Perhaps he thinks he has enough (profits) to deal with with HoF and has had enough of King and Rangers.

Over the years I had many meetings about either buying or selling companies. Most of these were only exploratory and came to nothing - and none were even close to the scale of Ashley's business dealings. However, it never failed to amaze me how much these discussions are driven by personality and ego, rather than purely technical or financial matters.I think anyone involved in A&M will confirm this.  If Ashley has decided to clear his feet of Rangers then it won't be driven only by financial need. Someone must have blinked.

I'd go as far as to say it's an interesting development but the last few years tells us better to reserve comment until more information comes to light.

 

 

 

 

especially with ashley. He has a habit of saying one thing to limit bad publicity then when it all calms down doing the opposite, but at least the signs are down. Hopefully king calls a press conference and we can all get excited

What will happen to the signs?

 

Perhaps we should get a hold of some, say...5 or 6, hire a van, drive down to England, find El Gordo, and  then ram them up his arse. 

God knows there will be room for them.

Rumours going round signs are being taken down at Ibrox as we speak and couple posters on FF saying been confirmed on tour of Ibrox this morning that they are pulling out!!!!

 

 

SD's 25% of in stadium advertising was part of the "normalisation" of the retail deal that Llambias "renegotiated". 

 

It wouldn't have been included in any "matching deal" so it isn't 100% clear SD are in fact gone but whoever get's the advertising spacenow will have to pay for it.

Ashely appeared to be in a strong negotiating position and he is someone who will use 'carefully prepared' leverage to the maximum.

 

We'll await word on what is going on and hope it is without spin.
