colinstein 294 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 saw this on the AGM thread Blair: We are aware of rules if Newcastle drop to Football League over dual interest. 4 retweets 0 likes Grant Russell @STVGrant 2m2 minutes ago Q: Regarding Ashley dual interest, any confirmation from SFA he can't take more? what are the rules ? If it's not possible to meet them in Euros because they get relegated, does it mean Ashley can buy more shares in us and have an influence ? and how does that work when we are in Scottish second tier at the moment and couldn't meet them anyway ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie P 4 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I think that we saw the conflict with the (unfit) players coming to us on loan from Newcastle, and the Rangers 'board' at that time just rolling over and paying whatever wages/loan fees were demanded by the Newcastle 'board'. Replace the word 'board' with MA and this would perhaps explain why this rule is needed. Almost as ridiculous as 'Scottish' Pete and 'Celtic' Pete! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinker 887 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 what are the rules ?If it's not possible to meet them in Euros because they get relegated, does it mean Ashley can buy more shares in us and have an influence ? and how does that work when we are in Scottish second tier at the moment and couldn't meet them anyway ? I don't think this is to do with meeting in the Euros. Unlike the current situation in Scotland, the English Premiership is still a separate organisation from the and lower divisions (the Football League) and the two have differing rules on dual ownership. IIRC the FL's rules are more restrictive, and potentially better for us WRT getting rid of unwanted influences. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the FL's rules are more restrictive, and potentially better for us WRT getting rid of unwanted influences. If Newcastle got relegated Ashley wouldn't be able to own Newcastle and retain his 10 percent shareholding in Rangers. The English Football League rules do not permit multi-ownership. One such example was Watford. Giampaolo Pozza owns Udinese & bought Watford too but eventually had to register his son Gino as Watford owner so as not to fall foul of EFL rules 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,399 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 If that was the case no doubt he would register ownership to someone under his control knowing him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
