SlipperyP Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Shite argument. Putting a tenner in the PDSA tin doesn't make going outside and kicking a puppy OK. I must admit I've never bought a poppy in my life. I do like to kick dogs, especially puppies. Does that mean I;m a terrorist synthesizer? Yes/No 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I don't really care about celtic either to be fair, just like you, 90% of my posts are all about Rangers. "It's all about The Rangers" "It's all about The Rangers" "It's all about The Rangers" Repeat ad nauseam.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It could be and it may not be ... but I certainly didn't choose to support Celtic because of religion and there will be many others like me. They will come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Your post does nothing to dispel the fact that this perception is utter bollix without facts and figures to substantiate it ... I've provided you with facts and figures that any reasonable person would see as sufficient to show that perception to at least be a viable hypothesis. You've produced nothing but anecdotal evidence against this. My sister sometimes comes to Tynecastle but nobody would say that disproves the idea that the Hearts Support is predominantly male. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doink Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It is very good of the current board to have the EGM in the Capital of England. The Rangers fans preferred country of choice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to be more specific.Is it his decision to vote, how he chooses to vote, or that a non Rangers fan holds shares in a company?

WeeHectorPar Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/busted-coke-done-kidnap-banned-5119747 Busted for coke, done for kidnap, banned from Indian cricket - now he wants to buy Rangers 23:11, 6 February 2015 By David Taylor CONTROVERSIAL Multi-millionaire Lalit Modi, mastermind behind cricket’s super-rich Indian Premier League, wants controlling interest in troubled club. 347 Shares Share Tweet +1 Email Lalit Modi and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty at the IPL opening party AN Indian tycoon with convictions for drugs and kidnapping wants to buy Rangers. Multi-millionaire Lalit Modi, the mastermind behind cricket’s super-rich Indian Premier League, wants a controlling interest in the troubled club. He confirmed yesterday that he contacted Rangers football board chairman Sandy Easdale this week to discuss the 26 per cent stake in the club over which Easdale has voting rights. But Rangers fans will be stunned at the thought of the businessman, who is now banned for life from Indian cricket and living under guard because of mafia death threats, taking charge at Ibrox. When Modi, now 49, was a college student in the US, he was caught with 400 grams of cocaine. VIEW GALLERY He was arrested in North Carolina on charges of conspiracy to traffic cocaine, assault and second-degree kidnapping. Modi, who was studying at Duke University, eventually pled guilty after a plea bargain to assault and kidnapping. He got a suspended two-year prison sentence and community service. Sentence for drug possession was deferred on condition that a £32,000 cash bond was deposited with the court – normal practice in North Carolina in cases involving first offenders. Modi has argued that the convictions, dating back to 1985, are no longer relevant. But they came back to haunt him in 2008 when he was taken to court in Delhi over a claim he was not a “fit and proper person” to be involved in Indian cricket. Lalit Modi He won that battle after arguing that the convictions were old and pointing out that the case had been brought by an old rival in cricket administration. But after building the IPL into a multi-billion dollar business, with support from friends including Bollywood superstar Shilpa Shetty, Modi is now no longer welcome in his homeland’s national sport. Cricket’s board of control in India banned him in 2013 after finding him guilty of rigging an auction for IPL franchises, selling media and internet rights without permission and showing interest in creating a rebel T20 league in England. Modi insists he did nothing wrong. He also faced claims in 2010 that the IPL was a front for money laundering and illegal betting, which sparked angry street protests against him. VIEW GALLERY He now lives in London, under 24-hour guard because of threats to his life by gangsters in India and Pakistan. A hitman arrested in 2009 revealed plans to assassinate Modi, his wife and son. Despite his chequered past, Modi is still on the lookout for opportunities. He seems convinced he has found one in Rangers. He said yesterday: “Glasgow Rangers FC is an institution in itself, given the history and lineage of the club. “Yes, I am looking at acquiring a stake in this Scottish institution, as I think the club is seriously undervalued.” It is believed a price has already been discussed for the shares Easdale has proxy rights over, and a meeting could take place as early as next week. Modi added: “Glasgow Rangers have a fabulous fan base, a solid home and heritage that dates back over 100 years, all of which make for great long-term value. Indian protesters burn effigy of Modi “I have thus initiated talks with a couple of shareholders to understand the situation on the ground, and am keen that these discussions lead to fruition. “Having said that, these discussions are still at a very preliminary stage.” Modi is best known for his stint in charge of the IPL, now worth more than £2.6billion. But he also ran India’s Champions League of cricket, and struck a ground-breaking £640million deal in 1994 for US-based broadcasting giant ESPN to show T20 Champions League matches. He was also a vice-chairman of the Board of Control for Cricket in India before his lifetime ban. Modi’s dad is chairman of Modi Enterprises, a £3billion businessempire involved in everything from fashion, education and retail to health care and tea. Modi jnr is president and managing director of the business and executive director of huge tobacco firm Godfrey Phillips India. But his legal issues continue. New Zealand cricketer Chris Cairns won £90,000 libel damages from him three years ago when he accused Cairns of involvement in match-fixing. Modi is now chasing Cairns to claw back £2.4million in damages and costs after the all-rounder was charged with perjury over the libel case. Cairns is due to stand trial in October. Seems like a perfect owner for Sevco but I don't think the Bears will want him anywhere the Big Hoose. Stupid cnut called them Glasgow Rangers FC.

Nipper Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I've provided you with facts and figures that any reasonable person would see as sufficient to show that perception to at least be a viable hypothesis. You've produced nothing but anecdotal evidence against this. My sister sometimes comes to Tynecastle but nobody would say that disproves the idea that the Hearts Support is predominantly male. You have provided Dhen Bhoy with evidence which he has chosen to ignore,he won't accept anyone's option whether it's informed or not, he won't accept what United and Hibs say about their own fan base,he won't accept the FACT that Dundee Hibernian changed their name to United to appeal to more than just the Irish community in Dundee, he refuses to research the subject from the sources which have been provided for him.So with this background of D B sticking his head in the sand and for everyone else's sanity I think it's time to bring down the curtain. No doubt D B will want the last word and that's fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipper Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 And also Rangers Fans, Instead of supporting their local clubs (now why would that be?) a) They are glory huntersb) Could it be there is a religious element in their decision which club to support. Of course not And also Rangers Fans, Instead of supporting their local clubs (now why would that be?) a) They are glory huntersb) Could it be there is a religious element in their decision which club to support. Of course notIt's hilarious when old firm fans claim that religious traditions had nothing to do with their choice of club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt D B will want the last word and that's fine. It's not a FACT, it's total nonsense. Dundee Hibernian were dead and gone before Dundee City FC (the United bit came later) were formed. The new club only borrowed the name to guarantee admission to the league. It would have been dropped a lot sooner had there not been a major dispute over the name Dundee City. The two clubs are not related other than by the borrowing of the name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 They're only voting on the holding company...whats your problem? IMO many 'investors' would have seen TRIFC as a decent punt when the SP hit the teens. This is a share which was recently in the 70 pence area and comes with the certainty that the toxic brand will not be allowed to fail. When it comes to making money, club allegiance takes a back seat. It's certainly a bit more ethical than investing in arms dealing. And if you are a shareholder you have a vote, of course, to cast as you see fit. So there may quite a few non-The Rangers fans holding shares (although not enough to make any difference). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
