DETTY29 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) King won't invest now. He lost ?20m first time round and anything he invests this time will be lost too. The cost base is far too high and the Rangers fans are still a long way off accepting the consequences of a break even finance model. As with the Easdales it is only worth him coming in is if he gets into bed with the spivs and there are potentially assets to hive future income from. And an edit If the SFA stick to their rules he certainly can't be involved with the football club. And I wouldn't be surprise despite all the pro spin, that both the UK and SA financial authorities still have beady eye on him.

And Sally has shown his true colours - not blue. It's all in the green He has had a shocker in all this, being a blue-nose through & through he felt it was better to fight from within. However, the super salary and shares have snared him much to the delight of the spivs, it got the fans to buy shares and ST's. He as shown to be inept in management ability that he has frittered away a good amount of the invested cash. Super Salary - a great name, love it.

True colours from Fat Sally, nose in the trough trousering as much as he can carry. Offered to take a pay cut, but that was in October so three months later and over ?100K over spent, not to mention his "investment" in the club. And when he us questioned about his position, poor management embezzlement by the spivs, (which includes him!), he comes out with competing with Celtic, lapped up by the knuckledraggers.... we've thrown away millions, but we can't let Celtic get 10 in a row.

Ally sure is doing his level best to distance himself from the Ibrox night of the long knives. McCoist has plenty previous with this sort of thing. Cast your mind back to March 2012... 'McCoist will not deliver the bad news personally to any players who will be made redundant, but he has promised to be waiting outside the room to offer his support to those who are axed. Speaking after Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Ibrox, McCoist said: 'It's not my job, I'm not making anybody redundant, I'm not telling anybody they have lost their job. 'I won't be [in with the players] but I will be waiting outside if and when it happens. My job is to support and be there, which I will be.' McCoist, who refused to confirm whether he had offered to work for free until the end of the season, paid tribute to the entire workforce at the club. He added: 'Morale and an inner strength to keep going and be there for each other, to me, is really evident and very strong. That will help us get through it.' http://www.dailymail...st-coffers.html Deflection and denial Ally, eh?

They are still hoping that a great sugar daddy (i.e. King) will come in, fund there splurge in the transfer market and things will be back to what they were before. But they have not learnt lessons, there is no one out there who is going throw so much money away on Rangers and Scottish football. The ones who are going to take over are those out to make money from them, hence why they got spivs. Rangers need to look in a way to Celtic, they have built their finances without the need of a sugar daddy (though they have a wealthy backer who there if needed) but if they were to go for fan ownership they still would have the finances to compete with Celtic (admittedly it will take years to get to that level) and they are able to protect the club from undesirable owners.

That's a bitter pill to swallow for some of them. As much as they are to be commended for their loyalty just now, they aren't on the end of regular beatings from Celtic. When that happens I think their support will shrink and by quite a margin. Not all of them will be able to handle Celtic being out of sight for a generation. For the rest of us if Rangers continue they have been badly wounded from all of this. They have been brought down a few pegs and will be there for the taking week in week out unless they receive heavy investment and that's unlikely. They have natural advantages sure but really they are one of us diddies now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King's been burned to the extent of ?20m already. Considering he certainly can't get anywhere near the Football Board if the SFA sticks to it's rules, and there is no guarantee the FCA will let him near the plc board, I'm sure you can pretty much discard him unless he is going to just give the money away for others to look after. No doubt however, every 6 - 12 months he will be in the press, but nothing comes of it. Re Minty, Llyods took a 25% share in in his business interest. Therefore unless that has changed, then he will need Lloyds permission to re-invest in Rangers. Now think about that for a moment. Maybe he could invest personal wealth, but he doesn't make the higher echelons of the money lists anymore. Indeed, as it transpired last time, not only was it borrowed money he invested, he got it all back again in a tax free loan that is currently under appeal from HMRC as tax evasion rather than avoidance/good tax management.

I cant believe that King would buy into Rangers without having a say in the day to day running of the club, i.e. being on the board of directors, otherwise it is just handing over his money and hoping it is spent well (though at AGM he would have a say with the percentage he owns.) He cant be on the board so why would he trust the current spivs and jokers to use it wisely. But as long as Dave King is lurking in the background, fans will cling to him being the savour to get them back to the free spending days. Rangers fans need to let go of him as you cant count on whether he will be there or not, in the meantime their club is at risk and being taken apart piece by piece.

DETTY29 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I cant believe that King would buy into Rangers without having a say in the day to day running of the club, i.e. being on the board of directors, otherwise it is just handing over his money and hoping it is spent well (though at AGM he would have a say with the percentage he owns.) He cant be on the board so why would he trust the current spivs and jokers to use it wisely. But as long as Dave King is lurking in the background, fans will cling to him being the savour to get them back to the free spending days. Rangers fans need to let go of him as you cant count on whether he will be there or not, in the meantime their club is at risk and being taken apart piece by piece. Thing is they would rather listen to like of King (the journalist), Jackson and Young who always try to paint as rosy a picture as possible of the club, but despise Speirs and English who they believe are anti Rangers agenda driven, when these are the guys that are warning them. Surely they have now figured out that it isn't just spivs that have their snouts in the trough in one way or another. That accusation can now be thrown at the football management, the players and huge swaythes, if not most, of the red top journalists.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Sportsoud Extra yesterday had all the old Hun hacks moaning about a lack of competition in the league... Yeah, a two horse race is infinitely more enjoyable for the other ten teams, than a one horse race, right enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
