I am hearing that elements within the Sevco High Command were desperate to find a solution to their Chairman problem.
An impeccably placed source has suggested that they even reached out to General Ashley.
Their wish was for Big Mike to exercise his rights as an RIFC shareholder and call for an EGM.
At that dignified conclave, the shareholders would have been asked to give a vote of no confidence in their chairman.
This would have left the Sevco High Command with cleans hands as Mr King got the Julius Caesar treatment.
I am told that the Sports Direct Proconsul did consider it.
However, he was advised against it, and he has decided to observe the corporate carnage at Sevco from afar.
Developing purge…

There has been an outbreak of journalism at the BBC:

Curious and curiouser….! Are we to believe that the Park group couldn’t find some shareholders to request an extraordinary AGM, they needed Ashley to do it? Surely they could have done it themselves or were they too scared to take on King?
I realize the only person with money here (other than Ashley) is Park but he can’t buy out King because he then would fall afoul of the 30% rule. Then again, even if someone could be found (someone stupid enough) then they need to pay King somewhere between 3-3.5M to buy out his stock.
As you say, developing story…..
Infamy….infamy….they’ve all got it for him……about as dignified as a pair of gutties at an orange walk.
Surely board members have enough shares between them to call a vote of no confidence? Or haven’t they got the bottle to deal with a potential backlash from some fans and the press?!
If I may, I would like to share an alternate account of current events, which sees Dave King being taken out for congratulatory drinks by the Takeover Panel…

This needs to slow down a bit so that I may be afforded the opportunity to rest my sides before the next hilarious instalment ….

i think £5m is enough to keep Big Mike at afar.
That’s a chilly shoulder getting colder,,,,Mike the knight is happy to eat popcorn as we are.
Thanks Phil,
DCKs effrontery is beyond the pale.The man has no shame and befits the septic club he fronts and affronts.The irony of another so called saviour indulging in the unscrupulous clandestine and illicit conduct attributed to his vilified predecessors is lost on the peepil.they really do deserve what is coming to them.Peace and pity be upon them.
Developing shambles still my favourite but developing purge a close second.
Ah,
Happy daze are here again.
It’s just wonderful watching them eat each other up and we didn’t need to do a single thing to help them along
Phil,
Things seem to be getting rather juicy indeed. Clusterfuck flavoured juice, perhaps. Certainly no smoothie as the arses of King & co will know…. this is one helluva bumpy ride for them.
Where does this end? Where to begin?!
Seriously, what direction do you see this going?
Hi Phil,
