Guest reefatoon 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... True true, they already play in the sports direct colours, so he is halfway there already. slap his s*** on it and off they go.

Belfast Boy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I tell you one thing. I wouldn't want to be the manager of the big Sports Direct closest to me which just so happens to back right on to the biggest Catholic estate! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikri Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Love it to be true. Ashley's original plan with us was, allegedly, to put £20m per season into the club for transfers, etc. If Rangers were breaking even or even making a profit and that £20m could be used for transfers, it would be more than double what the other clubs in the Scottish top-flight have spent on transfers this season combined. He could spend comparatively little, easily achieve Champion's League qualification with the promise of more TV money & loads of media exposure for his shitty brand and the fans will love him for it.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 He'll do everything he can to own us both. If anything I can see him putting more money into them than us in the long term for the reasons stated earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Maybe the difference with us and Rangers is that strictly speaking we're from the same country, i.e Britain. We might be under different associations (England and Scotland) but in terms of nationality both are British clubs and so from one nation. Do the FIFA / UEFA rules mention clubs in the same nation or clubs in the same association? Another quirk of our football history possibly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the FIFA / UEFA rules mention clubs in the same nation or clubs in the same association? Another quirk of our football history possibly. It's complicated because multiple sets of rules apply. UEFA flat out bars any two clubs owned 50% or more by the same individual from participating in their competitions, but has no restrictions on acquisition itself. (Probably because it'd be unenforceable) The PL disqualifies anyone who has a 30% or more share in a PL club from owning another PL club through the fit and proper test. FIFA places no explicit regulations on club ownership. There'd probably be a giant stink kicked up given that both clubs are fairly high profile, but no rule seems to outright forbid it. If we both end up in the Europa or something Ashley could always just withdraw NUFC so Rangers can participate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 If Red Bull take over and follow their business model of the other 4 teams they own then this will create a shit storm of epic proportions, I can honestly see Ashley selling us out of spite.
