Zappa 0 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 http://www.inbrief.co.uk/football-law/dual-ownership-of-football-clubs.htm Doesn't answer the question and I can't vouch for it's accuracy, but it does appear that the Premier League does have it's own ideas on the matter. Take a look at the EPL handbook. It's a massive 560 pages in the online pdf format, but you can run word searches on it really fast for words like 'owner', 'percent' (etc) which takes you straight to the relevant sections. In Firefox I just use the 'Find' function (Ctrl+F). http://www.premierleague.com/content/dam/premierleague/site-content/News/publications/handbooks/premier-league-handbook-2014-15.pdf 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Will have a swatch later. I think the bottom line is that while Ashley is still the owner of Newcastle and with the current Rangers/Sports Direct contract added into the equation, then becoming the largest shareholder in Rangers would be a clear conflict of interest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Artagnan 173 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Conflict of interest with whom? Who could stop Ashley increasing his shareholding in Rangers? Did this not come up a while ago with another club Rab ? - cant remember exactly whom - but Im sure the rule being quoted was that an individual is not allowed to have a controlling interest in more than one club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWee BlueDevil 0 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 ]Rumour has it that Ashley will underwrite the 4m share issue[/b]' date=' bolstering his holding. No real sources for that, just rumour thus far. Will need to be made public as he already holds a "major minority", I reckon.[/quote']Yeah dude, it's the talk of Berlin! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The Italian who owns Udinese also owns Watford and a Spanish club whose name I can't remember. Anyway Ashley wants shot off Newcastle. ... If (and it's a big if) he wants Rangers he'll get Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
