    Couldn't see it on your board, soz if been done.......delete if it has..

    Can't, won't, will he?



    Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is understood to be in negotiations with Rangers for naming rights to the Glasgow club’s iconic Ibrox Stadium.
    The proposed deal would lead to one of football’s most famous stadiums, which opened in 1899, being renamed the Sports Direct Arena to promote Ashley’s sports retail empire.

    Rangers have been exploring image rights deals since the Charles Green-led consortium took over the troubled club last June, shortly before they were demoted to the Third Division.

    i actually don't see what the fuss is about naming a stadium. fans are not going to call it whatever the new name is and you get a few quid in the bank.

    I heard it was going to be called the Tampax arena because we've just been through a bad period. :bandit:

    I agree. The marketing boys can call it whatever the **** they want if they stump up the dosh. It will still be Ibrox.

    dont really see the problem either.

    Its all about the Queens Heads these days. In South America, theres barely a sponsor free part of the jersey. Load as many on as possible I say.

    It's only a name on a sign or mentioned as the results go in. It's free money really.

    Another of Chuck's lies. There was s story a couple of weeks ago when he said that Rangers and the Cowboys were in talks to form a joint venture, he also asked the press to leave the Cowboys alone and needless to say someone in the press did his job and asked the Cowboys.

    Basically they ridiculed the tale and said they had never even been in contact and knew hee haw about it.

    Yeah, obviously, Dallas aren't wanting to give too much away before they know it is definitely signed!
