    Your technical capabilities are clearly better than mine. Thanks for that.

    Okay, I'm with you... Hibs should respond.

    Either we did make an initial approach or we didn't make an initial approach. After all that happened, I think we all want to know from the horse's mouth that we didn't. There's a simple way to get the facts straight.

    I suspect if hibs do respond it'll be another well worded statement. I'd like to see them name dropping the south African judge that labelled king a glib and shameless liar.

    Dempster has now responded confirming it's rubbish.

    Its' on the Record Website now but I cant post links for some reason....

    I don't doubt that and that's not the worst of his 'frailties'. I just wouldn't like him to have the last word and the issue left hanging in the air. Looking at the other recent post, LD has responded so matter closed as far as I'm concerned.

    Dempster being quoted on Twitter too. "I can confirm that Mr King's version of events is not correct." More glib and shameless lying from The Lying King.

    Hibs chief executive Leeann Dempster said: "I took the initial call from Rangers.

    SNS Group Dave King claimed Hibs had tried to sell Scott Allan to Rangers
    Dave King claimed Hibs had tried to sell Scott Allan to Rangers

    "I can confirm that Mr King's version of events is not correct."

    Hibs boss Alan Stubbs said: "There is not much I can say to that.

    "I think everybody knows what the facts are.

    "I have said all along that we do not speak about players from other clubs and Scott Allan is not our player any more. I find the timing of it all a bit strange."

    It wouldn't surprise me if Hibs contacted Rangers after all the leaks to the press & said something along the lines of, " If you're interested in SA please go through the official channels & make a formal approach/offer. Please stop using the media to undermine our player." The glib & shameless liar then distorts such a statement.

    Excellent. An adequate response delivering the contempt King's statement deserves. If they're doing stuff like this now with a 9 point lead I hate to think what they'll be like when the wheels come off their title bid and we've caught them up.

    Or.... given the crap advice SA got from his agent..... it's not beyond possibility that the agent got in touch with Rangers, either telling them porkies that Hibs wanted to sell or, worse, masquerading as Hibs.

    Unless there is documentary evidence out there, this is one that isn't going to be proven either way.

    Might not be able to be proven either way but one statement comes from a known tax cheat and someone who a judge called a glib and shameless liar. The other from a well respected and thought of business woman with no records for tax fraud or lying 😉


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    Dempster or King not telling the truth ?

    Exactly ...... though I would have preferred LD's response to have said 'Mr King's claim is nonsense'

    Whatever happened we win either way: If Hibs did make the initial approach to Sevco, then our position afterwards can only mean we did so to provoke a bidding war and we have made them look a right bunch of mugs. If we didn't and King cant prove we did then once again he confirms his reputation as a proven liar is well founded and well deserved.

    My money is on option 2 ....... Though I would prefer option 1

    Meanwhile, King indicated there's no need for further investment from shareholders this season unless it is to bolster the playing squad. At the moment we are well funded through to the end of the season, we are ahead of where we thought we might be.

    have you ever heard someone who is telling the truth, use the phrase "where I differ from X is?"

    It's a strange turn of phrase -- not one that is in the least bit convincing from someone trying to make a truthful point

    My thoughts exactly, he's not exactly known for his honesty. It has to be said that of all the total ****ers who have been associated with Rangers/Sevco over the years, he surely has to be the very aptly named King ****er

    Not
    Remember that the article is quoting Dave King, so it's likely to be as accurate as one of his tax returns.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    That's not about the ownership. That's about the security.

    Funny that it's taken them until now to raise it.

    Peculiar, although I am smiling.

    All through the company whilst it was trading, the administration, and thus far in the liquidation, I don't remember this lot being mentioned when it came to security. There was talk of CW having it, and Ticketus, all of which came to naught.

    I'm not saying that they don't. .....this story has had too many twists to rule it out. ...but my questions would be "if you had a genuine claim, why didn't you exercise it before the company went into administration? And why did you not lodge a claim in the administration? "
