WhiteRoseKillie Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 What, exactly, is it that the berz think makes Mr G&S different from the last couple of saviours? I mean, there were suspicions about the MBB and Chuckie, but King has a proven record of dishonesty and theft. From the outside, Ashley looks like a safer bet for stability, but we're already hearing talk of titles and European football from supporters of King. Honestly, I'm struggling to understand the optimism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Utter nonsense. Very few businessmen make money from football clubs. They invest in clubs for a whole host of reasons and making money for themselves would not be anywhere near the top of the list Please expand on this "whole host of reasons". Please note I'm not talking about the uber-rich Abramovich types who have enough money that they can throw it away for a laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Just walked past Paul Murray walking on Grove Street in Edinburgh. Grove Street. Home. At least it was before I fucked everything up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Koop Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Owner of football company makes money from club. Shocker. Little grasp indeed. I guess the subtext was that he's making money, taking a fat dividend and not chucking money into warchests for overpaid Dutch half talents and dubious tax mechanisms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I know Sevconians are monumentally thick but do they really believe football club owners are just playing a higher-level version of Championship Manager? Are they just trying to get back to a nice comfortable dreamland where a Minty Moonbeams figure has unlimited cash to allow them to steamroller everything in sight? Stupid visigoths.

nsr Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 nonsense, he has tied the club up in so many ways creaming the fans money off at every opportunity while employing liars to do his dirty work. He has alienated his customer base, which is bad for any business, the Rangers fans were just more proactive and have united in a common aim to rid their club of a parasite. Please do not ever put "Rangers fans" and "proactive" in the same sentence again. The Internet might explode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO unlikely but they will probably end up a top six club, given time. That is if they don't go down the overspending route...................Oh never mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Koop Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The "The company's " money ? The club that orbited the Earth after the parent company died .... 's money, perhaps. I have this picture of Evil Mike sending Ustache-style squads to the homes of Gers fans to extort money from them with menaces then, ten minutes later, a van shows up and leaves Puma kit and season tickets on their doorsteps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Koop Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Who are you talking about then? Take it to the other extreme from Chelsea...Are the owners of East Stirlingshire in it for personal financial gain? Slightly different state of affairs there. I am not sure how many rapacious millionaires have pumped the Shire for a few bob. Chelsea is a bawble, a vanity purchase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about either extreme. I'm talking about the likes of Mike Ashley, people who are involved in serious investments in big clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
