Is it not the case that those willing to sell at 20p would be liable to be the money launderers, the 1p share people etc. ? By locking these people out the board have greatly reduced those who will sell.

From The Rangers Observer Good to see that the hotline from stand up guy and top businessman Sandy Easdale to Pacific Quay, via Jack Irvine, is still in operation. Having been used so often to spread PR for the Easdales, Blue Pitch etc, you’d think McLaughlin might have learned his lesson.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46403987 Rangers chairman Dave King says some shareholders have links to organised crime 19 minutes ago From the sectionRangers Sharethis page Rangers chairman Dave King was initially ordered to make an offer of 20p a share to other shareholders Rangers chairman Dave King has told a court he suspects some shareholders in the club have links to organised crime. At the Court of Session of Edinburgh, King said he is now "100% committed" to making an offer for the remainder of the club's shareholding. He was ordered to do so after being found to have worked with others when taking control of the club in 2015. But King said he could not make an offer to four shareholders because of their links to criminal activity. He said that a Rangers board meeting last Monday concluded that the four could not transfer their stakes, adding of one that the were "engaged in criminal activities in the USA". King has been in dispute with the Takeover Panel, who applied to have the South African businessman held in contempt of court for refusing to comply. The Ibrox chairman had argued he should be allowed to ring-fence funding for the offer in South Africa but told the court, in front of Lady Wolfe, that after exhausting all options, he will now agree to transfer funds to the UK. The Takeover Panel want financial guarantees of around £19m to be held by a third party. As part of his evidence King also listed key shareholders who, he says, have told him the will not take up the offer. One of the investors mentioned was former chairman of the football board Sandy Easdale. Mr Easdale has since told the BBC he has given no such undertaking.

What did it say ?

That’s what happens when you use the Sun as your evidence.??

Still in it.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46392223 Dave King: Rangers chairman set to give evidence in contempt of court hearing Rangers chairman Dave King was ordered to make an offer of 20p a share to other shareholders Rangers chairman Dave King is expected to give evidence at the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Friday on day two of his contempt of court hearing. The South Africa-based businessman was in court on Thursday to watch evidence from members of the Takeover Panel. The Panel is trying to force Mr King to abide by its code and make an £11m offer to buy out the rest of the club's shareholding. He is required to do so after being found guilty of working in concert with other shareholders to take control of the club in 2015. Before Lady Wolfe, Mr King's QC, Jonathan Mitchell, argued that few shareholders would be likely to take up the share offer of 20p per share as the recent share price has been higher. The Takeover Panel said shareholders have already expressed an interest to buy at 20p but refused to give more details, when asked. Senior judges rejected an appeal by Mr King in February against a court order requiring him to make an £11m offer for the remaining club shares. He missed a legal deadline for making an offer in April, before the Takeover Panel launched contempt proceedings against the 63-year-old in July.
