trooper 940 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 €42m? Christ on a bike. Imagine what kind of return they must get for that outlay it must be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31201 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I really can't see a massive benefit to SD in Ashley's ownership of Rangers. I honestly think it's all part of a game to Ashley that he's determined to win with no clue as to what to do when he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers are going to end up back in the SPL eventually, and who knows, he might even push for them to enter the EPL one day. Buy low, sell high. Extrapolation of that would suggest that he's doing the same with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers is a big football brand and he can get exclusive rights to distribute merchandise to a fan base that are voracious in their appetite for club branded gear. Sports Direct plastered all over Ibrox, all over the shirts, it's vile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Rangers surrender to Mike Ashley7 mins ago by Jackie Smithfield The probably inevitable outcome has come to pass, Rangers have today fallen under the control of Mike Ashley. The Glasgow club turned down a last minute emergency loan of £3m from the owner of Sale Sharks rugby team, Brian Kennedy. With the other competitor Dave King having departed without getting anywhere, it means that Rangers fans are facing a future with Mike Ashley. Only a few weeks ago Ashley refused to put any money into a rights issue to help pay bills, though then bought shares privately from another shareholder, but now has had his initial offer of a £2m instant loan accepted by the Rangers board. Already controlling the club’s retail division of the club and famously buying the naming rights for a pound, now this morning the Press Association report that the Directors voted to accept Mike Ashley’s loan and everything that goes with that. The writing was on the wall yesterday when Finance Director Phil Nash resigned, he being one of the two Directors Ashley had intended to force out via a special shareholders meeting. The Press Association saying that their sources reported that Mike Ashley was ‘keen to increase his involvement at Rangers’. Recently, Newcastle United bizarrely stated on Ashley’s behalf that he would be at United until at least the end of the 2015/16 season. Many observers taking that to mean he intends to sell Newcastle then – as ever with Mike Ashley though, we have come to expect the unexpected, sadly.
