the gunslinger 3,366 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The same rules apply to everyone btw. If king ever does get in nothing but the best by him should ba accepted or funded either and if Ashley provides the required levels of quality ownership he should be praised. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,151 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Well said SBS: This infrastructure should have been in place well before now. The IPO should have seen to that. Instead we have nothing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The offer was for shares - not to spend £16m in January. Meanwhile Ashley apparently withholds the money you and I spent in the Rangers shop. Happy with that? He couldn't have got those shares(51% I believe) without shareholder approval granting an EGM. That was never going to happen. Ashley won't withhold the retail money forever. It will be released in due course 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Doesn't matter when he releases it now he will always be the man who forced us to the brink by withholding our clubs cash. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Ashley won't withhold the retail money forever. It will be released in due course Yeah, after holding a gun to the club's head and forcing them to enter a retail agreement that's even more in his favour than the previous one. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgacus 8 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 How dare a football club depend on fans money, they should be shot for having the cheek to expect it, in fact we should boycott them. No wait!!! Why not support the team like football fans generally do and just slag off the NON-SUPPORTERS? The Club has no right to expect my money, it has to earn it and quite frankly it has not - from a convicted criminal in the boardroom to the performances on the pitch it is failing hoplessly 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was never going to happen.Ashley won't withhold the retail money forever. It will be released in due course I never said he was going to get the shares - I just countered your suggestion that he was throwing money at the club. I'm puzzled you're so comfortable with this onerous contract. Just to be clear though, are you happy your money is being withheld from the club while it has to ask the same people for loans? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgacus 8 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Rangers must be the only club in the world who have got supporters opposed to being owned/controlled by a genuine billionaire......... Oh yeh..he's done such a good job with Newcastle! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Oh yeh..he's done such a good job with Newcastle! Methink we've done that to death by now. We hardly can compare anything he does with/for Newcastle with what he will be able and willing to do with Rangers. He sure wants to make money with us, but the way it works with Newcastle is not the way it will work with Rangers. That said, if he goes the Magpies way with us, he's got a genuine chance to add fame and silverware to his name, ego, and - first and foremost - brand, something he's hardly able to do with the Magpies. In that, it's hardly different than what SDM did, only that we will not be in the hands of banks et al, but of a billionaire who will not see his investment go down the drain. In short, the ghosts of impending doom are banished for the time being, if not for good. The spectres that we face now still look dreadful enough though, but from a different point of view. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
