Did Dave King honestly say there would be a “forensic investigation” before newco, under his control, would repay Mike Ashley’s £10m loan? This, before the second tranche of the loan, which the club will need to meet payroll, is paid, and while Ashley could acquire an array of property and IP assets by simply not transferring the money when expected.
Unnecessarily provoking the source of short-term finance your club is dependent on is a bizarre tactic.
If it is indeed “the end” for the current newco board, as King promises, said board have a matter of weeks to secure whatever assets they can for those who have previously invested in the club and provided loans.
The crux of King’s comments are reported as:
“Would we pay [Ashley] immediately, I don’t think so no. We would complete a forensic investigation.
“If David Somers’ indication is correct that there has been some malfeasance then it is possible that the club would have a claim then I would attach the money and make a claim.
“If any individuals behaved improperly then it is important that they are held accountable.”
There’s a scene in Pulp Fiction when an unfortunate predator, “Z”, is informed that some African Americans are about to “Get medieval on his ass”. We don’t get to see what this means but stay tuned, between now and the EGM, Mike Ashley might just provide a demonstration of what Tarantino had in mind.
Remember, Ashley is not at Ibrox because he fancies being the next David Murray. He is not interested in the godforsaken world of having to run a football club in Glasgow, he’s happy to allow others to carry this burden.
He may well allow King to ‘win’ the EGM, but the spoils of victory will be very much on his terms. Trying hard not to imagine Paul Murray in a leather mask now.
Today is World Cancer Day. This disease has taken too many from the blog already, not to mention millions across the globe. There is a lot of good news, though. Progress is being made, but many in the developing world need access to simple preventative treatments, methodologies and information.
The preventative message still needs to get through to a great many in the developing world, before it’s too late. Here’s a video outlining where the battle is at the moment:

CHEAT upset they got caught
CHEAT upset if it cant cheat

ZOMBIE!!!!!
Geordie
Didn’t say Lenny was perfect
We were in the CL last season….we failed to get their twice this season
On any view that can’t be an improvement
We are lucky to still be in the EL …our performances for the most part have been extremely poor …and against poor outfits like Astra and Zagreb
Gordy

I saw a quote from Neil the other week saying he didn’t try to get Gudjohnsen for us as he was too expensive . Tried loads of times for Heskey but he wouldn’t come.
TBJ
Oh drat it escaped my mind to offer my CQN credentials as a way oot of the predicament :-)
Dortmund lose at home again ….
Anyone think Sevco are just keeping KMcD in place until Jurgen Klopp gets fired at Dortmund, so he can take over at Ibrokes?
JNP
CHEAT upset at called Zombie.
Hehe
You see it work ;-)
I’m no sure what else to call knuckle dragging animals.
The easily offended are out. In force tonight eh.
They told us hun was sectarian and now we have supposedly intelligent tims won’t use it, ffs they tell us the famines over and we should go home is banter and there’s Celtic supporters telling us they agree with them on what’s offensive and what’s not. I really can’t get my head round this.
Delaneys,
superb,hope we can pick up another,
I was willing to travel without one but Petec
wisnae having it,
I have asked a couple of bhoys I know that help run
some of the buses to give me a shout if any come up
Favourite Uncle
I heard the father say they had given the bottle to the polis. But, in all honesty, a bottle on a supporters bus, I mean it is so far fetched that the only way there’d be one there is if a bad person flung one in through the open door. :o)
“Er ‘scuse me officer, this is THE very boatil what was flung through the open door.”
I even read that the polis were going to examine for forensic evidence. Nonsense really, since it could be any bottle off the street, even one discarded by an innocent person. All smoke and mirrors.

I should be able to get another one mate.

No Klopp but wee Felix as he bought shares in them I think.
He will use them for his litter tray
Can NFL’s 10 man bolton hang on to their lead? I think yes. And I think BR is going to get his jotters afterwards…
Come on summer…………….

Watching the game. Trying to stay awake.
HH!!
Rwe…so ..
What do you think happened…just take a guess…
Pfayr,
I know you aren’t. And I’m not saying Rd is either.
All I’m saying is we weren’t bossing Europe every year Lenny was in charge and with a bit of luck we won’t be missing out every year under Rd either.
Is the young fella Clough for Bolton anythin to ‘Ol big ‘ead?
Shud have been 2-0 Bolton

I actually think we have to be careful with the whole dehumanising them thing but I have to admit this made me think twice.
blantyretim
surely with the money they are getting from MA (and which they evidently wont have to pay back because King says there may have been some monkey business going on) they will have enough to install the dream team of FM as director of football and JK as first team coach …
Gordy
Pete was on the phone asking where to pick you up?
BGX
Perry Mason on a Sunday night. Della Street and the blond haired detective that Perry used.
I liked Barry Newman in Vanishing Point – before he lived in a trailer. :o)

Gordy
And as if by magic……
Got 4 now mate.
We can start calling them…..crisp pokes….for example and they would quickly find some racist/ sectarian line of thinking behind it.
Mike
How could I miss the dream team
Delaneys,
I will come down to wherever he is getting you,
remember I am stepping into the dark since
I aint sure who you are :-))
