Rangersitis 0 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That is why I said in the "long term", Rangers as a club should not be seen as financial black hole as if someone like Ashley was to make a relatively small investment now (in footballing terms - I mean Arsenal just spent £14m on Wellbeck...) he should be able to stabilize the club and have us running within our means. Have we not had enough people like Ashley screwing the club out of money? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Have we not had enough people like Ashley screwing the club out of money? Like everyone - I would like to see someone like Dave King in charge however - I do think if Ashley had full control of the club we would be in a better place than we are now. As much as Newcastle disagree with the running of their club - financially they are far better run than we are. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're years away from break even point and will need subsidised for years yet, Ashley's already recovered his investment many times over and is himself as responsible as anyone else for our current plight, We have £2.7m cash sitting in the Rangers Retail Ltd bank account that cannot be accessed without Ashley's consent. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,416 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Not read through the thread and travelling home so excuse me if I missed something, nothing surprises me any more, and yet there are some fans who blame the fans who are not renewing st as harming the club 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Night Owl Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 We ( The Rangers Fans ) have been nothing short of inspiring , loyal and sincere in our support of our club through thick and thin! Every time we're asked to stand, we do! Every time the board are asked to answer a question they deflect. I'm not having this glorified bus conductor try and lay the blame at our feet! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Anyone who wants to blindly get behind Ashley should read the article on the link below. I can't vouch for the author or the figures quoted, but it certainly merits close inspection. http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/sir-john-hall-makes-clear-mike-ashley-bought-newcastle-united/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as Newcastle disagree with the running of their club - financially they are far better run than we are. They are £129m in debt and that is with English TV money. Ashley is just another vulture. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
