ollie2004 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 We have the charter, but did Hearts vote in favour of punishments or against?

The Gasman Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Doncaster can do little, as he has to act within the (ridiculous) SPFL rules - but the SFA as custodians and governing body of the game in this country can, and should, take action.... ...I'll not be holding my breath though.

the crofter Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 As the SFA are apparently unable to do anything can we not refuse to sell any tickets to the OF for games at Tynecastle.I know that at the moment they have to be given a certain amount but as grounds are licensed surely we have a say as to who can enter. If a publican does not like your face he can refuse to allow you into his licensed premise. IMO, if you read between the lines of Ann Budges statement after the Celtic game, the groundwork has been laid for cutting their allocation significantly for next years games. I for one would be delighted, I'm looking forward to being able to return to watch my team play football against any opposition without the distraction of vile and illegal behaviour by their support.

269miles Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Rangers do have control over it and the SFA have an even bigger control. It's not difficult really - your fans are singing sectarian and racist songs stop it and if you don't stop it we'll fine you every time it happens and if it continues we will dock you points and if that continues we'll do both and ban your fans from matches. Is it really that difficult? That's how simple and effective it is or could be. Mess about with UEFA and they'll shut down part of your ground then all your ground and then a competition ban. UEFA act decisively and clubs know it. Compare and contrast with Scotland. It seems to me the only way that fans can get any movement on this is to lobby their own clubs to take a ruthless approach to the behaviour of OF fans. Nothing else will work.

naeclue Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 This suggests that the EGM vote is going King's way (unless it is a clever tactic to make them drop their guard a little...). Assuming that is the case, it's going to be a help to Rangers in the run in - a larger home support, less distraction off the field. Still a mince first team right enough. I thought Rangers looked improved against HIbs. It may be that they build momentum for the rest of the season. Not enough to trouble us, but it should make the play-offs more tasty.

Meadows Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 when the result of the EGM is known, If Ashley & co win, Surely the season ticket sales will drop even further. That's assuming they do a Hibs and price them for the top flight. If priced for Championship....they will experience a drop in sales due to ashley, apathy and letting their club die. IF King wins, there will be an upsurge,whatever pricing structure is used. This money will see them to the end of the season methinks. The re-paying of Ashley 'may' come from a share launch, The actual investment in the team? Ouch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King has always made it clear he will not put any of his own money into the pot, however he has the orcs on his side i suspect he will arrange another share issue to raise the money required to pay off MA And keep the boat afloat for a few more months. Plus orcs will pile back into ibroke for games again increasing match day revenue, if he can get through to May a lot of the onerous contracts come to an end saving more cash when they get emptied.

Hagar the Horrible Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I said yesterday its all gone quiet? One of the wigs has gone, and no doubt the orcs will come flooding back, King will win this round, but what next, he needs 75% for a share floatation that's where sandy can get his own back? mike has still all the onerous contracts, it going to cost a bob or two to get all of that back? will king return the Geordie 5, which only 2 have played and have so far been the only ones who look like footballers? How will the salary for March be funded? It will be interesting to see if King gets his hands on the keys, of how much will he go public with? this story has lots of mileage in it yet? here is hoping hibs pip them to second spot and see what another year in the second tier does for them?

King will then have the choice of coming up with the ?5M required to repay Ashley or accept the two on the Board. King still has the Nomad/AIM and the SFA FPP hurdles to overcome. I thought that King's greater barrier to becoming a Director was that he was the Director of a failed company with a very similar name. The Sevcovians might flood back for a while on a wave of media stoked euphoria, but the company would be in much worse trouble than under the patronage of Mr Ashley. It has to be asked who is really stupid enough, even amongst sevcovians, to pour money into a King-led structure in a share issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo-Jimbo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 New share issue IMO King doesn't have the money himself. There can't be many Institutional Investors willing to plough money into Rangers especially after being stung the last time and even more so once Honest Dave takes charge. The fans will have to fund this themselves, so all those supporters groups who have just bought shares to oust the board are going to have to invest again just to stop their own shares being diluted. Crowds will increase but will soon dwindle again once the product on the pitch doesn't improve and that ain't going to happen without major investment. Remember the fans are expecting instant success as soon as the saviour King rides in on his white charger and waves his magic wand and when that doesn't happen well........................

DETTY29 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The key thing with James going is what Sandy does next. Sandy with his proxies and Ashley can block future share issues.
