P45 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I thought the SFA couldn't actually do anything to stop Ashley increasing his stake. If they do, and they deny him then they are effectively sending the club into administration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do, and they deny him then they are effectively sending the club into administration. That'll be why it's been brought before the compliance officer and he has brought a notice of complaint against the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 They cant but then again there is not a lot Ashley can do to stop the SFA punishing him and the club for breaking agreements without prior consent. I dare say the threat of Rangers going bankrupt again will be enough for the SFA to shite out of any punitive charges or fines. Doncaster, Regan et al are desperate for Rangers to make the Premiership ASAP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Is it now a case of Mike Ashley or bust? Can't believe all this is happening again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL and SFA boards are made of reps from the clubs remember, not just those two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Shocking if true. Keith Jackson seemingly on the case, I guess he could just ask Somers to deny the emails validity. I really really really hope the SFA come down like a ton of bricks on Ashley and refuse his more shares request and demand that his director is removed, the only way Mike will listen is if they threaten to take the license away, I have no doubt if Ashley is forced out he will take the foundations away but I just want this to end, even if it means the end of my club, Scottish football has had enough of this fiasco. At this stage - were a credible alternative, FC United of Manchester style, to start taking shape - how much support do you think it would get? Would you get behind it, yourself. even if it meant playing in the Juniors/no longer a team in blue at Ibrox/no more crowing about 54 titles etc.? Genuine question, and one that surely a fair few fans are going to start asking given the succession of profit-hungry goons that have been bleeding your club dry in recent years.

dave.j Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Plenty of decent fans from other clubs have expressed that they are sick of this pantomime. Ah right, so just some folk you've heard? I thought the way you proclaimed such a statement, it actually had some validity. Scottish Football has had enough of this fiasco, take a tissue, dry yer eyes and man up. At least Sommers was right about one thing, you've only got yourselves to blame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have acted under the "fit and proper persons" rule long before now. With regard to the reps of the member Clubs........Had the fans of each Club not threatened to walk away from the game en masse I dare say Rangers/Sevco would have been straight into the SPL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you really like to happen? You can't rely on the SFA or the sycophantic hacks. I never thought that I would say this but I am now starting to feel sorry for the genuine fans, not the loudmouths and the bigots but the guys who go to Ibrox and want to watch good football.

Tim Malloy Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 No Dave I am talking about fans on this site, just because you maybe happy with this soap opera dragging out does not mean the majority of fans are. Have you done a poll? Most seem delighted that Cheat Fc are getting their comeuppance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Oh I believe they do want Rangers back in the premiership but I am not so sure that they are willing to allow Mike to publically go back on the share issue or employing his own people, basically he is making a mockery out of their rules without prior consent, what kind of picture is this going to put out. If they just wanted to go along with this then they could have just done a deal behind the scenes, instead they have publically charged the club and MA, I never expected this. Is that not just down to Mike Ashley not bothering his arse to respond to the SFA's letters? When it comes to Rangers & Celtic the SFA tend to follow the maxim: if you owe the bank £1000 it's your problem, if you owe the bank £5m it's their problem.........with Rangers & Celtic owing the £5m and the SFA being the bank! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I want the soap opera over, an Ashley led Rangers with crowds of 15k-20k is only going to end one way anyway, why draw it out? How's it going to end? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Malloy Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 No need to start dishing out abuse just because we disagree on something, a Dundee Utd fan said exactly the same thing as I did earlier yesterday, he certainly has been no fan of Rangers and has joined in laughing at our demise. For definition of abuse see todays AGM entrance by Somers and co. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abuse? I said it was a stupid statement. It's fact, not abuse.

Just because you read some pie n bovril posters opinion, doesn't mean Scottish Football wants the pantomime to end. Never mind panto, it's getting to be like a soap opera whose ratings are falling so they introduce a horendous train crash or romantic catastrophe (or AGM) to lure the audience back. It really is getting beyond a joke. (but I'm still laughing) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Scottish football has had enough of this fiasco. Debatable. Been uber busy today, just catching up. Diddies wet dream springs to mind, hard to believe some this stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) As I said plenty of 'decent' fans do.And plenty of decent fans don't. Why not just save the both of us going through this, and say, "fair cop, it was a stupid sweeping generalisation". You could have saved the pair of us a lot of time.
