As they can out vote him now anyhow, is it not needlessly antagonistic?Quote:

Isn't there some issue about this rule, which I think is an SFA rule? MA owns shares in an English FA club, and it is unclear how SFA rules could be applied to owning shares in another FA's club. Also, I understand the English FA has no such dual ownership rules?Quote:

Wasn't it today that Paul Murray was going to announce the new manager?
But King will still expect to tap into the Newcastle subs bench for players to prop up their title bid 😏Quote:

Warburton's career is unconventional to say the least: crap player turned city trader turned youth coach turned manager. His managerial record consists of taking over an already decent side in league 1 mid-season, not changing much and getting them promoted, then getting them to the Championship play offs while falling out with the chairman and getting the heave-ho. He's never had to build a team from scratch and he's never been anywhere near the sort of profile he'd have at the New Huns. On that basis, seems a better bet (for us) than McCall. :wink:

It doesn't matter who they get, they've got little or no money to spend.Quote:

How did that go? Is it Carver backed up with the Newcastle treatment room until the season starts?Quote:

Nope. You're right.Quote:

If so, since they are all "the rangers men" its got to be better to just put the same cash up in the form of low interest long term loans to help their club like STF has done instead of playing pass the parcel with a turd as they seem to be doing?
From a career point of view Warburton would be better staying in England. Any success at Sevco Huns will be put down to them having a much higher budget than their opponents (especially in the second tier) and failure to achieve everything with that financial backing will damage his reputation.Quote:

BDO's latest report. .....

What does it all mean in simple terms?Quote:

Can any of this affect The Rangers (Sevco) or is it all from the old (liquidated) club?Quote:

That is, if they have any [emoji48]
Ah well. We can hope :)Quote:

We shouldn't let the King/Ashley circus divert our attention from this fact.
Says who and on what grounds?Quote:
