craig 5,199 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The Club's attempt to remove Ashley's voting rights is done to protect the Club from even being seen to being controlled by Ashley. If his voting rights are removed there can be little cause for SFA complaint about him controlling two different clubs. It is a belt and suspenders approach. One which I see no issue in the Club attempting, even though I don't think that they would win that particular battle. The real debate right now is because Rab, as a seasoned King detractor, is using this instance to yet again have a not so subtle dig at King. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 FFS. Why are you so pro-Ashley? Surely doing anything to limit his influence is good? Also not sure why you need it so exact. The club were fined for bad faith. which could happen again if Ashley is allowed to vote at an AGM. What has happened in the past isn't that relevant, but who's to say what happens in the future if Ashley increases his shareholding, something the club are powerless to prevent. However they can stop him and those who he influences form voting. And yes, Ashley voted for the appointment of Llambias at an AGM. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see BD. Rab's MO is abundantly clear. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 minimizing ashleys involvement gets my whole backing and the removal of any voting rights with his shares will hopefully see him sell his shares and fuck off. Rab is correct in a fashion, we cannot be fined for ashley having voting rights as he was granted permission to him them along with any rights by the sfa up to 10% if he wants more he has to tell the sfa first. The fine was for not declaring his control at management level 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siding with regan's SFA is foolhardy and unwise and will end badly. You only need to see who is running the SFA to see why 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinstein 294 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 ashley was fined £7500 later dropped to £1000 which he is still contesting at court as far as i am aware. The club was fined £5k for 3 breaches of rules one of which was bringing the game into disrepute or something along the lines of not in the best interest of football if my memory serves. The fines have nothing to do with shares they were for control of management or administration at two clubs without prior written consent. You can have control of two clubs you just need to have permission from the sfa first. you can't have control of 2 clubs 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to see who is running the SFA to see why that sounds like another place where blatant Ashley supporters argue black is white and that they are only scrutinising the board. They are anti anyone who was against greenco including fans groups fighting for fan ownership and denigration of King from these people can be seen as just another attack on Ashley's rape of the club. I'm relatively new to the party that Gersnet is so I wouldn't presume you are one of these people.....nor Brahim Hemdani either 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Spot on & if King is seen as a liability then he should consider his position as chairman. We can't afford these continual legal battles with Ashley & if King's removal stops them so be it. Ashley problem is with rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to see who is running the SFA to see why It's you who seems to not want the club to take steps to prevent the SFA fining us again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 you can't have control of 2 clubsyes you can. There are people who control multiple clubs in Europe. The SFA want agreement first before giving permission. That does not mean no. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
