Klaxon, then mouthpiece for Sir Duped/Toxic Jack (TJ), switched sides and went in to bat for 'the good guys' over the spiv years. Other outlets, eg. 'The Scottish Sun' and BBC Scotland (mainly Chris McLaughlin) were used by TJ on behalf of Green&Co, Easdales, etc.
Ashley actually possessed 'wealth off the radar' and was initially welcomed by some of the support. Another important error. All you had to do was research his M.O. in business, especially at Newcastle United.
Lesson is not to blindly follow follow mainstream narratives without digging deeper. But unfortunately, we are world record holders for Gullibility. Our supporter groups take Be Divided and Be Conquered, to new levels.
Any prospective spiv group currently looking at Rangers as a potential project will see a support that will be easily bent over.
Just as well that our current custodians are very aware of such dangers. They may be having difficulty in running the club but you can't doubt their motives.
