The Rangers soap opera goes on and on.

I just took that statement at face value which didn't mention any time scale for the deal.  I have since listened back to the press conference where King says they have an agreement to the end of next season (I assume that to be 2017/18), at which point TRFC is free to negotiate further with SD or another party.  King was at pains to say that TRFC hasn't had any significant retail capability since SDM sold it to JJB in 2006, and that it was necessary for them to work with a partner.

 

King stated clearly that the seven year deal is no more and that TRFC retains the IP.   

Thanks for clarifying.

How can this be legal when King has been told to make a share offer by the Takeover Panel ?

That aside - they want to raise ?16million :rofl:

 

How many morons are left wanting to invest...

 

The fans have never raised that level of money before. I don't believe they will now. Some of those loans are turning into shares.

Yeah but it is spun by the SMSM as King playing hardball with MA,  King showed him....dont mess with KIng etc etc etc? 

 

MA did what was best for MA, and make no mistake the thousands of unsold shirts, were going to cost King ?thousands

 

hence they are wearing last season shirts once again,  Its so sad and pathetic but lets see how the SMSM put a spin on that one?

 

 

Your shirts are so last season

sooooo last season

oh your shirts are so last season

the spin will be that they are not wanting to fleece their loyal fans who did buy last seasons strip. it is king and co looking out for the little guys

If they are using last season's strip, that means they have the same sponsor?

 

I thought I recalled reading they were looking for a new sponsor at one point ...?

The Offshore Game is back on the case of the SFA's handling of the WTC liability.

 

http://www.theoffshoregame.net/corrupt-or-incompetent-sfa/

There's only one club, other than rangers, the SFA take notice of. If that club wished to stir things up, it would get interesting. As it is, the great bitter rivals lol are on the same page despite the SFA's 'special' relationship with ra' Bears. There shouldn't really be a need for sensitivity, it should be a simple application of rules with potential wrongdoing revisited but the SFA do not operate without fear or favour, despite any breathtaking claims to the contrary.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE Rangers extend shirt sponsorship deal with online casino giants 32Red until summer 2019

The popular gambling firm have been the club's official shirt sponsors since July 2014

This seems a odd move given the statement yesterday.

What was it the judge said again. Oh yes it was 

 

Southwood said the court had seen King testify for four days and ?are unanimous in finding that he is a mendacious witness whose evidence should not be accepted on any issue unless it is support by documents and other objective evidence?.

I see the BBC sent a reporter to Ibrox today to interview Rangers fans purchasing shirts.

No idea if this was on Reporting Scotland but it's utterly pathetic in any case.

My prediction is there upcoming share issue will be a shambles. Unlike the strips King et all will find there is no appetite for shares. You canni where your shares on a March or down at Blackpool.

The deal with SD talks about the profits made from the shirt sales - it doesn't say what costs are taken into account to arrive at those profits. It wouldn't be a surprise if SD continue to run the megastore at Ibrox but on behalf of TRFC and not RR, and their costs come out of the profit share. There's probably a change in the split of the remaining profits between the two but they will both come out ahead if the boycott's over.

 

The line I thought was interesting but not really covered was thanking Puma for their patience. I'll bet the legal bods at Puma would have been making noises about the lack of sales of their product as a result of a company-induced boycott of their product. Suspect that was as much a factor in this arrangement as making peace with Ashley.

From a Daily Mirror report from last year.

 

Who gets what from a replica shirt sale

Retailer ?18.13 (37%)

Sportswear firm ?12.76 (26%)

VAT ?8.24 (17%)

Manufacturing and shipping ?4.79 (10%)

Club licensing fee ?2.97 (6%)

Marketing ?1.39 (3%)

Distribution ?1.17 (2%)

Total retail price ?49.45

 

The Retailer also has to account for their costs (staffing, premises, online services etc) before any profit is made.

You can most likely take the VAT out off the equation. They have previous on that little government scam. As they see it.

No distribution costs. Newco fans tripping over each other to be first in line to buy last years top.

Marketing. GFA is their marketing firm. No costs there.

Manufacturing/Shipping. No costs, last years tops. Already written off by King.

Jeez, they're just rolling in the profits. :)

Absolutely no chance of that.

They are selling the strips at discount which will fuel sales and allow them to hype up the volumes sold.

 

Rangers fans are going daft online with major claims and ideas because they think merchandise is the root to vast riches.

Being reported here on the possibility that they'll call an egm to try & raise ?16m to pay back the soft loans to everyone.

I just can't see any company going near Rangers to facilitate this after King was "cold shouldered". There may be enough mugs out there to raise ?16m (which just clears debt to date of a company trading at a loss, no more) but without professional financial help you can't just bang out a rights issue.

 

So, will any finance company risk the wrath of the Take Over Panel, and the possibility of getting caught in the middle of them suing King - I'd doubt it very much.

King is in denial about the Take Over Panels accusation. He is linked to New Oasis Asset Limited, which is a family trust fund. He will IMO have to make an offer in accordance with the concert party rule.

So this proposed EGM will just give King and the rest of his cohort their money back. Nothing further being invested in the club unless they choose to reinvest later?

 

And this is a win for Rangers because...?

He does appear to be hoping to win that one on a technicality.

If he is linked in someway eg the trust fund monies came via his wealth [emoji853] or he can and will benefit from any assets then he's taking a big gamble by going to court.

The Old Firm have sadly dominated Scottish football for 130 years

 

We actually act and talk as if it isn't so though that is probably a good thing. You have to think you can compete.

 

But while there are periods where it's different like the 'new firm' or the Rangers liquidation it's inevitable they get to reassert themselves sooner or later.

 

Unless they go to England or something...

They do seem to be spending (?1 million please ASAP for JW) but it's a high risk strategy unless the 3 bears and perhaps others are happy to write it all off.

BREAKING NEWS Mike Ashley has sold his entire shareholding of Rangers to Club 1872 & Hong Kong based investor Julian Wolhardt. #SSNHQ

 

From Club1872

Share Purchase Announcement

Dear member,

Club 1872 is pleased to announce the purchase of a significant block of shares in Rangers International Football Club PLC (RIFC) - representing 4.46% of the total shares in the company. These shares have been purchased from MASH Holdings Limited.

Club 1872?s acquisition takes our shareholding in RIFC over 10%, a significant marker in our progress as a shareholder/investor in RIFC. We now hold 10.71%, making Club 1872 the second largest shareholder in RIFC.

We are delighted that our members? support for Club 1872 has brought us to a point where we can acquire these shares and complete the process of restoring control of RIFC to those who view the footballing success of Rangers FC as being just as important as RIFC?s careful stewardship financially.

Club 1872 allows Rangers supporters to help safeguard the future of our Club. Taking our shareholding above 10% puts us well on our way to that goal.

Our next ambition is to reach out to those Rangers supporters who are not already members of Club 1872 and encourage them to join. Together we can achieve great things for our Club.

The remaining shares held by MASH Holdings Limited have been purchased by Julian Wolhardt, the CEO of Dehong Capital Partners, a Hong Kong based private equity firm.

Club 1872

 

.... and from Rangers

Liquidation and having to start again to give people a team to support - only the non arrival of the new club could have topped that.

The downside from a Rangers point of view is that the Club1872 cash has gone to Ashley rather than the club

He already appealed and lost, there is nowhere else for him to go, except back to S.A.
