Dave King defies Takeover Panel order to issue £11m buyout offer

It's in his blog.

 

Got a link to exactly where?

Which of course doesn't make them correct.

 

Just because the majority (which is NOT the case at present) believe that King is bad doesn't mean that they are right. Your history of anti-King bias effectively has people doubting you and your credentials to comment. The fact you also supported Llambias and Leach places further doubt on your ability to assess situations.

 

I'm not casting those aspersions BH but am merely stating facts.

 

The fact that many on RM agree with you is nigh on irrelevant. Why you may ask ? Because they were predominantly anti-King even before he took power. So they were biased against him before he had the chance to prove them right OR wrong.

 

There aren't as many as you think on here coming to that conclusion. The majority on here, I would contend, thank asking for ridding us of the previous charlatans - but are, rightly, trying to hold him accountable for his failings. Doesn't mean they want him out.... yet.

 

Craig, I spent an hour or more typing a response to this earlier this evening then lost most of it when the system timed out and only saved a few lines. At the moment I will say only that I don't believe that my past criticism of Mr King was unfair and I don't accept that means that my assessments of the current situations are invalid.

 

I'll come back to this tomorrow night. There's no need for you, FS or anyone else to say any more until I reply.

Since when was it up to you to decide whether anyone posts something or not?

I've read a lot on the forums suggesting that many people (or even the majority) are against DK. I just don't know where that comes from. I realise there are a number of people who have strong feelings against him and hence find it useful to express their anti DK opinions on the forums. However, speaking as someone who is a straight forward supporter without the baggage of knowing what others appear to, I'm still supportive of what he's doing so far. All of my family and friends are too, so what is it that others know that we don't?

 

This case involving the Takeover panel is a nonsense and is a waste of public money as far I'm concerned. It makes no sense, albeit I understand the need for protection laws in relation to takeovers. The Takeover Panel has had opportunities in the past to take action and they haven't? This case makes no sense to 'prosecute' and I'm disgusted that public funds are being used for this purpose. Why is there such support from some quarters for such a ridiculous stance against our chairman? There are too many people who just roll over for instances like these and I, for one, am glad he's taking a stand against it. I do however wish we'd take a stand against many of the other injustices to hit our club, but we're in enough battles at the moment I suppose. As far as I'm concerned this is a private matter for him to deal with as he sees fit, and doesn't impact the club, other than his association with us.

 

I'd be happy for someone to point out other wrongs he may have perpetrated but this doesn't appear to me to be one at all. Am I missing something? What's the big deal here and why are so many fans interested in it? I listened to his interview a couple of weeks back and he once again came across as a sensible guy who is trying to save his club. Until such times as I believe his motives have changed, or until someone can give me good reason why someone else would be better off in the chairman role, he will continue to have my support.

 

He's delivered against all the things he said he would as far as I know and those actions are worthy of some respect. I'm much more suspicious of those people that seem to have such animosity towards the only person willing and able to save my club.

 

I don't know DK, and he may well turn out to be untrustworthy, and a charlatan as other have suggested. Our scrutiny of his and the board's actions will continue to be intense, as they should be, but let's not be so hasty in casting aspersions when it's unreasonable.

 

Happy to be challenged or enlightened on this. Until then I'm just going to get back to enjoying the football.

 

Gaffer, I have enjoyed reading some of your recent posts on here especially your comments about the team; but IMO if you don't see the damage that Mr King is doing to the reputation of the Club by defying the TOP then you have seriously underestimated the situation and the potential consequences if he continues down the same route when the High Court rule against him, as must be the inevitable outcome. It's not the TOP that is responsible for any waste of public money, it's Mr King who is responsible because he is defying Company Law.

 

Some of FS and BD's earlier comments on this are well worth reading; I'll try to add some of my own tomorrow night.

I said there is no need i.e. I made a request to be given time to reply, because IMO further comment about my position would be premature until I responded to Craig's points which I fully understand but with which I don't agree; but I know well that you are no respecter of anyone else's opinion.

 

As you found out last night it's most certainly NOT up to me what is posted on here; there are Admins and Mods for that.

I don't have a problem with anybody's opinion unlike yourself I've never ever felt the compulsion to go reporting anybody to anyone for a post made here or on anywhere else for that matter.

Again, gentle warning to play nice gents.

Frankie has asked for us not to post links to it, although the name of it is earlier in the thread.

 

It says:

First up I’d like to take this opportunity to clear up some confusion. I was threatened by a guy called Franky around 10 months ago. Franky told me he’d posted my home address & business details all over the internet in order that certain people could find me. These threats were made by a guy called Franky*an RST Member and not Frankie from Gersnet. I have no issue with Gersnet whatsoever. When RST Franky*was challenged about this he deleted tweets and blocked me on twitter. Threats don’t work. I apologise to Gersnet and Frankie for any confusion arising from this.

You did indeed post a link to his blog previously: http://www.gersnetonline.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?84336-INTERVIEW-Dave-King-March-2017&p=675170&viewfull=1#post675170

 

However, despite outlining the blogger's previous strange behaviour and lies in the same thread, obviously I wasn't clear enough on you linking to his content.

 

Please do not post links to his work again. I hope that is clear enough for you.

 

Apologies hard to remember at times,the guy has issued an apology to you regarding some sort of name mix-up.

Thanks BH, and I may have misunderstood the consequences. I've read many so called damning articles on what DK is doing but none of them seem that material or relevant to me so if there's anything you can tell me I'd appreciate it.
