Rue the day Dave King decides he has had enough of Ibrox

423

Few will be surprised that the Takeover Appeal Board (TAB) ruled Dave King acted in concert with George Taylor Douglas Park and George Letham when buying a controlling interest in Newco Rangers two years ago, another “favourable settlement”, you could say.

In their statement, TAB wrote, “Over the last two years Mr King has had ample opportunity to disclose documents and to provide other evidence to rebut any deeming, presumption or inference from the evidence that he was acting in concert with Messrs Letham, Taylor and Park. He has not done so.”

So far, so clear-cut, but while this is an unwelcome distraction (or more) to Dave, King, I genuinely hope he has the wherewithal to fund any necessary share purchase. It is difficult to overestimate the extent to which King’s position inhibits Newco.

The club will go nowhere while it remains in his clutches. It is far from clear who would pick up the years of potential liabilities should he exit (forget Sugar Daddy fantasies), but better the devil we know – when we know so much about him.

We have the perfect controller of Newco. He leads through PR dictate, appeals to the lowest common denominator, sat as a director through Oldco’s ignominious demise, and appears to have enough funding capacity to get them as high as third in the league.

I will rue the day Dave King decides he has had enough of Ibrox.

Many thanks to all who contributed to the Lisbon canvass raffle for Alzheimer Scotland. The competition is now closed and we raised an incredible £3264. The winner has been in touch, so if you don’t know already, unfortunately, it’s not you.

This has been another small excerpt in the Great Celtic Story. Well done.

    Some sad people on here. Watching a live stream of the supreme court deliberations. Old men in wigs and gowns waffling away in Latin, hardly a spectator sport.

     

     

    *****

     

    Slightly less interesting than watching small men whipping poor dumb animals, running around a grassy field, littered with random bits of hedges. : > )

  2. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    Which side does the learned prat currently holding court (see what I did there?) represent?

     

    I’ve been watching this for about an hour and still can’t work it out.

    The girl behind the glaicket looking old git, the girl wearing the glasses doesn’t seem to be wearing a bra.

     

     

     

     

    Ironic that shes wearing Blue…………..

    Wait a minute. Things are looking up. Kenny millers wife has Lord Hodge in a headlock.

     

     

    Oh that looks nasty.

     

     

    Nothing nasty about suntanned Kennys missus.Very fragrant.

  6. Le Petit Merde telling us that the Huns should look to China for investment.

     

    A bit ironic from a guy that has no Chinas left in his sad life.
