Some good comment form Dave today.
"Right now, we don't have a player plan because Steven hasn't really looked at it."
"...depends on how many of the players Steven wants to keep. We haven't even discussed it" and on the transfer budget "We don't put figures on that because we can't".

Dave King: Share issue to provide Rangers with £6m

Spoiler: click to toggle
A bit more in the Sky version

King said: "I met with [company secretary] James Blair on Saturday and we have given the go-ahead for the share issue to commence immediately.

"I said, let's accept the Takeover Panel will not be resolved in the next couple of weeks, let's go ahead with the rights issue as it with the restrictions I have in participating."


King gave a personal promise to increase his investment.

"I have to do that, I have already done that, in advance of next season," he said. "Because we continue to run at a deficit, deliberately, we have to satisfy the licensing authorities, the SFA, UEFA, that you have sufficient funds to fund your deficit.

"So we have had to give cash guarantees in advance of next season. So whether we raised money in a rights issue or not, we are in for the money, I am in for the money, I am underpinning the cash. The club is fully funded for next season."

The Glasgow-born businessman continued to claim that the Takeover Panel dispute would not affect the club.

At this rate the current incumbents of Ibrox won’t be able to raise enough dosh to turn the lights on for the 2019/20 season.

Rang3rs anyone?

Notable short tenures in UK football:

Henning Berg - Blackburn (57 days, 2012)
Brian Clough – Leeds United (44 days, 1974)
Alex McLeish - Nottingham Forest (40 days, 2012)
Steve Coppell – Manchester City (33 days, 1996)

Steven Gerrard - Sevco (?? days, 2018)
Missed Jock at Leeds. Also 44 days.
Seem to remember Paul Hart at the London rangers barely having time to try out his chair before being handed his p45

Imagine your wife took up with a gangster and serious threats were made on your well being at the same time your protector has suddenly been removed from the picture. Then a job offer in another country comes up that removes you from harms way and keeps you in the public eye at the same time.

Would you be bothered about the finer points of that timely job offer?

Dunno if already posted but looking like further evidence of there being more to Gerrard leaving Liverpool than football reasons -

Its not an insignificant development.

I'm speculating of course but all the coverage of SG at Ibrox has brought his links to this Kinsella fella back to the headlines. I'm sure the fella that Kinsella was supposed to have gotten off SG's back is delighted that its all being raked back up again - making him look like small fry in Liverpool.


You should see if there's a reward available from the Merseyside cops.

Leaving aside the difficulty of doing a share issue while subject to a TOP ruling as mentioned above

They passed a resolution at their AGM allowing about 108 million new shares to be issued

Assume they are priced at 25p... “selling “ all 108 million shares raises £27 million
However... you then effectively gift shares to the directors who have ponied up loans... deduct £17 million

Take away about £1 million in costs

Pay back Close Bros £3 million

That leaves up to £6 million “raised” in cash after the loans are treated as purchases and converted to shares

And that assumes they can “sell” the shares which aren’t just being converted to equity

Will Club 1872 be daft enough to use whatever funds they hold to buy shares at that price to stop the share issue immediately diluting the value of what they hold ??
Agree with this in principle, Jim, but with a couple of provisos...

- If King just offers the shares to investors, it won’t cost £1m, as there would be no need for a nomad or a prospectus.

- and due to the volume of shares involved, the investors could virtually name their price, which I reckon will be a lot less than 25p.

If King intends to convert loans to equity, there might be nothing left, let alone £6m. Notwithstanding TOP’s intervention, as you suggest. And of course existing shareholders will see their value reduced significantly.

The Huns are sheer comedy.

After this massive let down, they’re now adding up player sales to top up Stevie G’s warchest.

There will obviously be a massive queue of clubs lining up with open cheque books to take all their shampooe ha ha ha

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
The TSB have it at the top of their to do list
You could always refer him to your bank and receive £100 for getting the bank a new customer.

Who's up for that?
I think you're on to something there.
If there are any timposters on here who may be thinking of outing themselves, I would start with this.

C'mon fellow berzzz, if everyone moves their bank account to First Direct we get £100 each x 50,000 = £5 mullion to hand over to Mr King for safe keeping.

Doesn't seem such a stupid plan after all. :cry:

Is that how it works then - you just explain to the SFA you're funding the club and they give you a licensing thumbs-up? eff knows what King's really saying here, you widnae buy a used car off him.

Also it appears SG will be working in Glasgow with the wife and kids still back in Liverpool. Bearing in mind it was threats to his family that allegedly stopped his move to Chelsea in 2005 and the wife/family were the victims of an aggravated burglary in 2007 when he was away in Europe with Liverpool, it doesn't seem to me that those arrangements will last very long.

I'd be amazed if he was there at the end of next season
The August 2018 end or the May 2019 end?
