Some of the comments made by people who read that trustnet article: "Yes, they are pulling in crowds over 40,00 on a regular basis, but the fans are paying less than half the premier league prices." "One third of turnover ... how much is turnover going to be this year?" "Collapsed into administration? I think you'll find they were liquidated. Is this really a business site? (I'm off to buy Enron, any advice?)" "He should have invested in Celtic PLC. Their shares have doubled in value since December, could have made millions in the space of a week or two. At least he can look forward to watching his shares drop in value in the coming months." "Given the fact that the writer mentions Mr Hargreaves involvement with ENIC's Tottenham investment I am curious as to why neither Mr Hargreaves nor the writer mentioned ENIC's investment in Rangers in the late 90s. Their £40m investment was sold back to Murray for less than £9m 8 years later."

PAST LINKS BETWEEN ENIC AND RANGERS 2ND BIGGEST SHAREHOLDER ! From DueDil: Mr Giles St George Hargreave Enic Group 07 Nov 1995 — 31 Mar 2003 (7 years, 4 months, 24 days) Director; Retired Enic invested in Rangers in 1996. Now I don't know how much Mr Hargreaves may have been involved in ENIC's investment in Rangers. Perhaps that investment was discussed when he was not present. Equally ENIC's decision to go all in on Tottenham and divest their stakes in other clubs, crystalising losses (ultimately £31m) in the Rangers investment was perhaps also discussed when he wasn't present. I believe ENIC decided to try and sell their Rangers shares back in 2001 but it took until 2004, after Mr Hargreaves had retired from the board, to do so. I guess my question is "if Mr Hargreaves experience as a director with ENIC at the time of their investment into Tottenham is pertinent, why isn't ENIC's investment in OldGers?" I agree that if Rangers can keep salary costs down to 1/3 of income they might make investors some money - that would be a heck of a change from 2009 when wages were at 77% of turnover. Even in 2010 (last audited accounts) the wages were at 50% of turnover (turnover was up £16m on 2009 based on Champions League revenue) - that makes both figures c. £30m in wages by my reckoning. http://scotslawthoughts.wordpress.com/2013/01/14/past-links-between-enic-and-rangers-2nd-biggest-shareholder-by-ecojon/ I'm surprised Mr Hargreave didn't give some background knowledge of what went wrong when he was an Enic director when it lost over £30m of its £40m stake after investing in Rangers.

Are the three aliens the "Illuminati"?

Why, because they are in a gay club?!

You are a wise man Supras where gambling is concerned. Gambling in all its shapes and forms is definitely a mugs game for all but a very tiny fraction of a per cent of the masses who indulge regularly in the process. I have an uncle who lost his career, house and wife due to his compulsive gambling. Serious gambling addicts don't make good partners, friends or relatives due to their constant mood swings and rampant unreliability.

There is something about this movie that captures you... it starts out quirky and comedic but as the film progresses it becomes more serious... the ensemble cast gives it the feeling of a classic like Snatch but this isn't just an action film... its more dramatic and you do feel for some of the characters.. the movie does have some faults like some predictable plot points and the humor fails at some parts but this shouldn't discourage you from watching the film. It doesn't disappoint. 9.5/10 Brilliant !!!

CRITICS claim betting is particularly high in poorer areas with high levels of unemployment, as figures revealed the largest amount gambled last year was in Glasgow Central. Punters become addicted to the casino-style games. Tom Ross http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk SCOTS gamblers spend the equivalent of £1000 for every man and woman in the country on high stakes slot machines. New research reveals that punters north of the border splash out far more per head than the English and Welsh on the fixed odds betting terminals in bookies’ shops. Yesterday, campaigners and politicians voiced concerns about the machines which have been branded “crack cocaine” for gamblers. They allow punters to bet up to £100 every 20 seconds on computer-generated versions of casino games such as roulette, poker and blackjack. Figures show Scots staked £4.2billion on the touchscreen machines last year – £993 for every adult in the country. That equates to £802 per head of population overall, compared to £644 in England and £511 in Wales. The shock figures were produced by the Campaign for Fairer Gambling using betting industry data. Report author Adrian Parkinson, who worked as a regional machine manager at Tote until 2008, said: “I was responsible for testing the machines between 1998 and 2001, then launching them on the high street. “By 2003, I saw the problems coming through, with feedback from shop managers that punters were getting addicted to these machines. “In 2008, I was asked to formulate quite an aggressive marketing policy promoting FOBTs, but I refused. “It wasn’t socially responsible to entice people to play games where there was a possibility they might become addicted. “I don’t dispute that for some people they are fun and enjoyable, but they represent high risk, particularly in areas of deprivation where people are gambling with money they can’t afford to lose.” Gamblers Anonymous Scotland said: “This is a major issue. Most of the people who are coming to us now have a problem with roulette machines. “People become hooked, it’s almost like they get an instant fix. Some people with debts see them as a solution – but they only make things worse.” There are more than 4000 FOBTs in bookmakers’ shops in Scotland. Campaigners claim spending is particularly high in poorer areas with high levels of unemployment. Their figures, broken down into parliamentary constituencies, show the biggest amount gambled was in Glasgow Central, where £243million was staked last year. In Glasgow North East – which includes Sighthill, Possilpark, Milton and Springburn – more than £137million was fed into the machines. Glasgow North East MP Willie Bain said: “There are 36 bookmakers with 131 fixed odds betting terminals, raking in £4.2million in an area where the average wage is under £17,600 a year. “I am concerned about the number of these machines and the frequency with which people play them, going through stacks of money in a very short time. “Labour is calling on the government for a review. “At a time when living standards are under unprecedented threat, companies are preying on some of the poorest constituencies in the country.” A spokesman for the Salvation Army, long-term opponents of gambling, said: “With fixed odds betting terminals, you keep feeding money in and lose track of what you are spending. “People are losing thousands of pounds a day and there is no way that anyone can afford to lose that amount of money. “It is not ‘entertaining’ or ‘fun’ if you have lost money that you needed for your rent, heating and food.” FOBTs were introduced in Britain in 2001. Last year, Harriet Harman said that Labour had made a mistake by allowing them when in government and admitted that they were “ruining the high street and people’s lives”. But bookies argue that the £4.2billion figure includes money won on the machines then fed back in again. Kate Miller, of William Hill, said: “The numbers being bandied around are turnover and 97 per cent is returned to the customer. That is a clear distinction that needs to be made.” The bookies’ figures suggest that, after paying out winners, each machine makes them around £900 a week. Ciaran O’Brien, of Ladbrokes, said: “The average spend on a machine session is less than £7. The stakes figure is very misleading. “With a very low margin FOBTs are a popular and fun product, generating a lot of tax and protecting employment.” An Association of British Bookmakers spokesman agreed that the figures were “misleading” He added: “We have always believed that customers have the right to decide how they spend their money. “We take our social responsibilities extremely seriously which is why we voluntarily contribute £5million each year for the research, education and treatment of problem gamblers.

Hmm...

Is this a Hitler reference? Well Ben? Is it or is it not?! We want answers.

Orcs.

Rangers owe me for the jeans I pished whilst laughing uncontrollably on the day they died. I want my money you c***s

Most of the Tedi Bears idolise the assets that Chucky Green and his fellow hustlers own DB. Didn't you know?

So that is another reason why he and the idolaters that swallow his words are on the verge of tears AGAIN! Yes i do.

She has probably tanned 2 bottles already, numbs the pain. Tedi the voice of experience.

I missed replying to this post during another Tedi meltdown. The Rangers International FC cannot get back to somewhere that they have never been! So that is definitely not the reason for the daily meltdowns coming from them or their fans. However, i don't rule out the real possibility that they conned some of their players into believing that they would not have to wait the 'minimum of' three years that it will take for the new club to win promotion to the top league in Scotland.

It doesn't take much to put down Ellis...i mean Carlito...eh i mean Tedi, it's as easy as liquidating Rangers.

You are definitely confusing me with yourself and fellow orcs Tedi, you and your drunken orc m8s who have become chronic alcoholics since being liquidated.
