The Real PapaBear 0 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think we're in danger of missing the point. It seems very strange for Ashley to have bought these shares instead of investing in the Open Offer at the same price (and without the associated costs of dealing directly with HH). Why not invest the £850K directly into the club? if he plans to become the club then he'd want to buy up all the shares he can and by buying the shares owned by HH he is in effect investing in himself/the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail/12104055.html Confirmed then. Not good news. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real PapaBear 0 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The other big question is what do HH see coming that they will take such a huge hit. They might have been tipped the wink that Ashley has decided to go for it and buy the club outright; if so the chance of HH making any sort of profit may be minimal given that Ashley has the retail arm locked up, the naming rights and god knows what else is int he pipeline. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forlanssister 3,050 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 So won't put money into rangers at 20p a share but will buy from others. Hmmmm. Why would he want hh to get more cash and rangers less. Most likely a toxic lie but if it is Ashley then we will have to be told. Regulations and such. I think we're in danger of missing the point. It seems very strange for Ashley to have bought these shares instead of investing in the Open Offer at the same price (and without the associated costs of dealing directly with HH). Why not invest the £850K directly into the club? He has removed 4.265m shares from a shareholder not aligned to Greenco, he has also removed the option in the forth coming rights issue from a shareholder not aligned to Greenco. He has effectively guaranteed that those aligned with Greenco will remain in control for as long as they like and get to keep their onerous contracts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that now, 35% between them? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
