I'm sure LLoyds Bank would have had a security when they were owed £ 20 million + , before Craig Whyte came along.
It's because it's Ashley that is looking for it Sispect if it was the three bears or King they wouldn't be trying to take the moral high ground .Thev whole situation is now getting cranked up with a view to forcing the Easdales out and letting real Rangers fans put thier money in and take control .Quote:

As article says, the idea that Dave King us the answer is a sick joke.
Indeed,but the real issue will be whether anyone can pass the new boy fans and the SPFL fat & protestant person test.Quote:

Of the 2 articles the Scotsman is by far the best, by telling it a bit like it is. As for Spiers, he misses - deliberately or otherwise - the key issues.
"Once the great bastion of Scottish and British football" - I agree that they are a true bunch of "bastions".
"a diehard. Traditional Rangers fans embrace the Union Jack, not just for its colours but for its British/Union significance"
"The Ibrox club for decades practiced a sectarian signing policy, which just about everyone concedes today was embarrassing"
But he fails to mention the equally embarrassing sectarian singing (only one letter different!) - is that not embarrassing then GS? TBB sung before the start on Dec 27th hoping that the TV mics would not pick it up and also on Friday night after the abandonment, presumably hoping the same. Re-reading that, I realise it is probably just natural stupidity on their part
"leaves Wigtown in Scotland’s southwest with his fellow fans for the two-and-a-half hour bus ride up to Glasgow… " - highlights one of the age-old issues without realising he is stating the problem.
GS - a journalist who superficially seems to be clever with words, but is just another Rangers apologist.
Also glosses over Murray by basically saying that was how you ran a business then and not that the bank insisted he sell Rangers, hints it was Murray's choice and highlights the Ayr policeman in saying he doesn't blame Murray.Quote:

I agree PH. There were more points I could have made on GS but wanted to stop before I lost the will to live! He was NEVER duped by CW over the sale, SDM knew what he was but he had to sell up so would have even sold it to me for £1. Another missed opportunity in my life! Everything he did was to benefit SDM and he is still at it, all IMO of course!Quote:

I've still got his 2 programmes recorded, I looked at them last summer and it was instructive to view with the benefit of hindsight.Quote:

Owners should pour money in and be happy to never see it again. Certainly seems like that's the hope over there and why they are clamouring for rich fans to own them. Why else would anyone think King was a solution!Quote:

Thanks. They're *****.Quote:

The board has 42 days from the point the EGM is called before any actual decision can be taken to remove them from the club.......spin it right oot Ashley :greengrin then hopefully der hun can go to the wall again.
And long after the transfer window is shut, which is the important thing as far as we are concerned. :wink:
So have I.Quote:

Did you not say earlier in the thread there's no such thing as an EGM?Quote:

They just aren't called Extraordinary General Meetings any more. The Companies Act 2006 now refers just to Annual General Meetings and General Meetings.Quote:

To be fair to Dave King, it wasn't him who used the term. That's the way it's been reported, though.
