Nope no predictions. We certainly should be looking all over but I'm not convinced we do. Maybe we'll sign one of the dozens we were watching at Euro 2012. To be perfectly honest it won't break my heart if we signed nobody on a pre-contract in January and the same come September, we certainly have enough at present to see us promoted 2 years on the trot without adding to it, the younger players will learn far more actually playing in the first team than they will playing in the age restricted leagues or sitting in the stands.

Of course we will but Ryan Fraser won't be one of them.

Indeed and Fraser is no better than what we already have in that respect. For some strange reason we'll be associated with many young guns in the next fortnight, f*&k knows why eh?

Would he really offer any more than MacKay and Aird or is our interest more in the vein of Goodwillie?

I take it you didn't hear Ferguson's claim on Radio Scotland on Saturday evening that he "was not a fan of Rangers".

Time will tell but the board will have to pull some rabbits out of the hat to justify that they are indeed "worth every penny". Getting a compliant surveyor to place an unrealistic value on a bunch of property (without even seeing the deeds ffs!) is merely a trick learned from a previous custodian.

Re-investing so that when the inevitable hard times and lean periods come round there's no need to put out the begging bowl or cut,cut,cut. Did Sid tell you that?

Paying dividends and relying on handouts are at opposite ends of the spectrum, they're both extremes, there are plenty alternatives in between.

It's certainly a good business opportunity for some but most definitely not for all. You seem to be under the rather misguided assumption that because I'm anti money being sucked out the club in the form of dividends or inflated salaries that I must favour the Sugar Daddy approach, there are umpteen variations between those 2 extremes. Perhaps it's you and your ilk who need to get a grip of reality however unpalatable that reality is.

Forgot to add removes himself from the legal duties, responsibilities and disclosures of being a RFC director gives himself the fancy title of Commercial Director and a fat remuneration of £350k and associated perks. Doubly f*&king stunning.

You've got to hand it to Ahmed though, I mean he makes a short term loan of £200k, pockets a £50k arrangement fee, gets £178k paid back a few weeks later, and the balance of £22k is then swapped for 2,200,000 shares valued at £1,540,000. F*&king stunning !!!

Neither of the 3 would have countenanced paying a dividend, King was adamant we'd need 'Sugar Daddy' funding for a number of years, 'Walter's consortium' was more or less a rehashed Blue Knights. I'm not convinced Green & Co will pay a dividend in the foreseeable future either, to do so prematurely would be an act of folly.

Alas for no more exciting reason than I went to bed early in order to rise early In fairness to Green he'd probably be more use on the park than Black has been so far.

Not sure, I suspect they don't but the others do. Would the tax advantages of the VCT's/EIS's mean that they could sell below the placing price but still exit in profit?

Some healthy bonuses too, not clear if they could be implemented just by joining a restructured a SPL, if so then Greens remuneration would exceed that of Bain (which itself was obscenely high).

Not sure if it's clear if they're investing through their own pooled funds or they're being used as vehicles by their clients as individuals.

Was in bed the back of 12 when the missus came through with the laptop, all thought of sleep then evaporated....

Smart move by whoever appointed him.

But there isn't a ban as such just a requirement to have a minimum of 3 years accounts a caveat which can be sidestepped technically.

Probably not, but there is a theoretical route into the Europa League if we were to win the cup.

Gough's response in the comment section.

Na, the imminent prospectus is issued will easily top that...

Great link, cheers !

Awwhh don't be so shy, say what you mean no need to cosey toe round it.

Magnificent gesture, let's hope it receives due credit and publicity.
