    It would cost at least £300k.

    That the shares fall further.

    Green and Ahmad were in discussion about investment on Wednesday morning and a certain Mr Easdale is also in the frame (allegedly).

    It's known as risk control.

    It's not strange at all. If he wants to gain control of the Club he is far better taking out another investor, plenty of time to invest his millions once he has control. I suspect he'll have paid somewhere between 0.2% and 0.5% plus stamp duty, petty cash for him anyway.

    If my short term memory is still working wasn't the match postponed before any call ups had been announced? At that point Gasparotto was on loan and Zaliukas wasn't in the team. Now Mohsni is suspended Zaliukas might be closer to the team but we also have McGregor to play along side our no.1 choice and Foster for RB; so what's the issue for a game at Cowdenbeath who are propping up the League? Might be one for the "away fans" rep on that new fangled Fans Board

    I think it's self evident that, above all else, most if not all fans want to see a successful team on the park; and it's my opinion that if that were the case the vast majority would not care a jot who was sitting in the Board room. That is not to say that I agree with everything the Board has done or even how they go about the Club's business. Sorry no time to get into this today as I am off to a funeral. The main point I wanted to make to this new poster was that it was entirely unnecessary IMHO to make reference to notorious killers in order to make his point.

    As I said I understand and agree with his point that success on the filed is paramount (and whilst I don't like the football it is arguable whether Ally has failed to deliver since we have won the two promotions required of him and BTW I think he's tactically clueless) BUT I see no need for references to notorious killers.
  9. BrahimHemdani
    Whilst I agree with the point you are making, I feel that you could make it quite well without reference to the notorious murderer Dr Crippen and the even more notorious leader of the Khmer Rouge. Whatever crimes our Board may be guilty of, murder and genocide are not among them.

    I think that's highly unlikely. In England the EPL largely finance SD and in Scotland it's the SG working with and through the SFA/SPL. They're not going to pay money to folk who advocate a boycott of their clubs or investor's businesses now are they?

    Daly can't last 90 mins and Clark might help Boyd score a goal.

    Rangers Football Club has accepted the offer of a fixed suspension of two games for Bilel Mohsni following an SFA Notice of Complaint. Due to SFA disciplinary procedures, this punishment will become a three-game suspension for the defender following his red card in the pre-season friendly at Derby. However, the club has not accepted the offer of a two-game fixed suspension for Kris Boyd and the player will appear at a Principal Hearing next week. http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/7780-mohsni-boyd-update That's 4 times he's been ordered off or found guilty of an equivalent red card offence in 13 months at the Club, is this a record?

    SEPT. 27, 2014 PARIS — The chairman of BNP Paribas, France’s largest bank, is stepping down as the institution seeks to move beyond the fallout from its guilty plea and nearly $9 billion in fines in the United States for its dealings with blacklisted countries. The chairman, Baudouin Prot, 63, will leave on Dec. 1 after more than 30 years with the bank, the board said in a statement late Friday. His departure was widely expected. He will be replaced by Jean Lemierre, a former head of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Before he became chairman three years ago, Mr. Prot was chief executive from 2003 to 2011. He is credited with helping guide BNP Paribas through the global financial crisis and into the ranks of the world’s biggest banks. Mr. Prot’s reign, however, may ultimately be remembered more for the landmark criminal case brought by prosecutors and regulators in Washington and New York after the bank was accused of illegally transferring billions of dollars on behalf of countries blacklisted by the United States, including Sudan and Iran. While other major banks, including Standard Chartered and HSBC, have been caught up in such affairs, the United States authorities were particularly incensed that BNP had ignored warnings and then refused to cooperate with the investigation. After months of stormy negotiations, in which the French government lobbied on the bank’s behalf, BNP agreed in June to plead guilty and pay $8.9 billion in fines to settle the case, the largest such judgment ever. Recent news reports that Mr. Prot would resign indicated it was his choice to leave. In its statement, the board lauded his leadership, saying it was “grateful to Baudouin Prot for his total commitment during the financial crisis of 2007-2011.” The statement did not mention the American investigation. BNP reported net profit last year of 4.8 billion euros, or $6.1 billion. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/28/business/international/bnp-paribas-chairman-to-step-down-as-french-bank-seeks-to-shed-stigma.html?_r=0

    Of course they're a worldwide bank, the fact they are based in France may mean nothing at all.
  16. BrahimHemdani
    Yes, BNP Paribas Arbitrage SNC appear to be the French stockbroking arm of the bank so that makes it almost certain that the purchase is on behalf of a private investor or group of investors.
  17. BrahimHemdani
    Given that they say that they mostly invest in French companies, I'd say it's unlikely that they have bought on their own account. However, they do have a range of unit trusts like Artemis & R&M, so it's not impossible that they bought for one of their range. At 20p it's fairly attractive I would think, well more so than at 70p! That said they are absolutely massive "with total assets under management of €492 billion, BNP Paribas Investment Partners is the 6th-largest asset manager in Europe." If I had to put money on it, I'd say a private investor and perhaps with French or other "overseas" connections but that would just be speculation. I'm trying to find out more.

    FS may well be correct but they might have been bought for their own account BNP Paribas Principal Investments manages the Group’s portfolio of listed and unlisted investments and emerging market sovereign debt. Listed Investment Management The Listed Investment Management unit acquires and manages minority interests in listed companies on behalf of the Group. Investments are generally made in large caps and the portfolio comprises mostly French companies. The unit’s mission is to extract the greatest possible value from its assets over the medium-term. Unlisted Investment Management The Unlisted Investment Management unit manages the Group’s portfolio of interests in unlisted companies (direct and indirect through funds). It identifies and analyses investment opportunities, structures transactions, manages investments with a view to extracting value in the medium-term and organises the disposal of mature investments.

    I think it was probably wrong to suggest they were "dumped" on the market. For a broker to take on that amount of shares he would almost certainly have to have a buyer lined up or even more likely the seller would have the buyer lined up through the broker. It's also possible that the seller may have asked the broker to let him know as and when he had a buyer for that volume at a given price.

    ..... a shareholder SOLD at the trade price stated.
  21. BrahimHemdani
    They're just more common words for the same thing. The words are not wrong at all but your reasoning was a little off (see I like to be polite). I'd say they are indeed informative which is why they are more easily understood by most people even although in the case of shares they do not normally reflect the actual price at which shares are bought or sold; but you could equally use my reasoning to say that they are just decorative. The "trade" price i.e. the price at which the shares are traded (bought or sold) is the most important price. This should not be confused with the trade price of a car, for example, which may or may not be the price at which you buy or sell a car. I was taught to use Bid and Offer (price) but they have been replaced gradually by "Selling" and "Buying" price. "Ask" is a term that is almost always restricted to share transactions but ask/offer/buying price mean the same thing or as close to the same thing as makes no difference.
  22. BrahimHemdani
    Wrong; but I was trying to give you the explanation of why you were not quite correct rather being strident about it. A BUY or SELL are not so named because the prices are near to the ASK or BID price nor are they in any way relevant to the size of the deal. It is simply the case that they are alternative (perhaps more common) names for the same thing.
  23. BrahimHemdani
    That's not quite correct. The "Ask" price, more commonly referred to as the "Offer" price is the price at which a seller indicates they will sell shares. It is not necessarily the price paid by a buyer. If it was a unit trust then the Offer price usually would be the selling price since there is no element of negotiation. The "Bid" or "selling" price is the price at which a buyer in the market indicates he is prepared to buy the stock; it is not necessarily the price at which the stock is bought. If it was a unit trust it is normally the price at which the units are sold but that is not always true; but I'll spare you those technicalities. The "trade" price as the name suggests is the price at which the shares were actually traded. It is unusual to see the trade price below the bid price but in this case it will reflect the volume of shares sold in a thin market. The "mid market price", is calculated as half way between the bid (21p) and offer (24.0p) price, so 22.5p and the notional value of the company is calculated as that price times the number of shares in issue, 81.48m giving a value of £18.33m.

    Can't see it being Laxey as they have just upped their stake, so my money is on R&M or Artemis cutting their losses, only other contender would seem to be Hargreave Hale. BP is a possible but they only had 4m before the recent offer so if they bought more, why sell immediately?
  25. BrahimHemdani
    Why not, just takes a bit of goodwill and perhaps some eating of humble pie on both sides. Let them start from the position that they both want fan influence if not ownership and they both want the best for the fans and the Club. It would not be difficult to set up or facilitate. There are folks from both camps who post on here, lets hear from them.
