Certainly has his direct and indirect agitators throughout social media but some on Rangers sites are finding it a little harder to get their often subtle message accross ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Mike Ashley launches legal challenge against Dave King Not much more I can copy and paste from the Herald/Scotland because they want a quid for me to subscribe and they ain't getting it, got this much though... MIKE Ashley has launched a legal move to have Dave King thrown in jail. It was reported last night [Mon] that the Sports Direct boss has gone to court accusing King of breaching a gagging order forced on the Ibrox boss by his sportswear firm. It comes days after King criticised Ashley's business credentials and said he will hold Sports Direct accountable on behalf of Rangers fans. http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/13931544.Mike_Ashley_launches_legal_challenge_against_Dave_King/? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Whilst looking for more on this story I found this an Evening Times article...thought it best to place it in here. Sports Direct bid to block charity cash to Rangers Former Players Benevolent Fund over alleged trademark breach SPORTS DIRECT attempted to block an Ibrox fans group raising cash for the Rangers Former Players Benevolent Fund over an alleged trademark breach. The Evening Times has obtained a copy of a letter, dated August 21, from London-based Reynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP to James Blair, the Company Secretary of Rangers International Football Club plc, which relates to the sale of a season ticket card holder by the Sons of Struth. The SoS began selling the items to Gers fans after they were returned to the club by the widow of the late Colin Jackson, who helped set up the Rangers Former Players Benevolent Fund in 2001 alongside John Greig, Sandy Jardine and Peter McCloy and passed away earlier this year following a battle with leukaemia. The holders, which have the Rangers five star logo and ‘Rangers till I die’ on the front and the badge of the RFPBF and ‘contribution towards Rangers Former Players Benevolent Fund’ on the back, were available for a minimum donation of £1 and raised a four-figure sum for the charity. On January 27 this year, Sports Direct took control of Rangers’ registered trademarks when the former Ibrox board agreed a multi-million pound loan deal with the Mike Ashley-owned firm. The letter states: “Naturally our client is concerned that such use may have an adverse effect on sales of genuine Rangers products and the validity of the relevant registered marks. Consequently, please ensure that your client takes immediate action to defend this infringement.” In May, Sports Direct called an EGM in a bid to force the Rangers board to repay the £5million loan to Mr Ashley and gained a High Court injunction that prevents any Ibrox directors from revealing the details of the merchandise deal between the sportswear firm and Rangers Retail Limited. Chairman Dave King last week insisted Rangers would not be ‘cowed’ by the threat of legal action and stated his intention to ensure ‘that Sports Direct is legally and financially held accountable for its failures’. Rangers fans are continuing to boycott Sports Direct stores and official Gers merchandise in protest at Mr Ashley’s Ibrox influence and Craig Houston of the Sons of Struth told the Evening Times: “I was shocked and stunned when the club approached me to say that they had received the legal complaint about us raising money for the Benevolent Fund. “It was perfectly clear that nobody was making profit from the season ticket holders. We were turning up at Ibrox with buckets, people were putting a donation in and they got a season ticket holder with the Benevolent Fund badge on it. It was very clear that every penny would go to the Benevolent Fund.” The Evening Times contacted Sports Direct for a reply but had received no response at the time of writing. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/13931530.Sports_Direct_bid_to_block_charity_cash_to_Rangers_Former_Players_Benevolent_Fund_over_alleged_trademark_breach/?

BalooBear 7 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 If this is true I can't understand how Ashley is so rich all he is doing is making the fans more determined than ever to stay away from SD merchandise I think he is getting frustrated now at not getting his own way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,741 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 He can't be making much money out of us surely. This is what I don't understand. He won't be making much money from Rangers. All Ashley is getting from us now is bad publicity 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
