CumbernauldGers 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Clearly convinced top class businessmen like Mike Ashley to get involved, love to know what he'll gain from the club getting wrecked. Thats the bit i could never get, but it seems it was alot of pish and lies being made up at the time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 He's here as a businessman first and foremost something to his credit he readily admits. I'm aware and have no problem, but we can all grow unexpected affection for things as well. You may start to like me some day for example FS. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, think of a healthy Rangers in the SPL and Europe debt free. The shares will be worth millions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 the only advantage to wrecking the club a second time is in who could then openly own us. I'm not so sure that's where we are headed frankly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray couldn't sell when he started trying to because of the bank debt, the tax case made matters worse but nobody was willing to pay off Lloyds either until Whyte came along (obviously we know the means by which he did but you get the picture). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
