycfc@gmail.com

     

     

    Thanks and Keep The Faith

     

     

    HAIL! HAIL!

  14. But the best of all, I’ve got my baby

     

    Oh, best of all, I’ve got my baby

     

    She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine

     

    And nothing’s going to bring me down, oh no

     

     

    MON THE HOOPS

    I lost a lot of respect for KD as a result of that interview. Bad enough if he wants to talk crap on his own behalf (even though he should know better), but even worse when he tries to tell us the same crap is or ought to be in our minds.

     

     

    Seems KD has regressed since leaving CP. He had the chance to learn everything from big Jock, about being a great manager and man, but clearly didn’t.

    Miss Prestonpans was “in discussion” on line with some Huns about our statement. I said ask them what part of the statement is untrue and also why is there no legal challenge to it.

     

     

    That was over an hour ago and so far radio silence, game set and match :-)

    Have we had a Sevconian cyber attack in retribution for our advert.

     

     

    Anyway Bhoys , I gave my ticket for Sunday away. Steadfastly said for 2 years that I would not attend a game with the Newco until we have justice for Newco and Oldco cheating.

     

    Have a feeling I’m gonny miss us pumping them and putting that vile support in their place.

    I have more respect for your efforts on this matter than Dalglish

     

     

    He inveigled himself into the Celtic supports affections by GIRU the press in 2000

     

     

    Now he does their work for him

     

     

    He’s too cute not to know what he’s doing.

     

     

    Regards.
