Popular Post The Beast 9,467 Posted December 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2021 I don't trust King at all. My worry would be that if he doesn't get his own way regards getting back on the board he will be on the phone to his henchman Chris Graham to begin the dirty tricks and destabilisation tactics that they used successfully before. He won't care if it damages the club as long as Dave King gets what Dave King wants. BloodRunsBlue, HG5, BridgeIsBlue and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,862 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I doubt he genuinely wants to rejoin the board. He knows the c1872 thing is a no go. Imagine it's a play to get his shares sold off before they get further diluted. HG5 and One Jock Wallace 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc holliday 1,653 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 He wants a return on his investment asap. I would imagine he would push for a more aggressive player sales strategy as one way of achieving that objective. He will not play second fiddle to anyone.

Didnt Douglas Park do exactly the same? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 if King got a seat back on the board he could effectively give it to someone on C1872 as his representative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sr chucked it and his boy took his place before changing his mind and deciding both would stay. Sr stepped down in 2015, came back at Kings request in 2018 as deputy chairman before taking over from King. Don't think King thought Jr would stay on the board when Sr returned. plymouthranger, The Dude and One Jock Wallace 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motive behind it is unclear - I reckon it's a play to get someone to buy him out, the Parks maybe? Was very surprised to see Letham leave the board last week. Think this is all linked with guys fighting behind the scenes. Apparently Latham isn’t to do with this, but the timing is off and does make you wonder what’s going on.

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Does make me wonder if King is trying to be a colossal pain in the ass so someone buys him out as it looks like this c1872 scheme is all but dead in the water.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Part of me says that if King wants back on the board then let him. We owe him a debt. Other part is suspicious of his timing and motives. So I am sitting on the fence until I have more facts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
