If it were true that we could pay £1m and be done with Ashley forever, it would be the best million ever spent

Well, BB, you’re one of the posters I look for in these threads.Correct. Twice Ashley went to court in order to try and convince a judge Elite should be made to cease and failed. As Rangers QC pointed out in the first case, anyone can go to Hummel and order kit and sell it. Elite and Hummel are pretty much the same entity, they appear comfortable enough to proceed with setting up the Belfast Store opening soon. And it appears a matter now to discuss compensation for the breach, the contract cap says £1M and to deal with the matter of Costs. I really do not see a scenario now where Ashley can regain exclusive rights or stop others, he tried before two judges and failed because of the way Elite and Hummel operate.
How about “why” a season ticket price increase would be a negative?That’s a pretty negative way of looking at it .
How about no price increase and £1million to lance Ashley forever ?

Nobody at that level doesn’t pay for the expertise and the advice of others.He’s paid people to do his thinking mate. Anytime he’s opened his mouth he’s shown himself for the fat uneducated slob that he is.

They wouldn’t get to that level without it.
How many times have you heard Alan Sugar refer to his trusted advisors?
Yes, sadly I fear the worst and fear we will be stuck with this fat parasite for a long time yet. Hopefully nature intervenes.If it were true that we could pay £1m and be done with Ashley forever, it would be the best million ever spent
Even if Ashley popped his clogs, the venom would continue from the company.Yes, sadly I fear the worst and fear we will be stuck with this fat parasite for a long time yet. Hopefully nature intervenes.

I'm not so sure.His company is full of arseholes,as we well know.Don't think so. It's him and him alone at it here. Using the SD vehicle as his chosen weapon.
He's a fat bastard who has the hump as we wont back down.
Hopefully he dies soon
Sad days when there aren't any obsessed bheasts live tweeting the coverage.
We should see this as a good sign, mate. If Rangers were being done over in Court, they'd be there reporting it.
Absolutely agree with your last line there.I get what you’re saying mate but Alan sugar with or without his advisors is a ruthless bastard but with class. You can tell with or without advisors that he’s a shrewd business man.
You watch ANY interview or camera appearance by Ashley it’s blatantly clear that he’s a complete moron. His appearance in front of parliament being a real highlight stuttering and mumbling his way through it. One particular question when asked about sexual harassment claims against female workers:
“sports direct must pull its socks up simple as that fellas... eh woman as well as fellas” followed by a toe curling pretend giggle
That’s something I’d expect from Homer Simpson not a multi billionaire tycoon.
Ashley’s a fucking moron that’s a fact.
This is personal with the fat wank. I've said it before, he'll take a loss to fuk with us.Even if Ashley popped his clogs, the venom would continue from the company.
Bit of a contradiction. If fat Mike was a complete moron, he would not be a billionaire. If fat Mike was a complete moron, we would not be in the merchandise mess we are.I get what you’re saying mate but Alan sugar with or without his advisors is a ruthless bastard but with class.

The fat slug might be a reprehensible, odious bastard but he is not a moron. Let's hope King can win this war once and for all.

This should be the end game.If the judge rules for us do we have to endure endless appeals until a common sense decision is reached?
It would. However, you’d have to think that if it was as simple as that we wouldn’t be trailing in and out of Court every few months.
If that’s what the Judge goes for - and follows up by saying the relationship is ‘broken’ and should be terminated - then we can all celebrate. I fear it will not be that easy.
A guy called Stephen o'donnell has just written a book about the liquidation of Rangers fc. The sevco loon market is still going strong mate.Perhaps the bottom has dropped out of the Sevco Loon market. The days of making a living by Sevco-ing to the green and grey 24/7 are a distant memory.
You're a right cheery bastard every day VB!!!!
I'm sure John James or ill Phil will provide updatesSad days when there aren't any obsessed bheasts live tweeting the coverage.
The fact we are selling merch through another outlet is a pretty big crumb of comfort. Ashley, and his lawyers, haven't been able to bully us, or control us as they thought they could. They are not as clever as they think they are.Aw c'mon, I'm not normally all that bad. Just think we are on a shafting with this one I'm afraid. I've been itching for some 'positivity' on this case since it started all those months ago but I'm not finding even a crumb of comfort.
I've been wrong before - many times - so lets hope I'm wrong again this time. I usually turn to the smart folks like yourself for some encouragement - but it's thin on the ground and generally falls into the 'wishful thinking' category on this subject.
Give him a break mate,he lives in Wales.You're a right cheery bastard every day VB!!!!
Give him a break mate,he lives in Wales.
So do you think the end is in sight bud or is this likely to rumble on for years?The fact we are selling merch through another outlet is a pretty big crumb of comfort.

I believe the expectation is that court hearings will go on for some time to come. All SD can hope to do now is maximise damages awarded to them. Apparently several contracts were agreed with the world's worst retail partner choice, Sports Direct.
any updates from it?
Try @sitonfence - he is covering it PPV for the demented hordes.
I'm blocked by that Thai rent boy lover.
wouldnt trust him anyway

Lol.
Bosses at Rangers Football Club are embroiled in the latest round of a long-running High Court battle with Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley centred on merchandise sales.
Lawyers representing a company in the Sports Direct Group say Rangers’ bosses are in breach of obligations under a deal relating to replica kit.
They say SDI Retail Services are having to bring “serial court proceedings”.
Rangers bosses dispute claims made against them.
A judge began to oversee the latest in a series of hearings at the High Court in London on Monday.
Judge Lionel Persey is due to finish analysing evidence later this week.
Mr Ashley, who also owns Newcastle United, was not at the hearing.
Rangers lost a round of the fight in October.
Another judge ruled that Rangers had breached the terms of an agreement made with SDI.
Mr Justice Teare concluded that bosses at Rangers had made a new agreement with another firm without giving SDI a chance to match that firm’s offer.
SDI bosses have subsequently made further complaints about Rangers not complying with commercial obligations.
Barrister Sa’ad Hossain QC, who is leading SDI’s legal team, outlined the history of the dispute to Judge Persey and listed five sets of proceedings.
He said another company was continuing to sell replica kit, contrary to a deal.
“SDI is having to compel Rangers to comply with its obligations through serial court proceedings,” he said.
“Rangers seems unwilling to do so voluntarily.”
Ben Quiney QC, who leads Rangers’ legal team, said “key battlegrounds” revolved around disagreement over the definition of certain commercial “activities”.
He said a main dispute centred on the meaning of “distributing”.
Mr Quiney told the judge: “SDI have put their case too wide and it doesn’t make sense.”
That doesn’t sound good . Fck sake .
Said Rangers QCIs it today this fucking thing?
When your defence is at the point where it centres on definitions of specific words in the contract it smacks of clutching at straws. However, as we well know from years of litigation that's often enough. The Law's an ass right enough.
My hatred of the odious prick is up there with the rest of our support. We could all go on as you say.The watertight underhand contracts are a result of him paying people to do his thinking.
He’s had a simple idea and it’s taken off. Luck got him started, paying people to think for him got him proper set up.
He can’t open his mouth without embarrassing himself. A trial for damages by a former employee revealed he would go to the pub and drink until he spewed into a fireplace. Also told that during a serious board meeting for one of the biggest companies in the UK that he became bored so literally crawled under the desk for a nap. Government ministers visiting his warehouse and he had his staff attach listening devices to a tray used to serve them drinks which they found.
I could go on mate and everybody on here has an opinion but I won’t budge on my view that the man is a fucking moron. The above hardly paints a picture of a ruthless, cunning and tactful captain of industry does it? He’s a less charming Homer Simpson. A complete and utter oaf.
Did the judge at the court case back in Autumn (I think) basically not just tell Sports Direct to get their finger out and match the Elite deal? Obviously this still hasn't been done.
Any reason why they wouldn't have matched the deal after the judge had told them to other than SDI being cunts?
It might rumble on for a couple of years yet mate. We are taking action against SD to get money they owe us, and we will also look to overturn court orders against us for costs at full hearings where all the facts can be taken into account.So do you think the end is in sight bud or is this likely to rumble on for years?
