Looking ahead, if the good guys eventually take control, I wonder what their plans will be, if any, for fan ownership?

 

They must surely realise that the club could fall into the wrong hands again in the future, and the best way - the only way - to guard against this is fan ownership.

 

There's no point in winning the day only to lose it again somewhere further down the line.

 

The good guys are going to have to throw the club's ownership open to everyone - not on day one - but over the course of a few years.

 

Done constructively and harmoniously, the club could finally achieve the stability that fan ownership will bring, and let it plan for the future in a meaningful way.

Does anyone know who bought and sold the 2 blocks of 1 million shares which were traded on 22 December?

Never been disclosed, same with the 2 x 1m tranches a couple of weeks prior to that.

Well done to the 'good guys' involved in and around events of the past few weeks, for the playing what appears from the outside to have been a bit of a 'blinder'.

 

Question for Rab........Good to see the SFA acting in the best interests of Scottish football, don't you think ?

Many hurdles still to be jumped but if executive control is secured, a very challanging situation regards finances is faced.

Hopefully it was some more of the Rangers men doing the buying.

So can I ask what is Ashley's next move likely to be? He can't increase his existing shareholding beyond 10% as things stand and presumably the most obvious step is to ask for his £3m loan back. Do we know how much notice we get should he call that in? Today's news presumably doesn't change anything with regards to how the current board of Directors would vote. If they decline the £6.5m offer from Park consortium could we still be faced with an Administration? Would that be Ashley's thinking?
