That egotistical fat tub of lard simply (I say simply)cannot be allowed to further tighten his hold over this once great empire he is a total embarrassment, one look on his twitter pages give you an insight as how he sees, well anyone outwith himself, he calls the NUFC protesters oxygen thieves, his sports direct Mugs are affectionately known as customers, joked about ched Evans (filth)and the downed Malaysian airline, and his foul mouthed and derogatory remarks about N EAST girls beggars belief, the list is endless, hasn't every true Bear suffered enough in recent years from this never ending conveyor belt of sh**sters out to make a quick buck without adding to it with this embarrassment. Good luck RANGERS tonight give it a real go, and good luck fellow BEARS with the protest give the hell, for we are the people.

Gardner – I totally disagree, the media are quite happy to make Ashley look like the big bad wolf who is stealing the family silver, I don’t buy that
However you feel about him, there is one thing you cannot deny, he is a very very good businessman and rarely fails
The SFA have blocked him (for the good of Scottish football pmsl) but if he could get control he would stop the huge losses and return modest profits back to the club, while putting some real investment in as well. Remember he offered to put 8 million in for 29% through a new share issue
He has loaned us money previously and is now willing to loan us another 10m to keep the club going
Newcastle fans seem unhappy because they will never win the EPL, it takes 100’s of millions to win that and he will not spend that money
We are all entitled to our opinion and I have my own opinion about things, I tend not to be swayed by media hysteria or campaigns
One thing is for sure though, one individual or one group need to take control of the situation now and get us back into a proper functioning club

If you look at bigger picture he is grabbing all assets on the cheap money is leaking out of ibrox so if alledgedly he is in cahoots with offshore investors money would be siphoned and he would be renting ibrox and facilities plus have retail and own board in place he has total contempt for fans and controls the board already would you buy a car from him I certainly wouldnt

JG - Get your head out off the sand m8 if Ashley gets the club there will be no club but a nice new Sports Direct Mega Store will appear.

We need to get them all out & I personally would start again if it meant the club had nothing to do with Ashley!

Jg that's right I definetly want 3bears but if its not possible ashley first and foremost will make us viable and to me that's very important and to do that he has to get us into premier league the biggest danger is the lunatics that that want to protest outside sports direct boycott games etc at this stage the club cannot basically stand it if it comes time for season books and there is no improvement then rangers are finished that's the biggest danger

Caisdyke - I could say the same M8 get your head out of the papers and forums, take a step back and look at the big picture

Are you telling me Ashley only wants the ground that Ibrox sits on

10m is a lot of money for a piece of ground to build a shop on!! and govan is not exactly mayfair or park lane (no offence to govanites)

What I am still trying to work out is what is Easdale getting out of this, there has to be something underhand going on here. No one in there right mind would sign up to the conditions Ashley imposes unless they are getting something from this, especially as so called life long fan.
He must know that we get next to he haw for TV in this country so the 4 major income streams are
1. Gate Receipts. - These are down because no one want Ashely, so he is by his action endorsing the fall in revenue
2. Retail Sales - We now make the least from Retail out of any club in the country, circa £2k I do believer for 6 month?
3. Advertising - Ashley get to effectively advertise for HE Haw, as such he has endorsed this fire sale.
4. Player sales - Under selling McLoud for half his market value.

So with out the above income streams we will never compete again, as it is this income stream that allow us to punch above our weight in the Scottish game.

Now I could almost accept the above is it was because Ashley bought all the rights up front for there market value, but he has invested next to SFA in us, as it is all Loans. And indeed if anything it is these deals that have led us to where we are,

I ask would be in the current predicament, if, we had the circa £4m p. a. we historically generate from Retail, The Historic Advertising income, and the gate receipts buy people turning up. So in effect the man who deliberately caused the situation stands to benefit greatly. So why on earth would you endorse the man.

So once again I ask are the above actions, that of a man that stands to gain nothing from endorsing Ashley at every turn. Or the actions of a man that stands to gain something?
