ian1964 10,447 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 RANGERS has regained the legal ownership of its precious trademarks from Sports Direct supremo Mike Ashley, it has been confirmed. A host of Rangers and club-related trademarks and logos including the club name, Ibrox and The Gers, were held by Mr Ashley and Sports Direct as security against a £5 million emergency loan taken by the club at the start of last year. Mr Ashley, who is also the Newcastle United owner and has a near 9% share in Rangers, gave the Scottish Championship leaders the money to help them remain solvent - but it came with a string of conditions including securities over assets, including trademarks. http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/14274274.Confirmed__Rangers_regain_legal_ownership_of_its_name_and_trademarks/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,283 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Maybe I mis-remember this, but wasn't it the Herald doing some shyte-stirring at the time we paid the 5m back and they made a bit of fuzz about not yet having the trademarks back? When it was, as anyone would have known, just a matter of time? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 5,236 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Just for the sake of accuracy, ownership of the name and marks was never lost. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Sports Direct now out of the FTSE100. "The discount sportswear retailer has seen its share price slump around 50 per cent since hitting a peak last summer. The Guardian notes the stock has fallen 40 per cent since December alone, when the paper published a searing expose on its working practices.

Means a fair few hedge funds will have to sell their stock. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,283 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 ... some of the folk that pose as sports reporters in Scotland would have been out of their job or report on gardening and cooking stuff if they were over here and continuously spout half-truths and lies. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
