Uilleam 5,429 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 If DK can't get his (or his Trust's, or his Company's) monies out of SA prior to the (admittedly) ludicrous offer to all shareholders, how could anyone, outwith SA, who decides to throw in the towel and accept the offer expect to get his/her cash for the shares in timeous manner? Or at all? In other words, if he can't get the dough out of Africa, even if it is held in escrow there, how can he make the offer at all? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to tell me that it cost him and is associates £11m to do that or are you? Secondly its far more cash than going to the bank with your couple of grand holiday money and exchanging it for Rand for your two week SA trip. Theres setting up the facility and approval to move the cash and then there is the haggling over the exchange rate 6 weeks would have been a reasonable time scale to do that however the TAB/TOP didn't allow that opportunity to arise. I'm not saying he hasn't been difficult about it but as far as I'm concerned if what Dave King says is true then the TAB/TOP have been completely unreasonable. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,674 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Quote Certain individuals believe that if they can disrupt the current board the recovery in Rangers fortunes over the last three years might be reversed. I believe him but saying it like that troubles me a shade. I would rather he didn't talk about that unless he can provide names and details. Otherwise it just sounds like conspiracy theory. Quote My fellow directors and I have all had to endure personal attacks and we all spend far more time dealing with Rangers interests than any of us truly expected. But we did it willingly and continue to do so for no financial gain. Those that wished our Club to fail have failed themselves and we will continue to progress despite inevitable set-backs that will come our way from time to time. And so say all of us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done everything within our limited means to achieve that. It hasn't all worked out as we would wish but it's not due to lack of commitment and effort from Dave King. It hasn't all worked out? Our team has been completely awful since it returned to the top flight and Hibs almost pipped us to third place. That's pathetic. Mr King is judged by the product on the park first and foremost and so far it has been diabolical.

Tannochsidebear 2,315 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 19 hours ago, Bluedell said: Given the nature of the arrangement of a concert party, it would be more effective to go to a person rather than a company...which King was claiming he had no involvement with at one point, IIRC, It's these sorts of claims that mean that the TP go with the reality of the situation (who controls the shares) rather than whose name is on the certificates (his granny.daughter.wife...). However that notwithstanding, I take your point. (New Oasis Asset Limited, I believe). Yes, its grandstanding by King no matter the small details. He seems to revel in fighting with authorities, even when he is wrong. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr King is judged by the product on the park first and foremost and so far it has been diabolical. It makes for an interesting debate.............. A more settled and clearly improving side on the park would certainly help some of the other issues. eg. players doing well = less pay offs and potential profit on player trading, increased European revenue, etc. There is an argument that suggest that this is the current approach, opposed to 'top down', which in some areas is proving very difficult. If so, it's a big gamble. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
