RANGERRAB

Cathro is hardly going to go from being number 2 at a top CL team to a youth coach with us.

I'm not at all convinced Cathro is in the running for the job even as an assistant.

Sure i wasnt just a few bitter timz ? More than plenty to choose from in this vile nation of ours.

What is now very apparent is that without the BTC the oldco was never insolvent.

How will Ashley prove it if he cant demand his loan repayment ?

By not repaying it he will argue they've not got the funds they're made out to have. Reluctantly I'd tend to agree as per the stuff about getting 45k ST holders for next season. No chance

I was talking collectively as you would know if you read what I had to say.

 

Though given you left out Kennedy I think we can all see you knew that already.

 

This is fun.

I've not heard Kennedy's name mentioned recently that's why.

I genuinely do not believe the names you mentioned(including King) are as wealthy as you would like us to believe and Ashley is going all out to prove this with Rangers being the losers

Kennedy Murray park Letham etc. King has named them. Others to I expect.

 

Why do people insist on being walked through what's already been said.

Paul Murray ? Don't think so.

Letham doubtful too. And Park is wealthy but certainly nowhere near billionaire class you mentioned

Some of the rest of kingco are far far richer than king

who are they then? name names

There is enough out there to know that it is weighted heavily in their favour and to that suggest those who signed up to the deal on behalf of the club were negligent or complicit.

 

However the majority are still unaware of details and SD want to keep it this way.............Are you happy with that Rabb ?

if u read what I said no I'm not happy but as I said we need to be told the exact details. No more speculation.

I also want to know what Ashley wants from Rangers. We must be small beer to him. Why is he involved? All he is getting is bad publicity. Is that what he wants ? Wouldn't think so

Billions between them I think. Certainly hundreds of millions

Don't suppose they could spare a few million between them for some decent players for next season then ?? If they're as wealthy as you say

That's correct. They want all the details kept confidential.

that cannot be allowed to happen.

We need to know exact details of the SD commercial contracts to end all this speculation because that's what it is.

King Co. .....

How rich then?

They are very rich men.

who are very rich men?

Still cant put us into administration. Being main creditor doesn't give you the right to put a company into administration. He would, like HMRC, need to seek a winding up order. And, for 5 million, that winding up order would be swept aside fairly swiftly. Unless of course, like you, you believe that King and T3B don't have any money to pay off the 5 million loan.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. I genuinely believe Ashley doesnt think King & T3B have the funds. Whether he is correct or not remains to be seen.

Which promises did Whyte or Chuck deliver before you renewed under them ?

I only got a ST last season after a ten year absence

How does he put us in administration again ?

Because he is the main creditor

How can he do that if the agreement doesn't highlight an option to call the loan in?

 

Like Calgacus says that option isn't available to him so it's arguably in the club's best interests to retain the interest free loan in lieu of better retail contract terms.

If the terms of the loan have been broken regarding the 2 directors would that be enough to give him the right to demand repayment? Without seeing the terms of the loan agreement we are speculating.

What if he threatens administration?

I wouldn't. There's no interest and no timescale for repayment. It's 'free' cash, we may as well use it. Moreover, I believe King is using it as leverage to renegotiate the retail deals. Shrewd move IMO.

You really think that's a good idea? Do you think really Ashley will negotiate with King ? I fear Ashley will go for the nucleur option. He has nothing to lose and doesn't believe King has 5m (as do I)

I'm more convinced by him than the rats that have been chased out of our club,you obviously prefer the previous theives to King as you handed them your cash for a ST last season but are implying you won't buy one this season.

Oh I'll buy an ST. Don't worry about that. Once Mr King delivers his promises that is....

You really are relentless in your dislike for King................

I have no dislike of him I assure you. Perhaps I am less convinced by him than you & others are

What's 5million to him

5million probably means nothing to him as would putting us into administration as a result.

If King has the money some say he has he should pay Ashley his money back

We cant afford the transfer fees or wages, it really is that simple. Get used to it, at least in the short term.

If we were to get around £400k for Nicky Law from,say, Huddersfield then I think we'd use some or all of that to get Scott Allan from hibz before the end of August..Allan has only a year left on his contract at hibz and doesn't look like extending it so they'd need to sell before he can sign a pre-contract in January

Recruiting a manager is probably THE most difficult task which a football club's board of directors has to do.

And in reality no one can be sure whether a manager will be successful as hoped for or not.

But they can only judge candidates by their recent history and make their decision accordingly. That is why I think from those mentioned I believe Mark Warburton would be the best choice for Rangers

My guess in all of this( for what it's worth) is that the board wanted Vitor Pereira but that's not happening now as we didn't get promotion.
