Monkey Tennis Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 It's so easy to describe King as glib and shameless, that it can be said quite glibly. The reality is though that he truly is an intrinsically dishonest individual. Nothing he says or does can be taken at face value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a fair number of people who don't know when they're being spun to - and that extends much further than the Rangers fans that King is stringing along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Forgive my cluelessness in such matters, but how much do Rangers shares currently cost? King says he doesn't agree with the 20p price. Is that because he thinks it's too expensive? Am I being startlingly thick? The price will be set at what he bought them for. I expect mccoist to jump on this. His 1p shares just revalued at 20p a share 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Given that no one knows what the shares would trade at... would there be a clamour for some smaller share holders to cut their losses if the 20p a share is a large increase in value? Would the rest of the board have to cough up or just dodgy dave? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A panel appeal has decided that a formal takeover should have been triggered after a group led by Mr King secured more than 30 per cent of the voting rights in Rangers. That meant under the code of takeovers and mergers, they should make a cash offer to all other shareholders at the highest price paid in the 12 months before the offer was announced. The group – which includes Park's Motor Group founder Douglas Park, Rangers Supporters Trust and Rangers First member George Taylor and Rangers fan George Letham – has denied that they had acted 'in concert' to purchase shares in Rangers on December 31 2014 and 2 January 2015, at a time when a board said to be allied to Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley was in place. The Takeover Appeal Board (TAB) has said that " the case for concluding that... Mr Letham and Mr King, at least, were acting in concert in purchasing the relevant shares becomes overwhelming". It has now decided that an obligation should be imposed on Mr King to make an offer for all the issued shares in Rangers not owned by him, Mr Letham, Mr Taylor and Mr Park at 20p a share by April 2017. According to JP Jenkins, which operates the platform in which Rangers equity is traded, the share price is at 27.5p. Mr King said an original panel committee had "fundamentally misinterpreted" what had occurred at Rangers and that his motivation was to "work together with supporters groups to restore proper standards of corporate governance of Rangers". But the appeal findings said: "We understand the point made by Mr King about his motivation regarding the supporters of the Rangers football club and the control of Rangers. However, personal motives or reasons for gaining control of a company are not relevant when considering whether parties were acting in concert." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

printer Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The TAB judgement makes for interesting reading. King comes out of it sounding like the dodgy twat he is. Also mentons something about the 'old club' going into administration at one point. [emoji6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also mentons something about the 'old club' going into administration at one point. It's a bit strange, a mixture of for-and-against language. I've cut the stuff about King's investment in old Rangers from the following excerpt, as that is expressed in a rather biddable way. Quote 15. Until 2011 the club ("old Rangers") was majority-owned by the Murray Group... 16. Old Rangers' decline into insolvency and the turmoil that followed were widely publicised. In May 2011, following financial difficulties experienced by the Murray Group, its controlling interest in old Rangers was sold to Mr Craig Whyte. 17. In February 2012, old Rangers entered administration and in July 2012 it entered liquidation. Unequivocal that the club went into liquidation, perhaps because the club-company duality makes no sense within a legal process unless they are viewed as different facets of a single entity. As I've said before, I think that the club in any tangible sense ended, but the fan base continue a large part of the meaning of that defunct club and indeed imbue the new club with that meaning. If continuity means anything beyond a mere convenient fiction, then I think that's what it means. However, the judgement is quite a forensic tale - as you might expect - of repeated lies and obfuscation from King. Exactly the same story that emerged the last time the things that he said were subjected to proper scrutiny in his disastrous criminal trial (c/w "favourable outcome"). The part where King tries to get away with the NOAL argument is particularly interesting in its nonsensical logic and his tenacious peddling of it, as is his attempt to portray the date-setting as flawed in some way despite a clear timeline that shows he was delinquent in not supplying his availability: they actually worked around his holiday dates, then he complained, then he said - after they'd set the 25th - that he could probably get to London for the 24th or 26th. World class chiselling. The problem for DK is that courts are not the Scottish media. They tend to check whether what you're saying is true. That's the bit that catches him every time, because it's never true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I read Kings statement as:"legally I need to offer you 20p for these shares but please god do not accept as I can't afford and would need to kill the club" -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
