It's nice to see he is talking to Dave King, because according to his interview at the weekend he certainly isn't speaking to Craig Whyte (at least dor the last couple of weeks anyway)

and given the fact that Dave King was removed as a director a couple of weeks ago I can't imagine Craig Whyte being happy about it

I thought he had left the board? mind you that was suggested last week but radio Scotland the other night said there was a lot of uncertainty as to whether he had or not

pretty sure he was ousted in the last few weeks and this is The Herald just now.......


Their appearance sparked a flurry of fresh speculation about the future of the Ibrox club.
South Africa-based multi-millionaire King was spotted leaving the stadium with McCoist after the manager had held a meeting with administrators Duff and Phelps.
Castlemilk-born King, who invested 20 million pounds of his personal fortune in the club in 2000, was ousted as a director by current chairman Craig Whyte earlier this month.
The lifelong Rangers supporter is believed to be one of the interested buyers who have contacted the administrators since the Scottish champions were put into administration last Tuesday.
Paul Murray, another former director who lost his place on the board when Whyte took over in May, has admitted he is putting together a "Blue Knights" consortium to take over the club.
And Murray was involved with King and Scottish businessman Donald Park in a bid to take over the club before Whyte bought Sir David Murray's majority shareholding nine months ago.
The involvement of King, formerly the club's second largest shareholder, may not please all Rangers supporters.
The enigmatic businessman has been involved in a high-profile tax examination in his adopted homeland for the last decade.
The 55-year-old has been locked in an epic battle with the South African Revenue Service and has 322 criminal charges, including tax dodging, racketeering, extortion and money laundering hanging over him.
The long-running case is a result of a deal he did in 1998/99 which the state alleges earned him profits in excess of 180 million pounds.
King enjoys a lavish lifestyle in South Africa. He has a 7 million pound house in Johannesburg, another house beside the Indian Ocean, a couple of private jets and an interest in a stud farm with golfer Gary Player among other assets.
But the state is unequivocal in its opinion about the man from Glasgow who, according to legend, arrived in South Africa in 1976 with only 10 pounds in his pocket.
A judge, dismissing King's latest appeal last October against his tax liabilities, said he had "no respect for the truth and does not hesitate to lie if he thinks it will be to his advantage. He is a mendacious witness whose evidence should not be accepted on any issue unless it is supported by objective evidence. In our assessment, he is a glib and shameless liar."

I've been trying to find out what the story is and from what I can gather......Craig Whyte did e mail Dave King to dismiss him from the board of directors but after that corporate procedures weren't followed (now theres a surprise) so the dismissal is invalid and he is still on the board.
Dave King and Paul Murray along with others are in talks to join up and take over the club. Apparentky Dave King would have taken over the club from David Murray if it wasn't for the tax problems he has in South Africa.

Surely the last thing Rangers need is someone like Dave King taking over.

After seeing how Whyte has handled things I wouldn't quite say "the last thing" but certainly not a great option

Quite possibly the most uninteresting news footage you will ever watch. Man opens car, gets in and drives away. http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/17132094

[DEXTER]

The way it's going we're gonna end up with bloody Fred Goodwin running the club. You can't trust anybody involved at the minute.
