A bit of football news for a change, from the website on 10/02/2015 : RANGERS will take on Cowdenbeath in the rescheduled game at 3pm on Saturday March 7th at Central Park. I looked on the website and saw that the Home game against Queen of the South was scheduled for March 7th, but has been postponed. Rangers' EGM was set for Wednesday, 4th March 2015, in London; maybe it will be switched to Ibrox (?) ... where it should be held anyway. P.S. I know it is Queen of the South v Falkirk in the SFA Cup on the 7th.
Serious question - if the motions that all the rangers fans are voting on are carried, which it seems they will be, isn't there a chance that ashley could kill the club by demanding the return of his loans immediately? Part of the conditions of the loans were seats on the board, which the shareholders are now going to remove. He's clearly as ruthless as they come, I wonder how he's going to respond. He's had plenty of time to work out what to do in the event of losing the votes at the egm, I'm wondering what sort of unpleasant surprises he might have for the supporters after the general meeting.
Make them play in green and white strips? Give Elbows a new three year contract? Bring back Ally McCoist?
I don't keep track that much but I'm sure I've read somewhere that there is penalty fee if the loan is paid up prematurely.
Ashley pulling the financial plug is an interesting thought, a scary one too. I just hope that King & Co have considered this possibility too and have made contingency plans should they 'win' at the EGM.
Both King and the three bears have offered the current board substantial financial backing. Both have been knocked back in favour of Mike Ashley. Paying off Ashley and investigating the incredible contracts he has RE the clubs retail etc is top priority. King has said so in various interviews.
