No, you danced around it to shift blame onto the board and making out L.B were no problem to Ashley cos he got paid for unsold strips anyway. Your original point was that Ashley was a problem for them and their profit margins, my point is that the current board must be a bigger problem to their profit margins. Would you not agree?

How can stating Ashley was getting paid anyway be classed as dancing around the problem? The problem was they were not affecting him in making money as either way he made money. I think Ashley would eventually have put a stop to groups like this making money I covered that in an earlier post. This board will not, so this board for them will not be a problem.

They help at AGM by swaying gullible supporters they helped at the protests by affecting the sale of merchandise they stop supporters looking at the staggering losses we have made under this board.

They're exploiting fuck all, they're selling some unofficial merchandise which can be bought along with the official merchandise. You don't have to fucking buy it, in the same way you don't have to buy a scarf, a hat, a flag or a badge from all the other unofficial mechandise sellers at Ibrox, who going by your logic are also 'exploiting' the fans. This all boils down to petty wee blokes with wee petty agendas against specific individuals.

Smile 26,600 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Anybody taking money from Rangers without a contract with them is stealing money from the club at a time it needs it more than ever. Gear should only be bought officially with money going to Rangers or if they have a contract. Gascoigne8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionbrand have previously stated profit share went to the club but never proved it and then back tracked with ST and match ticket sales claims. That's the issue. Now that official merchandise is on sale this is a shameful alternative, directly aimed at taking money from the club. Fuck them, and no supporter with any sense should buy any of their shite. This. I cannot think many would surely buy this shite now mate, and if some do the numbers will be low I would hope. LochendBilly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
