simplythebest 0 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Perhaps easy to say this as someone who can afford it but since we consider ourselves higher than the SFL can we complain too much about higher prices? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComeOffit 0 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 He's either a liar, or he made an arse of the share issue. He clearly said on Scotland Tonight that he knocked back dough from the institutional investors, so the support could buy. He allocated £10m worth of shares for the support, we bought half, so he says. In theory, there was £5m worth of unsold shares that could have gone to the institutional investors, or he's talking shite, again. The share issue target was £27m, we got £22.5m approx, so we lost out on £5m, if you believe him pre share issue. £10m from fans a week before xmas was always going to be a stretch. Why didn't he just allocate us £5m and sell the other £5m to the big shots who wanted to invest? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 its an anomaly for sure. but he's still right the initial target of 20 was oversubscribed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeOffit 0 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I agree, but he has this need to over egg everything, and tell half truths that's bordering on patronising. This £10m on players pish, is him at it again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say that (can't help myself reading certain posts sometimes despite the ignore function). The aim was £20 million when the flotation intention was formally announced. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the aim was £30m before july, but lets not let a few million either way bother us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had capped the fans at £5m and it sold out like it did, you would've moaned he was trying to keep the fans out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt have moaned. I would have been happy there was less chance of bears getting ripped off, again. We still have no real say or power, even after all the money we plough in year after year. We put money in because we love the club, they put it in to skim as much as they can back, apart from green ofc, who has invested the sum total of fuck all, yet is our largest shareholder. You couldnt make it up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
