Dons_1988 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Dave King statement. Arrogant p***k..... "It is disappointing that a debate has re-emerged around the subject of Rangers history in Scottish football. It must be especially frustrating for the Clubs supporters who again find individuals within the structures of Scottish football unfairly targeting the Club. As the one individual who was a major shareholder and director throughout the period that gave rise to the HMRC dispute, and again find myself in a similar capacity, I believe that I am uniquely positioned to make three important observations. First, irrespective of the final outcome of the tax appeal (which might take several more years) the football team had no advantage from any tax savings from the scheme put in place by the Murray Group. Throughout the period in question the shareholders were committed to providing funding to the Club. The tax scheme may have reduced the need for shareholders to provide higher levels of funding so, as I have tried to make clear in the past, any advantage gained would have been to the company and its shareholders, not the team. *Certain players may not have signed for the Club without the perceived benefit of personal tax savings but there was no general advantage for the player squad, or the performance on the pitch.* We would still have signed players of equal abilities if one or two had decided they didnt want to sign under different financial circumstances. Secondly, Lord Nimmo Smith has fully and finally dealt with the legitimacy of the continuity of the Clubs history. There is no more to be debated on that issue. Finally, it is extraordinary that representatives of other Scottish clubs who admit the damage done to Scottish football by Rangers removal from the Premier League should even wish to re-engage with this issue. It is time those individuals, who represent other clubs, recognise their legal and fiduciary responsibilities to their own clubs and shareholders rather than submit to the uninformed ramblings of a few outspoken fans to whom attacking Rangers is more important than the wellbeing of their own clubs. This is a misguided attempt (that will ultimately fail) to rewrite history and defeat Rangers off the park when their teams could not do so on the park at the time. The history of many other clubs would have to be rewritten if this illogical argument was to be consistently applied. Having reviewed documentation that has become available to me I believe that Rangers was harshly and, in some instances, unfairly treated in the period leading up to demotion from the Premier League. However, that is now history and I have publicly stated, with the full support of the recently installed board, that we wish to put the past behind us and move on in partnership with all clubs throughout Scotland to improve and restore the image and quality of Scottish football as a whole. This will be to the benefit of all clubs. For the avoidance of doubt, however, I wish to make one point clear. If the history of our Club comes under attack we will deal with it in the strongest manner possible and will hold to account those persons who have acted against their fiduciary responsibilities to their own clubs and to Scottish football."

squidger Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Will nobody think of those poor poor Spartans.... TBH i suspect if sevco reach the top league they will boycott away games anyway out of bitterness of being treated so unfairly, so i'd take a a spartans away crowd and the team might put up a better fight than your lot did 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's right, he's fcuking right. The thing is, if it was Celtic (for example) that were in this situation instead of your club, you'd be frothing at the mouth and demanding justice. Try and see it from a neutral point of view and I'm sure you'll understand why there is hostility there. If you can't understand that, then there is no point in debating it with you as you're too blinkered. I get fans sticking up for their team regardless, but there seems to be a complete lack of humility from Rangers /Sevco (or whatever you want to call them) fans. They genuinely seem to feel hard done to and can't appreciate why other fans might be annoyed by the things that's led to this situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the odd bit of point scoring/banter I'm not that interested in them and to actively campaign against another club is something which would never enter my mind. The humility buzzword gets thrown around a lot, usually when people can't think of any sane reason to give. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Dave King attempting to lecture others on 'fiduciary responsibilities'. I fear the rising of sea levels due to Shull's trousers being wrung out may be responsible for the end of my adopted home city rather than global warming. f**k.
