54andcounting 627 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Rangers recently signed a retail agreement with Ashley's Sports Direct firm and the businessman has been looking to secure a separate deal giving him a shareholding in the Scottish Football League club.Green last week launched a £20million share issue scheme for fans and is also looking to attract institutional investors.Green, whose consortium bought the club's assets and business for £5.5million when it was consigned to liquidation, told Sky Sports News: "As you know we've been trying to get the position clear where Mike can buy shares in Rangers."We finally got clearance from the Football League after they had a board meeting recently and the meetings this afternoon were to make sure the path's clear for Mr Ashley to invest."He's obviously keen to do that and I'm sure that will get completed in the next few days."I think we've already stated previously that he's not allowed to take a material stake because of the dual ownership position."It was made clear to the football league that it would be single-digit percentages. So it's below what I said to the financial authorities that no-one would hold more than 10 per cent. Mike will be under the 10 per cent level."There's lots of things that we want to do with Sports Direct. Mike's very, very influential."http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/article/332/8179628/ashley-set-for-stake-in-rangers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebear1971 54 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I'd be happy if he came on board - He seems to be a very good business man and you don't hear Newcastle fans complaining about him now.This is the type of people we need investing in the club along with the fans.

Jimfanciesthedude 25,475 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 What do you think to having sports direct as the stadium sponsor?not a problem with that, unless it was for peanutsI doubt Green would even consider that until he has delivered a good few years of success though, having the fans on his side right now is more important than anything else to him and his consortiums plans Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
