Its now time to have all jargon we have on Fat Mike is released to the media! I know they say they can't release any details because of the contract but there is ways and means to release info to the media?
Today's news about £1 a year for the rent of the Megastore is simply disgusting! And surely it's time to get the demonstrations going! 🇬🇧.

This is just one dodgy deal I'm the box with all the others.
The men who ran this club into administration only got involved to get their pound of flesh it would seem.
King came in to a fight with his hands already tied due to these, no doubt legally sound contracts.
There is nothing to be accomplished by demonstrating about Ashley and his working practices, the guy isn't stupid and he will have a team making who made sure all the I's were dotted and all the t's crossed.

Fat Mike has already backed down in his working practices at Sports Direct so I wouldn't be too sure that he is as fire proof as you think. It seems clear that he and the former directors of the club haven't acted in the best interests of the club and hopefully the club can rid themselves of him once and for all. As for the boycott fans must continue to do this and not meekly accept it as you think.

Not at all Yately.
Shouting about it in large numbers won't change a thing, that is what I am saying.
I agree with you and how you feel but look at it realistically, the men in charge know the facts and if there were any loose ends they would have been exposed already.
So filtering stories to the media will do nothing, for example look at the scandal sports direct has already faced; pay for employees and unpaid work. What happened with them?
No real backlash and no real punishment for Ashley.
I'm not saying sit down and shut up while you watch the money Rangers need go to line Ashley's pockets, King already has him in court and that is the only way it's going to change.

Biffo, I never said accept it and I never said fans shouldn't continue to boycott merchandise sales.
He backed down to please the media and deflect pressure received from the government, he never received punishment and got away with it.
He claimed he would give employees back pay of around £1m total, this isn't a big dent for him.
I am saying the same thing as you, he has acted against the club's interests in his contracts and the courts will highlight this to our benefit with any luck.
I don't think he is fire proof, far from it. However, he isn't this wealthy because he makes naive dealings here and there.

You do know Ashley gave your club an unsecured loan around the same time. A loan that more than likely kept your club afloat.
Where as Mr king? Other people's money.

Ashley lent money to get a grip on the club and we have more than paid for that.
At the time, wee had better loan options that wouldn't have left us with all these contracts that are of zero benefit to Rangers.
