Almost none I would think, it's a civil matter. Might cost Sevco a lot of money though. Originally Posted by bingo70

They could open a Blue Wing at BAR-L to replace the ibroke boardroom ... or replace the Wendy House! (anyone know if that's still there?)

The press have definitely had a large portion of succulent lamb.
That big. bad Ashley. Why not just give him back his £5m Mr King?
You would then get a higher share of the profits.

SOS, for Sons of Struth, is surely the most appropriate acronym ever! Are they the most gullible of the gullible! This is so much fun & I'm looking forward to King getting his comeuppance, but as every day he remains in charge is good news for Hibs we should really have mixed feelings! However, f### them, even if King's demise will eventually strengthen Sevco, the anguish, angst & humble pie along the way will be superb.

Genuine item for sale on Mike Ashley's firms site.

Stack 'em high and sell 'em cheap.
I get the feeling Ashley is the good guy in all of this.

Ashley is just toying with them, poking the bear and seeing what stirs, he can happily afford to not worry about rangers fans boycotting his stores, probably spends less on cleaning and disinfectant as a result! Originally Posted by Golden Fleece

And the Big Tax Case is back again tomorrow. Second appeal from HMRC - not sure if it's the beginning of deliberations or a verdict... Don't think it can impact the current regime but it will add to the frenzy down Ibrox way.

The general mood in their thread is one of delight and see the latest Ashley move as the beginning of the end for him. Perspective's a funny old thing.

They are a self justifying lot aren't they - winning on this one means changing your plea to guilty when they have finally caught you and suffering the indignity of having the senior judge call you a glib and mendacious liar before hitting you with a huge fine/penalties as well as damaging your business credibility. I hope no one associated with Hibs ever gets found this innocent. Originally Posted by Jim44

Having cash hidden all over the country that has just hammered you for the very same thing probably isn't the brightest idea either, nor is telling some random weegies who can't wait to blab about it all over social media.Last edited by Bostonhibby; 03-11-2015 at 08:25 AM.

I like how this has got personal between Ashley and King.
Unlikely to be a compromise and there is little chance of anyone putting in any money while they know Ashley can crash the bus any time he feels like it.

One bloated great white and shoals of dogfish.
They just haven't worked out that Ashley is big and bold enough to do what he wants when he wants to and King so far has only produced a few statements that are easy to ignore as there isn't any delivery.

I don't want to see Ashley back at Ibrox with any control. He would have the business savi to steady the ship and keep them going.
If King jumps ship or is pushed then I would want the Sons of Struth, Chris Graham etc to take charge.
Fan ownership , you know it makes sense !

03-11-2015 09:17 AM #29996That's pretty much my thinking GG. As I said earlier though I'm loving it, just loving it. The best scenario is that the car crash happens this season to our benefit. We all know Sevco will make it back eventually, it's delaying that eventuality for as long as possible that's the real game now. Originally Posted by greenginger

Whilst what you say is certainly true, I'd be delighted to see him bring the level of footballing success to Ibrox that he has managed to take to Newcastle. Originally Posted by greenginger

Except sharks serve a purpose which these guys do not.
Sharks play a very important role in the oceans in a way that an average fish does not. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in virtually every part of every ocean. In that role, they keep populations of other fish healthy and in proper proportion for their ecosystem.

Exactly. MA taking control at The Rangerz would be bad news for us, I think. Originally Posted by greenginger

Fortunately, David 'under funded / over investment' King is digging his heels in.
