Hopefully true so we have a chance of a Nomad and new investment.

Is it a bit of a coincidence that the only people that are up in arms about no nomad is Ashley and the old board? Reason why we haven't appointed one is I think we have Ashley and co by the balls to not publically trade the shares. King has put in place a sound business model in place to put us competitive in the spl with the losses being approximately what we are missing out with the merch deal. I for one hope king stays! Am sure when we perform on the park these non stories about king will clear!

What planet are you on? The reason there is no nomad is because king drove the club into the ground by lying and brainwashing the support who then helped him starve and erode the foundations before he bought it up cheap and illegally and now a nomad won't work with the club or king as a man/ businessman or invest in a business that needs millions to survive every few months. Last time I checked ashley still has the club by the balls with the kit deal.
If that post was meant to be incredibly dry and humorous please excuse me sir.
If not you quite clearly are a buffoon.

It must be great to think that we have a guy who is worth 4 billion plus by the balls, he must really be fretting over what comes next. This is the guy who could make us a real force in Europe, if we would accept him.

Well personally I hope that the rumour is true and that we see the back of King! He brings nothing to the Club financially and if he wasn't a Rangers supporter he would be seen as little different to those that have gone before him since the end of the Lawrence Dynasty.

We need to renegotiate the Sports Direct Deal so that it works for the Club, that could be done but not while King is in control. There is too much bad blood between him and Ashley! We also need to find a new sponsorship deal and in due course a new shirt manufacturer so we can generate serious income on the back of being both in Europe and in the top league. Somehow I don't see us doing that with King at the top.

The remainder of our current Board generally has credibility. Outside of Ibrox I suspect that King has very little.

If only we could attract someone like McColl or even a consortium led by the ex Crystal Palace guy!

zandermac, he would not make us a force, he wants us to be his b-team for newcastle, nothing else and look at what he has done down there. he hasn't put his money in and is still raking in more money from them than he ever would put back in, so why on earth would he help us. honestly open your eyes mate, ashley is not the way forward.

and to the other guys that said king ripped up the foundations that were at the club; 1 question mate what foundations?
Are you honestly saying the club was in a better position before king came in because everyone with a brain and a set of eyes can see we are much better off!
im not saying you need to like the guy, but saying nonsense like that is exactly that, nonsense!

What Ashley has done at Newcastle is not investing in them but giving them interest free loans to spend big and any transfer fees he makes on selling he with draws from the club. Funny how McLeod was sold for 500k and immediately after the Newcastle 5 came along with a contingent payment of 500k if we got promoted. Regarding my comment about having Ashley by the balls we can all see that it isn't about the money the guy can't stand losing and not getting his way. This is what I think king is using to leaverage a better sports direct deal.
