Anyone heard any rumours about king coming back in? The club really is falling apart, we need him in pronto.
1.) 19 Sep 2024 20:01:37
We don’t need king at all another pure fantasy that he was amazing for us you can add him to the colak, gerrad, hagi and Katic brigade. Oh and shankland how could I forget the messiah.
2.) 19 Sep 2024 20:01:48
How's the club falling apart utter bs.
3.) 19 Sep 2024 20:10:43
King has called for an EGM and wants 50m investment to help bridge the gap to the other mob.
4.) 19 Sep 2024 20:11:06
King is just pandering to the masses at this point, he's making up fantasies about the club needing £50million investment to catch Celtic. Things won't change with him, we can have the investment and still piss it against the wall, we need a solid structure in place not just someone who wants his ego stroked when it suits him.
5.) 19 Sep 2024 20:33:09
King would be another step in the wrong direction, therefore wouldn’t be surprised if he came in.
6.) 19 Sep 2024 20:38:18
King is not the answer. Lots of untainted businessmen want nothing to do with him.
He has a liking for being in the media spotlight and being the hero savior knight.
7.) 19 Sep 2024 20:52:30
We've all got our opinions but for me personally i think he's the man we need back in at this particular time and i believe king has the nous and the bottle to make the decisions needed otherwise our club ain't getting near that other mob for many a year ? Over to everyone to push for change because we're rudderless and going nowhere at this moment in time and someone has to do something and i believe that man is dave king ???.
8.) 19 Sep 2024 20:55:11
Let's make it clear king can't call for a EGM as he falls to reach the required support to call for 1. Do we need King to return absolutely to rebuild on the field and off the field off the field we are in a Mess on players there's a few free transfers we could snap up.
9.) 19 Sep 2024 20:58:17
Go Dave! Gauntlet laid down.
10.) 19 Sep 2024 21:01:16
Youngbblue2001 when he left 1 we were in a better place 2 he had issues to deal with in South Africa his plan was never to be around the club long term he was aiming to be just a fan in his later life.
11.) 19 Sep 2024 21:18:46
Sp are you saying we don't need investment? He wants to come in for 2 years and put in place structures you mention.
12.) 19 Sep 2024 22:00:50
Dave King is a Rangers shareholder. IF he has 50m of investor money ready to go into the club and has the clubs best intentions at heart then he wouldn't be witholding it for his own intentions.
Talk is cheap. Modern football and busines is about positive relationships and he seems to have a knack for being confrontational and divisive.
13.) 19 Sep 2024 22:05:21
He said we need 50m to compete and has criticised the club in the media to anyone who will listen to massage his ego. I'm sure that's really helped Clement and Koppen and the players. I'll judge him by his actions and not his word.
14.) 19 Sep 2024 22:06:57
Issues to deal with in South Africa. He was being prosecuted for all forms of financial crimes, including if reporting of the the court case is to be believed fraud, money laundering and racketeering. The judge called his evidence unbelievable (glib and shameless liar) so if he can do that in court, why would anyone believe what he says?
15.) 19 Sep 2024 22:13:15
Even if he`s right that we need £50 million then he is setting himself up to fail because we won`t get anyone investing that kind of money. Personally I think he just plucked out the figure Souness used on Talkrubbish . Its a nice figure but no reasoning behind it . Pandering.
16.) 19 Sep 2024 22:30:45
50m investment won’t buy players …. FP rules.
17.) 19 Sep 2024 22:36:53
Angus. I don't know the outcome, but was he found guilty of any of these 'charges'
18.) 20 Sep 2024 00:03:36
King done his job, got his cash back and probably cost us cash with court cases, our board have made an arse of things but he made a few himself.
19.) 20 Sep 2024 02:57:26
Gets a bit silly here sometimes with people having a go without doing the research. Kings problems in SA stem from a tax bill. He had a written agreement with the tax authorities for x-amount, they then turned around and demanded 3 times the amount. He decided to fight it and rightly so imho. The courts are not exactly unbiased here, there or anywhere. As for court cases here, King has been practically alone in his willingness to fight on rangers behalf. You can think him decisive and a trouble maker if you like, I don't see him that way. It's not an ego thing, it's a willingness to do the hard stuff and I for one appreciate it. Btw, what's wrong with wanting to safeguard the club and become a rangers hero? People, and no disrespect meant to anyone, seem to be having a go at him for wanting things to improve. I don't get it.
20.) 20 Sep 2024 05:35:25
So if a 50 million investment is used to generate some form of revenue stream for our club, you wouldn't take that Lisbon, money generated from that revenue stream could result in investment in the team.
21.) 20 Sep 2024 05:56:30
King gets bored etc? His job was done he left the club in a good place they’ve wrecked it completely the appointment of Beale was an astronomical F**K up, I also blame a lot of the fans for Beale as it gathered steam when a rangers legend in gio who just took us to a European final with Gerrards team, and was dealing with a heavy injury crisis was still at the club, and he should have been backed, I think king is the answer, he’ll draw in investment, the Tony bloom investment at hearts is interesting and I wonder why he didn’t look at rangers, because it’s pure toxic at the moment that’s why, our club is on its knees at the moment and that lot are strolling leagues. Making a fortune.
22.) 20 Sep 2024 06:53:42
We need a board who support each other with not fighting individuals genuine guys at the helm with genuine abilities too take out team too the next level not a podium too flex there muscles n say I'm bigger n better than you we will only move forward with clear investment
But also the right guys who will maximise its potential n make it work for our club
We need aboard who back each other n ain't out for personal gain.
23.) 20 Sep 2024 07:50:02
Spot on Duccablue ?i totally agree with your post mate ???.
24.) 20 Sep 2024 08:25:18
BAR, if by found guilty him agreeing to pay large 'fines' to stop the cases then I would say that amounted to an admission of guilt. so yes.
25.) 20 Sep 2024 08:34:42
duccablue. Did the research. King was claiming he had an annual income of £5k when he had luxury yachts, multi-million pound home and Ferraris. SARS were claiming 3 times what he eventually settled for out of court. This case was as a result of their claims that he was fraudulently not paying the correct taxes.
So they didn't triple the amount he was due, they decided to settle for 1/3 of the amount they were claiming in the court case. It was in all of the UK press but the court papers are actually still available online as well. It was during this case that the court/ judge called him a glib and shameless liar.
26.) 20 Sep 2024 11:30:40
Walter explain how king does this, the support r being blindly led to oblivion.
Angus u r 100% correct
Walter Dacca etc do you think king would pass the fit and proper test with SFA.
27.) 20 Sep 2024 11:59:49
There is an old saying. "never bite the hand that feeds you King actually did leave us in a good place, however several bad appointments put paid to that and we were back in deep sh-t, It's not King you should all be worried about, Others at Rangers have thrown money down the drain and made disastrous decisions that have placed our club in a very precarious position. We have sat back and allowed this to happen, Now is the time for action and getting our club back where it belongs or we can sit and be keyboard warriors while our club slowly ebbs away and we have nothing left to fight for.
28.) 20 Sep 2024 12:11:41
John, King passed it the last time did he not?
29.) 20 Sep 2024 12:39:00
Borna yes, b4 he agreed to pay the fines for tax evasion.
For me him and park did what the set out to do rid the club off the old board, I was in that camp along with many others.
We as a club now require the right type of business men to move the business forward, park and king r not these men
Imo halstead Gibson r the foundation stones of a future.
30.) 20 Sep 2024 14:23:09
I agree about Park John, but I think King has a part to play, even if it's to get others off their ass and get everyone around the table to brainstorm how to move our club forward. If him sticking his snib in is a catalyst for action at board level, then I'm all for it.
31.) 20 Sep 2024 15:11:55
Angus, respect brov, I get your point but see it different. His original tax bill was tripled, he refused to pay it and went to court, the case was settled for near the original amount demanded. I'd call that a win mate.
32.) 20 Sep 2024 17:24:29
ducca you are right in that we see it different.
tbh I am more worried about what the courts said about him at the time:that he "has no respect for the truth and does not hesitate to lie . if he thinks it will be to his advantage. " how can I then believe what he is saying in the papers now without thinking he must be acting in some way for his advantage. again just my opinion.
33.) 20 Sep 2024 18:41:51
The club were brought back to life, our european reputation restored when we were beating teams miles ahead of our level thanks to Gerrards leadership and Beale's tactics, we had a team that punched well above it's weight, it did take 2 seasons to get the mix, direction and balance right in the team and a complete rebuild.
Poor decisions to not back Gerrard when he should have been, sell off our best young talents and letting valuable players walk for zilch, allowing other clubs to profit from their future sales, Rangers got Rangers in this mess, and there is little the fans can do about it.
looks like a lot of poor decisions have got us into this mess, the board are all over the joint, our manager is tactically clueless, we have no money as the club made an utter dugs dinner out of the player trading model, sacrificed 2 quality managers to cover up their mess, will be a long time until we even get back to the level Gerrard had us at, nevermind seriously challenge Celtic.
Rangers are on a downward spiral, no point in trying to kid on we are not. One director or board member will not fix that. The club have a lot of problems that need improved asap, and that is going to take at least 2-3 years, same as when Gerrard arrived.
Meanwhile Celtic have actually implemented a working player trading model, that is generating solid profits, and we are nowhere near their current level, crazy to think it was only 3 years ago and they couldn't touch us for a whole season, now they beat us without barely breaking a sweat.
34.) 20 Sep 2024 19:05:53
Bloom didn`t look at Rangers because £10million buys a lot of improvement for Hearts but not for us . He wouldn`t get any major input at Rangers for that money. Wouldn`t mind a link up with Brighton or one of the bigger English clubs though, access to some good players that can`t get a game for big EPL clubs.

So many of our fans slating Cantwell, when he's our best player by far, and our own fans have driven him out our club because of what Sutton started.
1.) 22 Aug 2024 23:03:44
If he can't grow thick skin, take criticism and do his talking on the pitch and not being a fairy off it and chuck it then he's welcome to leave.
2.) 22 Aug 2024 23:26:22
Best player when? Clement didn't trust him to start against that lot.
3.) 22 Aug 2024 23:41:42
I do rate him - agree the media are doing a good job putting our club down - always misery with our stories and joyous for the other mob no matter discussion point - the thing is although it may affect some opinions it cannot really change what PC sees day to day. Maybe Cantwell is not playing ball and no matter how good you are it cannot be tolerated ??????.
4.) 22 Aug 2024 23:50:41
The only person who forced Cantwell out of Rangers is Cantwell.
5.) 23 Aug 2024 00:05:15
Yeah it’s all because of Sutton it’s best he is a wasted talent and he doesn’t work hard enough.
6.) 23 Aug 2024 00:27:36
Yeah its our fault he's 5h1t3.
7.) 23 Aug 2024 01:03:18
How often has he shown how good he can be? Not nearly enough. And no matter what Sutton said, his attitude has been a problem.
8.) 23 Aug 2024 01:25:04
Every other player in the team is better than him at this moment in time if he doesn’t want to play. Clement said himself he gave him a second chance and he said no. Look at the difference between him and Hagis professionalism and it’s night and day.
9.) 23 Aug 2024 07:06:56
When has Cantwell ever been our best player "by far"? Yip, it us big bad fans who are to blame, eh?! Cantwell was a wee roaster long before he came here, and had previous, but we'll just forget all about that and stick the blame solely on the lifeblood of our club. Jesus wept!
10.) 23 Aug 2024 07:12:54
The boy has talent but doesn't want to show it here - for whatever reason we need him shifted and some return on him - the press and fans can criticise all they want but if he had been producing on pitch regularly then he could have a case but that was not the scenario - another overpaid prima donna who chucks toys out pram when going gets a wee bit tough - definitely the mentality we do not need at Ibrox right now - I trust in Clement to bring grafters and team players with talent to club and not folks who are more interested in how their hair is sitting or what's new on social media or carrying out spats with fans when the true talking needs done on the park -what could have been then Mr Cantwell - you have made your bed.
11.) 23 Aug 2024 07:45:45
I gather you never seen his latest tick tock post about the support then. boy should never pull on a Jersey again regardless a team b team.
12.) 23 Aug 2024 08:07:12
He's not the best player in his family.
13.) 23 Aug 2024 08:10:50
Cantwell has shown no respect for the support, he only considers himself, and he will find out to his detriment, that he has blown a good chance to show what he should be capable of but isn't because of his own attitude.
14.) 23 Aug 2024 08:18:32
Are you cantwells burner account? He’s been posted missing in every single old firm that has mattered. There is a reason fans take to players like Sterling tbey play well in the biggest games. Cantwell doesn’t and his off field antics on exasperate it.
15.) 23 Aug 2024 08:41:48
Having a decent game against Livi or St Mirren (no offence), does not make you a great, even a good Rangers player. The great ones do it where it counts, and he is not the only one who lacks that gift.
16.) 23 Aug 2024 08:49:00
Fraser what is your view of cantwell being dragged off dragged off pc after Scottish cup final,
The lad imo has all the talent but no desire.
17.) 23 Aug 2024 08:57:10
so what is everyones solution to this problem?
Hes not playing, yet getting paid big money. If he's not playing then the chances of another team buying him is rather unlikely especially with all our media and fans blasting him.
So do we leave him to run down his contract and collect his wages or do we pay him off/ terminate the contract etc etc.
What is the end result?
18.) 23 Aug 2024 08:58:11
Absolute nonsense. His behaviour has been down to himself. The gaffer has had issues with him. As for skill, he has it but without a brain for football, his decision making is awful and that reflects in his numbers. The Dundee game we drew at dens was the prime example. We have too much possession for a player like him.
They had everyone in the box we needed to draw them out, but he kept trying to dribble through with the same results. He is no different from them having Shane Duffy. Duffy is a good blocking defender at a team under pressure, but at a possession based footballing team he is the wrong player.
Cantwell and Kent would be better at a team with less possession where the opposition are opened out attacking them, giving space when they get the ball. To Kent's defence, because of this he played better for us in Europe and against Celtic. Cantwell cannot ever say that as his talking is done on-line.
19.) 23 Aug 2024 09:10:12
Ally, we sell for best fee we can attain.
20.) 23 Aug 2024 09:30:58
He, along with others need to go ASAP. Our transfer window has stalled.
21.) 23 Aug 2024 09:53:05
Cantwell had the potential to rebuild his career at Rangers.
He had the platform of Europe to showcase his talent.
And for whatever reason he has failed.
These type of signings are the type that have held the club back in recent years, IMHO.
Talented players who are in the last chance saloon for a reason.
Would much rather have an 'honest' pro who gives you 100% every game and is a steady 7/ 10 than a talented player who gives you the very occasional 9/ 10 but turns in a 4/ 10 most weeks due to inconsistency or lack of hard work.
22.) 23 Aug 2024 10:18:21
Fraser
Best player pushing it. He was bought as impact player and LBH his impact minimal. Then he threw toys out and downed tools and acted like wee boy and asked to leave. PC saw right thru him and please God. Now he's on fringe nobody is exactly banging on our door because they've seen what he's like. He'll be back playing in Conference before long. If Rangers get offered 3m by anybody we should bight hand.
23.) 23 Aug 2024 10:20:59
SS the one game he played well he was maybe our best player ?.
24.) 23 Aug 2024 10:40:33
Cantwell can play, but inconsistent. He plays for himself and not the jersey, and thinks he is better than he is.
We need players who play for the jersey and team. Good riddances I say….
25.) 23 Aug 2024 11:00:34
Hello Todd.
In all seriousness, he's nowhere near our best player. I wouldn't even have him in our best 11 if everyone were fit. Has some talent, sure, but inconsistent with it and has personality/ character wise he's a complete bag of jaggies.
In a midfield sense, Barron, Diomande, Raskin and Sterling would all be in my starting 11 before Cantwell got anywhere near it.
26.) 23 Aug 2024 11:27:32
Our best team performance last season was away at Betis
when this lad was absent.
Creates a rod for his own back on and off the park.
Probably best for everyone if he were to move on now.
27.) 23 Aug 2024 12:59:01
I agree Todd was our best player, oozing class, but unable to deliver consistently. His work rate was top drawer and he has vision, shame to see this happening.
28.) 23 Aug 2024 13:32:34
Sutton never stared at anything. As much as I don't have much favour for Sutton, he called Cantwell out for what he is. And that has been proven by Cantwell himself in that he is more interested in likes on social media than winning football games/ trophies.
Sutton didn't force him into putting the shooshburger post on after losing the league and a winning position in the hearts game so sadly Cantwell has brought this on himself.
No doubt he'll go to another club and say the same about us as he did with Norwich when he came to us and make out things happened that were out of order and one day he'll talk about it.
29.) 23 Aug 2024 14:01:02
He had one good season then was useless.
30.) 23 Aug 2024 14:35:15

If Craig levein is our new director of football I won’t be back.
Can’t stand the man. And his football credentials are laughable!
King back in to sort mess out only option in my opinion! He’s done it before he can do it again.
15 Sep 2024 15:03:23
Hagi is better than what’s currently in our squad, we remain very thin and short of any quality at all.
14 Sep 2024 21:15:30
The board is a shambles, there’s been zero transparency, and us the supporters get lead down the garden path! The replacement for bisgrove has been a shambles also. King coming out and backing bennet also really concerned me. Because I think he’s made a right arse of things!
03 Sep 2024 12:34:33
Just after this week? Been going on for a while now, u never see anything negative about Celtic anywhere, in recent years even when we won 55, Scottish media, spfl and even Glasgow council is ran by them, they’ve been creating this for years. We let it happen.
