haway man

red bull own a few, man city/ new york whatever there called etc etc , just not in the same league
I know man, just wasn't sure about if he could own a team in Scotland and England concurrently :lol:
 
Ashley wants Essex businessman Stephen Mucklow as well as former Newcastle United chief executive Derek Llambias on the Rangers board after striking a deal to loan the club £2m. (Sunday Mail)
 
Ashley has played a blinder, he's effectively taken over a potentially large brand for "pennies" (figuratively) and has them by the balls despite having a minority stake.
The badge and branding is leased back to Rangers by former owner Charles Green
The naming rights on the stadium Mike got for a quid
Between them these two can easily milk that cash cow for years, they just need to sort the burn rate on the cash. They are still ploughing through money at nigh on a million a month, hence why they needed Mike's money now and were desperate, even the wage bill for October was in doubt.
In terms of results and performances, sacking Ally would be the smartest thing they could do, the reformed club needed him on board to provide that link to the old one, but now that's no longer an issue he's handicapping them big style.
 
Can only see one thing happening.

Ashley will sell NUFC at a loss and take over rangers fully. He will make more money in rangers and can't fail with them. Where Newcastle is impossible

Very much doubt that! he's very protective over his pennie's! He'll want every single one back that he's put into NUFC!

He will defo. have to sell though if he takes full control of rangers, or he'll be breaking UEFA rules I'm sure...!
 
be class if it was a fake sheikh... The mad hysteria of them getting "one of them awarb men" as one fan elegantly put it, with the buying of shirts with his name and the parading round newcastle... through to the realization of him not having any money and anger/ crying... through to the successive relegation's.

NER the fake sheikh would probs win the euro millions and every lottery in the f***ing world and become filthy rich investing millions every season! f***ing mags always come up smelling of rerses
 
Mike Ashley, who has recently increased his influence hugely at Rangers, is poised to take control of the rights to the club's two famous badge designs. (Herald)
 
Apparently Rangers have a lot of people on high wages and watertight contracts that are costing them all this money per month, which is why they keep struggling to pay their wage bill unless they get a loan / share ownership. Now that Ashley is owed 2 million he is their major creditor so he can call in the administrators and get the club liquidated (again) as insolvent. Then if he wants to he can start again from fresh or if someone else wants to start again he has ownership of enough assets to be able to dictate whatever he wants for them.

He's only allowed to own 10% of an SPL club if he owns another club it is an SPL specific rule that was brought in after mad Romanov. Those patsies he's getting put on the board are only there to push the button when he says to put it in admin. I wouldn't be surprised if he's trying to get ownership of the ground on the cheap before he does it. Then if someone tries to bring them back he'll own the name, the badges, the naming rights to the stadium and whatever was used for securing the loan was it the car park and training ground? He loves a gamble he's probably already worked out at worst he can break even from flogging stadium naming rights, the badges back and the land that he'd get if they go under.
