Sting777 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 In some ways The King is right in saying the current board is one of the worst in the history of the club. Given the club is only 3 years old he probably has a point, still it's a bit rich coming from a convicted tax criminal and a guy that sat on the actual board when the original club was liquidated!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Koop Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Wholeheartedly agree. Start by punishing the fans who stood by through years of bigotry and EBTs and then stood by and funded the shysters. "There was a fever over the land. A fever of disgrace, of indignity, of hunger. We had a football club (or was it a holding company?), yes, but it was torn by elements within. Above all, there was fear. Fear of today, fear of tomorrow, fear of our neighbours, and fear of ourselves." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could of course put himself forward for the "football board" position and get some relative to sit on the main board (and make sure that you are "invited" to the main board meetings). I am sure I have seen this somewhere before to allow convicted tax fraudsters to get round the rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Bloody hell, after years of posting about "spivs" in the boardroom and their shadowy backers , including how we'd have to get rid of them - the p&Bers are now backing them. Claiming that they'll be grand for the club blah blah blah etc...... There must be hundreds of Rangers related subjects to post about, yet we are deluded with this rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What credibility?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It should be in the pipeline .... hoping it was true myself. Craig is the man for a good whoosh .... Its been reported that his part of buying the club is under investigation, so hopefully.... As for the SOS guy, you probably know more about than I do about what he posts\says. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 That Spier's article read more like a fanzine piece than a newspaper article, personally I think king should have held back and kept away from the boardroom for a while. With all that's happened we need to be squeeky clean, no issue with his current level of shares but I think the three bears group would be better in the board room. Maybe Graham should try digging a bit deeper, rather than repeating what we already know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenockRover Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Not sure why he thinks King will win. Corporate investors surely will side with Ashley as he's the only one capable of keeping the club solvent and their share price/investment at least relatively safe without coming back to them for large wads of cash ... Kings plan doesn't make sense for these investors .... it will just become even more of a bottomless pit for their money. Unless they are stupid enough to imagine he's going to pump it in ... You'd think they'd want a guaranteed bond with any proposal submitted by him. Mike Ashley looks to be the safer bet for these guys ... though neither look particularly appealing. Typical Spiers. Throwing out all the possible outcomes and talking most about the one that might court the most contoversy. "Pot Stirring" I believe they call it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No8. Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Bloody hell, after years of posting about "spivs" in the boardroom and their shadowy backers , including how we'd have to get rid of them - the p&Bers are now backing them. Claiming that they'll be grand for the club blah blah blah etc...... There must be hundreds of Rangers related subjects to post about, yet we are deluded with this rubbish. Exactly Bennett. 3 years of 'they are robbing you ya fool'...3 years of 'Can you not see they are only in it for themselves ya mug' Now we have Rangers men who are willing to help get the club back on its feet by using their own personal wealth , that is not in question , and by allowing the support to buy into the club through a share issue in a company led by people we can all trust. You can actually feel the outright hatred aimed at Dave King. The very fact he is so hated on here only reinforces my opinion he would be a huge success at Ibrox.

AberdeenBud Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You can actually feel the outright hatred aimed at Dave King. Hatred. Most people have been laughing at his clown running across a minefield performance imo. Although he does deserve the scorn of every reasonable person given what a disgusting human being he undoubtedly is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of a bankie Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 What is the issue with mortgaging the stadium? It is still Ibrox home of the Rangers. You just need to pay the money you borrow and then own it again. It has no value to anyone other than rangers as it is a football stadium. Please note I am not ripping the pish. Celtic did the same thing with wee Fergus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You are having a nightmare here. All those i want punished were involved with RANGERS and that is why i blame RANGERS for being excatly where we are right now and not trying to look to blame others You blame Rangers, yet throughout it all you fed Rangers your money. You wouldn't keep giving a woman money of she treated you as badly as this business has treated you, yet you persist? You sir are the living definition of a mug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You can't have a tax criminal as your chairman. If King has any earnest desire to help theRangers, he'd recognise that he was toxic, step back and give his ill-gotten gains to the three bears. What's stopping him you say? Another case of theRangersitis. Symptoms: Arrogance, conceit, mis-placed pride and a total disregard for the rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accietilleyedye Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 They're gonna use their off the radar wealth to let the fans buy shares and then use the fans money to get the club back on it's feet are you sure this is right? In the meantime in the real world the clumpanys continues to struggle to save up enough cash for things like gardening leave for diddies sorry real rangers men or is it leg ends who don't do walking away, don't you get it your Rangers men are just wanting to suckle at the teet of the cashcow that they have missed out on, one even suck 20 million into it and was crying about getting it back from the most Rangers of Rangers menof the last 25 years Dave King to sue Sir David Murray for £20m | Herald Scotland , what length do you think a convited criminal would go to to get his money back ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
