Remember the days when used to have great a

Two things

1- there's more to life than money, having more money than everyone else isn't the be all and end all for a football club

2- I am not posting lies, I continually said time and time again that my faith in Ashley was possibly misplaced and I could very very very well end up being wrong, but until there was enough evidence to suggest I was entirely wrong, I didn't write him off

The only people spouting lies, are those who posted the two comments above this one

"As far as I see it the Rangers board will struggle to make money unless Rangers as a business is improved. They need to improve the team to do this, improve the money generated. "

I guess that logic only applies to the King regime eh?

I'm not sure what you mean?

Ashley with the retail deal is in a position to still make money even if Rangers aren't doing particularly well on or off the park.

Can King etc make money at Rangers other than by taking Rangers forward at this moment? I doubt it.

Well on the one hand you are telling me Ashley had the club in the brink, then on the other you are telling me he can rake it in through the retail deal

Care to tell me how he can make a mint out of a retail deal this is being boycotted by fans of a club that is skint, going to the wall and can't continue without multi million pound loans forever being fed in that can't be paid back to keep it going

My point was that this Rangers board at this time has a harder time seeing a financial return than Ashley would have.

If Ashley had gained total control he can still potentially make money without the team necessarily being all that good.

The boycotts will have impacted his making money. He probably wasn't making a mint last season but previously he probably was.

We've also heard that Rangers had to purchase unsold stock (whether factual or not is not entirely clear) but if it was then it's clear he wasn't ever losing money.

stevie I don't need to lie to show you up

your doing a splendid job of that on your own

I agree that Ashley had the potential to make more money from the club than the current board does.

Having said that, the only way for Ashley to actually make money, on a regular basis, was to get the club on an even keel, wiping its feet and living within its own means, so that he could reap the benefits of the retail deal while not having to pump in millions of pounds in the from of loans just to keep the doors open.

So from that point of view, that was pretty much my basis for suggesting that Ashley may not be all that bad an option, as the business side of the club would most likely be put onto an even keel, and if that happened, our future and the ability to sustain ourselves without the need for sugar daddies and major investment was secured at the absolute least.

how can the club live within its means when he was loading us with debt via loans whilst he secured the assets against the loans?

he could control if we defaulted on them or not and bang he has everything

you just don't get it
