WeeHectorPar Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 The rules for the SFA , FA or any any individual domestic associations were written for members clubs operating within their own domestic set/up. They were not introduced to prevent individuals having a shareholding or investments in clubs in other countries/domains. Each country would have the same rule in order to comply with any fair play/competition in Europe ... How an association determines ownership or restricts investment between member clubs within it's own members may well be legal .. I doubt if it applies or is legal to impose it rules to clubs over shareholdings or investment business decisions made in other associations ... That would be the remit of UEFA if anybody .... the SFA rules cannot be in breach of commercial/civil laws either. If anyone thinks this is clear cut issue either way they are kidding themselves ... Most liklely solution is that the SFA will bend over ... I doubt the FA give a flying f**k. Obvious that the English FA don't give a toss about Rangers as they don't want them playing down there but then... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribzanelli Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 It shows you how little credibility some of the bears brain trust on here have that after championing the glib and shameless liar to get his mitts on the club/company despite him never meeting the fit and proper person criteria, they are now quoting the rule book as a reason to keep Ashley from taking control 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) You would think, of any group of fans, it would be the orcs who would know that the football governing bodies will change their rule book on a whim and without regard for the greater good of the game.

Monkey Tennis Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) No8 remarked the other day on King apparently scaring the life out of Ps and Ds. Well this particular D is much more worried by Ashley and is actually a bit gutted by this development. What latest events mean is that we won't get the deliciousness of an administration with the the title and maybe even a play-off spot evaporating. Instead, promotion via either route now looks likely. If Rangers get up this year, do ok next and maybe win a Cup, all of which is eminently affordable from what Ashley carries in his pocket, then loads and loads of polyester shirts will shift. It's in Ashley' s interests for Rangers to first of all exist, and then do quite well. He needs to strike a balance between what he needs to spend and what he can make, but I'd imagine he's skilled at doing such things. Seriously, I honestly believe this is Rangers' best day since the re-birth. Edited October 25, 2014 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doink Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Coisty wanted King. Ashley is a terrific business man who will sort the mess out and get the club back. Far more reliable than the likes of King 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 The SFA want your team back in the top league......you understand this don't you? The SFA will bend and alter any and ALL rules to assist your incompetent organisation into an elevated position they really don't deserve. Corporate foxes like Ashley see pound signs not "Loyal" fans and historical glories.. Paranoid drivel. More paranoid drivel. Aye there's lots of pounds to be made at Rangers, why bother with one of the largest EPL clubs lol You really are a bit of a nutter mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I seem to remember that this new club was "debt free" with 70M pounds to spend. :lol: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis pakora Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Not for the first - or last - time Bennett..... you neither read, hear or understand what you are talking about. Ashley WILL be in charge at BasketCase FC soon enough. And that invevesment will be secure with Mike Ashley . Why would a businesse man like MA want to lose money? Be afraid p+bears,be afraid..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously Bennett, I think you're missing the point here. Ashley can retain his huge stake in Newcastle, while feeding Rangers sufficient crumbs to ensure they're a Scottish force. This of course cannot net him TV fortunes, but he can sell loads of shirts and any other trade mark related stuff he can tie up for himself. This is the point. It's actually shit news for the rest of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I've met Derek Llambias a few times and he's a ¢unt. if you think previous ¢unts were bad, he's worse. If all the ¢unts got together to have a vote who the biggest ¢unt was, Llambias would win it out the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis pakora Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Caller on the radio "Rangers have one of the biggest fan bases in the world" Hiya mince fc,hiya pal.How's is your old bigot friend Phil getting on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis pakora Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 its not an investment, its a loan to see the club through to the end of the season. Of course its an investment. Why would he loan a basket case like Rangers money if he thought he wasn't getting that money back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No8. Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 So in effect, with the interest Rangers will have to pay Ashley back , Rangers are actually paying Ashley to take the club on. MT you can dress this up any way you want this is by far the worse case scenario for Rangers. There is now literally nothing left at Ibrox. Everything has been sold off to the lowest bidder..the latest case we are paying someone to take over the running of the boardroom and allowing them to sack our CEO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually shit news for the rest of us. He really can't, the SFA have already stated that his influence must be limited in the boardroom while he owns Newcastle, that should be clear by now. Secondly as things stand right now he won't be selling that many shirts Finally as it also stands right now Rangers have lost millions and will continue to do so for the next 4.5 yrs thanks to many onerous deals. AShley took a gamble on the retail side and will probably wipe his hands soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Border Reiver Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Bennett not taking today's news well. Vicky may I suggest you protest by boycotting hiding the Celtic rags in sports direct, Yes I know it's your only meaningful pursuit but it would sure show Mike Ashley. edited fur shpelling Edited October 25, 2014 by Border Reiver 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
