Dave King to step down as chairman

[JFK-1 1,666]

I think his contribution to the history of the club in arguably it's most traumatic period is deserving of a dedicated thread where people can pay tribute just in case Mr King has a look in. In my view he's now a Rangers legend and one of the most important figures ever to occupy the role of Chairman.

Long live the King.

He took on a difficult job in difficult times for the club I cant think who else would have did the job ,.

some may not agree with the way he has went about certain things but i really dread to think where we would be today if he hadn’t stepped up when he did. we certainly wouldn’t be joint top of the premier league, be one win away from the knock-out stages of the europa league, in a league cup final, have a footballing icon as our manager and a squad full of top international players. 

 

to think it was only 4 years ago they took on a a challenge that saw a kenny mcdowall led team with the 5 newcastle loanees and a 6-1 aggregate drubbing from motherwell just around the corner.

 

it’s remarkable the turnaround. 

 

thank you dave king.

King has been a hugely important factor in the club emerging from our recent problems.  

 

He deserves a massive thank you for all he has done.  On 8th December, Gerrard and the team have a real chance to say thank you in a more meaningful way.

 

Hopefully, 2020 sees us regain our rightful place as Champions, with Rangers men continuing to run the club in a sensible manner.

Just read his speech in full on the Rangers main website.A remarkable speech from someone who obviously has Rangers close to his heart.

When he steps down may he enjoy his "freedom" and hopefully finally erase Ashley from our records.

Thanks Dave King for our club.

I think it's fair to say Dave King hasn't won over all fans in his time at the club.

 

However, it's also fair to say, I doubt the club would be in anywhere near as fine fettle without, not just his hard work but his cold, hard cash.

 

Perhaps it does make sense he steps down as chair and I'm certainly glad he's outlined the reasons for doing this with future likely share issues on the way over the next year or two.  With that in mind, investors need to know the lie of land on a range of matters, not just the identity of the chair but were we stand with any outstanding litigation.

 

In the shorter term, I hope the team deliver the title to prove King's work has been a success.  Imperfect and worrisome at times but, for this bear, better than any viable alternative I've seen over the last ten years.  With that in mind, he leaves with my thanks.

DK and the T3B have taken the club forward since they arrived in 2015 and we’re now back where we were pre-2012.

 

We can’t ask for any more than that.
