simplythebest 11,453 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think its a good statement actually, reads to me that King is satisfied with what the board have said and although they are,not agreeing to his ST plans (as if they were ever going to) he says what we all say, lets see what the 120day review comes up with. A much more conciliatory message from King today and lets see if the UOF and SOS do as he asks and let the board finish the crucial reviewIt'll show some people up if they still can't give Wallace his 120 days when even King is saying to Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviecooper01 826 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 More bluster - but interested where this is published due to this:"the former director - who lost a £20million investment when the club was liquidated in 2012"Are we getting so used to this cr@p that we just glaze over it now?

theiconicman 2,992 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Well there's a shock....you'd have to be incredibly stupid to agree to that.While I agree, King makes a perfectly valid point that fans are advancing a sizeable loan for no security. Normally this would never be an issue but ultimately where we are, it is.The board can't really defend their position on this and will just have to take the flack from fans that the only security they can give is their promise of of fulfilment.

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 So will we now see the UoF cone out with a similar statement with regards the 120 day review........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From day 1 the majority agreed to give Wallace 120 days before forming an opinion and now King is effectively saying the same thing! Had he just dealt directly with the board in private from the get go we could have avoided the mess of the last few weeks!What now for SofS and their supporters?

You buy the season in advance, you get a discount versus individual tickets.It is a straight forward purchase - no loan, no repayment, no terms. You buy, you get in the door. End of story.This loan myth is being peddled by people to muddy the waters further - could not be more wrong if they tried. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If shyte and Murray didn't have to put "security" up for STs why do this board have too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluedoo 2,652 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 This 120 days is getting bigger and bigger everyday, what do people think is going to happen on day 121 or god forbid anything untoward was to happen to Mr Wallace on day 119, IMO good statement for peace until this review reaches conclusion, don't think anyone can say much more other than good sense all round, is the end in sight I hope so Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Got to love the irony of King complaining about a loan, when the board he sat on routinely pre sold tickets to Ticketus.As for the rest it would appear that the so called Spivs seem to be doing a good job.

theiconicman 2,992 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Pedantic loyal.It is not a loan, so the board should be happy if we all just pay the gate then?The fans purchase in advance in the understanding the club will honour that purchase with games. If Laxey are concerned enough to require heavy security as well as a hefty fee, fans should also look for some security which was Dave's point I guess.All we have for giving the board 10 times Laxey is promises from a board no-one is ready to trust Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,777 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Given past events, im happy that some common ground has been found. Concilliatory noises now from board and DK.Request from him to now give the board the time they have asked for as on the whole they have given him the assurances he was looking for. Hope the DK supporters do as he asks.Board also stood strong on the ST issue which is the right thing for the club.A good day. Now onto the fitba to make it a great night.

Muz333 359 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 While not the biggest fan of King lately that was a fair statement. Now if we can just wait to hear the 120 day review and focus on football for now that would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But each to their own and all that.If that's how you feel then just pay game by game, oh that's right that won't let you hold a gun to the clubs head will it.

one55 1,510 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Alright. Can we just focus on the football for now then? We need to progress into the semi finals tonight and we need to win the Ramsden's cup.Let the board do their job for now and once the business review comes out then we can go back all this carry on.Oh wait, that's too much to ask.
