Merlin/Toxic - Kicking Tyres

[ian1964 10,720]

Dave King’s latest intervention in Rangers’ affairs is as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit.

 

His call for fans to boycott the club in terms of buying season tickets – and his ridiculous idea to drip-feed monies to the club – is a blatant attempt to destabilise Rangers.

 

King’s statement is a smoke and mirrors job for me and the club has had to shoot down in flames a newspaper’s assertion that the South African-based businessman had offered a £1 million loan interest free to Rangers.

 

It could be reasonably argued that if Dave King does intend to invest in Rangers, his latest pronouncements have a good chance of driving the share price down. A cynical ploy it could be argued.

 

I noticed that King mentioned he had lost £20 million at Ibrox previously. As I recently blogged, there is some dispute about this. However, if it is true it is a pretty self-damning example for King to use, given that he was a director in that previous regime which ended in the sale of the club for a shiny pound to a certain Craig Whyte.

 

Hardly the best track record for success – “I lost £20 million of my own dough so let me have another go!”

 

I have nothing personally against Dave King. I previously blogged of his potential to be a unifying figure at Ibrox. Sadly, he has become a divisive figure and is feeding Rangers-haters with every doom and gloom pronouncement he makes.

 

Yes, there is a need for a short-term injection to help the club through a potential shortfall in income. In response up stepped Sandy Easdale with an interest-free loan while non-shareholder King is dreaming up schemes to hold the club to ransom and strangle cash flow.

 

No doubt King’s comments will be met with glee by the fifth column in the Rangers support. I don’t propose – unlike some – to speak for other fans but I find his ideas to be nothing less than a crude concept of extortion which would hold the club in thrall to the whim of fans. In short, yet another attempt at fan power – otherwise known as mob rule.

 

I have no doubt some fellow fans will share my repulsion at this power grab by a man who talks big but doesn’t get put his wallet where his mouth is.

 

As far as I am concerned, King is nothing but a tyre kicker and we will never see the colour of his money.

 

My message to Dave King is simple: Butt out or match Sandy Easdale pound for pound and give Rangers an interest-free loan.

That is one pathetic piece. This is the guy who supports Ahmad, correct? The £50m BPH quote and all that.

Merlin is a detestable human being. Prepared to sell the club down the river for money and a confidence trickster who preys on vulnerable Christians.

"Butt out or match Sandy Easdale pound for pound and give Rangers an interest-free loan."

 

Bahaha. Who buys this pish, seriously?

Merlin calls the anti-Spivs Bears Rebels and blazer chasers, bit rich from a guy with no irony, who sold his soul to Mhedia House for thirty pieces of silver.

Fan power equals mob rule? Really Bill?

What a puerile piece of writing that is.

Is this numpty a Tim then?

He's certainly no Bear, and he's certainly no mastermind.

Why do we even bother giving him space?

Gave in, read it, wished I hadn't.
