    Ashley tightening his grip on his intellectual property
    'Its clear that every penny went to the benevolent fund' says some rent a gob.

    Except that the items apparently had this printed on them: 'A contribution goes to the benevolent fund.'

    That doesn't mean the same as every penny, does it? Normally you use this phrase when you are not sure what the charitable donation will be, or if it is only made after a profit. If they sold 10,000 of them, just 10p from every minimum £1 donation would get them to their 'four figure' donation.

    I'd accept a 15 point deduction, on the proviso that Dave King, john Greig and Walter Smith stand on the steps of Ibrox and solemnly declare:

    'This is a new club, formed in 2012. The stars on the shirt are a fraud. They refer to the old Rangers, and that one is dead.'

    It varies depending on who is talking about him. To some, he's a Celtic mole who has no inside information and is just a stirrer. To others, he's a Rangers man who is concerned about the future of his club. To the rest, he's just a guy who happens to post about Rangers stuff online but they're not sure who he is.

    Apparently, he's a SE England based business man with lots of time on his hands. Reading the comments, it seems that some TRFC fans do think he has some credibility, but perhaps that's just the comments he allows. He bans Celtic fans from leaving comments.

    I'd rather play by the rules and have a 25 point penalty, this season and next.

    Bu then I've always had sympathy with the argument that they're the same club.

    He also "moderates" comments which are either critical or questioning.

    I like your style but a 15 point deduction is not allowed under SFA rules. Admin 2 for The The rangers brings about a 25 point deduction. Bring it on !

    His writing style is remarkably similar to Phil MacG.

    Rips ma knitting :)

    He's let a couple of mine through that are mildly supportive, or which suit his agenda.

    Most, though, are questioning (and not necessarily in a critical sense. I'm usually looking for clarification). Those get dumped.

    Hahaha yeah, Phil writes like the Daily Record stenographers that he regularly criticises.

    That is to say, one sentence paragaphs.

    Unless of course, he's talking about people.

    In which case, he likes to use their full names - like Mr David Cunningham King.

    Helps to explain things to the hard of thinking.

    There's a copy of a letter kicking about on Twitter, MA essentially demanding an EGM.

    Surely it would have some sort of official company headed paper or something? Not just standard A4 fired out someone's printer???

    Not necessarily it is Ashley you are talking about.

    That was the scan I was sent and did not type, nor more importantly, sign it as Ashley.

    The letter does have the tax case citation wrong, though.
