Generic Sevco / Rangers meltdown thread

[CentreLine]

A brief mention in the record of the postponement of the contempt case today but otherwise not a peep from the SMSM in the significance of this case. Does this man need to shoot the queen (metaphorically speaking) before anyone takes notice.

Why has it been put back 24 hours? The link above just takes you to a DR apology.

Newcastle were close to bankruptcy under Shepherd. You could be in the same position as Leeds now.

I accept Ashley has made a lot of mistakes, but the fans have made things harder. The 'Pardew Out' campaign wasn't their finest hour.

NUFC being where Leeds are now would be infinitely preferable to a very large section of the support, tens of thousands of whom have racked in their season tickets to be replaced by 'happy clappers'; were we in Leeds' shoes, at least I'd still have a club to support.

We'll have to agree to disagree on your 2nd sentence.

Story appears to have been taken down and they are still running the story that King is in court today http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-chairman-dave-king-under-6976342
Surely the DR wouldn't put up an erroneous report.

John James site reported it yesterday, just checked and it's been removed from there as well.

Edit. Still on the JJ site but under the comments part of story.

Doleman has just tweeted that it has been deferred until tomorrow.

For clarification, the case is not against King personally, it's against RIFC.

Back to my original question. Why has it been deferred?

No idea. Possibly as simple as log-jam of cases.

What difference would this make in the big scheme of things?

My first thought is that it would be easier to find faut with RIFC, rather than King himself (as he could deny personal involvement?), and easier (if it goes MA's way) to withold money due to RIFC than chasing King for money?

Not sure, TBH.

I was making the point, though, that people seem to be assuming that DK is for the jail if SD win the case. Not sure that would be the case. If the judgement is against RIFC, it's they who would be punished, not necessarily DK.

I would agree it's must be easier to find fault with Sevco rather than King specifically. Even now the Daily Record are still releasing new details of the deal. These can only have been leaked by Sevco or SD. It should be easy enough to convince the judge it was not SD.

I wonder if there are last minute negotiations going on to settle.

Almost certainly not. Ashley wants him jailed and completely humiliated, even though this is costing MA a pretty penny in lawyers' fees.

Come on folks, almost 5000 genuine fans of the Scottish game have signed the Petition which calls upon the SFA to act.

It doesn't cost anything.

Lets hear from you fellow Hi bees who care about the integrity of the game.

Shocking. It makes you almost want Sevco to stick one up him ........................ nah, a moment of weakness but I'll get over it. I wonder how many Sevco supporters work at Sports Direct.

When I see Sports Direct v Rangers, Ashley v King in courts, I think: there is a god.

Yep all the makings of the rumble in the jungle. Just throw them some boxing gloves and get it over with.

The thing I like about him is that in his dealings with the the rangers he is basically behaving in the same way as they have for decades, but he is a very big fish in their dirty pool, he is at least transparent in what he is doing, not pretending to be a paragon of virtue when he's not. He seems to pay his way as well so he's already ahead of two Scottish teams and the people that run them.

Whatever his motives, he is just the guy to flush out the murky goings on at the SFA and the now defunct Glasgow rangers at the critical stages that seen King emerge as fit and proper and also perhaps cast some light in the deal that sneaked the rangers back in the way they did, titles intact, so he might even be indirectly doing the rest of us a favour revealing that which we don't have the resources to pursue.

Stuart Regan on Radio Scotland saying the he didn't say that Scottish Football was facing armageddon, only that "some might say Scottish football is facing armageddon". So I can be getting on a plane and remark "some might say there's a bomb on board", and as I'm taken away, I'll express my shock as "I didn't say there was a bomb on board!". The magical "some might say" clause - must work in a similar fashion to the Warburton "respectfully..." clause.
