der Berliner 3,247 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 "Interesting" to see how various non-Rangers people view a return to top tier and CL footie in a much shorter space of time than quite a few Bears. Perhaps they assume that Ashley could invest 5 to 10m, i.e. "peanuts", to get us a squad that could compete for the top tier title next season and in Europe thereafter. It's not that the Yahoos or any other Premiership team is unconquerable these days ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 If Ashley want to put in the 30 million Wallace says we need or 50 king says or any part of it then great. I wouldn't hold my breath though. Perhaps he could just give us the cash he's witholding or fair value for contracts as a start though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 A couple of comments from FF on these articles ... I speak regularly to a Toon fan and his take on it is: Newcastle are in a very healthy financial position as a business. The reason they don't like Ashley and want rid of him is he invests nothing into the squad to make them compete. That's the priority we fans want. A winning team.I know nothing about the guy but it seems as a business man he piddles all over anything we currently have. Yes, I think this is probably the big selling point for someone like Ashley.Assuming that we get into the top league next season, £10m, spent astutely (ahem ...), could imo buy the players that would win the league. Along with a few loanees from NUFC perhaps. Ashley does come in for a heck of a lot of criticism, but down here (near Newcastle) even the Toon fans that dislike him think that Rangers could do a lot worse than have a business-like billionaire running us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,141 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 anybody know how much the club gets for every shirt sold 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,259 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 No, they wouldn't. Even super majority votes need 75% to pass. So with 20% holding King could STILL have little say in how the Club is run if he couldn't gain a further 5% voting support. That 5% becomes 30% for regular shareholder votes So if the reqs had got,say, 55 percent of the votes at the AGM and the board got the remaining 45 percent the reqs would still be unable to get places on the board? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,259 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Aye, it's on the same bit of paper that shows Dave King has no money. I was reading the Daily Mail the other day and Simon Heffer described Obama as 'long on analysis,short on action'. A perfect analysis of Dave King too I thought 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that the this "if" and the name "King" can be found in next to any sentence about his involvement for years now. And that is not exactly "anti-King, just adresses his in-/activities and many a people's opinion about him now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilledbear 16 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Imagine anybody investing millions then finding Ashley has all the income sources tied-up. No wonder they wouldn't let King see the books. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
