    As I said, struggling

    Judging by that article, Toxic is struggling to engineer even vaguely credble spin and has of late, had his puppet jumping from one place to another. One thing he is trying to do here, is to give 'doubting disciples' reason to stay aboard the Ashley/status Quo train by discrediting the Bears who have just bought the Laxey shares and their MO. There are many now seeing that Ashley isn't the only alternative (previous line peddled) and have to be re-convinced of why they should back him. The Bears need to continue in the way they have operated in the last few weeks and the under the counter Toxic slant (the Judas Blogger) will have to change. Note that there is no positive argument made on behalf of the Ashley/current status quo in that McMurdo piece, nor does it refer to many events and facts that have happened/came to light in recent weeks.

    Laxey partners chairman Colin Kingsnorth confirms he has sold his 16% stake to the Three Bears: "I sold because a fans-based group were hopefully going to be the best placed to take on Ashley's power. After Ashley removed Norman Crighton, Ashley's most vocal critic, it was obvious David Somers was just a wet fish agreeing anything Ashley wanted. I am sure the Three Bears are an upgrade on us for fans and hopefully this is the start of the ownership being in the right hands." Laxey statement is hard-hitting and adds fuel to the SFA case against Ashley.

    Well done to the 'good guys' involved in and around events of the past few weeks, for the playing what appears from the outside to have been a bit of a 'blinder'. Question for Rab........Good to see the SFA acting in the best interests of Scottish football, don't you think ? ------------------------------------------------------- Many hurdles still to be jumped but if executive control is secured, a very challanging situation regards finances is faced.

    One step at a time Hildy, please

    Probably not unless there are two willing parties, they could be threatened legally or the company in which they resided was liquidated.

    Indeed it is some good news and on the face of it, well engineered. Unless there are other shareholders willing to invest, it's difficult to see how they refuse this offer. Ashely is more accustomed to autocratic executive control and shadows but his priority will be to keep his onerous contracts being serviced. This goes for others aswell. The presence of Rangers friendly directors would surely look to get a precise handle on the books/onerous, take stock and look to address matters where possible. This is where there would be conflict but I'm getting ahead of myself.

    If that is the case, I hope he will practise what he preaches and leave without a pay-off.

    We'll be told that we need MA to make money, otherwise he won't be able to throw all those squillions at us 'further down the road in the CL'.

    According to the club then, this would mean that paying a quid for the shirt sponsorship rights is more normal than paying a pound for the stadium name. Ashely the Billionaire likes a good deal,............... for him ! ps. Well done Craig, it's the only way shareholders and fans will get any type of transparency.

    What is the punchline...........Do you think it part of another cabal wanting to bring Rangers down ?
  12. buster.
    It'd be ok if he was acting in the interests of RIFC and ALL it's shareholders......but we know that won't be true.

    What insult ? Your latest episode seems to have left you a little :box:
  14. buster.
    The latest 'Dream Team New Board' are going the same way as the last one,............ and the one before that............ Anyone see a pattern ? ps. hats off to Roddy Forsyth who has taken the bull by the horns.

    Bah Humbug Enjoy !!

    From a Hearts supporter who knows what he is talking about.............. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- . "Romanov actually had interests in three clubs, Hearts, FBK Kaunas in Lithuania and MTZ Ripo in Belarus. While he was ultimately recognised as the “Owner and Operator” of Hearts, he was never a shareholder in his own right or even a director of Hearts. His shareholdings were always held through a third party, e.g. HOM 2005 Ltd and UBIG. It was the SPL themselves who changed the rules in order to be able to sanction Romanov for his rants against the authorities by defining the “owner and operator” of the club. If I recall correctly, Kaunas was actually owned by Ukio Bankas, which Romanaov only owned 33%, although this was increased to 51% in 2010 and 63% in 2012. His involvement with the third team of MTZ Ripo was through his companies being the major sponsors of the club."

    This paragraph is wrong, or at least the way I'm reading it, it sounds wrong. To me, it gives the impression that the EGM was called on the 12th. The letter from MASH Holdings Ltd. requesting an EGM and the removal of Wallace and Nash was received on the 7th of October. It was then announced to the market on the 8th, two days before the leaked e-mail was sent.

    I very much see what you are getting at but the e-mail involves more than just Somers. Nor do I think this would be a route of his choice. Noising up shareholders at the AGM, yes.

    "Rangers chairman David Somers pleaded for Mike Ashley takeover to succeed, emails reveal" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/rangers/11311642/Rangers-chairman-David-Somers-pleaded-for-Mike-Ashley-takeover-to-succeed-emails-reveal.html Fot full Roddy Forsyth article, click link above -------------------------------------------------- This isn't just about Somers though, it goes deeper.

    There is a complicated narrative, in which I think we all share varying degrees of responsibility.

    If the club are looking to youth development, why would they appoint someone they deemed for whatever reason, not worthy of a coaching role in the first team set-up ?

    I think it's about opening your eyes, engaging the thought process and seeing what is in front of you. After that, everyone can make up their own minds. Blind loyalty will be exploited for corporate interests. Ashely isn't for selling elaborate products at the top end. He is about low-cost, low quality products sold at the bottom end. The current economy throughout Europe will lend itself to this strategy. If you blind yourself to what is going-on, bend-over and have no real ambition then I can understand trueblues stance.

    Much of what you say is true. However, the crux and the question you don't broach is what kind of Rangers will or might live on ? This has already been discussed. And this is where you seem to advocating some kind of 'long', 'cheque is in the post' type of war (just keep spending your money)....You might aswell be George Bush at the beginning of the century. Yesterday it was about immediate action, now it's the 'long war' and Llambias should be given a chance. You are sending out confused messages, which almost sound like you were trying to sell something but struggling to find a sweet spot, that's because there isn't one.

    You mean the soulless corporate entity that is shedding traditon and embracing SD franchise. That has no respect for the support, doesn't want to engage with them, misleads them through serial spin but want's their cash.
  25. buster.
    I very much get the feeling that this is the 'achilles heel' in the Ashely plan....and for that matter, all other holders of onerous contracts.
