Utter nonsense, as well you know. Seems you're jumping to conclusions based on massive over-reactions on certain fans forums and the swill that the fans' groups and the media are constantly pouring into that trough you can't keep your pig-ignorant snout away from.

Of more concern to me is your laughable inability to understand 'trading insolvently'. Where do you get this stuff from? Ahh. . . back at that trough again. . .of course.

The other 5 million is on drawdown as and when required- looks like it will be required pretty soon imo. Honestly please, where do you see this ending, bearing in mind that these are loans, being paid back with further loans?.
More swill from the trough. You have no idea how long the money will last.
As for it 'ending'? Sadly for you, it certainly won't end in administration or Rangers dying.
I have little doubt that Ashley's plan is to eventually own Rangers outright, and I don't see him only controlling individual parts of our revenue streams - which are piffling amounts in his scheme of things - as advantageous to him in any significant way. If he's happy to run Rangers as a mid-table premiership team and not as title challengers then his investment will be doomed from the start as the fans will boycott. So why make the investment in the first place?
Likewise, I don't buy into the theory that Ashley is only interested in Rangers so he can get a raised profile for Sports Direct in the European market. Nobody has credibly explained how that would be achieved.
So that leaves the question: Why exactly is he so interested in Rangers if it's not to make sackfuls of cash, and it's not to promote SD abroad?
I notice nobody ever seems to suggest football reasons for his interest. That's the influence of the media trough again.
Personally I have two areas of concern over Mike Ashley - his lack of transparency with the fans (a statement or two outlining his plans for the future wouldn't go amiss) and his dual interest in Newcastle which has been flagged up by the SFA.
If he could sort these two areas of concern out then he'd have my 100% support. The club needs stability and he can provide it.
