Sports direct have lots of retail deals with lots of clubs.

Retail deals yes. Holding 50% ownership of the retail company no.

Must be serious when they are using the correct name.

"THE Rangers Football Club Limited"

Acceptance of a new club, old one died.

Fury erupts as former Rangers owner Sir David Murray given go-ahead for £1bn housing estate on green belt land

EDINBURGH councillors told to “hang their heads in shame” after overruling their own experts to grant planning permission for the construction of the Garden District

COUNCILLORS who overruled experts to grant Sir David Murray planning permission for a huge housing scheme on green belt land have been told to “hang their heads in shame”.

Experts at Edinburgh City Council said the former Rangers owner should not be given the go-ahead for thousands of homes on green belt land until a local plan was fully developed.

But in a bizarre move councillors berated them and gave Murray the green light anyway.

The first phase of Murray’s Garden District will see 1320 homes and a primary school built between the City Bypass and Gogar Station Road in west Edinburgh.

Developer Murray Estates eventually plan to construct a £1billion development of 6000 homes as well as a 60-acre “national garden”.

But the Greens condemned the proposals. The Party's planning spokesman, Councillor Nigel Bagshaw,said: “Edinburgh needs more housing in compact and well-serviced neighbourhoods, making use of existing brownfield sites.

“Sticking the adjective ‘garden’ in front of a development neither makes it green nor in the city’s best interest.

“Edinburgh needs more housing – affordable housing in compact and well-serviced neighbourhoods, making use of existing brownfield sites.

“It absolutely does not need developments like this – suburban sprawl, greenbelt-wrecking and with poor links to transport, walking and cycling.

“The planning committee members who backed this scheme should hang their heads in shame.”

Alison Johnstone, Scottish Green MSP for Lothian, added: “I would urge the full council to see sense and overturn the planning committee’s decision, which smacks of desperation.

“The city council’s energies should be going into transforming existing brownfield sites that have good infrastructure connections and bringing empty properties back into use.”

After the latest decision, phase one will go before the full council next month to be ratified, then will be *referred to the Scottish Government for final approval.

Murray Estates, said: “We believe this will be a world class extension to the capital and will become one of the city’s most successful developments.”

Bumps his ex-employees pension fund, old companies being wound up at a loss AND 'involved' in what will, no doubt, eventually turn out to be the biggest financial fraud in World Football - but that doesn't matter for our City Council ??. Surely there'll be an investigation into this ??

The system is a fix. If you have no scruples you can keep on making money.

What is the point of employing expert advisors and developing planning guidelines if you then ignore the advice and break the rules? There is a strange and subtle kind of corruption that permeates at all levels in the UK.

If only we had politicians brave enough to change the system.

Over in Edinburgh, Tynecastle will definitely* have a bigger capacity than Easter Road once the new main stand is built.

*Hearts FC reserve the right to count some seats twice. Rumoured target of 21902 (ho ho) has now been abandoned.

Mike Ashley loses court fight over Scottish FA fine

Mike Ashley has failed in a court fight over a fine imposed by the Scottish FA over his influence at Rangers.

The businessman had sought judicial review over the decision of the governing body to levy the £1000 sanction, claiming an error in law had been made.

MASH Holdings Limited, of which Ashley is the 100% shareholder, entered a credit facility arrangement with Rangers in October 2014.

As part of the conditions of the loan, his associate Derek Llambias was nominated and subsequently appointed as a director of Rangers International Football Club plc and its subsidiary Rangers Football Club Limited.

Ashley is forbidden under the rules of the Scottish FA from having influence over Rangers beyond his 9% shareholding because of his majority stake in English Championship club Newcastle United.

A judicial panel ruled that he had breached those rules as a result of MASH loaning Rangers money.

In his opinion, Lord Brodie agreed with the view of the Scottish FA's compliance officer that Ashley, through MASH, had through the "very granting of the right to nominate directors in and of itself gave rise to the possibility of the petitioner influencing the affairs of two clubs."

Is that all, sure the 'big team' could get a 60,000 stadium lol

**Famous Fiver** · 10-06-2016 11:38 AM

Pity it wasn't Lord Brodie adjudicating on whether the use of EBTs had provided an unfair advantage.

Could have been an entirely different outcome.

***grunt*** · 10-06-2016 11:53 AM

James Doleman ‏@jamesdoleman 4m4 minutes agoWhile much of the debate at Ashley v SFA centered on the long running club/company debate Lord Brodie makes no reference to it. 1/2

So a decisive legal judgment on that vexed question remains to be made. 2/2

They have just signed 37 old year old Clint Hill, freed by QPR. Strangely the story on their official site contains 0 quotes from, or indeed mentions of, the de-hatted Warbmeister. Curious?

**kaimendhibs** · 17-06-2016 03:13 PM

Was wondering about that as well. He really has vanished😄

***Ozyhibby*** · 17-06-2016 04:31 PM

Allegedly not been in touch with anyone at Ibrox since the cup final.

Warburton is due to finish his Pro Licence qualifications in the next couple of weeks which will make him a more attractive candidate for clubs down south.

His silence since the cup final is bizarre and with no confirmation of a new contract then you've got to wonder if he's happy with the broken promises of the Hun board.

**Finn2015** · 17-06-2016 04:43 PM

Expect the daily record devoting the sports pages to why clint hill is the best defender ever and will bring much needed experience blah blah blah

His current contract runs till June 2018 ,so no rush from his point of view to sign a new deal ,unless the terms suit him . But the fact contract talks have broken down according to some papers indicates maybe all is not well

Looks like King's overspending is finally kicking in - Hill was a half decent footballer and exceptional "hard man" up until about 2013/14 but can't see him doing much in Scotland - the Rangers are beginning to look like a rest home for ageing no marks or players in the twilight of their careers who couldn't hack it in England now. Celtc must be quaking in their boots.
