Pete's Frontier Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Did they make pay roll, or has Ashley loaned the second £5m tranche? I like how he has put his two place men on new contracts. King Rat is going to have to dig deep if he wants them out. The Orc garden is going to be crowded, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DepecheBhoy Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've still to see anybody produce a half decent outline of what Dave King will do if he does manage to win the vote on Friday. Is there an actual plan and if not why the clapping seal routine? It seems to me that he may get in but quite quickly become a bit of a lame duck due to the contracts, debts and securities currently held against the club. /i also wouldn't rule out Mr King doing similar things to Charles Green. Say all the "right things" and do a bit of saber rattling with the fan meanwhile smuggling his own pound of flesh out the back door with some of his cronies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Is it just me, or could this whole charade just be being conducted to lever the cash from mugs who have rejected subsequent share issues, merchandise & season ticket sales? Wouldn't surprise me if the "requesitioners" were in cahoots with those presently in charge, for a place at the trough.

CityDave Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 From earlier on http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/andy-goram-tells-sfa-dave-5260226 The bottom part of the article has this - "But it doesn't seem like there is much point of the EGM going ahead if there is only going to be two directors left. They should resign now and let King get on with it. "Even if they do that I'm not sure that will be the last we see of Ashley's presence at the club though. I've heard that Ashley is still allowed to nominate two directors to the board so if Llambias and Leach go, two more will come in. "I'm not sure how tight that deal is but I don't think is right." There will have to be some kind of compromise between the two to work together if this is the case. If not we could see more shambles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Any clue to who bought up David Somers shares in Rangers?

CityDave Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Or Dave can just repay the loaned money. If Dave doesn't repay the money, expect another public offering hoping for the bears to fund King's spending spree. City investors will not be burned twice, especially with King's stated aims. I don't think it will be that easy to shake of Mike Ashley and even if King wins control and Ashleys lackeys are shoved out the door as AG said Ashley is still entitled to bring in replacements so the club could still be pulled in two different directions. If King repays the loan it will make little difference to Ashley's continuing influence over the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What company do you suggest, Dave? If it's a company that operates a football club then i've already done that. Not necessarily Scottish based though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag Nation Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I don't understand the concern over the "onerous" contracts with Ashley. AFAIK, Rangers/Sevco get 50p for every £10 spent on Rangers merchandise. That actually sounds like quite a good deal, for zero risk and zero investment, particularly since SD are the the experts and market leaders and are likely to flog more kit than any of the alternatives. And what are the alternatives? (1) A similar deal with AN Other Sport, who by definition aren't as good as SD, or (2) start a new Rangers retail operation from scratch, with no funding and no expertise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The condition of the two directors were part of the loan agreement .... I doubt DK will repay the money. Ashley will still have his onerous contracts but his influence over board room decisions will be greatly reduced if the loans are repaid ... Isn't the SFA disciplinary hearing for Mike Ashley today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will have to be some kind of compromise between the two to work together if this is the case. If not we could see more shambles. I mentioned these two votes for mike a couple of weeks ago. I asked if the two guys are voted off the board....and mike still has the right to pick another two board members under the terms of the loan.....could he not pick those same two guys and Reinstate them asap....think tedi answered this question and said it couldn't be done... Can't remember the reason tbh, you could go back through the pages and look for the reason he gave me or just ask him and he will let you know.
