I think tiger would have played in his bare scud if he had to a great ranger

I still don’t get it. So far no one has come up with any objection other than this might be high risk. Welcome to investing. There are a barrow load of established, legal investment vehicles that are also high risk, both regulated and unregulated. Occasionally some donkeys get run over but mostly people stay away from these if they either don’t understand the medium or are threatened by the risk. As far as I can see, nothing in the offer is compulsory and anyone buying tokens does so with their eyes open. What’s the problem?

Of course not.

In which case they should have charged C1872 25p per share too - because there is little, if any, doubt that C1872 would still have paid 25p per share for those shares. That is the crux of the issue here it seems. BTW, good to see you back Barry - hope all is well my friend.

It’s an ideal time for it, with his replacement waiting in the wings

I'd be happy enough if Patterson had 10-15 games. After this season then I think it's a problem. The midfield is a big risk. I don't want us to end up relying on Davis, Jack and Arfield.

Absolutely not for me. 24 full time professional clubs is more than enough for a small country like ours. The rest should be in regional pyramids so the access to the top 2 leagues is still there but only on merit for Champions.

I imagine that deal is very much alive as there doesn't appear any other route for him to divest. Sid explained the intricacies of stocks and shares to me many decades ago but thanks for the refresher nonetheless.

Footballer, not a bruiser.

Highly unlikely, doubt commercial underwriters would touch it given you could get millions of shares from King @20p. If it is in any way underwritten it'll most likely be the larger existing investors picking up the slack.

Slightly off topic.... But Fabio Cardoso.... remember him.... just signed for Porto - boy has come a long way it seems !

From what I can see, Bitci has an impressive portfolio of partner deals and seems to be enabling Rangers to offers its fan base the same facility that many other prominent sports outfits are already signed up to. Is Bitci a credible company? It looks that way or at least a lot of other people seem to think so.

Similar to being sponsored by 32Red for me. We are not as a club pushing people to gamble. I'd prefer us to source sponsorship from more ethical companies but we can't ignore the potential partners that do want to spend money with us, simply because we don't care for what they sell.

With the crest branding ironed to his chest.

we should be looking to sell Tav if a good offer comes in.

Two interesting appointments. Nuno did a great job at Molineux. Can he do better than Pochettino at the new Lane? Benitez for Ancelotti is like for like in a different sort of way.

Love the latest pre-season video but the car parking next to the training pitch isn't helping my OCD...

Tavernier to Man Utd rumours... ? I know he's invaluable, but I'd jump at that--if it's a decent price. Seems a bit far-fetched, though.

Yet again, Bill supports the board for giving C1872 shares at a 20% discount over what the rest of the fans are having to pay,

There are certainly far too many clubs in Scotland. The smaller ones should merge. That's not going to happen, though. You can trust the SPFL to mess up anything. However, I am a Rangers fan. I want our Colts in the League structure.

I don't. You mentioned winger, then suggested he could play 'ahead of Tavernier'. Did you mean play Tavernier in central midfield, wide of Davis?

Its gold, very traditional

Maybe because he's a dud ?

Another nod to heritage, representing the gold on royal blue on the main stand gable crests.

I think it was a dig at us going on about the fiduciary duty to make as much money on share issue as possible. We need a market values economy, if a higher values society. Nothing else seems to work. If it’s fraudulent or negligent, then they should be held to account.

Don’t like, don’t buy. I definitely don’t like.

That’s more like it.

I won’t be buying these myself but I’m struggling to see the basis for criticism. Does anyone have anything specific beyond “I don’t like this”?

Don’t agree mate , just because other clubs are doing it doesn’t make it right , especially from a Turkish company , they have just had a guy called Ozer , who’s done a runner with 2 billion quid of investors money , and they will not get a bean back . Hopefully this mob we have teamed up with are on the level , but as I said this is totally unregulated . Remember the index where you could buy shares in players and as they were transferred etc their values moved , it went Pete tong as well and everyone that was involved lost the lot . Really disappointed in the club .

Nuno is in at Spurs and Rafa takes over at Everton

You may not be aware that he played as a right winger in some Scotland U21 games. So not inconceivable that he could play ahead of Tav. Or he could go on loan.

I thought I'd make this a pre-season megathread, for all things pre-season. I'm expecting more from Itten this year. He made cameos last season, but nothing consistent, so I'd like to see him take a step up and push for a starting spot. I'm worried about Patterson. He's more than good enough to play. But, he has Tavernier ahead of him... I'm concerned he's not going to get the games he needs to help him progress. I do hope a youngster can make an impact pre-season. We're still short in midfield, so I'd like to see some signings in that area. In that vein, I'm curious to see how Nnamdi Ofoborh gets on (No-- I didn't look up the spelling... ?).

So the shareholders could sue the directors for issuing shares at 20p 11 days ago? If the directors could increase the price of season tickets by 30% and still sell out the stadium they should do that? "sold the shares at cost" - I'm not sure what you mean. At nominal value? I don't think anyone is suggesting that they are issuing them at 1p. What's the threshold that you are referring to? £43K of shares were recently allotted. Sure, it's bigger than the £500 minimum but it's hardly an earth shattering amount. You believe that it's a fiduciary duty for directors to look after themselves and issue shares to themselves at a lower amount than to us. To treat Club 1872 better than those who want to purchase shares individually?
