I think there is a lot of mileage in the Warbsy rumour to Fulham, they are obviously going for someone who is currently employed otherwise they wouldve appointed someone already.

Also the fact that THE Rangers or, with respect, Warbsy have not come out and categorically denied the speculation, speaks volumes

Seriously? I thought the recent press conference where he repeated and repeated that he was not moving from Sevco was more or less a categorical denial of the speculation. It certainly fooled me.

Yeovil are also looking for a new manager. Sure their strip would appeal to him.

Yes it did seem pretty definite, more so than previous comments where he was more cautious in his response.

Many Fulham just don't fancy him after all?

Interesting, and it would be nice if he's right. But let's not forget that JJ also told us that CG would win his case against the club.

The link in the original post is still working for me. The link as it appears in your quote box does not work. The address is identical except for the hyphen at the end. This might be causing the problem

He's not left as much wiggle room as he usually does. If wrong be prepared for "astonished" and "unbelievable". If right triumphantly pressing "post" on an article already written.

He claims to be Rangers fan, so you would have to assume that he is a deeply unpleasant character anyway.

He may be but he doesn't half heap publicity on the wrongdoers at the SFA and others. I note Doncaster and Regan have both been on the deflection

trail today talking of change to the game.

The change I want is to see they two banished from anymore to do with Scottish Football.

It is GUARANTEED to cost Sevco money. That's what so brilliant about it - the 3 Bears spending their grandkids inheritance on King's legal bills.

I still find it very very hard to believe that Stewart Regan SFA, found the GASL 'Fit and Proper' to run The International Rangers Football Club' formerly

known as Sevco 5088, a man who was called a Glib And Shameless Liar in a South African Court. Especially given everything that had happened

previously, they the SFA then let in a man who is not only a GASL but a known Tax Cheat. W T F .

He was also on the board of the old club when it went into admin.
He was a slam dunk for a refusal but the SFA found a way. That's why we can't move on, because one club is playing by different rules and the governing body is helping them.

Here's the thing I actually regret is that normally I would feel sympathy or empathy towards another football club who had the difficulties of Sevco 5088

and their supporters as I'm sure the vast majority of fans would. However, almost 'all' of the Sevco fans are arrogant and think of themselves as superior

and better than anyone else. This supercillious attitude has also been encouraged by a media led over the years by in particular the Daily Record and The

Sun. Until this changes most fans of other clubs must keep up the vocal protests for a level playing field and integrity.

I listened to this and other bits and pieces in the media, and yet not once do i hear about them cutting their cloth and living within their means.

It would mean not signing high profile players and managers, and not renewing current contracts and signing lesser players, but that seems to be one thing that's never on the table with these cheats.

I wonder why the media don't seem to ask this simple question?

Absolutely agree, the cheating football finance model that results in administration still seems to be an acceptable course of action too.
Clubs should declare their player budget and stick to it for the whole season. Sporting integrity.

I am astonished, nae, flabbergasted, that those 2 have retained their positions over the years throughout this whole sorry matter along with other less important, yet annoying decisions taken in the name of Scottish football. your point about deflecting actions, seems correct to me.they think that a new League cup format will sort everything out.

What difference would this make in the big scheme of things?

My first thought is that it would be easier to find faut with RIFC, rather than King himself (as he could deny personal involvement?), and easier (if it goes MA's way) to withold money due to RIFC than chasing King for money?

Not sure, TBH.

I was making the point, though, that people seem to be assuming that DK is for the jail if SD win the case. Not sure that would be the case. If the judgement is against RIFC, it's they who would be punished, not necessarily DK.

I would agree it's must be easier to find fault with Sevco rather than King specifically. Even now the Daily Record are still releasing new details of the deal. These can only have been leaked by Sevco or SD. It should be easy enough to convince the judge it was not SD.

When I see Sports Direct v Rangers, Ashley v King in courts, I think: there is a god.

The thing I like about him is that in his dealings with the the rangers he is basically behaving in the same way as they have for decades, but he is a very big fish in their dirty pool, he is at least transparent in what he is doing, not pretending to be a paragon of virtue when he's not. He seems to pay his way as well so he's already ahead of two Scottish teams and the people that run them.

Whatever his motives, he is just the guy to flush out the murky goings on at the SFA and the now defunct Glasgow rangers at the critical stages that seen King emerge as fit and proper and also perhaps cast some light in the deal that sneaked the rangers back in the way they did, titles intact, so he might even be indirectly doing the rest of us a favour revealing that which we don't have the resources to pursue.

Stuart Regan on Radio Scotland saying the he didn't say that Scottish Football was facing armageddon, only that "some might say Scottish football is facing armageddon". So I can be getting on a plane and remark "some might say there's a bomb on board", and as I'm taken away, I'll express my shock as "I didn't say there was a bomb on board!". The magical "some might say" clause - must work in a similar fashion to the Warburton "respectfully..." clause.

There is nothing likable about Ashley, and we will rue his on-going involvement in Scottish football for years to come.

Why?

I don't rue his involvement in Scottish football. I'd be more worried if he actually was a Rangers fan, because with that much money he could turn them into a force again. As it is, that doesn't seem likely.

Also, he might be a Scrooge towards his employees, but as far as I know he doesn't break the law and he does pay taxes. So far, so preferable to the shower of ****bags who have been involved with that club before him.

I don't disagree with you generally but for this one (which I say with a bit of irony) if he wasn't where he is, doing what he's doing for whatever motives the rest of us would be indignantly farting against the wind whilst the new boys and King would be effortlessly gliding along doing pretty much the same as before (are they not now financially?) and the authorities would be turning a blind eye as before at best, and at worst would be helping them along. Potentially squeaky bum time for the blazers I feel, and long overdue.

:agree:

Of all the key players in rangers and then sevcos recent history he's one of the few that hasn't tried to shaft hmrc. Puzzled as to how rangers self inflicted meltdown, and/or mash's involvement is going to damage our game for years though. Would it have been better if they'd been allowed to carry on cheating 666?
