I think the benefit to Ashley was supposed to be European advertising of Sports Direct, rather than prize money from the competition itself. I've no idea if that is the plan, or if it's a good one.Quote:

How much is Ashley in for with the Rangers? And at what stage does pumping money into them become unviable? I ask the question as I remember them and the hearts going for relitavely small amounts. If Ashley wants to pick them up for cheap from administration, what's to stop king thinking the same or another with the same idea. Would that not push the price up?
It's a rubbish idea, the stadium has to be clean for champs league games. The only adverts the club are allowed are on their jerseys.Quote:

If home games were played from the Sports Direct (Ibrox) stadium that would be a decent bit of advertising for a quid!Quote:

That isn't going to change anytime soon regardless of how rubbish their team is. Of course if his loans are secured against Ibrox and associated property he will make money regardless what happens.
To be honest since Rangers went into liquidation the number of sevco tops I've seen, home and abroad, has crashed. I don't know what the actual numbers are or if others think the same but it's been quite noticeable to me.Quote:

How did this email from Somers to an Ashley 'associate' get leaked to the media I wonder? Rangers is a nest of snakes.Quote:

He didn't take on any debt. They owe him £3m though.Quote:
