the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yes he could but if he doesn't buy any shares in the open market, there is no point that I can see in going bleating to the Sun about not having any influence etc. My point was that he could spend a few mil on shares now to get some influence and still have more than enough left over to put directly into the Club via a new share issue. He could spend 10 million on shares and would still have zero influence. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTinMan99 0 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 perhaps you're like me and beginning to believe we're being bankrolled by someone like Mike Ashley. Who knows as they say Not sure if serious. Can you use smileys if you're being sarcastic. It's sometimes difficult to tell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,283 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 He could spend 10 million on shares and would still have zero influence. Let's see ... Damille Investments II Limited holds 859,521 shares through Schweco Nominees Limited. 859,521 = 1.32% Current buy price is roughly (rounded-down) 25p. By simple maths he'd get 40m shares for his 10m or 61% of all shares about. Methinks once he gets through the 31% mark, he's required to offer a price for all shares anyway? And you tell me that he would not get any influence for 10m? I'm sure no business brain and the above is a touch far fetched, but honestly, all and sundry invested in the club and gave their proxy to Easdale and Co.. King could likewise have invested in shares and gave his proxy to the requisitioners at the time. No doubts about that. He did not invest in shares though, just war-drummed a little and went off again. Like he does these days. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing we know for sure, is King is a better businessman than you or I, or anyone noob on an internet forum. If he didn't do as you're suggesting, you can be sure there is a damn good reason for it. All this 'war drumming' could be part of his plan, for all we know. At the very least, he's keeping the pressure on the board, to deliver what they said they would. We can't keep relying on people like King to bail us out, because we don't have the balls as a support to deal with these scumbags ourselves. They've robbed us blind, and they still have a measure of support among us. I'm not sure what people like King can do about that way of thinking. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he does these days. the requisitioners had 29% and got no influence. your also ignoring what buying up shares would do to the price. for a start whn you got to 30% you would have to start paying 90p. as i say and forlan points out while easdale/green/whyte/ahmed/blue pitch whatever you want t call the axis of evil has 51% you could happily spend 10 million and change nothing. except the value of their 51% 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,283 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 At the time, i.e. from March 2013 onwards, as I pointed out, the "then-board" did not have 51%. King could have bought up shares (who were instead bought by hedge funds, Laxey and all) and thus "weakened" the "evil axis'" strangehold all along. He chose not to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King could have bought up shares (who were instead bought by hedge funds, Laxey and all) and thus "weakened" the "evil axis'" strangehold all along. He chose not to. they have always had 51%. they simply are not that daft. i think the mistake your making is you are seeing a lot of shares moving and assuming they could be bought by king but for example ahmeds shares moving to easdale dowesnt change the 51% and king wouldn't be allowed to buy those. also some shares have moved several times. the axis are very careful to retain complete control. if one sells up it's to another one. they have to or otherwise the whole plan could fail. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 actually in fairness at one point the theft got so bad that it nearly fell apart. but green getting his jotters and some other work stabilised things for them. perhaps there was a chance at that point. a small one 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The board regrouped and got some new quality additions like Wallace while the requisitioners just grandstanded. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
