One year ago General Ashley was in court against the Scottish Football Association.
He dropped the case, but claimed a moral victory.
At the time the local media took the side of the world class administrators at Hampden.
However, Big Mike was delighted with that foray into court.
That is because he received internal documentation from the SFA on the ‘Fit and Proper’ investigations into David Cunningham King.
One report was into King’s appropriateness to be chairman of The Rangers Football Club (formerly) Sevco Scotland Limited).
The other document explored his suitability to be chairman of Rangers International Football Club (RIFC).
The first one was a non-starter, but there was wriggle room on the parent company.
My Shirebrook guy today told me that General Ashley will soon call for these TWO reports be made public.
I think the chaps at Hampden should respond positively to this request when it is made.
In the interests of transparency, of course.

Hi Phil, I’ve sent a comment, above, which my autocorrect has mangled, due to me being unable to scroll back to check it.
This normally wouldn’t be a problem but we can no longer Copy & Paste sent items off the page on the new site, like we could on the old site.
These two problems, and the fact that some new feeds are not showing up in my timeline, are making it more difficult for me to comment.
Although, of course, that may we’ll be your intention 😀
Keep up the good work.
Your going to look mighty stupid when rangers survive the stormy waters only. To sail safely into port with either mr king or general Ashley’s minions pulling the strings at the club . My preference would be big mikes men in charge putting the club on an even keel before investing heavily in about two years time remember this Phil a billionaire wants that club for a reason
Really, Phil has been saying consistently for a long time now that ashley was on track to get Sevco on an even keel and start rebuilding organically.
I would have thought the ones that will look stupid are “ra peepil” who fell hook line and sinker for a “real rangers man” promising to over-invest but ultimately, just like Murraym Whyte and Green before him reliant on other people’s money.
Falling for that pish for a fourth time has set the recovery of sevco back at least a few years, and that’s only if Davey boy’s hubris permits walking away without fleecing his concert partners for 26p a share.
He’ll just retreat back to the southern hemisphere with his tail between his legs telling glib and shameless lies about how none of it was his fault and his tenure was actually a triumph while the club and the actual investors have to face the damage that trying brinksmanship with t e takeover panel has done and ultimately realising two years too late that Ashley really is the only game in town.
Lol, another saviour to rally behind, Big Mike will just throw his money around and everything will be alright.
I don’t think Phil will look stupid at all, as he isn’t predicting the death of the new club here, even tho gub he rightfully predicted the demise of the old one 5 years ago.
He has consistently said that it’s difficult to say how this will play out, that Ashkey might well seize control, and shaft your fans into further misery, or he might not.
Odd that no one, but no one, saw the TAB ruling coming, not even Sevco’s own board.
How, and why, did your ‘Mr King’ keep that under wraps for so long?
Think about it. Take your time.
All Phil has consistently said is that this fledgling new club/company/criminal racket is a loss making ‘business’ without a credit line from a bank, no ore and no less.
So I’d say it’s you that looks pretty stupid here, chief.
LOL … King is done up like a kipper.
Mike Ashley will have no love for the Gers supporters now. He’ll do the bare minimum once in and try to extract as much profit and free advertising.
It will be delightful to watch your support go grovelling back to him.
Priceless entertainment.
Your stupidity knows no bounds,
Phil – there’s more chance of the canteen menu of the Pentagon and GCHQ reaching the public domain than the dossiers held by those most-respected guardians of the game at Hampden will. It would be fun though!
There no chance of that when you have Jim traynor decided what the Scottish media print what chance do we have oh that right he’s rangers PR
There is no transparency from Hampden despite it being part of their mission statement. Regan wouldn’t recognise the word if he tripped over it.
He’s CEO of an organisation that is a laughing stock, doesn’t have the trust of Scottish football fans and his former President(EBT) has been exposed as a bare faced liar in his evidence to the LNS enquiry, yet is now jetting around Europe at UEFA ‘ s expense
Big Mike can ask but how can he force their hand to make the documents public especially if they contain information that either King or the SFA, or both , would rather remain locked away for eternity.
Of course if Ashley has copies of the paperwork is there anything to prevent him
Or the cleaner finding them in the waste paper basket.;)
On fire the past 24 hours Phil . Your piece on the lawyers and ft impressed johnjames when I pointed it out . It’s great people like you , john James and the clumpany dare to tell us what’s going on when the mssm bury their heads in the sand ! Only publish night time feel good fairy tales and hope this is a bobby Ewing scene from Dallas ! It was all a bad dream !
This is all well and jolly. Ultimately King et.al. will be run out of town and Big Mike will ride to the rescue. The MSM will yet again fire up the air brush and Ashley will be the next big thing since David Murray. All they want is the perpetuation of the ‘old firm’. Rinse and repeat. Sad.
Here we go,hit them this week, off the park.HH
Now that is interesting! I am sure there was lots of MSM coverage and indeed SFA commentary about this at the time…
However, on more pressing matters can I advise your readers to retire to a place of safety?
