Billionaire businessman Mike Ashley is awaiting a civil judges decision on whether he has to pay the legal bills of the Scottish FA and Rangers chairman Dave King. The Sports Direct supremo abandoned a legal action on Thursday in which he wanted to challenge the SFAs decision to class Dave King as a fit and proper person for involvement with the Ibrox side.He decided to drop the action after his legal team received information about Kings finances which the SFA used in their May 2015 deliberations. However, judge Lord Bannatyne is considering legal submissions made by lawyers acting for the SFA and King during proceedings at the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Thursday. They argued that the Newcastle United owner is using the legal system to pursue a vendetta against King. Dave King swept to power at Ibrox in March 2015 Advocate Roddy Dunlop QC for the SFA and Kings counsel, Kenneth McGuire, argue that Ashleys alleged conduct and his decision to drop the proceedings should result in him meeting costs.Mr Dunlop told the court: It is my submission that the petitioner in this case is pursuing a personal vendetta against Mr King and that my clients, the respondents, are simply the collateral damage in pursuit of this vendetta.The case heard in court on Thursday was brought by MASH Holdings Limited, the company which is the ownership mechanism in which Mike Ashley holds his Rangers shares.Ashley believed the SFA should not have allowed King to participate in the day to day running of Rangers because of his tax convictions in South Africa. The businessman admitted to 41 breaches of the South African Income Tax Act and agreed to pay a £43.7m settlement in 2013 following a legal battle there. Rangers lost one-nil away to Livingston to extend their winless run in the Scottish Championship to three games. Ashley originally wanted a Court of Session judge to rule that the SFAs decision was irrational but on Thursday Ashleys lawyer, Craig Sandison QC, told the court that his client had decided to abandon the action.He told the court that the SFA had provided his client with information concerning Kings finances in the last week. The court heard that Scottish footballs governing body had originally refused to disclose the information to Ashley and that it had been its position since June last year.The court also heard that this information was used by the SFA to conclude that Mr King was a fit and proper person. Mr Sandison told the court that in the light of the information, Ashley no longer wished to pursue the judicial review.Mr Sandison also said that if Ashley had been supplied with the information earlier, he would have stopped proceedings at an earlier stage.

He added: He continues to believe that it was an extraordinary decision but he now no longer wishes to pursue the judicial review. If the respondent had disclosed the information at an earlier stage then the petition would not have been raised.Mr Sandison argued that the court should allow Ashley not to pay the expenses incurred by the SFA and by King, saying his client had raised the judicial review because he wanted to act in what he thought was Rangers best interests.However, Mr Dunlop told the court that legal precedents meant that people in Ashleys position of abandoning cases in the Court of Session should pay costs. The advocate said he did not know until early on Wednesday afternoon that Ashley had decided not to proceed with the action.He added: We were told yesterday at mid-day that this was not proceeding. This will not do. MASH have conducted themselves irresponsibly and it should have to pay expenses. Mike Ashley abandoned a legal action in which he wanted to challenge the SFAs decision to pass Dave King as a fit and proper person MASH cannot demonstrate in law that the decision of the SFA is irrational. It seems that MASH are conducting a personal vendetta against Mr King.Mr McGuire also urged the court to order Ashley to pay the full costs of Kings and the SFAs representation. He said Ashley was attacking the personal character of King and that they did not have any evidence to prove that his client was not a fit and proper person.Mr McGuire added that the information disclosed to Ashley was privileged and that his client had agreed to its disclosure.He added: Mr Ashley is conducting a personal vendetta against Mr King. It is an attack on the personal character of Mr King. If successful it would have a tremendous effect on Mr Kings relationships within the world of football and the world of business. Its nothing more than mudslinging. Dave King swept to power at Ibrox in March 2015 In response, Mr Sandison said that his client was not acting maliciously against King and urged Lord Bannatyne to reject the submissions made by Mr Dunlop and Mr McGuire, adding: There is absolutely no evidence or details of a vendetta between the two.Lord Bannatyne will issue his decision on whether Mr Ashley should pay legal costs in a written judgement which will be issued in the near future, saying: I am taking this to avisandum.

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Hi Kerry, In the first period of Mondays Canucks-Kings game, Tom Sestito of Vancouver was assessed a five-minute penalty for fighting, a two-minute penalty for instigating and a 10-minute and game misconduct for repeatedly punching unwilling combatant Jordan Nolan. Im a Canucks fan, but Im disgusted by these one-sided attacks and think it was the right call. Nevertheless, I was surprised that the five-minute penalty was called "fighting," as "fighting" penalties are usually given to both players involved in the fight! How come the one player fighting major isnt called for other one-sided attacks like the infamous Emery on Holtby incident on Nov. 1? In your response to that debacle you rightly emphasized the importance of referees separating the players quickly, but didnt mention they could assess a five-minute fighting penalty to one player only! Ryan McCormick,Vancouver, BC Ryan: As you pointed out, the correct penalties were assessed to Tom Sestito in his one-sided altercation/attack against Jordan Nolan. Since Nolan was an "unwilling combatant," the onus and responsibility was on Sestito to stop punching the LA King or be subjected to Rule 46.2 as the "aggressor" (the aggressor in an altercation shall be the player who continues to throw punches in an attempt to inflict punishment on his opponent who is in a defenseless position or who is an unwilling combatant). Tom Sestitos actions clearly qualified him as the aggressor in this altercation. I scored the punch count six direct hits by Sestito to the head area of Nolan. Jordan Nolan, on the other hand, was undeserving of a penalty on the play because he did nothing in response to being continually punched by Sestito; even to the point of keeping his gloves and stick in his hands. Each player is penalized based on their actions and response during an altercation. The penalties assessed to Tom Sestito became accumulative when Sestito dropped his gloves immediately after an end zone faceoff, travelled the short distance to Jordan Nolan and began unloading punches. Based on the rules, these actions qualified this altercation as a fight and clearly identified Sestito as the instigator (Rule 46.11). In thhe November 1 altercation you reference, Ray Emery left his goal crease and charged the length of the ice to fight with Brayden Holtby.dddddddddddd The Washington goalkeeper reluctantly dropped his gloves and was forced to defend himself when referee Francois St.-Laurent was unable to intervene and restrain Emery from the deliberate attack. The punches that Holtby threw in self-defense were deserving of a five minute fighting major. Brayden Holtby would not have been assessed a five minute fighting major if he had turtled or failed to respond in the same manner as Jordan Nolan did last night in L.A. As you see, Ryan, it is possible for the referee to assess a fighting major to one player only. If that were the case it would be in addition to the appropriate instigator penalties. Aside from the additional minor penalty for leaving his goal crease on November 1, Ray Emery received the same penalties that Tom Sestito was assessed in last nights game; two minutes plus a 10-minute misconduct for instigating; five minutes for fighting; and a game-misconduct as the aggressor. There is no question that Vancouver intended to send the Kings a strong message and push back from their previous meeting of January 4, which sidelined Canucks goalkeeper Roberto Luongo. The fuse was lit! It only took nine seconds before Zack Kassian was penalized for dragging Dustin Brown around with his hockey stick firmly hooked between Browns legs after chatting the Kings captain up prior to the opening faceoff. Tom Sestito only lasted a second on his first shift of the game for speed bagging Jordan Nolan who, by the way, should have been penalized for charging Henrik Sedin. A timely penalty call against Nolan would have been a perfect opportunity for the refs to send a message of their own in an effort to establish some control and to bring the temperature down early. It was a gift handed to the men in stripes that was ultimately rejected! It became a constant uphill battle for them from that point in the game. In the end, it was Dustin Brown that once again did the most damage by scoring the only goal of the game early in the third period for a Kings win. I dont think the expression "time heals all wounds" will apply when these teams meet next on April 5 in Vancouver. All eyes will be focused on that matchup; including the refs as well.
