TOON ARMY
Rangers fan here lot of news up here that MA is trying to get rid of newcastle so he can buy Glasgow Rangers he has naming rights on the stadium and also the retail rights to sell all strips through his sports direct shops. We are on the verge of going into admin AGAIN so if that happend ashley would lose the naiming rights to ibrox and he would also lose the retail contract. So its in his best intrest to keep us afloat. Scottish Football association rules state that MA can't own more than 10% of Rangers while he owns another european club he currently owns 9% of the gers hense why he is trying to push through the Newcastle sale so he can buy Rangers.
Can any of you shed any light on this?
And if this is the case what's mike ashley like?
1.) A. Biggest low life Mercenary ever
B. Has no interest in football it's history or any club other than Tottenham
c. He will not sell Newcastle at the price he wants and if he does it will not happen for a long time.
C. That in it's self leaves Rangers up S. T creek BUT knowing Ashley he will not want to loose any money he has invested so who knows.
2.) Ashley is a first class gentleman and everybody in Scotland should sign a petition to get him to sell Newcastle and buy Rangers. of course we will be very sad to see him go, but because we like our scottish cousins so much we would bare the pain of him leaving the Toon
{Ed007's Note - You don't get many gentlemen at Ibrox so that'll be a first.}
Your missing the point ED. You seem to think Rangers are small fry when if ran correctly there is a shed load of money to be made. And the amount he would have to spend on players up here would be nothing compared to what he has spent down there! And what have I said that shows I no nothing about football? Could you explain that to me?
{Ed001's Note - sorry did I say they were small fry? Or have you just got a chip on your shoulder about the fact that a club the size of Newcastle, playing in the most watched league in the world, makes massive amounts of money compared to a big club playing in what has become a minor league?
Spending on players is irrelevant, if you actually understood football, as you would see that Newcastle can turn a profit on player sales.}
52, 405 newcastle
51, 082 ibrox
Yeah ed lots more sets ey!!
{Ed001's Note - I am sorry is my being correct not to your liking? You are just proving how little you know about footie, the profit margin at Newcastle vastly outweighs anything he could get from Rangers, while they play in a no-entity of a league. Unless they leave the Scottish league, they will always be a poor relation to the Prem teams in England.}
IM A RANGERS FAN and Rangers could be a cashcow for ashley. With 50k season tickets sold that would make back any money he would invest and ED you say the only way ashley could lose his retail and the naming rights is if Rangers go into liquadation this is incorrect mate as if we go into ADMINISTRATION then both contracts would be ripped up losing ashley a lot of money in the process as the naiming rights alone are worth 4 million a season and Rangers merchandise is worth a hell of a lot more than that. So its in ahsleys best intrest to keep Rangers afloat. u say he is earning 30 million a season from Newcastle??/ and rangers could get no were near this?? again I don't agree as when in the spl the normal price for a season book at ibrox is about 550 quid so times that by 40 that gives you 22 million JUST ON SEASON BOOKS ALONE then he would have merchandise on top of that. AND FINALLY you say he would have to spend tens of millions to catch celtic lolol have you seen the state of celtic recently??
{Ed001's Note - Newcastle have a bigger stadium.....}
