all this bollocks about legal entities existing or disappearing has become some sort of comfort blanket for the Ps&Ds to shield them from the inalienable truth of our continuing existence.
inalienable
adjective
Definition: protected from being removed or taken away
Synonyms: unassailable, inviolable, absolute
Antonyms: vulnerable, assailable, unprotected, conditional.
"Each door is held in the open position by a suitable friction clutch, which can be instantly released by means of a powerful electro-magnet controlled from the captain's bridge, so that in the event of accident, or at any time when it may be considered advisable, the captain can, by simply moving an electric switch, instantly close the doors throughout and make the vessel practically unsinkable."

if you ever get out of the seaside leagues (unlikely as you'll be part time and skint by August) then I hope we get.you in the cup in future. I'm sure you'll be begging for the money we'll pour into your little part time club. And you'll not be squealing about tumbling out of existence then, because you might be Juniors by then.
Hard to argue with this. If only Morton were one of the biggest brands in the world. Then they'd be fine.

I don't think they should play Van Dijk so far up the park.

I'm glad Lennon's flapping his own hands and not someone elses. That would be confusing.

Ach well.
The silver lining to all this shite is the eejits are taking their eyes off the ball to go after a journalist who said nothing at all,
rather than examining some of the very interesting connections between "their" club's shareholders.

Heres a bit on Laxey in the Evening Standard:
"Another outfit that stirs up trouble in the hope of making a profit is Laxey Partners. Headed by Colin Kingsnorth, Laxey has a succession of victims on its belt, including British Land, where it tried to unseat the property giant's then head, Sir John Ritblat. Laxey's ownership can be traced to the Isle of Man but the firm works out of a small office in Jermyn Street. The object of its latest assault is Hirco, the AIM-listed Indian property developer. Hirco is run by the wealthy Hiranandani family.
Laxey holds 10.05% of Hirco and QVT, a fund with which it is closely linked, also has 4.95%. Kingsnorth has called for an emergency shareholders' meeting to change the seven-strong board. He is demanding that Niranjan Hiranandani, the chairman and father of Priya Hiranandani, the chief executive, resigns and that four "independent" directors are appointed.
It's not clear what his game plan is but it would come as no surprise if Kingsnorth was pressing for the quick sale of Hirco properties.
He's argued against what he perceives as the lack of transparency and governance within Hirco. However, of the four new "independents", one is Andrew Pegge, his Laxey co-founder, another is Michael Haxby, a Laxey executive. A third, Aled Rhys-Jones, runs Celtic Asset Management. Celtic's chief financial officer, Christopher Bruce, was Laxey's CFO between 2001 and 2007.
In Switzerland, Laxey is embroiled in a row about secret stakebuilding in Implenia, the country's biggest building services group. Between late 2006 and 2007, Laxey used different banks to "warehouse" contracts for difference in Implenia. Under Swiss law, holdings in derivatives are subject to the same rules of disclosure as normal shares. Laxey, which denies any transgression, could face criminal prosecution. Hirco does not need lectures from Laxey. And if we're serious about the City learning lessons and moving forward, we should take a long, hard look at Laxey and its fellow activists."

Laxey Partners, which is led by investment bankers Andrew Pegge and Colin Kingsworth, states on its website that it "conducts investments in companies which it feels are undervalued".
It has been described as an "activist shareholder" in various companies, where it has purchased a small stake and used its position to call for the removal of board members over poor performance of companies.
Hired Vultures
Kingsworth has scampered merrily from one corpse to the next across his career:
One amusing item in his portfolio is the following property company (specialising in office developments on brownfield sites):

I'm looking forward to the game. There are some real wildcard players in that lineup.
Is Bebe Fergie's Worst ever signing?
Are Cole and Barmby the real deal, or do they just sound like it?
Truth be told, I know a wee bit more about some of the Man U reserves than County's signings from the Nether regions.

And what, I may ask, are we meant to make of this insane broadside by Green?
Is it ok to rip the shit out of every other club now that you've got some sort of membership Charles, eh?
I'm staggered. In this whole miasma of arrogant fuckwittery, that is the most gobsmacking interview yet.
We'll make a lot of friends along the way I'm sure and while our former friends have the difficulties they are going to face Rangers and the fans will have an enjoyable few years walking through the divisions."

I believe one of the top womens players in Britain is Scottish and I wonder how she feels being denied the opportunity of a lifetime to represent her country at the highest level? I also think its ironic to talk about the SFA's 'standing in world football' given recent events!!
I suppose it does allow the Scots to have their usual tournament experience of supporting whoever play us, as opposed to actually taking part.
See, I think you just answered your own question.

Excuse me, but Team GB represent at least 2 willing parts of the United Kingdom and those of us down here in England (and I presume Wales) are willing to support them as we recognise that they represent us. They do not represent any of the bigoted bile that your average ORC spouts or believes in and for making that assumption I have given you a nice big red one. If you and your fellow Scottish fans are happy to go along with the stance that all those clever logical and morally superior administrators at the SFA have decided for you then that's fine, after all these people are beyond reproach and have shown themselves to be so over a long period of time and clearly have their finger on the pulse of Scottish football and the wishes of its fans, but don't try and politicise what is effectively now a joint English and Welsh side for your own ends.
Aye. Get to f**k. Its presumption like that that makes Team GB such a vile and stupid construct.
Here's some reaction from Twitter showing the harmony Team GB have brought to the "nation".
@ManicMummyat40 Ryan Giggs should be ashamed of himself – sing the National Anthem! #englishandproud #olympics2012 @djmickbrown great to see giggs and bellamy not singing our national anthem..tossers..if they dont want to b part of it properly then please go home.
