Still defending the indefensible , unbelievable. , Ibrox was built in memory of those who died in the disaster, this self serving Kant causes it to be mortgaged to his benefit. That, for me and many, is enough to want him out! It's about morals and memories .
But, you keep on Stevie, you keep on !

That's all very well when there is no alternative, but there are a few

For sure? Football can be unpredictable sometimes, especially old firm games ,it's one of the reasons people love the game

it's the only option for Ashley though. He wanted to fund the club via shares

I can't believe Stevie has flipped in favour of Ashley again

It's not the only option for Ashley ---- he can fack off!

For me it all comes back to the commercial deal, the deal that Ashley has been alleged to have described as "the best deal I've ever done".

I don't think Ashley wants to own Rangers outright, he wants enough clout to protect his commercial interests. A Mike Ashley bloc of shares that he can rely on to ensure he can milk the club through sponsorship and shirt sales but above all else prevent his lucrative deals being undone.

He wanted that magic 29.9% of the club and control of the boardroom with allies like Blue Pitch, the Easdales etc to have that magic 50% +1 to keep the money flowing in.

As far as the shirt deal goes, even if Rangers don't sell loads of merchandise, the club is obligated to buy it from SD at a special price.

Its free money and if there is one thing we are all agreed on then Mike Ashley is a man who loves money. This sort of deal appeals to his ego and he's prepared to milk it and create other similar deals to extract value.

"As far as the shirt deal goes, even if Rangers don't sell loads of merchandise, the club is obligated to buy it from SD at a special price."

Interesting stuff given the pìsh I was gettin a coupla week ago over buyin a fitba top...eh coop?

Coop

The club still has Ibrox at the moment, and will continue to have it unless we can't pay that loan back.

Am I comfortable with it being used in this way....no

But have we lost it....no

Let's see where we are end of January, I am not fully backing any horse here, I'm just simply not writing off Ashley because he has the audacity to use one of the clubs few remaining assets to get the security he needs in order to get control seeing as he cant buy shares.

The sfa have somewhat forced Ashley to go down this route.

Park is looking to use Murray park to his own ends and I don't hear him getting this abuse

King has chosen the cheap option yet again, no loan offer put forward, just a vote. Might work this time seeing as he finally put his hand in his pocket, but king hasn't even passed the sfa fit and proper test himself yet so Fcj knows what will happen if he is voted on to the board and the sfa say he isn't fit and proper.

I flung my weight behind Ashley before, this move has made me doubt if that was correct, I am entirely open to the fact that I may have been wrong all and I'll take all the abuse going if I am, but it hasn't been proven yet has it?

I'd just rather be honest than be a sheep, Ashley could still be a good route for us to take to get out of this mess if his intentions are to milk us while improving us.

Nothing that has happened so far can prove unequivocally that this cannot and will not happen.

Don't blame me for that being the truth and simply saying as much.....I can't help the fact that it's the truth mate
