The Fish 10965 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 To be fair, her sister did art at college (or whatever) and I had to be aware of a picture she did of the outlines of 5 men, which was (deliberately) placed at the end of her bed in her old place, so I think she's getting off lightly.

David Kelly 1260 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'm sure there must be some logical reason why he could have took legal action if they hadn't accepted his offer but I can't see it in that article. I can't really see why Rangers would want to accept his offer at all if I'm honest. It just seems to be giving him control over their assets which blatently seems to be something he wants for his own purposes, rather than to benefit the club at all. Obviously they're in a pretty desperate financial position but each article I read suggests there are other people making offers too. Are they worse than him?

Happy Face 29 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Didn't King want to appoint the chairman, but Ashley only demanded to appoint chief exec and another role. Easdale stays as chairman in this set up, so it got the approval over the King offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 There's few clubs in the world deserve Ashley more than Rangers. I'd be delighted if he sold us and bought them 100%. He is made for them, fat alcoholic cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31202 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 He has loaned Rangers a further £1m and they've come out and said that they're still going to need further finance before the end of the year. I can only see this going one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33842 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm worried he'll end up having his Rangers cake and still get to eat his NUFC one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31202 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Would Ashley owning Rangers have a negative impact on us? It offers us the possibility of using Rangers as a feeder club, sending our young players there for first team experience, possibly picking off their better players at decent prices? More than likely I can't see it making a much difference to his running of NUFC, can it get much worse for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley's interests in football are purely business, so no I can't see his ownership of Rangers having an effect on us beyond pre-season friendlies and somewhere to send the kids.

If they and we qualify for Europa (stop laughing), he has a conflict which is not allowed. My assumtion is he will have Sports Direct on their shirts soon, because it's the only advertising allowed in european games outside of official partners so his stadium adverts would get covered up. That being the case, I have a nagging fear he would withdraw NUFC from the competition to avoid the conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31202 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Yeah but Watford are unlikely to qualify for the EL any time soon. As part of an agreement with the SFA he isn't allowed to own more than 10% of Rangers while he owns Newcastle. He's currently handing money to a business that is continuing to lose money with little prospect of them repaying him. At first glance this is very poor business practice. However, I reckon that when Rangers fail to repay him what he is owed the club and SFA will both agree to him accepting capital in the club in lieu of his cash and that is how he'll take majority control.

The Fish 10965 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Can't see him relinquishing control of Newcastle any time soon, so won't he simply use the dissolution of Rangers (again) as a threat to cow the SFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31202 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Aye, that's pretty much the tactic I can see him adopting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10965 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I think he can rely on the likelihood that Newcastle won't get into Europe. We'd either need a cup victory, which is laughable, or gaining access via the league which, in the current model, is just as laughable. How many spots go to England now? 6? I cannot see it being an issue we need to face any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
