BottledDog Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 If his long term strategy is to have us be a feeder club for Rangers... ...well, that could almost be very close to being the final straw for me in terms of my compassion for the chubby funster.

buzza Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of True Faith, but every now and again they come out with something that hits the nail on the head. Here's one of them (my opinion only): http://www.true-faith.co.uk/thru-black-white-eyes-zombies-6apr14/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Not really convinced he follows the teams fortunes on the pitch particularly closely. Like if you asked him what our last 5 results were off the top of his head, how accurate do you think he'd be able to be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 With regards to Rangers - could he need syphon off some of our profits (as in, paying back some of the loan) - pass is through MASH and then on into Rangers? Not sure if that is legal or not and indeed a goer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 With regards to Rangers - could he need syphon off some of our profits (as in, paying back some of the loan) - pass is through MASH and then on into Rangers? Not sure if that is legal or not and indeed a goer. Entirely legal. They're his businesses and can take a divi from one to invest in another no problem. UEFA would have an issue if both sides were in European competition, although the cynic in me would say that NUFC in the PL is a good enough advertsing vehicle, while it's cheaper to get Rangers into the CL than NUFC so that situation may never arise.

James Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 So he is now a Director and on the Board. How will this be different to before. Odd that that would happen unless he plans to adjust his role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'd be happier if we were getting an owner first because they'd put the money up, that scenario seems more like a pulling the plug on us and jumping to a cheaper option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I know we want him out, but seriously where the hell would that leave us? Strange question, clearly the answer is that it would be entirely dependent on who the new owner was and their intentions. I personally just want a change, I can feel my enthusiasm for it draining by the month. One consideration though is that Ashley will doubtless try to fuck us on his way out.

Surely he gets more exposure for Sports Direct from the Premiership than he would from Rnagers in the Champions League. I'm not buying the selling us to buy Rangers theory myself. We're his golden ticket, buying Rangers to add to us is his want, us out of Europe gives him the Premiership, Rangers in the Champions League gives him that. The fact we'll never meet in Europe means there's no conflict of interest and against UEFA rules. I'm actually beginning to believe stuff like this now as the evidence is there to see.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Genuinely think we'd be more likely to end up with a Sheikh Mansour/Abramovich than a Venky's/Vincent Tan if he put us up for sale like, providing he didn't go out his way to find the biggest cunts going on purpose. Foundations are there for a quick success with us, whereas they weren't as much with Cardiff, Blackburn or Hull. However I can't help but think that if and when he sells, he definitely will seek out the biggest prats that will pay the asking price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 @GrahamtRuddick: Mike Ashley plot thickens - he is selling £225m of shares in Sports Direct, Goldman Sachs handling placing Wish he would hire Goldman Sachs to find a fucking buyer for the club.
