Excellent , need to get it done an dusted before the SPL vote and vote the cunts out !!!

I had to do it for him. He's got e-mail, but a complicated banking set-up
I was waiting on his text to come through and instruct me to go ahead and do it for him. Didn't come through until 10pm (he'd been out for a meal), with the words "Don't forget to sign me up. Can't see Tony and not be signed up !"
( I think those two will be knocking around the same old folk's ward in 40 years time - friendship goes back to c.1970 !!)
In the meantime, he raised the point that if Celtic or Rangers went down this CiC route, with the sizes & geographical spread of their support & facilities, then "They wouldn't be in the mess they are in now.......... It must be too clever for them"
Hopefully some more good news on Billy in the next week or so.

The fact that the fans have reached the target will provide evidence to commercial sponsors that this is a worthwhile investment.

Well I guess congratulations are in order, my opinionns remain as before but good luck to the CIC and all who sail in her.

Again No.
The agreement for the Void will be between the CIC and the Club. the CIC then funds what it needs to do from the sources it has open to it.
But even if it was the way you suggest that is the way that commercial enterprises like say SMFC already work. Take the catering services within the stadium, fitted out by the operator and operated by the operator for which a fee is then paid to the Club who owns the asset.
Whether you like it or not that is the way commercial deals that involved the fitting out of void spaces work, any peppercorn element only lasts as long as the depreciation and amrtosation of the increase in value of the assest and at the end of the day the auditors of both Club and CiC will need to approve the transaction and relationship,
there really is nothing to see here but by all means continue to believe that there is some sort of grand conspiracy.
Anyone else that buys the club using Debt Against the Club (which we are not) will need to find revenues to take our of the Club to fund the payment, two rejected proposals from the selling Consortium we believe included the new Owners Directors paying themselves wages (rather than being volunteers as the board is currently) or taking a %age of transfer fees as quasi-agents to fund the debt....we are a million miles away fro this

How can i make money it is a CIC run on Coop principals.
You can chose to belive me or not, but there is no physical or legal way that I could make money even ifI wanted to. I am not being Philanthropic as I am not putting up all the money, although I have paid for all the set up and legal costs of all parties and will not get this back, and the additional money I am putting in is via one of the member categories just like everyone else.
Sometimes you actuall just need to belive what someone is telling you

Have to say the quality of SMISA's statements are pretty poor. Fortunately I doubt many SMFC fan s will read or even be aware of it.

I personally support and believe in the bid and have never changed or hidden that opinion.
Similarly I have never closed, edited, moved or removed a single post by anyone who is "anti" the 10000Hours bid.
I have also offered to publish an "anti" article on the homepage if anyone wants to write one.
To suggest this forum is not providing an independent platform for discussing the bid is both insulting and completely disrespectful.

Jesus Christ there's a load of reading to be done on this forum tonight.
I'm in catch up mode because I've got a pretty heavy personal and professional workload just now but I've read the document on the 10000hours website and tried to get through as much of this thread as possible.
I don't know Gordon Scott at all and I couldn't care less about his endorsement of the current proposals - especially not since it appears that this will make him a creditor of 10000hours and therefore he'll get a personal gain from it. However I have to say I am completely unfazed by the addition of the new membership level. At no point did I ever think that the football club would be run by referenda. I always understood the one member one vote statement to relate to the running of 10000hours and not to the football club. To be honest I find it remarkable that anyone else thought otherwise.
I'll sit down later tonight when I've got a bit more time and try and take stock but my initial thought is that it changes nothing for me. It's still a good idea, that secures the clubs future and gets the club working as a hub within the local community - the community bit still being by far the over riding element for me. I'm not sure there would be many takers of something that costs £25,000 anyway but who knows.

Well done to GLS and REA for managing to progress this project to it's current position. Just ignore the lunatics and all their childish hysterics.
Somner doesn't even understand the concept and has shown no desire over the last 12 months to want to understand the facts.
Sid, well he just loves the attention.

Pull the other one.

If you bothered to pay attention and educate yourself you would know that they have never "claimed" they had more DD's than the counter currently states. You have a real inability to deal in facts or you intentionally ignore the facts in order to drive your negative and uninformed, dirty campaign.

Self preservation?

Happy to see that the cheeky chappie has a big Bile just under his nostrils. I hope it REALLY hurts and that he nicks it many times, whilst shaving.
Meanwhile as Buddies were trying to enjoy the dreadfully shite match today, in a West London pub, the sounds of a song about being "Up to our knees in... " ....some sort of blood, resounded with foot-stamping from the floor above, in which the obvious detritus from an earlier game were still in residence,
They'd been beaten 3-0. not won a league, heading for liquidation, you'd think there might just be some sort of realisation that their view of the world was not working...
FUCKEM.

Ally McCoist doesn't look well at all....looks about ready for a heart attack and appears to be losing all his hair / mibbae tearing it out. That being said any sympathy I might have had for him disappeared when he made the madman statement earlier in the week and then refused to back down from it. Too much for his cheery cheeky chappy shoulders to bear me thinks.

So Sally calls for the independent panel members to be outed, and lw an behold, the SFA have had to bring in Strathclyde's finest as members ave been threatened, names an addresses published. Jim Spence quoted as saying one member has received advice from Special Branch relating to suspect packages.
And they wonder why we don't want them in our league?
Well done Ally McCoist, you're reached a new low today.

Guess he'll be up in front of yet another disciplinary panel. I wonder how they'll view intimidation?
Another fine coming Rangers way. At this rate the SFA will be the major creditor.
