Dave King statement

[WCPRANGERS1 2,997]

I am beginning to lose the will, already ££ are having a different slant to a straightforward statement by DK, until that mindset is eradicated we will never have harmony.

What can they possibly say to put another slant in it that isn't positive?

when you say "mindset" you are taking huge leaps of assumption

[North Rd 2,860]

Im NO happy, what we gonna argue about noo??????

Some think it is a coded message to continue to attempt to oust the board.

[Bluepeter9 5,167]

All sounds positive!

[Bad Robot 21,284]

no I mean pauk murray mark dingwall and chris graham

I believe your just speculating and reading too much from the statement.

The calling out I would say is more the Rangers haters rather than the Rangers family members but why have stability when we can keep the infighting going....

[gary2006 123]

brilliant news,all that talk of raising funds and no time to waste and getting ready to compete in the top league asap is music to my ears.

long live the king.

[BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293]

Aye that must be it fs!!!

If they weren't serious I would be lmao at that.

[trueblue68 2,497]

I am very relieved to say the least. Welcome home Dave.

If DK joins as Chairman then he should have the experience, clout, business know-how, City connections, and hopefully a quality of leadership for a Board to get on and do the job he correctly says it needs to do to propel Rangers back to the very top. If the requisitioners persist with a court case on legal technicalities (which they may not win anyway) they risk creating the impression of looking to continue to force an unnecessary divide among Supporters and Shareholders and continuing with an agenda of destructive spoiling tactics since they have put no tangible constructive plans for the future on the table nor said why they are more competent and better qualified than the current Directors to lead the Club going forward.

Timing the statements for release on a Saturday gives the requisitioners a day to think about withdrawing their court case and to indicating that they would be willing to work with the current Directors and DK as Chairman for the collective good of the Club. That is not to say that there could be additional appointments to the Board - for example as non-exec directors - that would go some way to satisfying their aspirations. Perhaps they could even put in charge of the remuneration committee. Mather and Stockbridge made it clear after the Ibrox town-hall meeting they would have accepted Frank Blin on the Board - maybe that could be revived? Point is, is there still scope for some sort of unifying deal to be done or is it still going to be what to me was shaping up to be an all or nothing scrap at the AGM.

Great statement. In summary King loves the club and wants to make sure we trample the scum.

We need to open our minds to all who wish to contribute.

I am not rich, so contribute with a few season tickets, a few shares and merchandice.

Others, maybe Mini murray etc has a small amount of cash.

Then you get to the Easdales that have a not insignificant sum.

Then the big boys like King.

We give what we can, but we should all be welcome. We need to stop bitching at people who may want to invest for the right reasons.

[five stars 1,627]

Hopefully we can now all support King and our club can move forward. But regardless of who is in control we should remain vigilant.

One thing springs to mind on this, he lives in SA, will he re-locate full time to the UK or is he going to do the job from afar???

[Jonok 1,245]

Delighted to hear this can we now leave the board in Mr Kings very experienced hands.

[SteveJ 743]

This is a great step in the right direction - a direction we have been missing for a long time. Well done to the current board for pulling it off.

[madmacmacmad 12]

Absolutely delighted to hear this. I know some people have misgivings about Dave King, but to me the man is an accomplished businessman (better than the likes of David Murray in my eyes), and an avid supporter. Both these qualities lead me to believe he'll help run Rangers efficiently and with passion.

I've read his 'issues' with relation to tax in SA - and perceive what he did to be tax limitation (like any proper business or individual tries to effect) rather than anything crude. I just hope that the SFA and those in a position of power (namely Liewell) don't have the sway to prevent this.

From a selfish point of view, this guy is loaded and would gladly pump his money in to the club to see success - I know we'd ideally like the club to be run by supporters, but if we want to succeed at the top, there probably isn't the money in the Scottish system to do that....so it would be nice to have a very rich guy at the top who wants to see that too (feel free to read between the lines on that one).

[Helicopter Sundae 6,041]

Good news.

Andrew Johnston managed it. As long as he is in the UK when it matters, I see no reason for him to leave SA

[Bad Robot 21,284]

Maybe when were back in the top flight, SDM will get a guilt complex about Daves 20 million and selling to CW and will give the club the 20 million back.

[BlueAvenger 10,279]

Great news if Dave King returns as Chairman.

We need his experience and wealth to take us back to the top.

No doubt Lawwell and his puppets and the mhedia will try to derail this.

Excellent synopsis RB.
