Agree, but money should never be an issue where the rangers men are concerned, the last 3 daily ****** verified billionaires have surely proven that 😆

***CallumLaidlaw*** · 10-06-2015 08:06 AM

Ian Cathro would be an interesting one. Obviously a very good coach to be doing so well at just 28. But would it be too high pressured a job at that age?

Could see it being McCall. And most Rangers fans I know don't really want him, and think he's only marginally better than Mcoist.

Ashley want 9 million quid back from the Rangers sharpish according to the daily mirror.

The DR presumably think they are being clever casting Ashley as the villian in all this. I think they might regret p*****g off the one person with the resources to sort the club out.

King is a complete fantasist!

***Keith_M*** · 10-06-2015 09:24 AM

Here's a novel idea....

If King reckons that The Rangers can't afford to pay back the 5 million to Ashley right now, why doesn't he dip in to his obviously vast reserves of wealth and loan his Club 5 million, pay back Ashley with it and then allow them to pay him back after a couple of years, interest free.

That way, Ashley's hold over them is reduced, The Rangers share of the profit from the retail sales is back to it's previous level (if the DR is to be believed) and everybody's happy.

Surely to a man of his means, this is the ideal solution, no?

Reading the articles, I don't think the £5m is the main issue here, I think they want to renegotiate the merchandise deal and security. They're basically saying that the orcs just won't buy merchandise if this doesn't happen. This does fall down though, if the details of the deal I have heard about are true, in which the club need to buy any excess not sold, whilst I don't know the threshold for this, I am pretty sure MASH will have it in their favour and legally watertight.

This is truly the club that keep giving, I have had years of entertainment from the rangers and their dodgy dealings. I also think DK is clueless if he thinks he can get one over on Mike Ashley.

**NAE NOOKIE** · 10-06-2015 09:39 AM

So far all Mr King has done so far is to:

A) .... Ask the fans to buy season tickets
B)..... Make the glaringly obvious statement that a club with the 2nd biggest budget in Scotland shouldn't finish 3rd in the Championship
C)..... Encourage a club whose previous incarnation was liquidated to refuse to repay a loan

As far as I can see, what he has not done is put a figure on what money he himself can ( or will ) put into the club .... a load of vague pish about 'substantial sums' means nothing.

WINTER IS COMING

***Ozyhibby*** · 10-06-2015 10:22 AM

King's sales pitch the other day appeared to be 'for every £1 the fans put in, I'll put in £1 less'.

Latest in a long line of them since David Murray, happily duping the hun faithfull and removing them of their cash to fuel their fantasy and delusions of grandeur, and yet again the Scottish Football authorities sit back and do nothing but pander to these crooks and lunatics.

Personally, I love their enthusiasm for an 'off-the-scale' wealthy The Rangers man. King is a magnificent example of the genre with all the bluff and bluster of his predecessors, Murray, Whyte and Green.

My suspicion is that King is looking to make money from The Rangers rather than lose money. There's no way that ambition could possibly square with the restoration of the club to 'their rightful place in Scottish football'. I suspect that this thread will run and run and that the comedic value will only increase in the coming months. Here's hoping.

People in Scotland don't even read the DR, what are the chances Ashley is ever likely to see the article.

As one of their main 'Stories' from yesterday was that Miley Cyrus had her photograph taken naked with her Pet Pig (photo included), I tend to agree with you.

'King pointed to the fact that dwindling season ticket sales, and fan protests against Ashley indicated the need for Sports Direct to accommodate some of the Rangers board's concerns, if they indeed did want to make the arrangement a success in any way'

Emmm - exactly WHO was it that asked the 'Moron-Loyal' to NOT buy season-tickets ???

Ah, so that's where he's been the past few months! Good of him to work on a garden that will benefit many, rather than just concentrating on the one at his house.

I'm sure he made a generous donation as well.

The income from The Rangers first 2,000 Season Tickets will go to paying McCoist until his contract ends in December

You've gotta love the guy for his dedication to the cause

To be fair it does keep the money away from that bad man Ashley so he is doing it for the club, not for himself

one thing that the fans can be assured of there is that all of the money from the season tickets is going to go into the football side of the club.

So where's the money coming from for the other expenses of the club? The maintenance of Ibrox?

I think Super Ally was undermined by all the grief he had to put up with as manager.

With his batteries refreshed, and the club now under the visionary leadership of The King, I am sure he'd thrive as manager. It would also save them forking out for another manager at the same time.

Sign him (back) up!

Surely he's right. They are a football club. All moneys are going to the football side of the club. Even any that might find their way into his pocket.

**JeMeSouviens** · 10-06-2015 03:15 PM

Full statement from Ashley now up:

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/f...VLFNrlq0sl76rs

Crucially, did the New Board leave it all to the very last minute and were then left with no viable alternative? The consequence of what happened is that Rangers Plc no longer has a public listing, nor is it subject to the AIM regulatory rules which is all the more important in circumstances where the new Chairman of the New Board has, as is a matter of public record, been prosecuted for and admitted liability in respect of various criminal offences in South Africa, resulting in the payment then of approximately £44 million to cover liabilities and fines in South Africa.

Ooft!

If they have to pay back Ashley then the next 12,500 adult season tickets will be needed to cover that.

Dave King seemed to think getting Ashley's men kicked off the Board was the end of the war. I think he's made a big mistake.

They don't do 'walking away', unless the back pockets are full of readies. Good ol' McCoist and Ashley.
