Bears 0 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Maybe King was the guy feeding the media and bloggers inside info? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,283 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I wonder how some on here have "definite" information. Sounds much like what is said in that photocopied article: "for daring to question" ... well let's make Whyte the ruthless dictator now! Pinch of salt? Nay, cup of salt these days. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,447 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 DAVE KING has been ruthlessly axed as a Rangers director for daring to question Craig Whyte’s regime. South-African based King was told by e-mail late on Friday afternoon he had been kicked off the beleaguered club’s board. Record Sport believes the latest boardroom change will be announced on the Plus Market today with Ibrox sources insisting King’s dismissal is punishment for objecting to Whyte’s dealings. Rangers fans will be shocked by this latest departure as many of them saw King as the man who would save their club. King was alarmed when we revealed the new owner had mortgaged four years of season tickets to raise £24.4million. The deal with Ticketus was done without the previous board’s knowledge and although Whyte later said he’d been left with a £7m bill from Ticketus, he was quickly slapped down by the man who sold him the club last May. Sir David Murray firmly denied Whyte had been left to pick up a Ticketus tab. King was the last link between Whyte’s board and the old guard but he has been dumped just as chairman Alastair Johnston, chief executive Martin Bain, financial director Donald McIntyre and Paul Murray were after the takeover. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,283 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Again, who is King apparently talking to here about stuff he would keep to himself if he's any dignity and loyalty to the club? If the above is actualy correct. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,182 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Is there not any kind of obligation to have King on the board considering the share-holding he has? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Why do the media still insist that the Ticketus money if £24.4m....when Whyte has stated its nearer £20m??? Is anyone REALLY surprised about King getting the chop/leaving/resigning (what ever the truth is...)??? He was the last remnant of the previous board, which Whyte has made it clear, by previous dismissals, he wants rid of completely. Maybe King lasted longer either due to his Stake holding, or that fact that he wasn't really involved in the normal running of thing - a somewhat silent director.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovanAllan 0 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 This place to screaming to the heavens that CW is a crook and must be removed, then when a proven crook is kicked off the board the place goes into meltdown that it's wrong. Couldn't make this shit up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,354 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It's one less person to give advice to Whyte and one less person to question him on what he is doing, which can only make the club weaker. He has admitted that he has made mistakes in the running of the club. As such, he should accept that he isn't fautless and strengthen the board with people who can give him advice, particularly with people that have a lot more experience than he has. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
