Ashley would need 50.1% of shares under uefa rules and the plus both rangers and nufc are not in same competitions, and if rangers go up . the chances of nufc and rangers playing in same competition is never going to happen as nufc will never qualify for champions league, but rangers have a good chance and can loan players from nufc without paying prem wages, so all ashley wants is nufc to survive at best and get rangers in champs league

{Ed007's Note - Mike Ashley, the club currently trading as Rangers and the SFA ALL agreed that MA could NOT be allowed to own more than 10% of the Glasgow team or he wouldn't have been able to invest at all and get his hands on the lucrative retail and naming rights. Until he sells Newcastle he can't own more than 10%the club currently trading as Rangers, it's nothing to do with UEFA and it's non-negotiable.
All Ashley is doing by upping his shareholding to 9% is consolidating his position, protecting his interests and keeping his vice like grip on the retail (money making) side. He makes more in one year from Newcastle's TV revenue alone than he would for 5/6 CL campaigns, plus the millions needed spent on Murray Park, Ibrox, player and staff recruitment, long-term he would NEVER make money out if he bankrolled it, no matter how many CL campaigns they qualified for.
Newcastle fans are being sucked in by the BS the Scottish press fire out day in day out about billionaires wanting to invest in the club currently operating as Rangers, Ashley is only the latest in a long line of would be suitors. Why would he spend millions of pounds on something where he already controls the only real profitable part of the club? he would NEVER make money out of it if he bankrolled
There are still legal battles on the horizon over who actually owns the club.}

Well said Ed it is clear for all to see and stop all the speculation

{Ed007's Note - I'm not just a pretty face you know :)

Ed you should intervene more often. The voice of reason, intelligence and logic.

{Ed001's Note - hahaha, I can so tell you don't know 007 well!}

Desree Tie your Kangaroo down man

Weekend nearly here get the Barbie on

No interference from NUFC

Ed strange Ashley has fingers in pies all over & like when he bought Newcastle United yet sounded John Hall out before committing to buy the club.

With Rangers It's possible there is more between the lines that meets the eye at the moment

Sayings just when you thought it was safe to gi in the water comes to mind.

{Ed007's Note - He can pull together with other shareholders to give them, as a group, control but until he sells Newcastle he can't break that 10% ceiling with his personal shareholding. Ashley's dealings in Glasgow are for his Sports Direct business, he's here as the Sporst Direct owner it really doesn't affect NUFC, Ashley has said himself he has no interest in selling Newcastle just now.}

Had a barbie last night mate.

Was she any good des ?

Ed Most people know the rules and it's good that should draw attention to them for those people who are not too sure

Ashley is now twisting and turning trying to assert power within Rangers football club

The best thing other fans are against Ashley and anything you stands for

The situation needs monitoring closely and the powers that can do that let's hope they work within their jurisdiction and hound this man out of football

Should read Ed

The best thing Rangers fans are against Ashley and anything HE stands for

I think there are worse owners the FA should focus on. Whilst the football is rubbish you can't argue that he is running the business (not the team) sensibly.

Geez Des for who Where are the accounts
Where has incime from TV etc gone

You just made a statement straight out of Ashleys office

If you believe that change teams

Deseree, Running the business sensibly It is like him sailing into the eye of the storm and we all know what will happen then.

Sensibl to be in bottom 3 and one of the favourites for relegation and 85% of fans calling for Pardews head along with the coaches is no where near sensible.

Woh lads all I was saying is in comparison to the nutcases in charge of leeds, blackburn, cardiff etc the FA had other owners they would target. Its not like ashley is doing anything illegal or even dodgy. As far as the FA are concerned he would be a good example for other owners. as an example QPR are in the same position have arguably a better manager and have spent far more money on players. Not defending ashley just arguing a rather pointless rant that the FA should intervene.

Des your opinion meets Pardews and Ashleys but it's your opinion so good on ya.

This Oaf is as bad if not worse that the people you mention.

How he has not been done by trades descrition is beyond me. Sensible yes to himself and only himself and a proven liar.

Getting rid of and severing ties with Legends KK Shearer and sacking CH Sensible don't think so. Employing Pardew don't think so.

As for Dodgy where is the 70m+
You will not see it becasue the accounts are yet to be seen
Coincidentally Aqustions in Tesco Debenhams in Rangers are not to far away from this amount.

Sensible do me a favor

Where is the post I sent earlier re 'the club trading as Rangers'?
Why have you not put it on Ed 007?

{Ed001's Note - he didn't deal with it, now stop whining.}

Art if Ashley has hidden 70m the quickest way you can get him out the club is to tip off the inland revenue and not the FA.

There are ways and there are ways. Time will tell. as for the IR it is their job not ours.

Ok so as misguided as this may be and I expect to be slated for even suggesting it however i'm stll going to. broad shoulders me. I wondered what people would say to trying something different. what if for our next game instead of protesting against Pardew with banners etc we ignore him. completely. we forget he exists just for one game. what I propose is we have one game where we forget all the issues as simple fact seems to be its not going to change. Players are coming out saying they back the manager and are requesting we back the team. let's do it. let's make our next game the loudest for a long time. 90 minutes of cheering. no matter what the result is. then if we still lose and we still don't perform no one can say it was due to us the fans. the players can't say we didn't back them. there is no where to hide. iv been to my fair share of games and to be honest its been a long time since I hear st James at full voice. let's do it just once. i'd love to see what excuse we get if we still don't perform. would be awesome to have near silence before kick off then just a mass of noise for 45 mins. then same again for second half. don't get me wrong i'm not saying start chanting the managers name. NO NO NO. just bring back the classic chants. anyway just a thought. i'm bored does it show

Nik Sorry m8 but b*******

The whole country is looking now and that is what should be happening to show how bad Ashley is and how poor Pardew is

Hi Niktoon. I think it is a great idea.

If only that the fans should have some fun as this team won't deliver it.

This team is more disjointed than the english cricket team in the last ashes series.

So the scapegoats hba and mym are now gone, Ashley has backed pardew with money and now Pardew has to blame the fans. Pathetic really. Players should ask why it is they are paid so much, it is because they are expected to perform at a high level regardless of the pressure.

I can not praise a single player this season. They need to show passion and commitment to get the fans to sing.

We all know that a committed challenge gets as almost as big a roar as a goal at SJP.

This current group of players is a disgrace to the shirt on what I've seen so far this season.

Time for players to start acting as men and taking some pride in themselves. Burnley and Leicester have shown real desire and determination. I suggest if we seen that same level of commitment we'd be willing to forgive the results.

Des Nik ONLY one way stay away
you do Desree because you are not in UK but the fans tiun up like sheep expecting a lottery win or some magic dust and the team will deliver. Well they won't and that is now being seen by everyone.
