Agreed mate.The entire operational board have been badly letting King down from the start. They know it. They need to do something about it

Input as in what he wants the outcome to be.So are you saying King has had absolutely no input into any of this?
Dave King doesn't have anywhere near the same wealth as the fat man, to think so would be silly.he's a man with just as much wealth as Ashley, just because he doesn't swing his dick about like the fatcunt doesn't mean he can't go toe to toe with him.
King and the board have to take a shared responsibility.Input as in what he wants the outcome to be.
However, he’ll still be getting advice on how we’re fixed legally.
Fixed legally ? No offence but you only have to read the court report to see that we're legally fucked.Input as in what he wants the outcome to be.

Is the solution to this as simple as signing a deal to allow a supplier/distributor to make and sell kits under licence?
Hummel/elite will be aware roughly of the number of kits we can shift. So we charge an upfront fee based on expected sales. Low risk for a proper retail partner as the kit will fly off the shelves.
Anything they sell over and above will be a bonus for them, we will loose out on revenue in the short term i.e. One season but if the deal isn't matched by SDI then we're rid of them.
Is the fat slug likely to match a deal where he has to part with a sizeable amount of cash upfront? Given that most will boycott and sales won't be anything near what another supplier would sell.
I'll tell you the easiest route to go down, Rangers shareholders should take court action against Sommers for not acting in the best interest of the football club they hold shares in by giving such a deal to the fat man in the first place.Every possible avenue should be explored to rid us of Ashley once and for all.
Ruling in favour of the company who followed the rules of the contract?Judge ruling in favour again with a company who have no interest in being our partner, it’s a farce.
The boot that we positioned ourselves on the ground to graciously receive?in what scenario does a judge think that allowing a corporation to have its boot at the neck of another one is acceptable?
I've been saying this for months.
Get a firm to give us a stupidly favourable deal.
Best case scenario: SDI walk away
Worst case scenario: SDI match it and make %^*& all from us
Yes, but was that the advice he was given?Fixed legally ? No offence but you only have to read the court report to see that we're legally fucked.
Exactly my thoughts.I've been saying this for months.

Don,t think it's about the money with the fat man any more.its personal.Fat Mike & Sports Direct wont be getting a penny from me ever.
It’s easy for me to say being an overseas Bear but the support as a whole need to be far more militant over this.
There’s still idiots that use the megastore FFS!
Exactly my thoughts.
I’ve said similar on another post.
There must be a reason for such a simple solution not to be the answer.
Edit: like part 70 of the judgement.
£3 million.Is it possible for King to get a sit doen with this (unt and see what it will take to rid him to fu(k off forever. Even if it means King losing face the greater good is Rangers.
I still cant believe that ashley has been a (unt from the start. If hed played the game hed be raking it in
Not forgoing a pleasure payment of £3 million.Ashley has taken kings trousers down and skelped his arse.
See post 670What’s part 70?
Can’t face reading it all lol

Reading between the lines on this judgement and the knowledge of posters on the thread , it seems like a lump sum will inevitably have to be paid to SDI in order to end this painfully long drawn out saga .
It’s not going to be a million but it’s not going to be £10 million either. You’d think a payment of around £5 million will easily cover the 1mill from last season , same for this and next , plus cover the injunction .
As we are losing a fortune every time we lose in court anyway , is it not time to take a step back, pay them the £4 or £5 mill ( roughly) and get shot of these utter parasites once and for all ? The situation can’t continue and I’d rather spend that money getting rid of Ashley and SDI for good than sign another player , for example .
At some point we need to up stumps and call an end to the charade .
tried that before and only about 100 of us turned up.Time to fight a dirty war with SD.
A coordinated effort with Newcastle fans could paralyse some of his stores on a given day... maybe filling baskets, getting loads of items scanned at the check out then walk away - leave them to cancel the scan again to cancel, and then put all the stuff back.
Returns would not work because SD issue credit notes.
Would also be worth doing something at the Frasers store in Glasgow to show the middle class shopper that it's now a glorified SD tat shop.

If that was the case then yes, but I dont see anything that says we can get rid of them. It sounds like they have a clause that they get to match whatever other offer we get?
What is bugging me.For the last 2 years I have been buying official merchandise via the gersonline and the Belfast shop. The thought that Ashley will be getting his hands anywhere near my (around a grand) money makes me sick.
Somehow we need to be told if we are to continue buying merchandise from offical sources.

I think this is the issue, a lot of fans don't bother with this side of things.
Said a hundred times and I'll say it again, we as a support do not realise the power we hold collectively.
The thought has crossed my mind that the reason for the stock shortages isnt down to Hummel.What is bugging me.For the last 2 years I have been buying official merchandise via the gersonline and the Belfast shop.

I reckon it will be 1 million plus loss of revenue so possibly 6 million in total
Whilst you are correct on this, I'm not holding my breath. Our board are not exactly the best at communicating with the fans.On a more serious note, the Board need to either publicly, or via Club 1872, clarify exactly what the current position is, and what options are open to both the Club and its supporters.
There is so much misinformation around, that the only way the club can properly harness the support to secure the change we all need, is to unambiguously clarify the situation as above. If the support then decide to take whatever action is deemed appropriate, then at least they will be doing so knowing (a) where we are coming from, and (b) where we are going to. And, of course, any such action would not be instructed by the Club, but would be originating from the support itself.
This nightmare has gone on for far too long, and needs ended without further delay.
That can’t be the case forever though, there’s a European law against it stated by another poster on this thread .
Remember also we have a man , stubborn as Ashley when it comes to legal matters , our own Mr King . However surely after this latest loss , we must be looking at severing ties with SDI for good by making an approach with what is seen as a reasonable settlement .
It will stick in the craw as they say but will be worth it as long as not exhorbitant.
I doubt that. Loss of revenue would be part of the damages claim. The damages claim in aggregate is limited to £1m.
We tried for it and it got knocked back I belive, it's looking like it's going to be substantially more. Sickening after all this the he's still going to get a huge chunk of our merchandise sale.So the whole capped damages at 1 million was a load of sh1te then ?
How much do you reckon to pay them off Marty ( if that’s the inevitable outcome ) .
I’d guess between £2 and £4 million but even if it takes £5 its worth it in the end
