Anyone still daft enough to read the Record for indepth analysis from back to front page deserve all the misinformation they get.

His posts become more bizarre with each passing day. Would there really be a conflict of interests through a PR agency handling a football club and a betting organisation who wasn't the football club's sponsors? Really? And as for his thoughts on accounting policies ...Quote:

It's not specifically a conflict of interest but I can see where he's coming from. I'm assuming Sevco were Level 5's biggest client until now & 32 Red may be stepping in to that role. It's possible 32 Red would not have entered into the contract with Level 5 if that company's biggest client was still promoting a rival organisation. Why anyone would pay Traynor good money is however beyond my comprehension regardless of any competing interests!Quote:

It must be easy to spot the main players in all of this. They are surrounded by bloggers and their stringers :)Quote:

What's a 'sports tort'?

This is the intellectual property that Ashley owns. If, as alleged, he stops them using it, it's going to be hilarious watching them try to keep the same club nonsense going when they have a new name and new badge. [emoji23]

Statement by Rangers FC on funding http://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/update-on-funding/
Quote:
After careful consideration the Board has determined that it is not appropriate to proceed with a share issue and listing on the ISDX market until the criminal proceedings being brought against Charles Green, Imran Ahmed, Craig Whyte and others are concluded.
The Board is satisfied that from a financial perspective there is no short term requirement for the funding that would have flowed from a share issue and that any funds that may be required for the Group will be made available as and when required from the existing shareholder / lenders.
Dave King, Douglas Park, George Letham and George Taylor have reaffirmed their commitment to making further loan facilities available to Rangers International Football Club PLC (RIFC) on the same no fees and no interest basis as the existing loan facilities and have also confirmed the continuation of the existing facilities which they are providing to RIFC on the same basis.
The facilities to be made available more than cover the projected shortfall for this Season and beyond. The Board further understand that additional facilities can be made available as and when required for investment in the team. Any such investment will be reviewed on a case by case basis in accordance with prior statements.
The Group’s accounts will be circulated to shareholders for approval in the next few days.
The lenders have indicated that, at an appropriate juncture, they would be prepared to convert their loans into share capital. To facilitate this, a resolution will be presented to the AGM to permit shares to be issued by RIFC on a non pre-emptive basis. The Board would like to see this resolution passed but this is not a condition of funding being made available. The resolution will be a special resolution and would require the support of 75% of those shareholders voting at the AGM. The Board recognises that funding of the sort being provided by its shareholder / lenders would more naturally be made available as an equity investment and believes it would be in the best interests of RIFC’s shareholders if the loans could be converted.
My guess would be that this (both the new loans, and the subsequent statement) have been prompted by the auditors. Without the finance, and the public commitment to it, the auditors might have been forced into qualifying the accounts.Quote:

I wonder how johnjames and philmagobin will argue away that information. It pains me to say it but they don't sound like a club about to go into administration to me. In fact, they announced earlier today that they will sign five new players in January.Quote:

I think it's also possible that, when the case is heard, there is no decision, ie the case is deferred to a later date. In that event, the judge/sheriff might order that £x is set aside in an account pending the outcome of the case.
What do make of the first paragraph of the Rangers statement. If they are waiting until the court cases are concluded then that could be years away no?Quote:

That might get them through this season, but not sure how it will play out in the medium term. They might have to consider... gasp.... restricting spending to the amount of their income.
