No orange strips for a while yet?
Thank the lord for that.
If they can't sign an agreement with Hummels what will they be wearing for the European tie? Or have I got this wrong?
Bruno Alves has left my mutual consent.
Nothing to do with Hummel as far as I know. This is about what retailer can sell the stripsQuote:

I’m guessing that the fact he pocketed £3m from Der Hun won’t count in his favour.
I’m also guessing that Hummel have already made a load of new replica tops and will be less than pleased at any delay getting them on sale.

He must be an interesting guy to work for-he certainly rewards loyalty at the top of the tree.
I remember that one too... seemed like a slam dunk and because they were unprepared the hun got off on a technicality.... something along those lines anyways...Quote:

High Command Football side or High Command Boardroom side?
Apparently one of their subs got pelters in the European tie for crossing himself when he came on.
Oh and The Sash got a good airing.
Wonder if Mr Gerrard is having second thoughts.
SG resigning would be just too good to be true. I expect they are directors but one can but hope...... :greengrinQuote:

Gerrard has no road out of Ibrox yet. If he had a soul his stomach would turn. I suspect his wallet controls his conscience. His first and dodgy flirtation with management is going to end in tears. Love it!!!!Quote:

He could still continue in his management roll without being a director.

If the Lying King is so skint, wouldn't the simplest solution be to order him to sell his shares (at 20p) and remove him from the board?
Was thinking he must have even more "off the radar" wealth than the meejah told us Craig Whyte had when he was the Messiah.Quote:

I await the outcome of tonight's titanic struggle against these European giants FC Pushover in that Macedonian temple of world football.
Defeat, and loss of European earnings, together with a potless principal, will surely bring grief and no little financial hardship to the mighty the the Rangers.
I'll have to away and lie down, the prospect of Ibrox meltdown is almost too much for me to hope for.
I thought it was quite a good decision tbh. If he does well, then he gets a great role in England. If he does badly, then the well known problems at Greyskull are a great excuse and he will still get a decent job in England.Quote:

Yes that is my interpretation - timing being the obvious pointer.Quote:

To be pedantic, he's no longer dealing with the TP. It's the Courts that are his problem now. :greengrinQuote:

Can't fault the man for knowing his 'customers' - the fact that what they see/hear from him is complete and utter keech is of no consequence to King !Quote:

Previously this might be a Club Statement but now it’s a Dave King Supporter Update.
EDIT: might also be the first time King has acknowledged ‘a minority of vociferous supporters’ who are against him. Seems like the stakes are getting higher.
How has he still not got a UK bank account?
How can he claim £11m is available when his QC pleads poverty to the court?
He is indeed a Trump. Just assume everything he says is a lie and you won’t go too far wrong.
Really sensible statement from a man facing a contempt of court hearing.Quote:

Today in Court( further to eJ’s posts)
Before Lord Bannatyne, Court 7, Parliament House.
Mr X ( I didn’t catch his name ) for the Takeover Panel,and one lawyer
Lord Davidson for the Respondent (Mr King), and two lawyers.
3 gentlemen of the Press, and eJ and I in the public gallery. No one else other than the Clerk,and the macer.
QC for the TOP: You will have seen, my Lord, the most recent ‘adjustments’ since 22nd June?
Lord B: (nods)
QC: I have three observations to make. First,The Respondent has not made an offer-nothing has been done since last April.
Secondly,the Court has already rejected the contention that there are no funds. The arguments are the same old arguments under a new guise. The Court is not about how the offer is to be made, but that it is made.
Third, on the Rangers FC website there is Dave King’s ‘supporters update’. I have a copy of it here, m’Lord , [ copy handed up]. The first page is about football, the second page is about off-field matters and the Takeover Panel. The second paragraph refers to South Africa, and funds……
Lord B: Yes, I saw it reported in the Times.
QC: ……. The delay has been caused by the Respondent.. there is the phrase ‘no end in sight’. And ‘no end in sight’? -it would be if there was compliance!
Lord B: I agree. I can’t personally deal but it could be by another judge in very short order: in a two-day hearing on 14 August.
I suggest I allow adjustment until August 7 , I imagine that there is nothing much more by way of ‘adjustment’. A proof. Whether discussion between Counsel could lead to an offer? Rather than King writing back and forth to the Takeover Panel?
QC: A two-day proof sounds about right. There might be a difficulty about dates ?
Lord B: Another judge has availability……Lord Davidson, have you anything to add?
Lord Davidson (QC for King): No, m’Lord.
Lord B: Can you agree that discussion with counsel could cut across the toing and froing? The Takeover Panel is interested only in compliance, not the ‘how’.
Lord Davidson: (smiling)My lord’s observations will be conveyed to Mr King. In his defence, the Takeover Panel contributed to delay by requiring him to move monies to the UK.
Lord B: I leave it to my Clerk to agree a date in August. I might have to impose a date, though.
Thank you.
Proceedings lasted no more than 20 minutes.
