For anyone in the UK who can't get RangersTV it's also on the radio on Sportsound and streaming audio online here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/scotland/21267690

BIG cheers the link

thought it was on council tv but cant find it

Pay for Sky or are we still boycotting them? You'll get CL

Are you being serious sir op? A Scottish game on the openining night of Champions League?

You could have had 100% of the salty Bovril at Kirkcaldy but I get to keep the steak pies.

As disclosed fae before, I'm fae Fife and didn't touch pies in Kirkcalds - they're made from cow brain matter still left from 2004!!!!!! Good day it was Brahim

As I understand it - there is no real deal to the bars at Ibrox. We changed to someone we pay on delivery (i.e. upfront). That is how low Greenco have put us for new beer contract

Children, please.

 

The Takeover Panel requires anyone building a stake in a target company to make a mandatory bid once they have acquired more than 29.9% of a company’s share capital; this is because the Panel deems it to have effective control. The mandatory bid must be at the highest price at which they purchased shares over the last 12 months.

 

I believe the 90% reference is to the fact that if at any point along the way the predator acquires acceptances of 90% or more, it has the option to invoke compulsory purchase procedures for the remaining minority of shares.

Fook off - I want 30% of yer bovril or no deal - RAB has my back

Well that's up from 29% on the other page!

 

Any advance on 90% of "value"?

About to bid 95% on pie n chips - coke 29%

Hey blue - the RST need to give an announcement about making themselves **** fools - wasting the fans' money @ 20p when their share scheme clearly states it's objective to be owning a significant voice. Rangers First used their members' money @ 20p to support the regime when it was clear to anyone it would fall below that and their members could have owned more today. That is even before we wish to talk not supporting the regime at all. I wonder if Rangers First will give an announcement of their decision.

when you reach 30% you must have mandatory offer.

LOL - read above RAB - I bet you a n Ibrox pie not!!! You are hilarious

It would be far more helpful (and a show of dignity) if you don't post stuff like above but give the actual figure and numbers. Rab and we all will then learn and know it in the future.

db - I cope with my REAL woman from Duisburg's ignorance of "soccer" but sometimes lurking here, I see you as troll and winding. Last time at Ibrox you sat where?

The price could just have easily gone up for a few days on the back of the “success” (I use that loosely) but it was always going to come down. So in a sense you are correct they’ve thrown their members money away.

 

But if I was a member paying into this on the expectation that they would be investing in share issues etc. I would question why they didn’t when they had the opportunity.

I get you - I suspect I was asking was probably jibeing if we should be giving 20p at anytime to current regime - a view - but I respect your response too.

Cat among the pigeons.

No - just as in other thread, I could not see any logic in RST's vehicle propping-up Greenco at a higher price than they needed to pay.

EDIT: Own 9% when you want and Greenco can still play around !!!!! That is what I took from your points!

Presumably they took the choice of wanting the money to go to the club rather than a third party shareholder.

 

They, if you rag it down to today's price gave 1p per share to the business - NOT solely the club. Easy to make donations of that size

 

Also they don't have a crystal ball to know what the share price was going to do.

 

I think you could have got that 'crystal ball oot o Argos - the company said no investment. In essence they said it will be the same business owned by a larger number of shares. You might need to visit Specsavers instead of Argos.

 

FWIW, I don't think that they should have invested but understand why they did.

Explain again for the terminally sensible!

cdynamo1 - sorry if my answer sounded rude BTW - I'm just frustrated - I could see last week there was no point in a limited aspirations fans sub-group of the RST buying @ 20p if they vow to own a 'mentionable percentage'.

AND - protecting what investment????? Greenco will go bust or not - one of the two, but not something they can ever change by propping them at the wrong price. Also, how did they protect members' subs last week? By buying at 20p when you can buy cheaper this week? Who on earth are their fund managers!!!!!!

Empire building. They are in a competition with Rangers First and Vanguard Bears.

Easily summarised sir - well done!

Waiting for what?

 

They have already invested in the previous share issue do they not have a duty to protect their members investment?

Waiting for the fully expected price drops/else the new issue - let us be clear - If BUY RANGERS had waited 4 days and bought today @ 19p they'd own more of Rangers than they will on Thursday (owning a %age is the avoud aim). You didn't need to be a New York Merchant to know it would happen this week.

Why did they willfully of foolishly prop the regime @ 20p instead?

The fan ownership dream is to be club - not a club controlled by a company.

 

The club would be owned by its members - not its shareholders.

 

This idea that we can settle for being a minority with serious influence needs to be knocked on the head.

 

A fan minority group against a majority shareholder or a cabal of hedge funds and fast buck merchants will exert no meaningful influence at all.

 

As for pipe dreams, I'm sure the same thing was said to nationalists who wanted an independent Scotland. They didn't settle for bring a minority and now they are a whisker away from seeing their 'pipe dream' becoming a reality.

 

Don't settle for anything less than fan ownership for Rangers. Have the dream and work towards making it happen - because it really can happen.

As a newbie - I assume that is your argument against the Buy Rangers set-up (foul-up) and hence why you believe RangersFirst is the more laudible aspiration?!

1. if there is so much unhappiness with the regime?

2. If the vow is to get as big a %age as possible to have a meaningful voice for Buy Rangers, then buying at 20p was never gonna be a good idea.........the market price was always gonna fall as a bigger pool of shares owned exactly the same business - they could have hoovered-up more at any subsequent release with the members' hard-invested. (can the protestors/boycotters/nae-sayers say why they ever thought the RST decision to do this was a good one?).

I've asked before, but never had an answer I could believe - why invest in Greenco now instead of waiting with the funds?????

Newcastle United ... now, that's what I call a forceful statement. Would wish we had such a PR department these last 25 odd years.

Haven't we employed many dB and wasn't Wally's first movement after the 129 day review to employ another? Not to fix things, employ more accountants and PR

We need money or we're in big trouble. Administration again would be catastrophic. Where do you suggest we get money from?

I agree with this RAB - I know many bears who wouldn't touch an online forum with a shitty stick but would say 2nd admin is the end for them, seek o it. It is their way, still fans but wouldn't have the heart anymore.

Rangers had to pretend to put up a fight for appearances sake.

I don't buy into that I'm afraid - Chuckie, Stockbridge and Sandaza had less clear cut reasons to be sacked, but were - Black who is still there should have been sacked.

what ahmads took and the legal bill why did we not just settle at the start .

Good question - we divvied up to Green n Stockbridge without a sweat - we divvied up to players without a sweat. Cheerio Sandaza, here's another year's worth in yer hipper.

Fighting Ahmad 3 times then giving him a pay-off at the end makes no sense unless you are a QC needing that holiday villa in Mauritius!

I would have thought if it was subscribed it would have been leaked by now.

Leaks would be sorely frowned upon by the Exchange - do you want us in more trouble?????

Watch some old movies about the stock exchange to see what happens to insider trading - start with "Wall Street" starring Michael Douglas

Thanks for wanting us delisted by your impatience

Not sure - you'd imagine today but with a game tonight, may be delayed.

I think you are naiive - not before the market closes @16.00 FGS

You told us that last night, Rab(although you have omitted the League 2 part). Nobody bought it then.

Correct itis - even minus 25 we could make the playoffs - be loud and proud - I'll wave to you from the town of Raith on TV (joke - Kirkcaldy)
