Bears 0 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 It's hard to know the script with King. Buying the shares for £1 wouldn't be a problem to SARS, but the £10m plus it'd cost to agree a CVA / newco and invest in the business would be. He certainly picks his moments, like when everyone was debating Whyte's shares over the last 4 months why didn't he point out then that he has first refusal? It'd also be intersting to see how HMRC dealt with an individual that's being investigated for tax avoidance in another country as I don't imagine it would go down too well. All we're needing is for someone to grab the bull by the balls, take control, and get this bloody thing over with. All we're getting is people prancing about pretending to be hard men when in fact they're just shadow boxers in ballerina outfits. It's gone way way way beyond a joke now. And it’s us, the fans that get a boot in the balls everytime someone pipes up. Just let CG get on with it, that’s the stage i’m at now. I’m worn out 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,310 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 On a sidenote, I was under the impression that Whyte already got Green's 2 pounds for the shares. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewarty 1,879 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 King seems to me like a soldier who enters the battlefield to bayonet the wounded. - If he has the club's interest at heart, why did he not tell us of this deal before hand, so that this could be publicly known and verified with Whyte? - Why did he not follow up in writing to crystallise the deal? - What has changed in his circumstances to allow him to bid for the club if Whyte actually honoured this deal? - Why should we believe him? As Tom English is fond of quoting, a South African judge described him as wholly unreliable as a witness and that his statements should be ignored unless backed up with verifiable evidence. Given Whyte has denied he made the deal, we now have the scenario where two (allegedly) proven liars are bickering over some shares that neither has any control over if we believe Charles Green and D&P. Jesus wept, I need a lie down. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Here's another question for you: If King was so certain a couple of months ago that the club would be liquidated why would he be bothering about Whyte's shareholding now? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthter 542 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Here's a thought.... Who has legal precedence??? Whyte/King allegedly have a verbal agreement (legally binding under Scots Law), and Green/Whyte allegedly have a documented/signed agreement. According to Google Fights - The Green/White agreement wins!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Did King record the verbal agreement ie does he have any evidence? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,310 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I would assume even the "verbal" agreement had some ifs and buts and maybes attached, who did not come to pass. Hence Green got the shares. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
