Don’t ask question you don’t know the answer to

673

‘Don’t ask question you don’t know the answer to’; great advice.  Mike Ashley will know the questions he’s proposed for Rangers International.  All the bluster around the company failing to get a Nomad due to the litany of complaints submitted to AIM under the old regime will be laid bare.  Allegations of blame made in haste will be revisited in detail.  It was an act of outrageous folly to attempt to play poker with a billionaire.

It is perfectly possible that Ashley will get his £5m loan repaid, the assets connected to it are so enormous, we should assume the money will be found.  I hope it is.  I hope the new regime gain all of their assets back from Ashley as soon as possible.

Ashley is one of the last men I would want owning my football club, but he is vastly more capable than those currently in notional charge.

The Machiavellian method – get the board to vote to return your money, or watch them vote to keep you on-side, is a thing of beauty.

Good luck to King, I hope he has the money and wins as much control as he needs.

  1. SOT- no worries mate. Believe it or not he was wedged between ‘See you’ (extended edition) by Depeche Mode and Owen Paul :-)

     

     

    Bizarre indeed!

    Doncaster saying a good sponsorship couldn’t be done earlier because of financial difficulties at big clubs.

     

    Nothing to do with the people at the top saying the game was a dead duck?

    Wilson – “Rangers have yet to announce what their funding plan is”.

     

    Errr – “funding”!!!??? “Plan

     

    …………………………………………

     

     

    Oh the spin is making me dizzy….and my sides are sore :o))

     

     

    Funding plan…for what?

     

    The next 7 days

     

    The next home game

     

    The works daytrip to Sandbank

     

     

    Mr Wilson works on the naïve assumption that they have a funding plan – at all.

     

     

    They have YET to announce, so…that must mean that…you (Wilson) don’t know anything… you don’t know if they have a plan at all do you?

     

     

    Decoded Wilson is saying “Nobody knows anything about how sevco are gonnae pay their wages, and even if we’ll have a tea biscuit with our cup of tea today.”

     

     

    And overheard in the lavvie at ayebrokes “Whose brilliant idea was it to only charge a fiver this weekend? He wants sacking so he does. Cancel the face painting lassie.”

    A Cardiff bus company has had to remove an advert from the side of their buses.

     

     

    The advert features a semi naked lady and the slogan beside her said “for three pounds, you can ride me all day.”

  6. Yes, to be fair, I thought Raman asked a few telling questions of Doncaster. However, the angular haired one just tried to smarm and deflect his way out of them. He’s not the best man for the job I think.

    That is funny, most definitely funny, 30 years ago?

     

     

    What is going on?

     

     

    The Family is defunct noo.

  8. My paranoia has kicked in

     

     

    Doncaster said, lack of sponsorship was down to big clubs in difficulties,

     

     

    Well here’s hoping the two big clubs coming up are Hearts and Hibs !!

     

     

    Or will reconstruction take place to allow Rangers in, if, they don’t make it by their own efforts :(

  9. SOT- the very one, must have been why I bought it. Charlie Nic style profile on the cover, complete with white cotton suit :-)

    So important sometimes not to insert a comma in a sentence.

  11. Great to see Craig Gordon with the #1 shirt, thoroughly deserved.

     

     

    He optimises what the No1 is all about.

     

     

    Now for the #9 Shirt and while we’re at it, don’t we have a bit of a tradition with the #7.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  12. A little OT but may be of interest to anyone who lost a friend or relative whilst serving in the US military during the Vietnam war……..

     

     

    Under Lindenhurst New York is listed Alexander Chisolm from Dumbarton, we were buddies on Long Island New York and signed up to play football for Lindenhust FC on the same night……RIP Alec, a gentleman and a Hero………

     

     

     

    Vietnam Wall– This is Amazing

     

     

     

    This is really sobering. Click on the link and find the city you went to high school and look at the names.

     

     

     

    Click on the name and it will give details of the death.

     

    Vietnam Wall

     

     

     

     

    First click on a state.

     

     

    When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear.

     

     

    Then click on their names. It should show you a picture of the person, or at least their bio and medals.

     

     

    This really is an amazing web site. Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it.

     

     

    I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country.

     

     

    The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war with the names, bio’s and other information on our lost heroes. Those who remember that time frame, or perhaps lost friends or family can look them up on this site.

     

     

    Pass the link on to others, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed.

    Confirmation that my memory occasionally works is most welcome.

    Not thirty years ago. Mentioned on radio a couple of days ago.

     

    Not sexist though. A similar ad featuring a semi naked man also featured on the other side of the bus or another bus..

     

     

    Maybe an idea for James and Sandy?

  15. Ronny isnae with his Kids. :((

     

     

    Love is powerful. Ronny Deila has gave up so much to be the Celtic Boss.

     

     

    Perhaps the Timing was right, stars aligning…..

     

     

    all crap…. Ronny Dee has gave up so much to be the Celtic Gaffer, I have Total respect for that decision, personally, I’d never give a moment to the World when I can be with my Son.

  16. Doncaster in car crash radio on Shortbread, a liar or incompetant or both. Hail Hail Hebcelt

  17. Hard to keep up with Wilson the Spin and Dungcaster the Spin.

    “Doncaster saying a good sponsorship couldn’t be done earlier because of financial difficulties at big clubs.”

     

     

    If he actually said that (can’t see it on the online BBC site) then the poodles in the media missed another chance to raise their hand…

     

     

    Which big clubs?

     

    What financial difficulties?

     

    Does that mean that the financial difficulties are over?

     

     

    Direct Dungcaster quote from BBC site

     

    “We have had various offers over the period that we’ve rejected, but the clubs’ stance, which we think has been vindicated, was they wanted to wait for the right brand at the right money.”

     

     

    So after two years with no sponsorship and reduced winnings, the right brand is a High St bookie and the right money is an extra 3,600 going to the bottom club of Div 2 – on a two year deal and 268,000.00 going to the SPFL champions. Well, the good days are here again and well worth the wait.

     

     

    All that hard nosed bargaining and bluster got the SPFL just what they wanted.

     

     

    Rejected sponsorship offers?

     

    Because they had their dignity and pride to think about?

     

     

    Meanwhile the BRTH 1st Armoured Division are moving on their HQ.

    Indeed mate, the ‘armageddon’, and ‘civil unrest’ comments, came from Doncaster and Regan.HH

    According to Doncaster, it sounds like EVERYTHING is done “by the clubs”. What exactly does HE do then???

    He’s on Sportsound on RS right now. Definitely said that.

     

    Obviously couldn’t have been “Rangers”, as they were debt-free at the time.

     

    Wonder if the new deal has any “clauses”, like the old TV deal…?
