News about Dave King

RANGERS interim chairman John Gilligan has urged Dave King to stop criticising the way the club is run, telling him to behave 'like a proper shareholder'. Based in South Africa, King claims the club are in crisis, launching a number of broadsides against the board of directors and offering to return as chairman after claiming the club required a cash injection of £50million to compete with Celtic.

IN the quiet confidence and composure of fresh-faced Arne Engels, Celtic supporters can see real glimmers of a future worth believing in. For those across the city of Glasgow, the same old names having the same old arguments over the same old issues just makes Rangers feel like a club stuck firmly in the past.

In 2018, the chairman of Rangers was Dave King. A man who could bandy words with the Dalai Lama, King was adept at lobbing verbal grenades towards the east end of Glasgow . These days he prefers to throw them at the people running his old club. Six years have passed since King predicted that Celtic would fold like a pack of cards if Rangers won a league title. When they finally did it in 2021, those words blew up in his face like a stick of dynamite in a Looney Tunes cartoon. While King spent this week firing out media barbs at the Ibrox investors he once led - challenging the lot of them to a square go - Celtic put the finishing touches to a set of financial figures showing a profit of £13.4million, an annual revenue of £124.6m and cash reserves of £77.2m. If that's the cards tumbling down, you'd hate to see them with a winning hand.

DAVE KING'S plan of returning to Rangers as chairman looks certain to fail - with the businessman facing significant boardroom resistance to the move. The Ibrox club require someone to fill the post on a permanent basis following news on Saturday that John Bennett has stepped down for health reasons. Former director John Gilligan has been named as interim chairman - but King is now keen to return to a position he held between 2015 and 2020.

WITH an increasing sense of regularity, Dave King continues to pop up and offer his views on the current malaise at Rangers, giving chapter and verse on what course of action the club should take moving forward.

Former Rangers chairman Dave King has dismissed reports that the club could be on the verge of a £150million takeover amid interest from American investors. A report published on Tuesday by City AM claimed that the Ibrox club have been targeted by a US consortium. It said that a number of existing shareholders at the club may be willing to sell if any proposed bidders were to meet their valuation.

The new football season has barely got started. And, for Rangers, it can't end soon enough. The Ibrox hierarchy have endured the week from hell. A £40million windfall was buried six foot under after the death of another Champions League campaign. A £4million life insurance premium went up in smoke when they failed to make the play-off round.

Maureen and Dave King, two seniors, bought the bungalow in the quiet village of Broad Oak near Canterbury, Kent, nine years ago, and enjoyed views of rolling fields and woodland.

A retired couple is furious because the building of new-build homes that tower over their back garden has ruined their dream home. Mauen and Dave King, who lived in Broad Oak, Kent, nine years ago, loved views of rolling fields, orchards, and woodland. However, the trees were ripped out and replaced by the two-and-a-half storey homes, which the couple have described as a 'eyesore'. When the grandparents first purchased the house, they expected they would never leave, spending thousands of pounds on gutting the house and reconstructing it for their retirement. However, the couple are now desperate to move after their picturesque views were ruined by the new 456-home estate being built next door.

Fraudsters are posing as police or court officials and cold-call victims, claiming they have failed to turn up for jury service. Scammers insist that a fine be paid in order to prevent arrest. According to one of the victims, he was persuaded to pay $2,000 after a two-hour ordeal that required him to speak with a'sergeant' who was able to recite hundreds of details, including addresses and case file numbers.

GARY KEOWN: There's only one issue, with Brendan Rodgers and Celtic proving their UEFA competition front and center as they sell his Second Coming to a fanbase who was determined to string him up in Glasgow Cross not so long ago. They did the same thing the first time around. And then, practically giving up on Europe entirely before the whole project sank in acrimony, finger pointing, and Brodge droning about other, larger clubs' increased funds and greater capacity, and how getting out of the Champions League qualifiers against mediocre outfits from the back of the continent was a huge achievement.' Let's face it. At Celtic, Rodgers failed for the first time. All available evidence indicates he will fail again in his second spin round, despite the fact that the block is to be based on a five-year plan with the ultimate aim of advancing to the European final.
