I get it he has a business to run and doesn't want to be in the limelight. As much as a figure like King has his faults our club needs a figurehead like him. Willing to stand up and be counted, a public 'face' of the club. We don't have that right now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to get it out of the way anyway and not having management time focusing on something time-consuming that's overseas. Most of them were driven by King, were they not? His ego had a lot to answer for. Yes, the US angle is simply a known unknown for us punters. Any agreement(s) will probably have an NDA attached, so the mystery may stay that way. Regards Dave King, there was a couple of false dawn's regards the attempted uncoupling of the SD legacy issue. It looks to me as if he relished the challenge of taking on Ashely / SD and got his (our) fingers burnt. The new contract we signed with Ashley didn't do what we announced it would do. Ultimately, taking on the expensive Ashely legal juggernaut wasn't wise. Even when we had a good morning in court (Justice Smith/London), King bigged it up with journalists at the lunchtime and the first thing Justice Smith said in the afternoon session was that King had been too hasty. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first statement (league getting called early) that came out on a Saturday made claims that were difficult to fully justify (perception) and hence easier for SPFL executive to bat away. Too much too soon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley gets away with far more than locking entities into unfavourable deals. He was hauled in front of a parliament committee about his horrendous employee treatment and basically laughed his way out of it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ongoing feud on the cinch deal and allegedly looking for an apology does seem childish though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a new agreement that was signed up to by the then board, with King at the head. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutton_blows_goats 5,335 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 She says 'I want to buy' but with someone else's money and likely someone else agenda. This type of method could allow anyone faceless to buy into the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
