AberdeenBud Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Leggo's back! Make of this what you will: David Leggat – giving it to you straight Monday, 14 October 2013 JACK IRVINE SET TO BE AT CENTRE OF NEW DAVE KING STORM THE man almost every Rangers fan loves to hate, highly paid spin doctor, Jack Irvine, could find himself at the centre of a new storm over an alleged email which appears to have claimed that for a payment to an agent, confidential tax information about Dave King could be bought from the South African authorities. The alleged bombshell statement from Jack Irvine comes in an email, which if it is authentic, – and it comes from the same source which included the email which contained the Irvine slur on John Greig – suggests that for a payment someone in the South African Revenue Service could provide their secret files on King . There is no evidence to suggest that anything ever came of this, likewise, there is no evidence it did not. In the email Jack Irvine is alleged to have said that there was an opportunity to meet with an agent of the South African Revenue Service and that for a payment, it is alleged Irvine claimed that agent could deliver the secret South African Government files on Dave King. I have a copy of the email which appears to have been sent from Jack Irvine’s Media House email address on June 21st 2011, just after Craig Whyte had conned Sir David Murray into selling Rangers to him for £1 and then paid off Lloyds Bank with cash he illegally raised from Ticketus before he concluded the deal which made him Rangers owner. Whyte was assisted by lawyer Gary Withey, then of London law firm Collyer Bristow. He no longer works there. The email was sent to “Gary and Craig.” In the email, which was allegedly written by Jack Irvine, is the advice that it had to be established whether “Dave King was temporarily or permanently toxic.” The email also adds that “enclosed is a diary item from the Sunday Times of South Africa which is a) good because all the witnesses appear to be dead b) bad – because the case is delayed once again until November.” That was of course November 2011. King is now free to invest in Rangers after having resolved his difficulties with the South African Revenue Service. Irvine, however, still seems hell bent on trying to dish the dirt on King. On Friday, in the wake of the news that King is planning a comeback to become chairman of a new Rangers board and then invest mega millions, Irvine sent an email to a number of newspaper editors which claimed that AIM, on which Rangers are listed on the London Stock Exchange, would not allow King to become a director. This followed false claims on a number of Celtic web sites which said that King would not pass the Scottish Football Association’s fit and proper person test. All of which raises an interesting question. In whose interest is Jack Irvine working? Rangers, who employ him as a consultant and whose executive directors, Craig Mather and Brian Stockbridge, plus non executive director, Bryan Smart, want Dave King back on the board? Or non executive director James Easdale, who along with brother Sandy, also employs Irvine as a spin doctor and who may take a different view of Dave King’s return to the Blue Room? Which poses another more pertinent question. Is Jack Irvine conflicted? No doubt, if he returns in triumph, the extremely wealthy Dave King, a hard man if ever there was one, will sort out the issues surrounding Jack Irvine and Media House once and for all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 They (Newco/Spivs) apparently forgot to check with their NOMAD. It appears they (spivs) are not clued up about the machinations of AIM (they sacked Green and Imran) and it seems the NOMAD (their appointed regulatory advisor) who it seems 'begs to differ' on their view regarding King's suitability. Rumour has it he collapsed on the floor helpless with laughter when he found out what they were proposing ... What's his P&B usename? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 McCoist is lying sleekit c**t. Nuff said. With his dog-whistling, mendacious ways and willingness to ignore History for some weird Peepul-friendly world-view, I'm beginning to wonder which of the Get-Along gang is, in fact, Fat Sally. Bendarroch's Kenny McDowall, obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apache Don Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Anyone seen Tedi after his recent post ... do you think he will be back to delete it? :lol: He's probably busy systematically red-dotting his way through my posting history. I reckon, if I didn't post for a week he'll have caught up to the extent of having red-dotted every one of my posts. Anyway, he has his own BRALT now, it goes under the alias of 'what percentage of Celtic....' You know how he likes his aliases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I've said before that Rangers as a club would rather risk another death than risk losing games on any sort of regular basis. This sets them apart. This is why Sally spent so much of the fans' money. He, and they, could not bear (sic) to imagine a possible rise to the top table with a history peppered by defeats from the likes of Stirling Albion (no offence to SA, quite the opposite, in fact). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
