buster.

Money is more important than actual product. Like a lot of things in the UK,............ they can't see the woods for the trees & copious bullshit.

They were clutching at straws and considered 1,000 pounds worth a punt because of the importance of the game at Ibrox, simples.

Can you imagine the outcry if that had been Jason Holt getting the red card downgraded. We really need to stamp our authority on this match and burst their bubble.

Poor old Alexander, those broad shoulders he talked of back in December of 2013 must have slumped. You'd almost think that lawyers were close to his designated advisory team.

Trying to arrest the build-up of media scrutiny and pressure with a paragraph of empty words. "Always sees to improve".......the bottom line "listens to criticism".................but ignores it "acts where appropriate"........appropriate is if it improves bottom line "Mike Ashely shall personally oversee a review"......the man who put the present situation in place "a review of all agency worker terms and conditions".....T&C should meet legislation, period / review delays proper payment / will it be backdated "good environment for the entire workforce"..........subjective language that will have a different meaning for SDI than for normal person "We expect him to start that work in the New Year" ......Delay shows lack of urgency (despite intense media attention) Please leave us alone, forget about us and something else will come along to make headlines. But get a group working on a media presentation for the New Year+ to show 'positive change' (which won't be representative of reality). #HabitualOffenders

All the best to Mr.Hubbard. ps. After seeing some photography, I was under the impression that BHemdani was Johnny Hubbard's Dad, perhaps not ! ...

Can't disagree regards the dropping of occasional PR bombs that only feed an opposition spin dept and friends which in turn helps set the media agenda (including social) and general noise. The basic rule of underpromise and overdeliver is a good one. The Ashely spiners who have been more than busy of late must have been cursing as they listened to Justice Peter Smith that first morning but any required fire-fighting regards the Ashely name/tactics/Rangers was put into the long grass once the 5M repayment was mentioned. However, I come back to my point about focusing on the enemy and the transcript of that first morning surely gives a blogger much material.

Will the Man utd and Man city jobs be up for grabs by the end of the season aswell. Managerial Musical Chairs for May/June (expensive seats)

For me, the lack of a subsequent correction put's it in the 'f**k-up' category that led to a media slant (social and traditional) on events that largely ignored not only the humiliation of Ashely but an independent pointing of the finger towards part of his dark strategy. Criticism is due but balance and our investigative spotlight shining at the enemy would be more appropriate.

It's been like a car crash in ultra slow motion. Between pay-offs from Madrid and Chelsea he could probably buy 9 clubs in the Scottish Premiership.

Better,...probably ! But the decision has been made, nothing more to do about it. We need to get over the 'blip', start firing again and get the confidence back rather than worry about opposition (other than MW and the video analyst coming up with a gameplan).

This is like many other matters, to be properly understood it needs to be examined considering Mr.MASH strategy aswell as any questions to the board.

Yes' date=' but ever thought of writing an investigative blog that focused on Mr.MASH and the [b']dark strategies that threaten Rangers?[/b]

Transparency in some areas is difficult with gagging orders and live court cases.

I'd agree that DK sometimes says more than required and sets himself and others up for future problems and unnecessary pressure. However I'd say that what Mr.MASH/SDI are currently doing deserves the harsher spotlight and is what is really holding us back. Wrt the recent court case. Justice Peter Smith shone that spotlight in a very knowledgable way towards Mr.MASH but we end up talking about something which had little to do with the case and was basically down to a regretable f**k-up. This is...............Rangers...v ...MrMASH/SDI Question tactics, Be peeved at mistakes but .............Choose your side.

Giantchelsea on FF summed it up well "It's a work in progress being done with one hand tied behind our back, it's important that everyone realises that." Some don't want to see it or even consider it.

I'm simply talking about current and future cashflow at Rangers and who may have an interest in hampering it through a dedicated strategy.

Strange decision but the day we are worried about John McGinn will be a sad one.

I think that someone earlier in the thread suggested MASH may possibly be contributing to pay Greens legal fees for this ongoing claim. I don't know if this is true or not but it would fit with any MO that wanted to hamper cashflow at Rangers. Both in the short-term and possibly medium-term if what you mention were to come to pass.

I'd agree that it's very much a question that has to be asked.

The MO of the present government has been to take the the relationship between the board and employees down the same road to where Ashely presently is. Only Ashely, who enjoys sailing close to the wind, would seem to be a bit ahead of the rolling ball.

Don't know but I would hope not. This being the time of year for predictions, I'd say it not unlikely that the mouth from Yorkshire becomes 'ill' during 2016 and seeks a doctor's note to give to court. The various appeals might seem to go on forever but time stops for no man and currently at 67 years old, Charles may yet have the word 'appeal' etched on his tombstone. I'm just hoping I live to see the end of all this. It's got to the stage that I'd die with a smile on my face, if certain outcomes came to pass. ... -------------------------------------- ps: Mr.Boabie That article is from September, before the first hearing.

Wrong Fergie at the wrong time.

Stubborness + Consistency of MO + Wealth/Power............. V............. Complacency + Mistakes (including corporate governance) + Individuals with knowledge and grudge + Does the Law function as it should? ps. OP was a good read, thanks !
