......straight out of the Romanov Manual

The re-shuffle of the back-room staff reminded me of Romanov too, with Durrant demoted and Durie assisting McDowell - without McDowell (the man they're putting in charge of football matters) getting a say in it.

I see Somers is also in trouble potentially over his email to Ashley's lawyer -

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?

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.

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.
He would be a lot cheaper just becoming Celtics shirt sponsor.

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

What are the chances of 14 or so decent quality Newcastle reserves being parachuted in to the The Rangers first team on partially paid wages?

Ah the Romanov model!

I suspect Ashley sees money in this - selling crap gear to the hun hordes. Even if they don't go to games they like to stalk around Glasgow, Belfast etc with their shirts with their fake five stars on them. 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.

I'm not in the least disappointed :-)

Interesting twist. Should tie up his time never mind finances for a while.
When these investigations are ongoing is there anything to stop King going on a spending spree, taking what's left of his money in SA, out the country..?

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

Given that Somers and Ashley are supposedly on the same side (with the Easdales), I'm not sure. But a shareholder has asked for it to be investigated, as the email appears to show Somers putting his own job ahead of the club (in choosing Ashley over King for the loan), as posted further up the page-

Yet Ashley is reckoned to have voted against the Resolution on the share issue.

I don't think that link suggested anything about admin, my take on it was just that Ashley us making a mint out of them for very little.

Don't understand the constant £1 ref though, surely he took on lots of debt that equates to a lot more than £1?

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