No mate. Ashley still has what he wanted. Rangers by the balls. Dave King has clearly and sadly not ousted him at all
This is different .
This affects the club, and the fans confidence in our whole set up . After years of boycott people are now keen to pay money for kits and to proudly wear it , and contribute to the clubs finaces
I said I won’t be buying any more merchandise until I am certain SDI don’t get a penny of it . That’s my personal choice . I’m not asking anyone else to do anything.
As far as I see that’s not currently the case and therefore I’ll put my money in through another avenue other than merchandise to ensure the club don’t lose out .
Is that so difficult to grasp ? I do not trust Ashley or SDI one bit and having already spent a fair bit on kit for the kids I’ll now draw a line there until it’s all sorted for certain . I hope that’s okay with you ?
Ay, but how much longer will we be protected by European law for? 31st October?
We can still buy tops. A definitive decision will likely be some time away.
It’s not great. But nor is it the death knell others are pushing.
Why would it affect your confidence in the Club?
You are a complete drama queen and contradicting yourself, go to bed and do yourself a favour.
I agree , it’s miles from a death knell and I don’t think any bears will be taken in by hollicom or whoever spin in this day and age .
I’ve said time and again it’s manageable and while it makes a dent it’s still a better position to be in than the ridicuous previous pence in the pound deal we had .
However you only need to read through the board and speak to friends and family to understand how it knocks confidence , as I explained earlier we have only now got used to seeing our kids around town and on holiday proudly showing off the new kit and it’s brilliant to see . Anything that throws a cloud over that clearly pisses us off and gives us a knock - it’s only natural .
While I fully back out board in all they’ve done , mistakes and all , it’s clear this retail situation is a minefield to get out of and we haven’t made a good job of it so far . In time it’ll be resolved I’m confident of that much .
Our board would have been taking legal advice from Blair and others in regards the retail deal, the same people our board would have been taking legal advice in regards the Ibrox memorial garden,then signing the contract which we then decided to rip up and now sees us with yet another company taking us to court and suing us for guess what "breach of contract".Can I just anyone slaughtering the board can GTF as far as I am concerned
I have to challenge. There is NO route in the judgement to write a tidy cheque to get rid of him. The contract allows renewal in perpetuity on matches terms. You are just making things up.
Absolute rubbish , read my posts . Drama queen ? I’ve been consistent that there’s no drama here and that it’s a perfectly manageable , if undesirable , situation .
Now you move on .
No drama, perfectly manageable, but you chose not to buy merchandise despite the club advising it’s fine. Maybe we don’t sell kit in the colours you normally wear?
No, because if we leave the EU, all EU based laws will be adopted into our legislation....

Do you not see a pattern here.
I don’t know . I’d imagine the contract was signed while under European law which could be what counts .
I do have confidence we will get there with this eventually , it’s just going to require patience and time . SDI are pure poison , nobody should even consider using them or any of Ashley’s companies .
I understand people wanting to do boycotts etc again. This bastard doesnt care a jot .. its personal now with him and principle.. this is a shit who walked into a 0hr contract sweatshop last week holding a wad of £50 notes...
I really dont when this is going to end
I would also say that there’s nothing to boycott in relation to rangers at the minute.I understand people wanting to do boycotts etc again.

Contracts will need re-papered under Brexit. Could be a way out.
Yeah but with the rumours that SDI would have the exclusive rights for next season, the Rangers statement didn’t really clarify for the future.Well you’re hardly going to be able to buy next seasons just now?
I’d prefer to deal with the current problems rather than worry about potential problems a year down the line,each to their own though.Yeah but with the rumours that SDI would have the exclusive rights for next season, the Rangers statement didn’t really clarify for the future.
Two negatives that will cost the club millions, a retail deal that the very board you talk about signed a deal with Ashley, the same board who thought it was clever bringing in Elite to get one over Ashley when he had a watertight contract and through that there is a high possibilty that Hummel will have their contract terminated and then perhaps Elite and Hummel suing the club.You have picked 2 negatives from a tenure that includes many positives. If it wasnt for the current board you wouldnt have a club never mind a fuckin memorial garden to greet about
What are you building that assumption on?I'm not making anything up, I'm just giving my opinion.
I stand by it we won't be going back into a deal with SD it is impossible now.

Excuse me for being a little pissed off.

I still cant believe that matching clause was overlooked, absolute incompetence

I don't believe anyone can be that stupid. I don't think anything was overlooked. If we didn't sign that new contract Ashley would have walked and held us to the 7 year deal. I think we've gambled and obviously lost.I still cant believe that matching clause was overlooked, absolute incompetence
You honestly think it was overlooked? You dont think it was negotiated over?
Ashley has us tied up to a certain extent with merchandise but that's it. Before that he had a large percentage of shares. Free advertising. Rights to edminston house etc etc. What would you have done different.. Ah that's right stay In the 7 year deal where we got 7p in the £ then when it ended it also had the matching rights clause in it.
The board came into a mess and are trying. YES. trying to get out of it. Obviously it's harder to break contracts
If we can get the fat kunt to the table I would try and come to some agreement to be done with him once and for all. Pay the fat prick.Reality is this will run and run and run.
Judgement, appeal, new claim, Judgement, appeal, claim and so on..until a judge says enough is enough. Pay the fat c-nt x amount of money and that's the contract void due to toxic relations.
He wants to bankrupt us. It’s a game to himIf we can get the fat kunt to the table I would try and come to some agreement to be done with him once and for all. Pay the fat prick.

Yes, they wouldnt have willingly planned on walking into 2 years of litigation knowing they wouldnt have a leg to stand onYou honestly think it was overlooked? You dont think it was negotiated over?

EUlaw passes over to British Law until London sifts its way thru 40 odd years of EU Law keeping what we want and throwing out the rest.Ay, but how much longer will we be protected by European law for? 31st October?
This is extremely wishful thinking to the point you're bordering on delusion mateOf course it wasn't overlooked. Its just one calculated move in this drawn out battle.
Yes, they wouldnt have willingly planned on walking into 2 years of litigation knowing they wouldnt have a leg to stand on
STUPID QUESTION TIME....
What happens if we just say “aye, no bother” to the courts and continue dealing directly with Hummel and Elite? Presumably fines would follow, would it get any more serious than that? Folks getting banged up etc?
It wouldn't have had Rangers followed their contractual obligations which they agreed to, can't use the spivs as an excuse this timeLitigation will go on for the foreseeable regardless. SDI have zero interest in dealing with Rangers. Their only plan is to frustrate the process for as long as they possibly can.
We are all entitled to an opinion.I have a problem with cunts like you trying to mix it
