    Any idea who he is referring to as The Prophet? If it's true that Park etc were not advised of the PR release in advance then there's going to be a stramash! Lovely!

    I know it's wrong to rely on these blogs, but I'm sure an earlier one said that at least one of the 3 Bears had refused to put anything else in. That's one of the reasons the latest announcement surprised me.

    I'm still clinging to the notion that the auditors are driving this.

    The Prophet part is alluding to his love of cartoons of the Prophet Mohamed.

    Generic Sevco / Rangers meltdown thread

    Statement from Sons of Struth
    ----------------------------------

    I think its time we concentrated on the dealings of Mike Ashley and his Sports Direct empire and their attempts to destabilise our club.
    Those with even a casual interest in the boardroom shenanigans at Ibrox will be well aware of his previous maneuvers to secure our stadium, buy naming rights of it for £1.00, bully our board to reject Kings investment in favour of his loans (highlighted by my leaked Somers email) and control our boardroom with less than 10% of a stake holding.
    As I have said previously, having business partners make a profit is no bad thing however when every dealing he has with our club is so heavily stacked in his favour then this can no longer be tolerated.
    Our club has been ransacked enough by illegal methods in the past that to sit back and let borderline legal actions carry on unchallenged is unthinkable.
    With the latest accounts due out any day now I am willing to guess we wont see much difference from the 75p from every £10 spent by fans on merchandise that the last set highlighted.
    Dave King released a hard hitting statement giving fans an insight in to how Ashley has treated our club and the lengths he has gone to curtail recovery of our clubs financial position.
    I believe that this is Ashleys reaction to his control aspirations being scuppered by fans, King and the three bears who between them contrived to derail his master plan.
    He got out pokered by groups of people who cared more for the club and true to form he cant forgive.
    He is showing the classic behaviour of the child in the playground crying "its ma baw" but on a much grander scale.
    Rangers fans have stood up in numbers against bullys and their tactics before and triumphed. We have the numbers to do it again.
    Every single fan who still considers spending money on merchandise simply has to stop and think of who and why they are giving their money to. The argument that the club still makes something is wearing thin and we would actually profit more as a club from fans buying a couple of programmes or five pounds worth of Rangers Lotto tickets than buying a jersey.
    We are hopefully now long past the stage were a small number of fans believed Ashley was the man to take us forward and those who confused the Rangers fans with tales of tens of millions of investment and Ashley wants us in europe have been successfully outed and shown for what they are worth. The fans who believed these tales are exonerated as they only believed the lies of some serial liars.
    Any fans who still harbour thoughts that Ashley may not be a bad guy would be well advised to keep their eyes and ears opened for the next few days and weeks as we find out more about Ashley and his actions.
    Ashley only wants one thing and thats our blue pounds, to give them up easily serves no purpose in the long term recovery of our club. We need a profitable merchandise agreement and partners who understand the importance of fairly constructed agreements.
    If you dont have enough facts to convince you now then I am confident you will have plenty more by the end of the week.
    Is it time to take our feelings to the streets and high streets again? I believe it is, just let me know how you feel.

    --------------------------------

    Above is a statement from top blazer chasers, the Sons of Struth.
    Looks like the board have prepared them for a coming PR war with Ashley.

    Mr Struth should have kept a closer eye on his Sons. It certainly reads like they didn't spend an awful lot of time in English class at school.

    Oh dear, someone surely must have made this up as a piss take - You'd expect them to at least take a stab at using their queens English bearing in mind how important all of that sort of thing is to them. They could have got a grown up to check it first.

    If there is genuinely a financial or legal battle coming it will be in arenas where statements like this are from a bygone era and will be ignored by the main players.

    One of the consequences of being trapped in the late 17th century is that this type of "rallying call" is only really going to appeal to a pre existing audience of supporters of the now defunct Glasgow rangers - they couldn't really do much about it last time and now they are taking on a serious businessman in Mike Ashley who will only do what he wants rather than something that a group like this feel they can influence.

    Out of their depth. The Black Knight in Monty Pythons' Holy Grail springs to mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eMkth8FWno

    Sons of Struth statement is unbelievably thick.

    When your club is in financial trouble, what do you do? Oh aye...

    'Hey, Mister Bullionaire share holder? How d'ya like ma insults and petty threats, aye?'

    Dave King thinks turning on Mike Ashley will work. He's wrong.

    Unless I'm picking him up wrong, Keith Jackson seems to be hinting there'll be big breaking news soon. Think it's in tomorrow's paper so the headlines to be coming out over the next half an hour or so.

    Almost but not quite. It's from their stooges at Sons of Struth. They are Dave Kings go to rent a mob when he wants to oust a board (think the cancelled game v the Yams). Looks like he wants to send them to a Sports Direct near you.
