Miami investor still keen to buy stake in Rangers

[forlanssister 3,114]

I note it being reported elsewhere that our erstwhile Chairman threatened to put us into adminstration unless his loan was repaid, the one with tge 8% coupon iirc.

 

I'm sure he had the clubs best interests at heart though.

So should supports groups ( one in particular) be buying his shares?

They should be investing directly in Rangers surely?

That is obviously up to the members but your quesion could lead us to what IMO is the real issue.

 

DK has from way back looked to influence and essentially capture C1872 for his own purposes.

 

However, like several things in the past, he has come up short or lost the investment, eg. Rangers v SDI, lost 20M Rangers/Sir Duped. Further back Dave King v SA Tax Authorities. 

 

Now he wants to sell his shares. He had the C1872 executive primed to push it forward and it has predictably bombed. 

 

Once money goes into the club, it is very difficult to recuperate all of it, never mind make a profit. That goes for anyone, including previously successful businessman. There is no sign that will change and that is why you have to ask where do asset strippers plan on making money with Rangers.

 

What next for DK ? 

 

I don't know if the story is true, about threatening Rangers with pushing them toward administration if we didn't pay him back his loan. The problem being I don't trust Mark Dingwall, who I know will always be prepared to bend truth for others (sometimes for the greater good), nor do I trust Dave King that he wouldn't make what would probably have been an empty threat.

 

Is he somehow involved with this apparent interest from Kyle Fox and the company she represents ? If Paul Murray is/was, then very possibly but really, I don't know.

 

The current board are certainly reaching a difficult juncture.

One that shows just how difficult it is to make a a club accustomed to run at a loss into a sustainable business and keep everyone happy.

Correct.Was Lawrence Marlborough our wealthiest ever owner? Even he had to turn off the tap after a few years.
