Just curious. If Celtic went bust I wouldn't let anybody from the previous board anywhere near the club, especially one who sat there and done **** all to help.

Yer right . They ****s should be cast into the wilderness . Heaven forbid they do something like run for public office say .

Who would vote for a **** like that eh ?

They would never get anywhere in that realm . Dodgy bastards !:emoticon-0112-wonde
 
Firstly Celtic are run in an honest and trustful way so it is likely they won't go belly up.
Celtic had over 20million profit this year and spent about 7 million. Murray and the
conmen that ran Rangers 1872 and those involved with The Rangers do the opposite
take in £7m and spend £20m .
Now Dave King was part of D Murray's win crazy team . He has also admitted tax
fraud in South Africa and offered to pay over £41m to keep himself out of jail for
82 years. This is the messiah The Rangers fans want to save them. Why has
All the messiahs of the Ibrox based club all conmen ? Could they not get an honest
fit and proper man to run the club for them . Why depend on Campbell Ogilivie
And others at the SFA to turn a blind eye again.
 
He's not the Messiah ! He's a very naughty boy !

Now ........**** off .
 
A QUESTION mark had hung over the former Rangers director's possible return due to his South African tax conviction but a spokesman for the Stock Exchange says the way is clear for King to take his place at Ibrox.

DAVE King has been given the go-ahead to return to the Rangers boardroom by the London Stock Exchange.

A spokesman for the LSE last night confirmed the businessman would be free to become chairman so long as Ibrox advisers rubber-stamped the move.

It had been thought King’s South African tax conviction and his previous board appointment at Ibrox may have stood in the way of a comeback.

But a spokesman for the LSE, where Rangers shares are listed on the Alternative Investments Market (AIM), appeared to clear the way for King to plough money into the club.

He told Record Sport: “I had a look in the reports and there were these issues in South Africa, the other thing was that he had been on the board previously.

“So the question would be whether these things would stop him taking a stake again.

“I think the answer on both these points is they wouldn’t.

“From the Exchange’s point of view if we are satisfied Rangers’ nominated adviser Daniel Stewart and Company has carried out the correct checks then he would be allowed to make this investment.”

King is believed to have met Paul Shackleton of Daniel Stewart yesterday to discuss returning to Ibrox as chairman.

Earlier this year he struck a deal with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) to settle a long-running £227million tax dispute.

He agreed to pay SARS £44.75m after admitting he owed income tax, and in return the revenue service agreed to drop prosecutions over dozens of criminal fraud charges.

He pled guilty to having contravened tax legislation by failing to provide correct information about earnings.

The payment agreement was reached as an alternative to an 82-year jail term for 41 counts of breaching tax legislation.

During his 10-year legal battle a judge once said of King: “He has no respect for the truth and does not
hesitate to lie ... if he thinks it will be to his advantage. He is a mendacious witness whose evidence should not be accepted on any issue unless it is supported by objective evidence.

“In our assessment he is a glib and shameless liar.”

King arrived in South Africa in the 1970s with £10 in his pocket but went on to build up a £200m fortune as a high-powered financial consultant.

He also had a seaside holiday home, a £165,000 Ferrari, £64,000 Mercedes-Benz and two private jets worth £14m.

King bought up vineyards too and, along with golf legend pal Gary Player, ploughed £1m into a stud farm.

SARS began to ask questions when the tycoon claimed to be earning only £5000 a year.

King’s defence was that nearly everything he had was owned by an offshore company called Ben Nevis.

He flew into Glasgow Airport on Friday to hold meetings with the Rangers board, and was last night thought to have headed to London to continue discussions with the LSE and Daniel Stewart.

Under stock exchange rules, should regulators have any questions about his suitability to be a director, Daniel Stewart and Company would have to signal to AIM that it had carried out due diligence on King before putting him forward as a board member of a publicly listed company.

Meanwhile, Gers boss Ally McCoist said: “I saw Dave briefly at the East Fife game. We exchanged pleasantries and spoke about the match.

“I haven’t had a chance to talk to him in great detail but effectively it’s none of my business.”

Now we just need our good friends at the SFA to rubber stamp the move.

The Record only printed the words of the Judge, you reailse it wasn't the Record who actually wrote/said them.

So does that mean the Judge is an enemy of Rangers because he called a crooked **** a crooked ****?
 
Medro , how much money did the Messiah Dave King , blow The Rangers way ?
Did the money he blew The Rangers way mean that your poor Manager Ally
Is able to draw his full salary and able to feed himself and family .

How much did he spend on Rangers? A small fraction of his fortune.
I'm pretty sure our manager has enough money, he invested wisely during his Rangers career.

Remember football players get bonuses for winning games, winning cups/leagues, winning awards, scoring goals.
And as I'm sure you can remember McCoist was the main man in Scottish football back then.
He must have made a fortune and that was before the EBTs <laugh>
 
Trev , what happened you announced Dave King as The Rangers' messiah and Chairman .
He has gone and didn't do what Your genius friend Medro claimed and blow money at The
Rangers .
Now Trev you are left with honest Craig Whyte's colleague as The Rangers new Chairman .
He will be good for some of Rangers 1872 club as it appears he is going to use someone
else's money to pay the debts . Well he does say the club is 141 years old , so he must
recognise the debts .

We all recognise our debts . We're just not gonna pay them.

Establishment dance <party>
 
That's great news but its a pity that you are more likely to be a spokesman for your
Idiotic friend Willie Frazier than you are for The Rangers club.

Tell me Mr Knowall, when and how much did Dave King give to The Rangers .
I thought he had invested in Rangers 1872, as he and Davie Murray were such
wonderful successful business associates .
