Have JJ's credentials been verified in any way? Clearly he's a keen observer of all things Newco, but is he even a Rangers fan?Quote:

Doesn't really matter. His info has been generally sound (although his arithmetic, not so much).Quote:

They will also be aware that the Rangers support effectively were sleepwalking when they ended up in their previous mess.Quote:

I think that this time they are collectively less likely to take things on face value from whoever happens to be in charge at the club.
The way this chap goes on though one suspects that King has pumped his good lady.
I think it matters because, as we know from the Hearts admin fiasco, even well informed observers can easily add 2 + 2 and end up with 5.Quote:

Think it is based on the sums not adding up looking at income and anticipated outgoings but mainly the glib and shameless one not coming up with the money he promised before he took over.Quote:

Does all this mean that whoever is fourth must finish more than 25 points in front of Rangers in the event of an insolvency to prevent them going up?
I definitely fancy us to be in front of them should they be deducted 25 but what about Falkirk, Raith, St Mirren?
Interesting to speculate.............
Best thing those teams could do is start taking points off Newco, so they are well positioned should any insolvency event occur.Quote:

Depends if they also lose players. There may not be enough money in the pot to run an admin, especially as it would need to last as long as the court case. May go straight to the big L?Quote:

Just a laymans opinion, but I think there would be too many variables to encourage an early take up of STs...The need to get through the play-offs with a weakened side...would they even get back to the top league in this scenario? The shock to their tiny wee minds that they're not 'overinvesting' to get back there. The realization for the majority of them that glib and shameless is exactly that. Not many will be reading the blogs and will be unaware of the true situation...all they can see is their team riding high in the league. Asking them to dip into their pockets again might be a step too far. I'm hoping for an early xmas present in the shape of what Ozy is suggestingQuote:

An early sale of season tickets creates new creditors which I'm not sure they are allowed to do? Would they not cancel this years tickets and go pay at the gate to try keep the lights on?Quote:

They won't be able to escape the fact that if MA was in control there is zero chance Rangers would go to the wall.Quote:

You're not the first to suggest that, and I share that opinion. MA has been the big bad wolf for a while now, and it will get worse.Quote:

He would be entitled to take possession of them, I think, but (and this is where my legal knowledge is sketchy) probably only where the value was less than £5m. That's like a bank repossessing a house in the event of a defaulted mortgage.
ATM, I've no thoughts as to which would be better for him.
More to the point, we're on page 999, guys. Shall we just stop here? :cb

They are in default of the £ 5 million loan agreement. SD were meant to have 2 reps. on the Board and the AIM registration had to be maintained, so a receiver could be appointed to collect the funds required for repayment.
If they are beyond saving better to get a patsy to pull the trigger.
I don't think it will work though, Ashley has thick skin.
Could be wrong, but can't see Ashley forcing them under, would be unbelievable bad publicity for Sports Direct, or does he view all publicity as goodQuote:
