~~~ Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The champions league only allows advertising from official sponsors at the grounds. Yeah, unless he had them on the shirt nobody would see it around the ground 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The champions league only allows advertising from official sponsors at the grounds. But if the game is played at The Sports Direct Shitehole.....or whatever name Ashley gives it that name will appear often enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 But if the game is played at The Sports Direct Shitehole.....or whatever name Ashley gives it that name will appear often enough. A completely moot point, anyway - why invest millions of pounds to maybe, possibly, win the SPL (against a Celtic side who would presumably also invest heavily to reassert themselves), and then maybe, possibly get through the qualifying rounds to the group stages? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Border Reiver Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Just can't see Ashley get much bang for his buck. Stadium name and or shirt sponsor for what will be one or two qualifiers with maybe a one in a hundred chance of the group stages would seem like a long shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeHectorPar Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) A completely moot point, anyway - why invest millions of pounds to maybe, possibly, win the SPL (against a Celtic side who would presumably also invest heavily to reassert themselves), and then maybe, possibly get through the qualifying rounds to the group stages? This is exactly the reason why the King option is a total disaster. £30m will take them nowhere. The bears are hoping that in their first year back in the SPL they will win it and then immediately get to at least the QF of the CL. King's 30 quid will be spunked away in no time, especially if Ally is still there. They are not going to find a Russian oligarch or an Arab sheik so they need to accept that the best they will get is someone like Ashley who will put in money as long as he can get it back with a profit.

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Ashley buying into Rangers to get (a highly unlikely) six games worth of Champions League exposure when he owns a team that plays in the most televised league in the world which again this week is making noises about playing games in foreign countries? Come on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Boss .. since Tedi has accused me of being a bigot and a sectarian (bearing in mind I was a serving soldier in NI and I am Protestant) Tedi accused you of that? Right I shall have words with him. To quote Molesworth, as any fule knoe any man who says, "I can't be a bigot, I'm a Protestant ex-squaddie" must be taken at his word. Teds will be told this emphatically. Right now he's out the back door grooming the goat for a big ludge smoker tomorrow but on his return I will not mince my words. Edit: Is my membership transferable and can it be sold? Absolutely. Club 411 membership is fully tradable on the open market and demand is high. I may even have a buyer: You may have made me chuckle but that doesn't mean you're forgiven for my exclusion from the 411. Three points to bear in mind: 1. The acquirer has to assume your membership name prefaced by 'the'. Ergo the new owner of your Club 411 membership would have to be The_Dhenbhoy. 2. Any titles, trophies, gewgaw and baubles you acquired in your time in Club 411 are mine. I bought your history.. 3. Any blokes who shave their legs in the pursuance of their sport, especially if said sport is of a velocipedic nature, have to wear long breeks at all Club 411 events.

G-MAN Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 i think everyone knows ashley is a businessman first given his first loyalty will be to his biggest earner so try and work out his motive in why he wants to gain control of rangers getting these advertising boards into the champions league have to be a reason cl means bigger viewing figures therfore a wider advertising potential getting cl football will come at a price and the current set up and playing squad isnt good enough Sevco in the Champions League ? Ashley going to be there that long aye ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookies Love Me Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 sports direct sell online and already have shops in belgium, austria,ireland and the baltic countries and since the expansion into europe have seen sales rise by 23.5% in 2013 expected 26% this year biggest sports retailer in latvia, lithuania and estonia and has over a 120 shops in these countries i meantioned So, surely the better option would be to invest in a team from one of the Baltic countries? (and where the teams will get further than The rangers) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 what do you mean? seems obvious the club need money to move to the next level. no cash no progress Fabulous perspicacity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 sports direct are the biggest sports retailer in the uk so why do that? your thinking everything stays the same and never changes while sports direct plan to open shops all over europe. my thinking rangers are an investment for ashley and a vehicle to promote his company you see now there are serious trust issues from supporters regarding anyone with ambitions to invest in the club hence calls to boycott sports direct there are some very confused football fans out there Things are changing. After UKIP wins the next election it will be onerous for British companies to do business in Europe when the UK will no longer be a part of the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I see that Attila the *** died in 453. Shame it's only the 411 club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magoo9uk Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Boss .. since Tedi has accused me of being a bigot and a sectarian (bearing in mind I was a serving soldier in NI and I am Protestant) does that place my membership in jeopardy or enhance my benefit rights under the rewards scheme? Yours sincerely One of the Loyal 411 Edit: Is my membership transferable and can it be sold? Dear Dhenboy, How about you change your name to "Protestant ex squaddie who served in N.I" and save us all some time. Yours tongue in cheekly Magoo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 you hoping? interesting you talk up a bunch of closet racists whos policies will affect all british companies not just sports direct just because of your hatred for a football club....outstanding. No, not hoping. I didn't 'talk them up', I was merely using a current event to illustrate one aspect your lack of comprehension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 and what aspect in my supposed lack of comprehension are you guessing i lack? Dear crayon muncher, I'm not playing any more. I'm only here to laugh at Sevco/The Rangers/International Fannies or whatever they are called. I don't want to "debate" with members of Bleda's horde.
