Ozy, is the cash flow problems on this article nor worse that most experts were reckoning?Quote:

November was what I had read, but it looks like they are going to need some serious funding sometime soon. However the more they win, the more fans will roll up to Ibrox for the home games. A nice little defeat sometime soon wouldn't go amissQuote:

It's great of King to acknowledge that we stitched them up a cracker.Quote:

They will probably rise above it, but, if I were in Dempster and Stubbs' shoes, I would be all over that like a ton of bricks. Don't let King have the last word.Quote:

They do which is probably why he has said it. He knows it will keep our hapless press busy for a few days while he is here.Quote:

In a normal environment, other media people would now be asking him about it. In other words, don't expect anyone to follow it up. :greengrin
It's on the STV news app and he is adamant the initial approach came from Hibs and then our stance changed.Quote:

Hibs made initial approach to Rangers over Scott Allan, Dave King claims
Thu, 10 Sep 2015 14:18:00 BST
Rangers chairman Dave King has claimed that Hibernian made the initial approach to the Ibrox club over the transfer of Scott Allan.
Highly-rated midfielder Allan moved from Hibernian to Celtic in August after weeks of uncertainty over the player’s future.
Rangers had made multiple bids for the 23-year-old before his switch to Glasgow’s East End but Hibernian rejected their offers, insisting they would not sell to a Championship promotion rival.
When confirming that Allan had submitted a written transfer request after a second Rangers offer was knocked back, Hibs had said that they had rejected two "unwelcome and uninvited" bids for the player. The club explained that they had "no wish to transfer a valuable player to strengthen a major rival in the battle to win the Championship and gain promotion to the Premiership".
Now, King has questioned the Edinburgh side’s public stance, claiming that Hibs had contacted Rangers to initiate talks over the possible sale of Allan.
When the initial bid was made from Rangers and rejected by their rivals, he said that the reply surprised him. He added that he was "very, very grateful" to Celtic for eventually signing Allan, saying the Parkhead club had "done Rangers a favour".
"Where I viewed it differently from Hibs was that the initial approach had really come from Hibs," King said.
"They said ‘we know you’re interested in Scott so if you do want to do business let’s do it quickly so we know where we stand’.
"We proceeded to do it quite quickly.
"We were therefore surprised when Hibs’ official response was ‘we will not sell to Rangers under any circumstances whatsoever’.
"We initially took that as a negotiating position to increase the price. It was only after another couple of rounds of negotiations that we understood they were really serious. No matter what we did they were not going to sell to us.
"Therefore, I’m very, very grateful to Celtic for taking him away from Hibs. They did us a favour rather than leaving him behind."
While saying he understood Hibs' eventual stance, he insisted they had initiated discussions.
"The initial one was a discussion with Hibs saying ‘Look, we’ve heard you’re interested in Scott Allan," King repeated. "I think [Rangers director] Paul Murray had made a statement to the media.
"[They said] ‘If you are interested, please come in and do business quickly so we know where we stand and can get a replacement’.
"That’s the invitation that we acted on. Clearly, at a later stage, someone at Hibs [changed that].
"As far as I’m concerned, Rangers acted correctly in all aspects and we’ve put it behind us.
"I’ve had a change of correspondence with them and I think we’re both happy there’s no issue to be carried forward.
Hibernian have yet to respond to King's claim.

Any possibility King might not be telling the truth? is it in his character?Quote:

SFA should be looking at this odious institution, new club, same drivel, same bully boy tactics.......Quote:

There are no facts to get straight Jim. King is a liarQuote:
