Well Bears, having tried to make sense of the back pages today, it looks certain that an announcement will be made to the stock exchange next week of emergency funding from Ashley. It's an old saying but " How do you eat an elephant? The answer is a bit at at time"
That's exactly how Ashley is eating up Rangers

Ashley is in a power game now with other business men. It's their game now, it about ego.

The frustration of watching from the sidelines is horrible for all Rangers fans who have helped to build the assets of the Club over the years - now those assets are in a poker game with little chance of anyone other than Ashley winning - he has the most chips piled up at the table.

Let's hope King or the 3 Bears don't fold, let's hope they go "All in". The EGM may yet still see a change of board, but I fear we will forever owe an "IOU" to Ashley.

All is not lost!

If King and The Three Bears manage to get control of Rangers at the forthcoming EGM (which seems feasible) then they will need serious funding to remove The Bored, MA and his loans, and start the slow process of rebuilding the infrastructure from the ground upwards.
I would like to see them meet with Sarver to come up with a reasonable plan of action to take on MA, and present this plan to all shareholders, especially those who are against them.
If they win I would like to see The New Rangers Board meet with those contractors who where out of pocket when RFC went into administration and come up with a plan to reimburse all monies owed - this gesture would put an end to the past wrongdoings of Whyte et al.

The BlueBells are Blue.

Ayr Bear Bunch

We need funds right now to keep going so be they from the 3 Bears or Ashley it is still funding that has to be cleared when our new board brings in corporate governance, a complete restructuring of our wage structure, then addresses Season Tiicket campaign and sponsorship deals to bring our income up to higher than our outgoings. balancing the books.

So regardless of Ashley or 3 Bears whoever gives us funding until this new corporate restructuring is in place will have to be paid it doesn't make it harder if it is Ashley it is just a bonus if it is a straight loan with no Ibrox security.

The other option which will likely be used is a new share issue diluting current shares (bonus if dilutes Ashley especially), bringinging in millions to wipe all debts and most importantly allowing what Murray and King have been touting FAN ownership, hopfly 51% to ensure we never ever suffer the last 3 years again. A trusted group in our board of King, Murray, Gilligan and possibly 3 Bears will have no problems with this as fans will be over the moon to herald a new honest and open dawn. We showed in Div 4 and 3 plus green's share issue the level of support there if we feel we are making a difference

My other main hope is that ALL the dodgy contracts issued by green and pals, esp to Ashley in form of the kit deal plus any other deals are torn up or if we have to see them out then that a total boycott is organised officially to stop any money going to Ashley

Ayr bear the only thing about this game of poker is Ashley has more money, but more to the point he knows everybody else's hand, due to his dealers on the board, ie the bears offer 5million, as the board said that was what was needed, then the slip Ashley the card, telling him to up the auntie, remember Ashley is supposed to be going on the blind, these dealers were not put there by Ashley, that will be the squeal to the sfa, no influence from Ashley, ma boz.
