So top level football becomes even more removed from reality. Have been considering binning Sky for a while and this may clinch it.

 

It's becoming like the polar opposite to what the German game has from what I can tell...

 

I too am likely to remove Sky TV.

To be fair it'll probably work out brilliantly for them. Cheap foreign players they can sell on at a premium. His model at Newcastle would have rangers walking to the title every year. It doesn't work here because he wont sack Pardew and the Premier league is too strong without massive investment. If they can ignore the club being used as a cheap advertising platform for a shitty brand they'll be over the moon.  Pardew would probably even win the spl with them if they had Carr bringing in players for them as the standard is so low.

 

You can get all those good cheap foreign players because the EPL is one of the best shopping windows in the world, and a great place to go to push on you career. Scotland? Not quite so.

No but you don't need as high a quality as it's the SPL. It's about as competetive as league 1.  Most Championship sides would walk it.

 

Loadsaloans to be made to Rangers next transfer window then...

 

 

Fuck me. Not often I make an accurate prediction.  :coolsmiley:

So are you in the favour of how the club has been fucked over by Mike Ashley then? No matter what you think of German football, its indisputable that the laws that they have in place protect football clubs from scum like Ashley and co.

Minutes from the Rangers board meeting last week. Only just scanned it.

 

12. As Ashley is looking more and more likely to be in control of Rangers what is his short term plan and long term plan for Rangers? Can Mike Ashley or his representatives tell us his vision for the club?

DL: We can’t speak for Mike Ashley. SD has a football priority going forward and affiliation with 5 different clubs: Oldham, Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth, Newcastle and Rangers (was this correct?). Their model is taking over as many retail operations in football clubs and putting them ‘into the SD machine’ for ongoing retail revenues. I believe they can help Rangers sell more shirts overseas than we could ever have done on our own.

 

Nothing we didn't know.

Would love to know how much of this revenue from increased shirts sales (supposedly thanks to SD) goes back to the respective clubs, being as the NUFC and Rangers club shop websites are both the same template now, but the NUFC one states at the foot of the page 'Copyright 2015 by Sports Direct' but the rangers says '© 2015 Rangers Retail Ltd' (haven't looked at the others).

 

They can dress it up as SD helping increase shirt sales, but if the clubs dont get the money, or only a small percentage of it, then its only benefiting one man.

 

EDIT: Just checked... Oldham and Portsmouth both have same website template as us and rangers, and the customers services is SD's head office  address. Sheff Weds club shop appears to be its own still.
