None of those who have loaned the company money will want to see it disappear, though who knows what security was offered.

The security offered in exchange for the various loans has been published and widely reported.
The security offered for the most recent loan is reported in one of the links you posted above.

2nd manager to resign in just a month & almost daily the financial/boardroom struggles take another twist

The funniest comment I heard recently was during the snow abandoned Hearts game at Ibrox.
The club could not find an orange ball [funny in itself] but then the TV guy suggested that they should have popped down to the nearest Sports Direct shop.

How much lower can this once great club go? Very sad for the supporters.

Mike Ashley taking the mickey, a board of crooks in his pocket and the SFA doing exactly that about it. Fans are already outraged but this latest news is almost unbelievable.

The 21 days to call an EGM runs out tomorrow, will be interesting to see what transpires...

Ashley offloading his Newcastle duds on the Sevco wage bill.
Brilliant bit of business.

I was wondering how it could get any worse for Rangers.......
If Ashley wants to get shot of Newcastle and buy Rangers he's not exactly endearing himself to the fans with this sort of nonsense is he!?
Unless he is just there to get the money from the shirt sales, but I believe the fans are stopping buying them?
Just gets worse and worse for Rangers.

Ashley couldn't care less about the fans of any club.

Fair point.....
I guess he sees Rangers as a (long term) cash cow, buying them cheap and soon enough they'll be back near the top of the spl, in Europe etc?
Would he turn a profit on Newcastle if he sold them?

How do you know , I heard he does care and cares a lot

No idea what his end game is but he's not making any friends. Dave King is risking what credibility he has by stating that he'd be prepared to work with Ashley.
Right now, Rangers fans are boycotting the games and, surely, none of us are going within a country mile of a Sports Direct shop.

The temporary manager stated , he's been told he must select the 5 on loan players in every game if they're fit .
TBPH, they really can't be any worse than the present lot .
Sad times for true football fans [ not the hooligans and bigots that cling on]

Sort of what I mean....
Rangers are absolutely desperate for cash, any cash they can get. Yet every decision made by anyone in power there seems to alienate the fans even more resulting in low crowds and not selling any merchandise!?
I haven't followed it that closely but it just seems a crazy situation, you think they'd be doing everything possible to get tickets sold and fans back to support the club in terms of generating as much cash over the counter as they can.......

Yeah. I'm in utter despair about the situation. I'm not even convinced that Dave King is the right guy but what we do know is the current board and Ashley are the wrong guys. The fans will not be back until there is complete regime change with a board who we can believe have Rangers' interests at heart.
The merchandise revenue stream is closed anyway. Even if the fans were buying, less than 10% goes to the club, Ashley trousers the rest.
arent 5 players from the (mid) EPL much better players than the current Rangers team? seems a no-brainer to play them
