Guest icemanblue Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Haha, is that the goon pictured with Ashley and Llambias, on the training ground, towards the end of last season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I, personally, haven't got a problem with internal promotion If they are good enough i agree. I dare say that wasnt really the biggest factor in it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Promoting within may be the best option in this situation, could take a very long time to find someone willing to come to NUFC the way things are, promote someone already here means JFK does not control everything.

KDT Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thought this when I saw it on SSN last night, seems the obvious step it he was looking to purchase the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 If Ashley is serious about a large stake in Rangers, he has to sell the majority stake in us doesn't he? Likelihood is in three years they will have all but guaranteed CL revenue, and the exposure than comes with it. They could be our ticket to freedom.

Stifler Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 If they appoint llambias, thats a massive sign to me that Ashley will sell and takeover Rangers. Would make sense, his mate JFK gets one last payday, as does Pards etc all on decent contracts. Imagine if he took Pardew with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope unless we both qualify for Europe and even then the holding companies will liable be different which may be a workaround. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 If this was a signal that he's selling us (which I doubt) then surely Pardew wouldn't be far gone behind him in anyway considering his track record as a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I found this and posted in another thread yesterday, from Daily Mail when he was first buying into Rangers.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2220289/Mike-Ashley-permitted-buy-Rangers-stake--Charles-Green.html 'I think we've already stated previously that he's not allowed to take a material stake because of the dual ownership position. 'It was made clear to the football league that it would be single-digit percentages. So it's below what I said to the financial authorities that no-one would hold more than 10 per cent. Mike will be under the 10 per cent level. Also this... http://www.inbrief.co.uk/football-law/dual-ownership-of-football-clubs.htm Under the FA Premier League rules an owner of a football club or a director of a football club must adhere to the fit and proper test and must sign a declaration that they comply with this test. The fit and proper test applies to all directors and individuals holding over a 30% shareholding. Accordingly anyone who owns or has the power to own a football club in the FA Premier League is regarded to fall outside the remit of the fit and proper test and unable to own another club. Unclear whether that means in same country/competition though, or any other club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was the same country, hence Red Bull owning clubs all over and that Inter Milan fella owning an MSL team too. From Wiki (so might not be fully up to date), but these are the football teams currently owned by Red Bull: RB Leipzig – a football team currently playing in the German 3. Liga New York Red Bulls (officially Red Bull New York) – a soccer franchise competing in the United States' Major League Soccer FC Red Bull Salzburg – an Austrian football club based in Salzburg and competing in the Austrian Bundesliga Red Bull Brasil – a football team currently playing in the Brazilian Campeonato Paulista Série A2 based in Campinas, Brazil Red Bull Ghana – a Ghanaian professional football club located in Sogakope that plays in the Poly Tank Division One League. Is there any situation where any of those teams might play each other? Maybe its fine if the countries competitions wont clash, but the likes of English and Scottish teams, which could play each other in European Competition (however unlikely it might seem at present), may block that.

Fair enough, but I still wonder what the 'dual ownership' issue is that Charles Green spoke of at the time, in the Daily Mail article above? He mentions the 'football league' but not sure if that's in Scotland or England, or both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JS Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It may just be Ashley sorting his buddies out with jobs again, but something seems definitely off: We're selling Rangers gear on our club website He's bought shares in Rangers His ex MD is now (looking likely) to be theirs He has a history of buying failing brands, taking gambles and turning them around. Rangers, realistically, could be in European competition in a few years. With only 1 main rival in recent years in Celtic, could he be looking at this as a cheap and easy ticket to get SD European coverage in 'X' years? The thing with ownership is both clubs are in different domestic competitions - if Red Bull are supposed to be looking at a PL team, and Salzburg got into European competition (lol, but hey it's an *if*) then there would be obvious conflict there right? Same with Watford - Udinese. There's no smoke without fire, and I'm desperately clutching at straws now, but it does look like he'll shift us off and focus more on them. I hope. I pray. Don't fully understand the multiple ownership thing but.. here's to hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 He's just looking for another football club to plaster his SD signage all over on. I don't think this is anything to do with us, unfortunately... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
