Considering Rangers' current financial plight, it's unsurprising that they have chosen to go with Ashley. Ignoring for a minute any suggestions that he is there to make more money (he is, and I doubt he'd argue with the fact), he is far from a push-over. Thanks to terrible financial mismanagement - even since the formation of the Newco - Rangers are in dire straits, with creditors knocking down the door for debts that mount every month thanks to over-blown operating costs. Within that context, the idea of any "saviour" coming in and concentrating only on restoring Rangers to the Premier League by throwing money at everything would be a bad idea, as discussed, but what Rangers have done in allowing Ashley in, is to stop any of those emotionally-led consortiums from getting any chance of returning to the table. He has all the cards, and they are in better hands than if they'd gone to a consortium seeking only to improve the team's standing. Like it or not, Ashley is the better devil that you know a little about.
