Check their rate against Travelex. BA used to offer decent rates for their Exec club members but if you went to order them it turned out it was through Travelex and on checking Travelex's own online rate was better. Although Virgin probably do it through their own banking arm, would check the Virgin money rate as well though. Last time I went over there, Ramsdens of all people, were the best rate. The Mrs wasn't happy going in there to collect it mind.

Condolences AH

Russia got mashed in Afghanistan too, as has just about everyone from Alexander the Great onwards. Huge difference between Afghanistan and Ukraine in terms of the suitability of the landscape for modern armies to operate. This Cornwall thing (oh aye! spotted off Cornwall, tracked from Russian airspace more like) just like the 70's, was daily occurrence back then, Russian plane swans about in international airspace, turns towards UK, fighters scramble and escort it away, pilots waving to each other.

Based upon the occasional photo's that appeared online, of him out and about (usually in nightclubs/bars) his family must be composed mainly of young perma-tanned women.

The corruption is way more interesting than games these days.

Offended, Oh I am sorry, do you ever read Bears Den btw ? Anyway on the second point of other funding being available. Based on the losses youre making and the fact there is no money in the bank, if someone calls in their loans that funding is going to need to be around £16/18 Million (my estimate- £10Mill to Sd plus around £2+Mill/month operating costs) just to pay off the debts to SD and to get to season ticket time. Even in that event SD will still control Retail anyway unless that also is bought out for even more moolah, given RR is now a separate company to all intents and purposes controlled by SD. Even if Dave King wins the EGM, Id be quite surprised if his endgame isnt Admin at some point to try and rid him of the onerous contracts (if they havent been called in). That is if he can even stand as a director, we know the SFA will bow down as they always have, but the law in respect of Phoenix companies may not (and that would apply to Murray as well). Theres talk of yet another share issue, that would need 75% shareholder approval, even if they lose the EGM the Ashley and Easdale group shareholdings can block that and the only choice then would be either King and the 3 Bears pour cash in or an insolvency event. An insolvency event is still a possibility IMO, whatever happens at the EGM (if it takes place).

And potentially costly, Huns subscribe to Rangers first who then buy shares, if the end game is an insolvency event through which Ashley has security on the major assets and trademarks etc. The shares RF are buying could end up being worthless.

It matters hugely. If it's out of Rangers pocket their debt to SD increases via putting more money into Ashley via NUFC.

Much of London is, aye.

A bit like the rest of the UK then.

That's why who is paying for the loan players is important. It doesn't appear to be to Ashley's benefit to do TRFC a favour, it would seem to be in his interest to have them owe him more money as he is in firmer control over what makes money (or what has value) increases. They are overspending (losing) £800K a month, that shortfall is covered by loans from SD secured on the retail business (which is profitable) and all the assets of worth of TRFC (excluding £1brox). If TRFC are paying for the loaned players they are using the money loaned by SD (Ashley), so in effect are paying NUFC (Ashley) for the privilege, but not reducing, but likely increasing, their indebtedness to SD (Ashley). If NUFC are picking up the tab, that would be outrageous and would certainly increase evidence of undue influence.

?????????????????????

It's delicious, because I fucking despise the two bigoted arse cheeks in Glasgow and having followed the Rangers saga closely the enablement granted to them by the authorities during the whole corrupt fiasco is unreal. The fact that Rangers are now victims of the emperor of bloodsucking cunts, having been that themselves to the game in Scotland, with SFA complicity going back to Murray and his BoS relationship, is what is delicious.

It's regular competitive football at a higher level than the U21's but I doubt the player development had much to do with it. Anyone heard if any loan fees involved ?? Ashley (via SD) loans "The Rangers" money to keep the lights on, yet any fees for these players come to NUFC (i.e. Ashley) so he could be actually using up some of those emergency loans to pay himself back via the NUFC player fees and wages savings, but (and this is the good bit) Rangers would still owe him the full amount. Which is delicious if it's what he's doing.

Related to that evidently, anyway, no doubt the content will surface again on Skunkers as the lad who posted has put it up on FB (I'm not linked to can't see it) that poster has been given a temporary ban, which is in itself causing consternation as Skunkers is supposed to have a no banning under any circumstances policy.

Not 100% sure, but someone was dogging him about hitting women, then published a PM that LM sent to him and it went from there evidently. Typically it was in a Fred thread set up to keep his "When will Ashley match Fred and the Hall's" etc stuff in one place, - and yes it didn't work on Skunkers either.

http://www.skunkers.net/showthread.php?t=76999&page=2 Thread talks about the meltdown, which I never saw, but thread itself containing meltdown has gone.

LM melted down on Skunkers yesterday evidently, threatening calling in the Police and Lawyers etc with alleged screen grabs as evidence, after, of course, he'd changed his avatar from a dog in a burka and edited some of his own posts to remove the less than PC content.

It's an additional 26% of the retail business on top of the 49% SD already owns. Also from 2017/18 future income from shirt sponsorship belongs to Rangers Retail, not the club. He's gutting them.
