There is literally no way out. It seems that every option ends in them matching automatically....I was told we can't even take it in-house as they can still sue us then. It's unbelievable.I honestlly cannot see it ending for years.
I agree mate. It's not the done thing in here to be critical of King and the board, but I feel they have been poor in many areas. So much room for improvement. So much.If you add the shot show re the memorial, it tells you that we continually screw up. I have no faith in this boards ability to make good decisions. The list is endless.
Well I started my boycott the moment the news broke a few weeks ago. Not a penny more.At the very least surely we can agree that a boycott IS on until they do pay up? That's not controversial surely?
Have you never heard of unpayable directors loans???If it folds and fat Mike buys it for a pound how could the directors trouser a fortune?

Forget the rumours (which you are big enough to decide for yourself)
This is absolute FACT
Rangers have chased Elite for months for money
They hid behind the Injunction
Now Rangers got that lifted it’s been blanket silence & refusals
Now we are taking court action against them to recover it
Any money YOU spend in shops or giving to Elite they are not giving to our club
(whatever motive you think they have)
That’s the facts
Think about where you are spending your money very carefully
A director posted that in the midst of legal action? Really?‘All will become clear very soon’ was the quote on Twitter from Mark underwood one of the directors from elite in reply to one of our fans. He’s at @UnderferwoodMark if anyone wants search for it.
No. Please read earlier posts.Is there anything in this that could actually be a ploy by the club and elite to ensure the club get the money and it’s not stopped by an injunction by Ashley?
elite seem to be close to Hummel and by all accounts we have a decent relationship with them. By Rangers looking as they have had to put sure the money through the court would that ensure that it couldn’t be stopped by Ashley?
I know I’m plucking at straws perhaps and trying to find a positive.
what could the club do next? Can we just start selling our own stock and face up to what happens in court?
Not taking sides here, as I can see a potential scenario, however unlikely, where Rangers could secretly be in cahoots with Elite, but publically need to be 'in dispute' legally. Such is the quagmire that SDI have created around us.My interest is that I work in the shop mate. I’ve stated this on previous threads.
I can’t answer that mate, I’m not part of an Elite/SD conspiracy, and I’m not privy to any in depth business info of SD, Elite or Rangers. As explained, I’ve been told Elite aren’t involved with Ashley, that they have the money, and intend to pay. That’s it. That’s all I know, and all I claim to know.
I know what you mean. Fat Mike pulling the strings might show a judge or underline to a judge just how toxic our relationship with Fat Mike is.Is there anything in this that could actually be a ploy by the club and elite to ensure the club get the money and it’s not stopped by an injunction by Ashley?

No. Please read earlier posts.
Hummel made quite a big play for our business.
What's their view of a major distributor causing grief with a marquee customer?
that’s the thing I was getting at. Hummel seem pretty close to Elite as if their businesses are intrinsically linked, Hummel as you said made a huge play to get the clubs business and abbiosly get the naming rights etc. Are they then also involved with some dirty tricks with the club? Has SD got to them too?
So who told you that theyre willing to pay? Was it a high up manager, or was it the check out girl with the big tits?My interest is that I work in the shop mate. I’ve stated this on previous threads.

Dont take this the wrong way but im sure im not alone in thinking you might be at it. Or worse, from the dark side or even a plant.
UNDER FULL SCALE ATTACK....is the best description I have heard to put the whole thing into perspective, everybody and anybody is putting the boot in, in any form or capacity available to them ! The hatred and vitriol aimed at our club is beyond comprehension, but we shall rise and overcome them.I doubt many clubs could fight off Mash from the scenario we were in.
We are under full scale attack.

The deal with Ashley was never running out.This is absolutely outrageous.
If my reading of all of this is correct, our original contract with the fat slug, where we got a few pennies in the pound, would run out this year or next. We would then have been free to do whatever we wanted. We now have, thanks to some absolute genius at the club, a contract with them which forces us to allow them to match any contract we negotiate with anyone else, this making it very difficult to break free from them without negotiating a contract which is very detrimental to us.We have tried to bypass this with this Elite nonsense, and instead of receiving pennies in the pound we have received literally nothing but have huge lawyers bills instead. That means instead of receiving maybe £1m per year we’re now paying out £2-3m per year. Worse still, there is no realistic possibility of this being concluded any time soon. It will go on and on and on for years to come, depriving us of a vital revenue stream and actually costing us money instead.
If I’m right then heads should roll - but they won’t. Whoever is responsible for this has sold us down the river big time and has done (and will continue to do) huge damage. It is gross incompetence and proof that there are people on the board who are utterly unfit for office.
My understanding was that it was originally a 7 or 8 year deal which gave us virtually nothing but was at least finite? It was then renegotiated to the mess we have now which gives them the opportunity to match anyone else. Is that not correct?The deal with Ashley was never running out.

Jesus Christ on a bike, if that’s the case then the spivs were even worse than I thought (if that’s possible) and makes the current fcuk ups with Elite slightly less worse.My understanding is after the 7 years he would have been able to tie us is for another 7.
I hope you are 98?I don't see an end to this shit to be honest. Not while I'm alive anyway.
The judge said Rangers would not face any penalties for receiving it. I think.I thought in the last case the judge said it was okay to pay the money. Are they deliberately with holding it now? So much for all the ITK posters that said they were just waiting on the last judgement. It reeks.

Ok then, fair enough.No need for the attitude mate. I’ve been more than fair in this thread, being respectful to those who disagree, I’d appreciate the same!
Don’t speak to me as if I’m some silly wee boy who takes the word of “a check out girl with big tits” and posts it as gospel.
In much the same way as ID10 passes on info in good faith, I’ve done the same with what I’ve been told. Just because I hold an apposing argument, doesn’t mean that I’m a plant or a tim, trying to set the cat amongst the pigeons.
You are well within your rights to disagree with me, but don’t attack me for the message I’m passing on cheers.
Came from Superiors in the company mate yeah. As we are all Rangers fans in the shop and were as equally concerned. Assurances were made and I’m happy to wait and see the outcome. I have stated, that I know I’m at the bottom of the ladder and IF Ashely was involved then ofcourse I wouldn’t be told. But I do currently believe the guys above me for what it’s worth.Ok then, fair enough.
Did your info come from high up?

smoking club in lanzagrottyGreen Monkey?
Part my memory says 7 years but now you’ve posted this that rings a bell. Anyone remember?My understanding is after the 7 years he would have been able to tie us is for another 7.
Nope. After the 7 year deal expired MASH still had same matching rights. Club renegiated to get more £ from same shit deal and hoped fans would suck it up and buy as usual.My understanding was that it was originally a 7 or 8 year deal which gave us virtually nothing but was at least finite? It was then renegotiated to the mess we have now which gives them the opportunity to match anyone else. Is that not correct?
