Bluedell 5,627 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I couldn't care less how KIng saved us from Ashleymaking out like it's a big thing..........duh! I believe it is a bit of an issue. King's approach with the Takeover Panel lacks credibility. We are meant to be moving away from the corporate dealings of the past into a period of openness, and yet we are meant to believe that King has no influence over how "his" shares vote in any General meeting. The guy who did the blog obviously doesn't like King and isn't being objective but some of the points that he raises should be valid concerns for all fans. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 King should just offer the rest of the shareholders the 20p per share that he was asked to, if he is as confident as his recent interviews suggest that it is highly unlikely that he will get 50%+ to take up the offer 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleam 5,948 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Thanks. The wording is strange. Why would the Takeover Panel Hearing Committee use "apparently" about the Takeover Panel Executive's actions. Why would they not be able to say definitively what they did and who they spoke to? I imagine that any discussion between the Panel and "supporters' groups", not all of whom would have been shareholders, could only have been in the most general terms, and perhaps unrecorded. What is clear, however, is that King's attempt to contextualise matters, and play a "public interest" card, did not work. King seems to be the de facto decision maker of and for NOAL, and arguments about a de iure position failed to persuade the Panel, and the subsequent Appeals Panel. It is unfortunate that King, presumably, will now have to make, and pay for, a formal offer of 20p/share for stock which is currently at about 34p/share. or thereby. It does seem to be a waste of money, presumably what the fat turd, whatshisname, as useful as tits on a bull, former "Chairman", you know who I mean, intended in the first place when he made a complaint. The blogger, whoever he is, loses any and all credibility when he promotes Mike Ashley as someone with whom King, et alia, should have done business. As I have said before, Ashley is a bastard, and anyone who supports his involvement in Rangers is a bastard, too.

You just ostracized certain factions It defies belief to me that we still have some of our fans who believe that Ashley is good for us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be best if those factions were banished to the Black Sea coast for ten years or so. The blogger, to whose thoughts we are directed, is in thrall to Ashley's status as a "bona fide billionaire". He could be Lord Peter Mandelson.

Does the status quo prevail? Edited March 28, 2017 by Uilleam 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
