Not sure we really need Tom Hateley not any better than what we have at either wide right or right back if it wasn't for his dad would he even be mentioned have my doubts
Agree7

Isn't Tom Hately a midfielder? I agree that we don't need him though. I personally think we'll sign Simonsen, Pandza once we get rid of one or possibly two defenders and then go in for Kenny Miller in January.

Why do we need Kenny Miller? We are scoring goals for fun in the 3 rd tier of Scottish Football! Save the dosh till next year and build a team to win the championship!

I agree that we don't need Kenny Miller but Ally doesn't seem to agree.

I have been making some enquires to why the EGM has been cancelled and interested that only one person has came forward meeting the criteria (ability to take over with their share amount ) The name is Artemis and reading this history you are going to have your work cut out with this one. I don't think she will put up with anybody's s**t so good luck.

Who is the she that you refer to? As far as I can make out Artemis Investment Management LLP is a group of 27 different investors. Again, please clarify what history you refer to because I have already spent about 10 minutes trying to find anything with no luck and I don't really want to waste my own time on it anymore.

It only takes one person to get the ball rolling

Mark Tyndall is the main guy behind Artemis so not sure who the "she" is the OP is referring to. The main thing is at least Artemis have stepped out of the shadows and recorded they are one of the significant but dissatisfied shareholders.

Artemis. "She" would refer to the ancient Goddess Artemis, revered through ancient Greece, Turkey and the Middle East long before Jesus was born. A quip remark to the name of the company involved. But then again - well if you don't know your history (I blame the eductaion system). Artemis was later used by Ancient Rome as the basis of the huntress Goddess Diana. Hunters? Getting the picture?

And as the ancient Greeks always said, "beware those bearing gifts"!
Well #3 thanks for the "history lesson". let's hope Artemis is more than a match for Stockbridge and Mather or shall we refer to them as Janus (especially Mather) to keep the theme going?
SPM
Agree0

I think "Janus" has one letter at the start that can be deleted. Janus was the Roman God of new beginnings. Mather is The Govan God of BullS.

Boris pandza is still hopeful of signing for rangers in the coming week. Also hoping to do so before bosnia's euro clash with Slovakia, as he has been called up into their squad.

Possibly better with zaliukas he's more or less reliable//pandza might have been a good long term idea but how long will the club survive?Half of the present board do appear to be asset stripping and the others are making plenty noise but no one seems to be listening!/

Complete nonsense, this boy will be with us for another few seasons then will leave for bug money.
Agree0

It would make no sense to sell the boy just now. No chance he would get a game for QPR just now and Rangers would hardly get anything for him. Give it a few more years when we are back in the SPL and the lad has 150-200 games under his belt then yes it would make sense

Hi Ed
Is it today we are due to hear more about the EGM? Seems to be put off constantly
I know they are trying to work it in with the other meeting but thought we would have heard something by now
Thanks {Ed001's Note - last I heard the EGM was scrapped in favour of dealing with it all at once in an AGM.}

.
At 1pm today Rangers made the following announcement to the Stock Exchange:-
Further to the announcements on 22 and 28 August 2013, the Company confirms that the Board’s discussions have continued with representatives of the group who requisitioned (together the “Requisitioners”) a general meeting to consider the proposed resolutions (“Requisition”) detailed in the announcement on 2 August 2013 (“General Meeting”).
The Company had requested the Requisitioners to authenticate the Requisition in accordance with section 303 of the Companies Act 2006 by providing evidence of the shares held by the Requisitioners and the validity of signatures on the Requisition. The Board has now received authentication for one of the Requisitioners, being Chase Nominees Limited a/c Artemis (“Artemis”) who hold 5 per cent. or more of the issued share capital and voting rights of the Company. No authentication has been provided for the purported shareholdings of the other Requisitioners. The Board confirms the validity of the Requisition on the basis of the authentication provided by Artemis.
Progress has been made to agree a basis upon which the business of the General Meeting would be included in the Annual General Meeting of the Company, which is expected to be held in October 2013. The Board wishes to reach agreement for the withdrawal of the Requisition without delay but in the meantime has secured a further extension to the written commitment from the Requisitioners to withdraw the Requisition pending agreement being reached as stated above. If no agreement is reached by the close of business on 9 September 2013, the Board will be required to send notice to shareholders by no later than 13 September 2013 to convene the General Meeting.

So are Artemis the only ones who have any credibility in the group seeking the meeting - in that they alone can prove their share holding?
