Rangers announce they have been unable to find a new Nomad and will delist from the Alternative Investment Market.
Doesn't seem as if they want to go private.

Liked this bit:-
. this resulted in AIM receiving more complaints about the company than any other company on its exchange over the last year.

A big boy done it, then ran away, like before.
Unless there was plenty fee, prestige and huge heaps of professional liability cover available I couldn't see a Nomad wanting the gig - not a good one anyway.
Can you imagine having to advise them what they're doing might not be a good idea / legal/compliant :crazy:
It's not in their psyche - blaming everyone else is, presumably it was the same big boy that told dave to tell the hordes he'd get a nomad.
Tick tock by the look of it. At least until dave flashes the cash we keep hearing about.
So the first promise of the glib and shameless liar is not fulfilled. (Not to mention the funds not being available that were promised.)
For the avoidance of any doubt in regard to did he/disn't he actually say it........
"I've ensured there is another nomad willing to come in but the club has
to appoint them. That process can only happen after the general
meeting."
Dave King
"Where's your money Mr King, who is your Nomad?"
Derek Lambias (from the same article)
Well we have the answer to the second question..................
Does it make much difference?
Not a lot, TBH.
In theory, it makes it more difficult and expensive to raise cash. But they were struggling to raise cash anyway; IMO, they were always going to come back to a share issue backed by the owners
That STV article says a lot of sensible things. The costs of regulation, for example, can be saved if they delist completely.
It should also be said that they are looking at listing on alternative markets, which might be more appropriate for them. They mentioned the one that Arsenal are on.
How will this play out with the SFA? Is it the excuse they need to bury their head in the sand?
If every nomad in the UK came out and said they were too hot to handle and dave's 46 minor indiscretions with the south African courts meant that no one would be prepared to be their adviser the SFA would still manufacture him through their fit and protestant person test.
Jack Irvine, spokesman for The Easdales, saying that they are considering legal action against Rangers as the delisting will affect the value of their shareholding.
Is king possibly trying to squeeze the other major shareholders like the easedales and mash by making it harder to trade the shares.... waiting a while and then offering below value to buy them out?
