The_Kincardine Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 So effectively no change and a quote from a fan saying 'humiliation' Can't wait for the herald to curl up its toes, just like rangers. You using less common words that don't actually describe the situation makes you look a bit silly kinky. Your old club cheated, you didn't deny it and I thought for a moment you might be making progress. But it seems you want to act like a child. Why is the success of a bunch of cheats that important to you? I mean I could understand it if it was earned but I simply can't imagine having low enough self esteem that the achievements of cheats would be worth anything to anyone. Dave King Getting Shirty Was worried that BRALT might disappear now that Sevco have finally made into the Premiership for the first time. Probably not much point coming back until they experience their first financial meltdown, although Sevco are always good for a few yuks when their dignity slips. As Div said, the 'usual' threads remain but are hidden. Funny to see the usual idiots needing their BRALT-fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE KING Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 So effectively no change and a quote from a fan saying 'humiliation' Can't wait for the herald to curl up its toes, just like rangers.Yip zero change ,as I predicted a couple of weeks ago Ashley simply gives his control to a mate and stays in control, and some gullible bears believed their racist hero that Ashley would be forced to walk away because of dual influence...And the only humiliation is the Herald and its L5 puff piece, 4p for every £ lies and comments from Uncle Fester. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE KING Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 It could be that with Newcastle being relegated that this places Ashley in a dilemma, he is not allowed to have commercial interests in a Scottish club, I imagine the English football league would look dimly on him trying to secure this interest. Is there anything to stop Ashley from just 'giving' his shares to a mate? Ooffft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE KING Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Mike Ashley "humiliation" as he steps down from Rangers' retail board http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/homenews/14539708.Mike_Ashley__humiliation__as_he_steps_down_from_Rangers__retail_board/?ref=rss MIKE Ashley is understood to have stepped down from the board of Rangers Retail raising hopes the billionaire may be poised to loosen his grip over the merchandising arm of the Ibrox club. It is understood that Mr Ashley, the owner of Sports Direct, and the firm's chief executive, David Forsey, have tendered their resignations from Rangers Retail Limited, on Friday. The move comes amid attempts to hold a Rangers Retail board meeting where it was expected challenging questions would be asked about the merchandising deal which means only 4p from every pound spent in the Ibrox store is banked by the Old Firm outfit. It is not immediately clear whether Sports Direct will replace Ashley and Forsey on the Rangers Retail board. When the joint venture between Rangers and Sports Direct was confirmed by then chief executive Charles Green in August 2012, it was promoted as enabling Rangers "to once again control its retail operation and give supporters the chance to buy direct from the club and in doing so, continue to invest in its future". But last month the Rangers board - unhappy with their return on the venture - served notice to cancel the merchandise deal with Rangers Retail Limited, controlled by Sports Direct. Intellectual property experts said that the move looked destined for a courtroom battle. But it is understood that no challenge has yet been lodged by Sports Direct, which has a controlling vote on “financial matters†concerning Rangers Retail. Two weeks ago Rangers launched a civil court action against four of the club's former executives, Sports Direct and its owner Mike Ashley. The case brought against former chief executives Charles Green and Derek Llambias, former commercial director Imran Ahmad, former financial director Brian Stockbridge, SportsDirect.com Retail and Mr Ashley is being dealt with at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. It is understood the action concerns the controversial merchandise deal. But fans group Sons of Struth has refused to call off its boycott of club merchandise which was launched in protest against the deal with the Mike Ashley company. The boardroom changes leaves Cameron Olsen as the only Sports Direct representative on the Rangers Retail board, acting as company secretary. He currently acts as head of legal and company secretary of Sports Direct. The remaining Rangers Retail directors are club chairman Dave King and director Paul Murray. One fans group source welcomed the news saying the resignations would be a "humiliation" for Mr Ashley who is also the Newcastle United owner, and has a near nine per cent shareholding in Rangers. He said: "It looks like Ashley has had to back off rather than face the questions of Dave King and Paul Murray at any Rangers Retail board meeting." It is understood that new Rangers strips cannot be sold because of Rangers' move to terminate the merchandising contracts. Club chairman Dave King has tried on several occasions to renegotiate the retail deal but the club has previously indicated that he has been rebuffed at every turn by Ashley. But was thought that Ashley may be forced to ease his control of the club's commercial activities following Newcastle's relegation to the Sky Bet Championship as the governing body, the Football League operates stricter rules on dual ownership than in the English Premier League. The Rangers Retail set up has been a long-lasting area of controversy and at the end of 2014 the Rangers Supporters Trust launched an alternative shirt for fans as they took on Mr Ashley - and said all profits would be ploughed back into an increased shareholding in their club. The previous 10-year licence agreement with sports retailer JJB Sports rubber stamped in 2006, was worth a minimum of £48 million to the club. The club got an initial payment of £18 million when they launched an Umbro home kit and were guaranteed a minimum annual royalty of £3 million in each year of the licence. Rangers declined to comment on the development. Sports Direct were approached for comment. And 24hrs later the Herald print this... "MIKE Ashley's Sports Direct have hit back in the fight over the merchandising arm of Rangers, by appointing a new director known as a legal enforcer in branding. Justin Barnes who has served as international brand manager of Sports Direct International Plc and is known as an expert in intellectual property law has been appointed to the Rangers Retail board while Mr Ashley, the billionaire Sports Direct owner and the firm's chief executive David Forsey tendered their resignations." -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Monkey Tennis must be dusting off his old golf clubs. Nah, they remain dusty. Hopefully that'll change a bit in the next few weeks though. It is however sweet that you miss my contributions. In truth, I'm not too happy that all these Rangers threads have now been dumped in the Celtic/Rangers section. It seems to confirm what lots of OF supporting cretins already believe, about criticism for one cheek, implying an affection for the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
