Haha, King still a two faced lying b*****d , yet the brainwashed idiots still back him.

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.

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

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?

RANGERS chairman Dave King is being forced to make an offer to buy remaining club shares worth £11 million after the Takeover Panel ruled he and others acted together to force their way into the Ibrox boardroom.

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.

 

HeraldScotland:

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".

HeraldScotland: Mike Ashley

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."

Can he not just pay it with his 'off the radar wealth'?

No, wait a minute.  Was that the previous con-man or the one before the one before?

Minty Moonbeams ? Sir Charles Vert de Normandie ? Wee Craigy "Jack Ruby" Whyte ? Biffer & Buster Kraydale ? ............:whistle

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]

Nice misleading headline from the herald there. First part makes it sound like he is willingly doing it. No sign of him making an offer at all.

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.

If only the **** had listened to Chris Sutton months ago when he told the Warburton was a fuking dud and the job was too big for him, instead they slated Sutton as a bigot and that Warbs was bringing Barca style fitbaw to Rangers
