The weird thing is that The Laxative is now the majority shareholder at Ibrox. This is not his usual modus operandi. Normally he only buys a few shares and spreads them around many companies. He then uses the '100 shareholder rule' to demand EGMs, since his companies count as 100 separate shareholders. At these EGMs he forces through the payment of dividends to shareholders. It is rare for a football club to pay dividends; minority shareholders are happy to own a bit of the club, while majority shareholders get some kind of position with a salary. If The Laxative gets his way then there will be no money, if there is any at all, to invest in the club or for Sooperally to buy new players. The latter, of course, will no doubt say that The Laxative has his full support!
There are more questions than answers about this new shareholder. Normally he is not in a company for the long term so why is he buying so many shares? If he is the majority shareholder, where does that leave the Kray Brothers? The Laxative is also due a chunk of Hughie Green's shares come December, so, again, where does that leave the Kray Brothers? This AGM in December is going to be more exciting than even the Bisto Kids anticipate!
Speaking of the AGM there's skullduggery afoot on both sides of the divide. Auld Pishy is banging on about some meeting that took place between Stockbridge and the 'neutrals.' By 'neutrals' I think he means Merlin's Mob. Pishy is desperate to know what went on at this meeting, who instigated it and what decisions were reached.
Pishy neglects to mention the meeting proposed by the Requisitioners. Of course, it's not advertised as such; it's being paraded as a Bisto 'Supporters Conference.' It's being held next Thursday at the Hilton Grosvenor Hotel, a venue that doesn't come cheap! The advert on a Bisto website invites those intending to go to e-mail for more information and to express their interest. I wonder if they need to pay to get in!
Meanwhile the Bisto Kids are making a sticky mess of their pants over five Celtic fans being found guilty in a court in Amsterdam. The Daily Record panders to this with their calling the ruckus 'The Battle of Dam Square.' They cannot, however, ignore the fact that all of these fans are appealing the verdicts and with good reason. The Bisto Kids can and do ignore the facts, daring to compare it with their rampage in Manchester, which a judge said was worse than the Blitz. They boast that there were only 49 arrests out of a supposed '200,000.' That figure, however, is to the eternal shame of the Scottish police, who could have been a lot more helpful in apprehending the hundreds involved in the violence and destruction.
I came across a site yesterday that is obsessive to the point of psychosis about trying to discover supposed financial irregularities at Celtic FC. It's called 'footballtaxhavens' and seems like a desperate attempt to deflect from all the problems at Bisto. Yet again, the old chestnut of London Road School is thrown up as some kind of 'evidence' of corruption. Unfortunately the whole thing is a load of bollocks. The writer of the website bangs on about this 'historical building' being demolished and how Glasgow's culture is being destroyed. I've mentioned before on here that I worked at this school and the building, unfortunately, is a dump!
But what of the price? According to this site it should be sold to the highest bidder; Asda or Tesco for example. That'll be like Rangers' assets, eh? The fact is, however, that no company is going to buy the building or the land when they will lose business every second Saturday and on occasional weeknights. Nobody is going to go shopping among thousands of football supporters, no matter which team they support!
So they're on a hiding to nothing with this stupid story. They desperately ask why the building couldn't be used since it has a well-lit, central atrium, 'like an art gallery or museum.' Yes, the atrium might be well-lit; it is also extremely small and is just a through-space to give access to the stairs. They're even demanding that the building be checked for bats! Dear, oh dear! Their desperation really knows no bounds!
Finally, a post that appeared on Merlin McMurdo's blog. No comment from me is necessary, other than to say that it sums up Bisto FC perfectly!
"Bears, again off the subject but has anyone else who has bought this seasons top had any problems with it ?? I am sending back my second Black 3rd kit top because the previous one and this replacement have both shed their Blackthorn sponsor transfer, are we using cheap crap foreign suppliers again ??? I would appreciate feedback that I can pass on to the club shop with my top."
"Aw naw, hen! Look what's happened tae yer da's Bisto tap! It's obvious it's cheap, shitey material but ye know what he's like. Ay's gonny blame me furrit an' ay'll knoack fuck oot the pair-y us!"
