SFA statement said the board had received "specialist" (whatever that means) legal advice in Scotland and South Africa and could confirm King had passed the fit & proper person test.

I could be wrong here, but was Rod Petrie not part of the group which made this decision?

What I would like to know is how the SFA board came to this decision. What's the chances of that ever being made public? It stinks.

I can imagine the 'advice'

Q: "Can we get away with it?"
A: "Who's going to contest it? You're a law unto yourselves".

Bizarre interview with King in the Scotsman

http://www.scotsman.com/sport/footba...king-1-3780172

This bit in particular, about Ashley's call for a General meeting regarding his loan

The general meeting is a bit of a nonsense because the shareholders can’t tell the board how to behave

Isn't that how him and his pals got into power?

The shareholders own the company. They employ the board. Of course they can tell them how to behave.

The man is a crook and liar and a fantastist. The latest in a long line of self delusional self proclaimed saviours of this rancid and rotten institution.

King has allegedly given The Rangers 'emergency funding', i.e. another loan, just to keep the lights on for another month yet he's in the papers today claiming they are one of the financially strongest clubs in the world.

He's also publicly trying to shame McCoist into giving up his well paid gardening leave.

It was Douglas Park that gave them the £1.5m loan I think. As far as I can see the lying King has so far put in the square root of sod all into keeping them going. I hope that he is another in the mould of white and green. And I say well done Ally, a hun prick of the highest order but draining them for cash gets him some praise from me

Cheers, I did find it unlikely that King would put his hand in his pocket.

I know king is likely non resident, but does anyone know of he claims to be non domiciled in the UK?

They thought **** everyone else and that they could finish 2nd every year, take all the prize money on offer and leave other clubs behind.

That worked well for them then - I'm not sure of Aberdeen's agenda but it was a glorious opportunity to break the OF monopoly and yet they still control Scottish football.

They think they are a big club and tried to bully other clubs by demanding changes that other clubs didn't agree with. They therefore refused to agree on the money split thinking they would win with finishing second anyway and pull away from all the other clubs.

I dislike Aberdeen that much and have since the Miller and McLeish cheating days that I hope it snows there every day.

'How many clubs in the world don’t have debt? Our balance sheet is incredibly strong for any football club in the world' - are the Huns and the 'Charity Thieves' using the same scriptwriter to save money ??. Statement is exactly the same as what comes out of the PBS. 2_clubs with so much in common and none of it welcome in decent, honest and civilised society.

According to today's DR, it actually was King that supplied the latest emergency £1.5m loan.


Still waiting for his £50m/£30m/£20m investment (delete according to how recently he said it)

[weecounty hibby]

King has now loaned them £1.5m. Or one of his companies has. Let's hope that goes towards the losses incurred in Div1 next year

Dirty tricks by the SFA to ensure King was F and P.

Seems the SFA Professional Game Board met, discussed and approved Paul Murray as F and P , but when it came to King , the smaller SFA Board took that decision ,excluding a few people from the decision making process.

And, yes our Rod is on both Boards.

The three excluded were from lower leagues, right? Something stinks.......as usual.

[Radium]

from the article

The current PGB consists of Rod Petrie (Hibs), Neil Doncaster (SPFL), Ralph Topping (SPFL), Peter Lawwell (Celtic), Duncan Fraser (Aberdeen), Mike Mulraney (Alloa), Sandy Stables (Highland League), Andrew Waddell (Lowland League), Stewart Regan (SFA chief executive), Campbell Ogilvie (SFA President) and Alan McRae (first vice-president of the SFA).

The main SFA board consists of Regan, Ogilvie, McRae, Petrie, Barrie Jackson, the independent non-executive director, Peter Lawwell, Ralph Topping and Tom Johnston of the Junior FA.

So those removed from the decision were: Duncan Fraser (Aberdeen), Mike Mulraney (Alloa), Sandy Stables (Highland League), Andrew Waddell (Lowland League)

Ashley Vs King next stage.....

http://news.stv.tv/west-central/1321...ley-influence/

[Kavinho]

I've just picked up from the previous stv article that King is saying he made it clear that his investment was wholly dependant on him being passed as fit and proper by the sfa/spfl..

Is it outwith the bounds of possibility that those decision makers felt there was very real chance of a further collapse into armaggedon if they did not pass him, and felt as a result that they couldn't allow that to come to pass...?

As an alternative to Ashley's motion to repay him his dosh and release the securities held by Sports Direct, the Lying King is proposing a motion that the Rangers Board be instructed to renegotiate all Rangers/Sports Direct contracts.

Roll on the 12th June !

Excuse my ignoranc but if Ashley has a water tight contract can't he just say no?

The board of the wife and I are having a meeting with the bank and have instructed each other that we are renegotiating all mortgages and debts to a situation that benefits us.

Maybe King has been following the Greek financial saga too closely.

I think its just bluff from King, and Ashley will, if no repayments are forthcoming, enforce his claim on the Rangers secured properties.

The shareholders cannot say we " did'nt ken " if they vote against repaying Big Mike.

Dodgy Dave is a billionaire on a Craig whyte scale. He obviously doesn't deal in humble millions. Its all been explained a couple of times / messiahs later by the daily ****** and the BBC (other the rangers media outlets are available)

At least McCall is acknowledging that Rangers have caused all this - not that the article leads with this angle of course.
