Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Sorting the retail deal with SD is a big plus for the Club. No doubt about that. The strategy of issuing a termination notice for SD default on the RRL deal was very very risky though. Had SD won the court case - which I think they would have done from the details of the case made public so far - then Rangers would have been on the hook to pay a very large amount of money in damages to SD. If that had turned out to be the case then God alone only knows where that money would have come from. IMO it could have sunk Rangers beyond recovery. So, imo, he had piloted a very risky commercial strategy with no real leverage to bring SD back to the table to explore what compromise might have been possible. As King himself acknowledged today SD could simply have sought to enforce its contract made with the last Board. Arguably SD bailed King out by weighing up the money it would have got in damages by winning the court case against the prospective loss of future revenue from Rangers either because the damages sunk Rangers into oblivion, or if Rangers survived the hit from damages claim it then decided never to do business with SD ever again so SD would lose out on longer term business. Had SD not come back to the table the court would have settled the breach of contract matter and both parties would just have had to live with the decision. By agreeing to renegotiate the deal both parties get short term benefit and leave the door open to repair relations for a future linger term deal. That is entirely sensible. But King presided over a Board that took a whopping risk in terminating the RRL deal on grounds of SD breach of contract and if the court case had proceeded they would not, imo, have looked clever. There is also the not insignificant matter of King's failure to comply with The Takeover Panel ruling (relating to his concert party trick and subsequent failure to offer to buy shares). That court case has still to be heard. King may yet findhimself on the wrong end of a court judgement against him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Müller 340 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Delighted with whats happened today. But I am sceptical about King Clamming up when asked about Ashley's shareholding. The one cloud on the horizon is the takeover panel carry on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willygers4life 1,031 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Good all round for the club, but no need to praise king as a sole entity. It was the board that did this and going by what I have read more so James blair. King is only showing face as he is the chairman. Still alot of of work to be done from him before he can be held in high regard Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are as bad ass the "in the know" posters in the transfer forum that claim to know all the inner workings but like them, you know fuck all. Where were the Far east brars when we needed them? Dave King was the one that stepped in and rallied the support of the other board members, shareholders and supporters. No one else did when we needed someone the most. The far East bears are working with King, they seem to trust him. Just admit it, you are actually just pissed of King got a good result and Ashley got a bad one.

Gazza1212 1,212 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Can we no all just acknowledge the fact Rangers are finally free of this ridiculous deal however it was accomplished?Credit to whoever is responsible but being honest I freely admit I'm not at all privy to the inner workings of the club so wouldn't know who to thank for this If they are a true Rangers man they won't look for plaudits, the satisfaction of seeing us prosper once again will be reward enough. Come on guys it's a big result let's see it for what it is, it's good for Rangers and that will do for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Persson 547 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I have always liked King anyway, considering he stepped up to the plate. As for being a Criminal, don't make me laugh. There is not a business tycoon who doesn't get up to that tax stuff anywhere in any country. The law says King is a criminal but Craig Whyte is innocent? The law is an ass.
