Anyone else find it strange that King and his camp appear to now be thick as thieves (pardon the pun) with Wallace? He absolutely panned his 120 day plan after the last AGM and backed another shareholder who made a criminal complaint against him. I wonder what has made him change his opinion of the man?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think ggk its got to the point king knows its last chance salon with any takeover from himself at this present time. wallace and nash half way out the door anyway. king is there best bet keeping a job. i just hope for club and fans sake, king gets it over the line, and shows the easdales the back exit.

Agree0 Disagree0

Laudrup22 So you think his opinion is the same, but thinks he's better off dealing with Wallace rather than Easdales?I'd go with that myself. Just want it sorted one way or the other.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes ggk. easdales in my opinion only do buisness with king if ashley pulled out. can't see that though. the funny thing is. the board said they would back wallace /nash in the event of an egm?but ashley and s easdale allies. mabye the easdales are waiting to the last moment to put the knife in. or on other hand, king manages to edge the vote and it would be. dave we were always with you. who knows what going on.

Agree0 Disagree0

There is also the fact that wallace is better than he is portayed

Agree0 Disagree0

Wallace could be a lot more open and transparent with fans. but not for a minute do i think he's a mug. but we will see what happens in nxt few days.

Agree0 Disagree0

So could king he said basically nothin at all I don't have a lot a trust in him either

Agree0 Disagree0

No deal can be made in any discussions with the board[ or part of the board. ]
Any proposals must be put to the shareholders before any agreement on share issues etc. , could be proposed.
We are at the very early stages of what could be a very messy phase for us. We will soon see how many are only interested in what's in it for them?

Agree0 Disagree0

Billyb i agree if the shareholders don't allow king in then they themselfs are going to have to put a few million pound into ibrox and if we are honest with ourselfs they don't like spending there own money as we have alresdy seen with loans from easdale and latham

Agree0 Disagree0

@3. The Board may well support Wallace/Nash (they kind of have to) but they only hold about 1% of the shares. SE, with his ~25% proxy is not on the board and so is not bound by that statement

Agree0 Disagree0

There is no chance of the easdales supporting wallace its there foul hand that's behind ashleys motion because wallace has been talking to king nd co

Agree0 Disagree0

It seems clear that Wallace isn't the bad guy that he is reported to be. Yes he could be clearer with fans but I believe in some cases he has had to be quiet for legal reasons and sometimes for business savvy.
He clearly has put himself at risk to bring King in and this is why Ashley etc threatened EGM. Wallace could only have done this if he believed it was the best way forward.
I believe we may see a lot of mud slung and battling in the near future but hopefully its the beginning of the future.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gkk I've got to agree i think mr wallace would be easier to deal with than them easdales as they are all for ashley but time will tell eh

Agree0 Disagree0

Bluegenius i think it was due to the fact mr wallace got rid of poisen jack that the easdales took a dislike to mr wallace and anything he stood for

Ally McCoist is quoted today as 'giving full backing to Dave King investment in Rangers'. There's a surprise. He's backed every name that's been linked to investment in Rangers over the last three years! Maybe he'll change his mind when he's sacked! lol

DOIGER I thought he was finally starting to learn last month when he said he only wanted to talk football when questioned over an off - field matter. It would appear I was wrong,the man just does not think before opening his mouth.Just a total joke.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hilliarious mate. I really don't understand how people can make jokes like that at this time. This could make our break our club mate

Agree0 Disagree0

I think ally hopes everytime there's a new investor it means spend big. spend out of trouble. but this time feels diffrent, strongest indecation king an co put bucks on table. my concern is the easdales.

Agree0 Disagree0

Op, if you want to quote the man then use his whole quote he actually says he would welcome investment from anyone and many of them if it was the wishes of the shareholders

Agree0 Disagree0

DOIGER, Ally would back anybody that will secure his payoff, at the moment it's potentially Mr King (I can't bring myself to believe that anyone from Castlmilk would allow himself to be called "Dave"!!! Davy, Davie-boy, Div etc yes, but Dave! naw!!). Once again we have the unbelievable situation where the manager approves the board/potential investors not the other way around. If it's going to be you Mr King or Mr Ashley please find the money to get rid of McCoist!! it will be money well spent

Agree0 Disagree0

Young Winston, what's his name got to do with anything???

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2014 15:16:36
Well said BT61 to many people willing to have a go without reading or listening to the full interview, what manager/fan wouldn't welcome investment into his club & without stating the obvious especially ours as we desperately need it.
r.f

LS his name has nothing to do with it,the man's just saying there is no DAVES in Castlemilk.

Agree0 Disagree0

To save being mis-quoted, Ally should stick to his original statement. '' I will only speak about footballing matters. ''
Unfortunately he makes comments that leave him wide open to criticism.
Just one aside to poster 5, the only winston I have came across was a collie from Bearsden. Certainly not from Castlemilk, where I know a couple of Daves.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why are people debating about david king, getting called dave, Fs no wonder persons crack up on this

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Oct 2014 10:59:13
Its just a bit a banter,but you need to be from Glasgow to understand.Some posters on here are from other places eh.

Agree0 Disagree0

Billyb there is wan in craiglang anaw

JG

Agree0 Disagree0

The fact that McCoist has backed these 2 like he has so many before has alarm bells ringing, I do not trust one word out of the charlatans mouth. But I will back absolutely anyone who promises to sack him, if they keep him then it'll be the same old corporate waltz with McCoist between them and us, Rangers cannot move forward with crooks and charlatans in charge. This is my second season not attending games or buying merchandise purely because of McCoist and I will never spend 1p on them while he is there. McCoist epitomises everything I hate about the newco Rangers.

The only way King can get control is if he does a deal with Ashley, and also goes against everything he has said, and deals in a share purchase. [ if available. ] If I was a betting man, chances are slim on him getting the necessary allies to swing a deal.
Possibly a fellow poster hit the nail on the head, maybe a bit of gesturing and playing to the crowd.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Do you think letham is also in it playing to the crowd? He's stepped foward already this season for the club and is willing to again, think there's a good chance of this being successful, board know money ain't coming from the fans anymore, but if king and co get in then that would change.

Agree0 Disagree0

I hate this playing to the crowd nonsense. These people are not playing to the crowd they are trying to get control of our club. Absolute nonsense to think they are playing to the crowd

Agree0 Disagree0

Ferguson6, Mr Letham has been there for us and I have nothing but total respect for him. However, King seems to have the general support of a section of our fans as figurehead, and that is where my doubts lie.

Agree0 Disagree0

As @Rossw01 says, Letham is hand in hand with King - if you are fuklly behind one you are fully behind both. There is no middle ground

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Oct 2014 10:48:16
I don't think anyone is playing to the crowd ,least of all Mr Letham he produced the cash when we needed it without any fuss.That should be enough for anyone who has questions over his character or intentions.King on the other hand set up,for me,an unworkable account to take pledges for punters season ticket monies to then be released to the board.It was a non starter but,maybe he has bitten the bullet and finally accepted that the only way in is to BUY in.

Agree0 Disagree0

Is there any indication if there was another meeting yesterday?is s easdale having meeting with ashley?

Agree0 Disagree0

Jonno, What I am saying is that Mr Letham's actions have been impeccable on our behalf. Mr King, to date, has been disappointing, to say the least.
Hopefully, some sort of deal can be done, but there will have to be compromises by all. Will Dave King be able to do this? I have my doubts, but hope I am wrong.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why disappointing billy?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ferguson6, Quite simply, to date he has been all hot air with no substance. He has been more disruptive, than helpful. e. g. the season ticket boycott, and possibly prompting the Easdale vendetta.
Initially, I was 100% behind him to take charge but just feel that he wanted the club for nothing. Yes, we had been bought for a song and then pillaged. The damage had been done and that seemed to delay his actions, thus we are in this hand to mouth existence.

we need accounts signed off before a AGM that could be a problem- tmwtn I never said I sent money to a account but did say Mr King mouthpiece at the time (or should we called him a silent partner) our former captain Mr Richard Gough said a account would be set up for us. Then we put our season book money in and it would be drip feed to the club, then came the silence remember tmwtn ???????

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Mullad yes that was what was said but then it was revieled that the current shareholders were not going to budge so the account was closed down ime glad it never worked out cause it would have saved the board having to pay up and also would have saved the board lots of money now the crowds have spoken that wouldn't have happened if we were dripfeeding them money

Agree0 Disagree0
