Mr King and the importance of being invincible

It would appear that Mr David Cunningham King has finally realised that this Takeover Panel thingy IS rather serious.

I understand that he really wouldn’t mind now if the Ibrox clientele decided to purchase his shares.

However, there are a few problems before those lovely folk at Club 1872 can make a Quintessentially British move on that.

Firstly, it is understood that there is not enough money in the coffers of that organisation to make, say, a 20p per share offer, to Mr King.

Secondly, the recent unfortunate resignations  from the board of Club 1872 might provide some governance issues apropos taking important decisions.

Thirdly, I am told that the subscriptions are down recently.

This is all very sad.

Moreover, I am told that another issue that’s currently perplexing the South African based entrepreneur is the recent statement from the Holding Company vehicle.

That communique purported to come from him.

If someone intrepid stenographer wants to visit him in his wine cellar then they might want to ask him about that.

It must now seem a very long time since Mr King thought he was invincible.

For the avoidance of doubt dear reader, he isn’t.

You need to be really good to be invincible.

  1. Better just leave the invincible tag…
    Take that away and it’s a short drop down the alphabetically ordered euphemisms to get to infalability….
    Can you imagine what that would do to the season ticket sales….!!!

  2. Surely no governance issues with James Blair holding the fort?

    Would Mr King not just gift his shareholding to Club Tropicana ……….would that make the TAB ruling go away or has that horse already bolted?
    There seems to be a great swell of unfounded optimism over Govan way, perhaps more relief that the season is over, well their’s is any way!
    Pedro is about to dispense of The Hat’s Galacticos, well most of them, and build his team around Rossiter and Niko with Weiss coming to the show and Wallace being paraded as a new signing. Perhaps Heneghen and Moult from Well with the Aberdeen captain also on their way.
    Aberdeen have some fine players but I can’t for the life of me remember watching them and thinking that Ryan Jack is top notch. Hayes, McLean, Rooney yep, Jack not so much.
    Add in a sprinkle of youth being promoted from the ranks, youth teams that were unable to compete in their own age ranks, and hey presto that’s it.
    What Pedro brings to the table isn’t clear but sure as hell it’s fun listening to or reading
    his press statements…..no matter how you juggle around his words of wisdom it’s difficult to make any sense of them so with football players not renowned for being the brightest no wonder some of them look lost.
    I doubt if Pedro’s rag tag army of Bosman ‘ s, youth, and walking wounded will be giving Brendan sleepless nights.
    The focus next season will be onwards and upwards. Same again domestically Brendan and European football after Xmas please.

  3. SAF famously said that the run-in towards the end of the season is “squeaky-bum time”.. looks like Dave king’s afraid of the follow-through in that photo!

  4. I think the appropriate word is Invisible. He seems to be either great at hide and seek or is just not visible to the naked eye…..wine cellar will be emptying soon if the myth followers don’t buy into Pedro’s vision ??
