No fucking way Ashley walks into that shitstorm like, I mean if there was money in the game there maybe but there are surely no upsides for him in buying them out.

Toonjam88 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Just had a read through some Rangers forums and nothing about Ashley buying the club. They do mention King has been ordered to make a offer of 20p a share to the remaining Rangers share holders that equates to £11 million but they are under no obligation to accept it and why would they the shares are worth 27p at the moment. King is apparently skint though so can't even afford the 20p a share. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this absolutely no way he would go anywhere near it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds plausible that Ashley can get rangers at a fraction of what he will receive here and at least triple the chance of seeing CL football. Guess who wins again?

Thought that would be moot as CL sponsorship isn't arranged at that level. He'd get no Sports Direct exposure, or at least very little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those shares are owned by fans and they won't sell to Ashley and King owns 51%. He would need to own 30% and then he would have to make a offer but the fact the fans and King hate him doubt they would sell. Mind you if Kings that skint he could pull a fast one.

Your right it's UEFA's own sponsors so far up in a ground for a CL game but he could easily have it on their strips I suppose. He would find a way. He might make all the players have tattoos of sports direct on their heads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Been posted in the Benitez thread but it's interesting to note that he's spoken to Ashley personally recently, apparently for the first time since May. He's got to know more about the takeover than he's letting on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Well he clearly stated in the various interviews today that he wants players in soon, needs time to work with them and doesn't want to be scratching around for deals at the end of the window again. Also, he mentioned '15-20th' and 'the middle of January', so I doubt it's anything of significance tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Toon Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Wonder what page number we'll be up to before this can be knocked on the head? I reckon it will be around the 240 mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Ahead of another painful loss today, I've just convinced myself that the deadline Rafa put yesterday was being clever and trying not to drive up prices of potential signings for us next month. Merry christmas everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
