JIffy, Dev, MTS, Tina, Cossy, Pud, Venom, Harry, EC, Rogue and.....? Cue half the folk mentioned above writing "...Do I **** read Leggo! ..."
Leggo sounds like a worried man. I'm looking forward to another summer of uncertainty and bloody infighting.
Artistic licence First it was David Murray, then it was Craig Whyte, followed by Charles Green and now David King. I wonder whose dunger Leggo will be tonguing in six months time?
Some other shady Hun looking to make a quick buck no doubt. Ibrox is some sort of beacon for corrupt degenerates
Sure, I'll give this a bash for once. ------ IMRAN AHMAD has claimed he will help Rangers man Dave King to sweep up the shares he needs to put him in a strong position to run Rangers. That was the message which Ahmad sent me. And he sent it to me directly (right I believe you). I have the electronic proof of the shamed former Rangers commercial director's pledge to back Dave King (ok good stuff I believe you, let's move on). And in a stunning claim, Ahmad also insisted to me that 60 per cent of Rangers shareholders want to bail out and are eager to sell, as they believe, what Ahmad referred to as "Craig Whyte's mental(sic) disturbed rants.' In the same email - a copy of which is now stored in a safe place (I BELIEVE YOU!) - Ahmad who was booted out of Ibrox for leaking sensitive confidential Rangers business information to a website, also insisted that he has nothing to do with the moves to call an Emergency General Meeting. In his own words, Ahmad wrote to me (REALLY, TO YOU!?), 'I have nothing to do with calling the EGM my good friend. The Easdales are grown men and not anybody's pawns.' Ahmad says that should Dave King wish to buy a majority stake in Rangers he will facilitate the King efforts, subject to London Stock Exchange rules. The Ahmad email, which came directly from him (yes we have got this already), dropped into my in box a mere three minutes into Thursday morning (and just to confirm, it was definitely from Ahmed!?), after I revealed the bid to call an EGM and bulldoze one of the controversial Easdale brothers, along with slash and burn Cockney costcutter Chris Morgan, into the Blue Room as directors. It now remains to be seen if Imran Ahmad is as good as his word, his word which I have the irrefutable proof he has given However, there is no need to wait until Dave King has bought up a strong percentage of the Rangers shares before inviting King to join the board. In fact, such is the danger to Rangers, so perilously poised is the club, that the future of the club could depend on some of the men inside the Blue Room making a bold move. And making it now. For Rangers are in dire and desperate need of a strong man inside the Blue Room and it would be much better for the club if that strong man was a Rangers man with dough, rather than someone such as Chris Morgan, someone many believe would wreak havoc and damage the Rangers hopes of a march back to the top. And that man is surely Dave King! Walter Smith is the only man on the board who knows Dave King and understands just what a good Rangers man he is and what a stout and staunch ally he would if he was sitting with Smith around the Boardroom table. Which is why the time is ripe for Smith to move that Dave King be invited to join the board. Now! My information is that any such motion, proposed by Smith, would be seconded with alacrity by acting chief executive Craig Mather, whose £1M stake in Rangers means that he is the only director who has coughed up mega-money for his shareholding. That would then smoke out those who have dilly-dallied, swinging in the wind, first one way and then the other. It seems certain that any such motion, proposed by Smith, the only man on the board all Rangers supporters trust completely, and seconded by Mather, would soon be supported by financial director, Brian Stockbridge, who has also shelled out his own cash for a stake in Rangers, buying his shares at the going rate. Leaving non executive director and lifelong Rangers supporter, Ian Hart, with a big decision to make. There have been many mixed messages sent to me from a variety of sources regarding Hart. But now, for him, it is make your mind up time. Time for Ian Hart to pick a side. Leading on to chairman Malcolm Murray, the main target for those who want an EGM. Muray has not performed well. But now is his last shot at glory. His last chance to focus fully, to concentrate his mind, to stop vacillating and hiding behind corporate mumbo jumbo. It is chairman Malcolm Murray's last chance to speak for Rangers. And vote for Dave King. Such a move would go a long way to restoring Murray's tarnished reputation and pave the way for some sort of amicable agreement with him to be struck. That would leave Charles Green, who is due to leave the board in a fortnight and Phillip Cartmell and Bryan Smart out on a limb. I have no idea which way Smart would jump, but Cartmell is in the same boat as Murray as being targeted by the men who want an EGM. They want him out. And Cartmell is already under pressure inside the Blue Room for what some directors see as his dereliction of duty as a Rangers director. London based Cartmell has not even bothered to travel to Glasgow to sit around the boardroom table , preferring to just join in by conference call link. It is an entirely unsatisfactory state of affairs. And something which I am pretty sure will not meet with Walter Smith's approval. He is a man who likes to look you in the eye. Which can be an unnerving experience if he thinks you are trying to con him. But the bottom line is that if Ian Hart and chairman Murray man up and get behind any Walter Smith proposal, seconded by Craig Mather and backed by Brian Stockbridge, to invite Dave King, a man with proven Rangers credentials, an extremely wealthy man, a man committed to the cause and someone who is well able to handle any rough and tumble tactics the controversial Easdales or in-for-a-fast-buck Cockney costcutter Chris Morgan could throw at him, into the Blue Room, Rangers will be in better shape. At a stroke. While all the while King can sweep up the shares from the 60per cent of the Rangers shareholders who Imran Ahmad has told me are eager to sell. With, of course, the help of Imran Ahmad, which I have proof he has promised.
Mr David Cunningham King is ideally suited to that club. He has a lot in common with their dead predecessor, after all, given his apparent tax evasion activities in South Africa over many years but it seems that the SAR eventually caught up with him and he had to settle with them at a substantial cost in assets including his private plane! It also appears that he could still face hundreds of criminal charges though, so what better man for them? http://www.scotsman.com/the-scotsman/opinion/comment/tom-english-green-in-the-pink-for-now-1-2908425
Can King get control of Sevco ?? He was on the board of Rangers that died , wouldn't pass the for and proper test
Given the stench that would seem to hang over him from his South African ventures, one would be surprised (or maybe not) if he did pass as a fit and proper person ...
That isn't even the half of it with King. Philip White knew some of what King was up to. He was amongst the first on the tax case story. I heard him recently saying when he first knew he was on to it. I was surprised to hear it was that late. He was very close to it when he was looking into King. He just didnae join the dots.
Delightfully mental Imagine comparing the boardroom battles of a debt-ridden football club, mired in bigotry for 3 centuries, with the 2nd World War. The Myth is Field Marshall Montgomery But hey, Philmacgibberish is mental, so it's all grand
I only managed to read the first few paragraphs before I started projectile vomiting. The thick ****s on the Hun board didn't cotton on after the BBC expose either. In fact, Nev was still championing Whyte several weeks later.
The "vile abuse" aimed at Chris Hoy has been shown to be a lot of ****e. Frankie Boyle, Robert Florence and every other pro-indy person gets absolute mental abuse from Scots Unionists except Norn Irish, EDL and various other types of abhorrent ****s wade in as well. Highlighting Chris Hoy getting it tight is ridiculous - the worst thing I've seen him called is a "traitor", a "bigot" and a posh lad (I reckon he's all three for what it's worth). He went to a fee-paying school in Edinburgh where they sang "God Save the Queen" every morning. Meanwhile, Sturgeon got death threats from a Labour blogger - nobody reported this as far as I noticed - I should probably mention, I'm not an SNP supporter. Anything but. But I am pro-independence and the longer the campaign goes on, the more vehemently pro-independence I become when you read this ****e. Check this comment on The Scotsman's "damning" article about Hoy's "abuse". Spastics.
"Since the start of this nonsense, when I was tipped off in January 2012 that Craig Whyte was going to be exposed as a conman, as a shyster, as a thief," Thursday, 2 February 2012THE RANGERS CRISIS AND CRAIG WHYTE THERE can be little doubt that the Rangers crisis is just that…a crisis which is a real and present danger to the club. However, there can also be little room for doubt that the difficulties which engulf the Ibrox club are not of current owner and chairman, Craig Whyte’s making. Just how Rangers got into the state they are in is something which I shall turn my attention to tomorrow. And I can promise, I will name names and pull no punches. For the moment the more immediate problem is to try and clarify just how Whyte intends to get Rangers out of the mess he inherited. And that is where the crux of the problem really rests. For none of the business folk I have spoken to, can work out just what the Whyte blueprint is. Though many insist that there must be one, that Whyte must be working to a plan which will benefit both himself and Rangers. The two are tied together. If, for instance, Whyte’s long term strategy is to sell Rangers and make a profit, then to do that he must make the club debt free. Or at worst, reduce the debt to a few million. There would be nothing wrong in Whyte taking this course of action. After all, it is exactly what Fergus McCann did at Celtic and it worked a treat across the city. The problem is that even business people, whose minds are more finely attuned to such matters than mine, cannot see how Whyte can achieve this without Rangers having to suffer some serious pain. If they are right then, once again, that is not a problem of Whyte’s making, but the one he inherited. But surely, it is better for Rangers to suffer such pain for a year or two if the club can then emerge stronger? Surely that is better than the uncertainty which has dogged Rangers for the past four years, to continue? Whyte however, has another problem. That of perception. If some of Scotland’s best business brains can’t work out what his game plan and his end plan is, then the man in the street has no chance of doing so, far less we hacks. So, you are perfectly entitled to ask, why doesn’t Craig Whyte just come out and lay his game plan, his end plan, before the people? It is not so simple. If Whyte did that then he would be revealing his hand. And, as I have said before, Whyte is a poker player from the top drawer. To let the light shine on his plans would be to give the many dark and sinister forces which are anti Rangers and which have already worked and continue to, against the Ibrox club, a chance to block his scheme. I make no claim of having even an inkling as to what that game plan, Whyte’s end plan, is, but for there not to be one in place makes no sense. Without it there would have been no point in his takeover of Rangers. There would be nothing in it for him if there was nothing in it for Rangers. Think about that. Which means, for the moment, Rangers supporters have no option other than to trust Craig Whyte and give him their support, even if it is muted and reluctant. If they want someone on whom to vent their spleen, I will provide them with targets aplenty. HERE! TOMORROW!
