Can we be sure it was King? In any case, there's a object lesson here in the dangers of dilution for anyone who can't keep up with the pack, one which Club1872 will be equally focussed on .... are they still on the go these days? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the %s involved, we can be fairly sure it's King. I'd doubt that dilution is the main reason for it, and more that it increases his chances of getting cash for his shares. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very much is. Designed to make his shares more desirable no doubt. Very poor indeed and will go a long way to ruining the good he has done but say one thing of Dave King. Dave King doesn't care what others think of him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The present wheelchair allocation is a disgrace. Agreed, but the board made similar noises 2 years ago, and there's been no progress, but other (vanity) projects such as Edmiston House have got off the ground.

Bill 13,717 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I hope a sense of negativity doesn't develop towards Dave King. Whatever he does to protect his personal interests, which he is entitled to pursue, his role in the club's recovery is clearly established and the least we owe him for that is respect. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone, anyone? Yes but to be fair the board has hardly been sitting on its arse doing nothing. The task facing them is enormous and resources very limited. I'm not known for sympathy towards directors but they're not superheroes, just businessmen doing their best to move the club forward. It's easy to rearrange priorities in retrospect. but I see enough to suggest the overall direction is positive and hopefully most things will be addressed in time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feeling of negativity has already been developed, from his misleading (at best) comments in trying to encourage fans to invest in the C1872 share issue rather than allowing their funds to go to the club, to charging interest on his loan (I'm not convinced he had to do that), to him now trying to limit the club's ability to raise further funds. That doesn't take away everything that he's done for the club, for which we will always be grateful, and yes, he's now entitled to pursue his personal interests but when they are against the best interest of the club then we are, in turn, entitled to criticise him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
