the gunslinger 3,366 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've seen a few Rangers fans suggest that in recent months, but the idea has absolutely no appeal to me. God knows what those Man U fans were thinking. It's a last resort but we may have little choice. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Not very prophetic is he. Not re King's statement but in the overall scheme of things this vile, wish fulfillment toxic prophecy may not be far wrong - King's not progressed one iota. His statement reads as though he thinks he's been lied to, ignored and will never get to negotiate with the "powers behind the throne". I keep re-reading his statement to see why people find hope in it - I can't, it sounds like he's got nowhere. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The tims are desperate for GreenCo and their placemen to retain control and hive off more Club assets to Ashley instead of allowing Dave King & co to come in. It's not as complicated as that the glaswegian irishman is being fed like McMurdo from the same source It keeps their blogs going with inside information..........that'll be Jack i guess in return for exclusives the pair reward their informer by writing his spin I mean Bill and 3 names.........................across a crowded room...........................when will their hearts be together ......( that's a line from a song....Supremes maybe) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always been the case in truth. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Jim White @JimWhite 2m2 minutes ago Just received this 3-line quote directly from Dave King re #Rangers... Dave King: 'I believe I have made a compelling case for investment and for taking the club forward..' Dave King: 'I cannot see how a board, acting in good faith, can fail to recommend it to shareholders given the current plight of the club..' Dave King: 'Let the shareholders decide.' #Rangers If only we had a board that acted in good faith..................... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think we might get this as far as shareholders. The board are bound to recommend it. The chances of greenco not blocking it must be real slim though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the possible reasons but then it's not as if many Bears will base their take on what he has to say. Different sources ? Source(s) playing him ? etc 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have nailed it in one Zappa. They don't have to worry about share dilution with Ashley, he'll get his pound of flesh in other ways. I almost hope we don't get promoted. It might be the only way of getting rid of these parasites, who will cling on in the hope that they get a better offer once the Club is back in the top flight. That's despite the obvious flaw that they'll have sold off half the assets / income streams just to keep us afloat in the interim. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source(s) playing him ? etc Much like oor Wullie, he plays up to his readership with a mix of nonsense and leaked information while getting a lot of stuff wrong, but once in a while there seems to be a golden nugget of information in there, such as his very early suggestion about Ashley looking for (or maybe even getting) the branding/trademark rights. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley is certainly getting his pound of flesh and looks set to maybe get another pound or two, but I can't agree about hoping we don't get promoted because that would almost certainly compound our financial problems and set us back even further. Parasites or not, we simply must get back into the top flight ASAP. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
