SFO, IPO, hell will freeze before SFA act

1068

An appropriate course of action when you are the chairman or a non-executive director of a PLC when a fellow director and, until last week, chief executive, has been reported to the Serious Fraud Office for matters in connection with the company, would be to immediately contact the accuser asking for full and immediate disclosure of information which could materially affect investors and the company’s trading position.

The “compelling evidence that Messrs Green and Ahmad received a letter before claim in December 2012, having received previous correspondence, and chose to ignore it” sounds like a signed-for receipt.  If this was received before 22 December, the date of Rangers International FC PLC’s IPO, it is of critical importance that the board ask for sight of the evidence, irrespective of what Mr Green says about its existence.

This season’s Third Division has nine days to run and it would inconvenience many if these matters were brought to a head before then, but the duty of directors is clear; they cannot postpone attending to the interests of investors until after the football season.

Lawyers acting for RIFC PLC should politely request full disclosure from the other party, without delay.

Some in the SFA may be tempted to attempt another Grand Plan to prepare for and accommodate and almighty collapse at one club.  Grand Plans don’t work in these circumstances; the last one led to the current Lawyers at Dawn scenario.

We await the SFA acting in relation to RIFC PLC’s claim that Sevco 5088 Ltd, a company Craig Whyte is a registered director of, is part of their group.  This is in direct contradiction to an earlier representation made to the SFA, and breaks a condition of their membership of the Association.

Current SFA president, Campbell Ogilvie, is a former Rangers director.  My prediction is that hell will freeze over before he allows the SFA to act on this matter.  The SFA shall wilfully ignore its own rules.

    It’s a glorious mornin’ in ole Shangri La.

     

     

    In the ole greenhouse the green shoots are appearin’, and the wee birds are singin’ their wee hearts out.

     

     

    Ain’t life grand?

    Quonno

     

     

    Good points there.

     

     

    Personally I can wait 45 mins before going -I accept some cannot for a variety of reasons – just to be clear I am not advocating a mass piss up. Most folk want to enjoy the game and a couple of pints for me would be sufficient for me.

     

     

    In terms of revenue @ 3:00 per pint that would be approx £150 spending each year. PP

     

     

    One of the impressive design features at Emirates in both the cheap and dear seats ; you can wander along the aisles without anyone having to stand up to let you in/out. Also all seats padded and ample for the larger erse (before anyone else points out – like mine…)

     

     

    BT – Interesting point on www access. I am undecided on that -HT makes a valid point re distractions and loss of atmosphere.

    I’ve pulled the muscle at the front of my thigh whilst kidding myself that I can still play 5s.

     

     

    It is extremely painful and I’m struggling to walk even the morning after. Do you happen to have any recommendations?

    Sorry missed your reply.

     

     

    What is the date for the cycle?

    Yes and no if you get my drift :-)

     

     

    Did you get my DM on Twitter?

    A letter for Mrs BMCUWP ( mammy )

     

     

    Dear mrs CUWP’s, can you let BMCUWP senior ( tully57 mk2 ) oot for a few libations on Saturday. There is a meeting of minds, not seen for some time in establishments in Glasgow and it would be a shame if he were to miss out.

     

    I am a sensible sort of chap and I will keep him away from those nasty whiskey drinking bad bhoys ACGR and your easily led son. I will ensure he is poured….ahem ahem…put on a train at a sensible time, with me, as long as he wakes me up at Glengarnock. I appeal to your wonderful nature and the fact that you’ve been lumbered with him for 6 weeks in Murcia, and quite frankly must be sick of the sight of him.

     

    Please, please let him oot tae play.

     

     

    Yours PC67

  6. Just been on to ticket office. The seats that are getting moved are from row w back so they can bring all the fans closer to the pitch.

    I know, it’s a balance as kids can be easily distracted if not a lot happening on the pitch..

     

    just a consideration

  8. HT get some voltarol cream and rub on your Quad and try and keep weight off it as much as possible. If you can get some diclofenic tablets. After a day start some slow stretches.

     

    not seen your DM ( what is that ).

    you should have ice on the muscle or a bag of peas, whatever floats yer boat. Makes a real difference in recovery

  14. HT..

     

     

    no alcohol until pain under control.. really strong medication at the moment..

     

     

    gang hut fully stocked up as usual though.. o))

  15. HT Eh yep that should just about do it mate. Just remember when the Guinness is in you that you think everything is ok, that is when you will do more damage. But that can wait for Sunday.

  25. I haven’t posted for a while. Not since the LNS verdict.

     

    However, good to see the Lemmings are still chucking themselves off the precipice.

     

     

    Funniest joke of this whole saga, I can’t recall who posted it, was the one about the Hun on top of the stand at Celtic Park, threatening to chuck himself off….

     

     

    Laughed for weeks on that one!

     

     

    BTW: No I am not really PL.

     

    I was just making use of my acronym ‘cos all the Sevconians blame PL for all their woes anyway.

    @@@@@

     

    I’m no doctor but I wouldn’t put ice anywhere near your peas! And I would certainly not recommend ‘deep heat’!!! My eyes still water at the memory!

  27. was following Twitter on Wednesday night whilst I was down in London, came back last night and expected to see MSM all over the latest from Mordor , SFA in full attack mode and the padlocks on Furry Park. Was I a fool ? No, just a madman

     

    I agree 100% with the lead article, once again they will survive, even prosper, at the expense of well run clubs.

     

     

    As for NFL`s rant ? not his best work especiallly when we had such positive press all week.

  28. On a more serious note: can any of you legal/investment types clarify something….

     

     

    Is it legal, and is it entirely possible, that Sevconian major shareholders are deliberately propping up their share price by doing deals with each other to transfer shares back and forth, at higher prices, to artificially increase the basic share price?

     

     

    It seems to be a pattern that they have drop, drop, drop and then suddenly a sizeable jump in the price again.

     

     

    Why else would anyone buy shares at a higher price than the recently, lower price?

     

     

    Of course, why would anyone trade in worthless shares anyway but that is another story?!
