Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread - All chat here!


Recommended Posts

So Ashley now has fixed securities over all the properties apart from Ibrox (which he has a floatiing charge over anyway), 65% of Rangers Retails, the shirt sponsorship AND two directors of his own choice, making his decisions for him, on the board?

:lol:

He's sewing this up quite nicely.

Just sitting reading 'Ashley loans The Rangers 10 million, some of which will be used to repay a previous loan given by Ashley' is absurd, obscene, and a complete embarrassment. Seriously, what the fcuk? Can you imagine asking a mate for a loan of fifty quid, then a month later, when the situation is awkward as you never repaid it - instead of going up to him, apologising, and handing him the fifty quid, you say 'any chance of lending me a hundred quid so I can pay you back the fifty I owe you? Cheers mate! Seriously fcuked in the head.

Technically I think this loan is Sports Direct, the last one was from Ashley personally, but I'm not sure.

Loans from different companies/sources with the same owner, where have I heard that before...

As usual we can only guess at the intentions of Mike Ashley and Sports Direct. However, despite the loan, there is very little to suggest that the club is moving forward in any shape or form.

So, initially there is a £5million tranch secured against pretty much everything apart from Ibrox and has drastically increased Ashleys grip on the retail arm. That'll pay back the initial loan and probably cover the bills for another month.

The bottom line is that if Dave King and the three bears want control of Rangers then the amount of up front cash required to take it from Ashley just increased drastically.

Failure to get promoted, an incredible but increasingly likely possibility, could be the final nail.

I don't even think Ashley himself thought it would be this easy. He has the club where he wants them, and I doubt it'll be long before something gives and he makes his move.

They should've taken that American boy's money when it was there.

Ah, right. So it's like going to a mate, asking for a loan of fifty quid, which he gives you from his current account, then a month later, instead of paying it back, you ask him for a loan of a hundred quid - but you want him to use his joint account with the missus'.

Makes sense now.

So an admission that the club is a company. Incorporated as Sevco Scotland Limited on 29/05/12, changed name to current name on 31/7/12.

So much for 140 year, going strong, same club, etc.

This loan solves the immediate problem, but what about the long-term strategy?

Oh yes, it's "allowing the Company time to arrange permanent capital which can be used for strengthening the playing squad."

So another share issue, This time you'll be asked to "invest" in buying players for a second-tier team with no manager, no scouting network, and a dismal record of financial mis-management. Don't all rush at once.

Seems to me the fans of Sevco Scotland - the club, the company, the holding company, the ethereal entity that cannot die, even if a stake was plunged through its' heart weilded by Christopher Lee reeking of garlic and wearing a sellik' tap'.... have had a problem. That problem was where to focus all their anger and frustration. Sir Minty? Sir Craigie of Whyte? Charlie 'hospital bed' Green? The Krays? The spivs in general? The SFA? The rest of Scottish football?

It also seems they want Ashley to fcuk - surely now they can get together, the Sons of Struth, The Blue Order, the myriad of groups - and organise a complete across the board boycott of buying The Sevco merchandise, and a general boycott of buying their trainers and shellsuits from Sports Direct? It will be tough for them to go cold turkey without that cheap polyester fix, but if they dig deep, they can do it.

Sports Direct guys - hit em' hard. Do it. Now.
