Charlie Saiz ponders the media circus surrounding Dave King…..<\/p>\n
So the King is back being paraded round the Scottish Mainstream Media Circus Tent in his immaculate new suit.
\nThe Feldman gaze may be the same, the dour,monotone delivery may be the same but the rest of us are being asked to believe this is a new man we have heralded before us.
\nThere’s a Bhoy at the back of the room shouting “but he’s a glib,shameless liar wearing the same brogues and tie as before”
\nBut the rest for the life of them just do not see it…or as the case may be simply do not want to say what they see for fear of retribution from the newly crowned King.
\nAfter all there is a Carvery laid on after with all the Succulent Lamb you can eat provided you like and more importantly see the suit.<\/p>\n
Perhaps Hans Christian Andersen was in fact a Modern Day Nostradamus when he penned his wee classic tale or perhaps it was the case he like some of the rest of us was that wee bit more aware of what he seen going on around him at the time of writing?
\nAfter all misinformation and manipulation of the press is not exactly a new phenomena is it?
\nEmperors,Kings,Leaders and Dictators alike have all used it at some point to push their own particular agendas forward.
\nDave King is no different in that respect he after all worked under a master of the dark art in David Murray.
\nSure Murray made mistakes at Old Rangers even the most die hard of Rangers fan now knows this but the press who he played and toyed with so well will not have a bad word uttered against the man.
\nOh no his Rangers suit hangs laundered in his Armoire immaculate as ever.<\/p>\n
Dave King it would appear from the off is going to be afforded much the same grace by our legions of “trusted” stenographers.
\nThey will lament on the \u00a320m Dave King sunk into Old Rangers as proof he is and always was the right man to take New Rangers forward.
\nWhat they will not do is tell you that \u00a320m came from his Ben Nevis Account at a time when he owed the South African Government over \u00a3200m in Tax.<\/p>\n
The Bhoy in the room can scream as loud as he wants to them it will make no difference.
\nThe fear of the Carvery being pulled will ensure that.<\/p>\n
Dave King as was said on Clyde yesterday by Hugh Keevins has served his punishment as regarding his being found guilty of 41 counts of deceit that have denied the South African Government over \u00a3200m in Tax.
\nThey were sending the man to jail for the rest of his life but instead agreed on a Financial get out of Jail Card costing a fraction of what he actually stole from them.<\/p>\n
This is not a man who has served his time Hugh this is a man who by his means of Deception had the Cash to buy his way out of Prison without serving a single day for his actions.
\nSame way as he had the Cash to throw \u00a320m into the bottomless pit that was Old Rangers under Murray.<\/p>\n
So when today I read of how much Scottish Football will benefit from the arrival of the New King in his new suit down Govan way please excuse me if I don’t have a wee shout from the back of the Circus Tent.<\/p>\n
After all all I see is Tax Dodging criminal wearing the same Brogues,Blazer and Tie as the old one that left them high and dry the last time.<\/p>\n
Celtic secured their biggest ever Shirt Deal this week, Aberdeen who I am led to believe are now Debt free and playing their best Football in 2 decades are pushing for the Title.
\nSeveral other Clubs are now financially sound and playing decent Football under Managers who wish to play a more expansive type of Football within their means.<\/p>\n
All of this has transpired in the Absence of Old Rangers.
\nThe Arms race David Murray created in the 90’s destroyed Scottish Football as a Contest no Club had a chance of Keeping up.
\nThe Press revelled in this ,they dined and grew fat on the Carvery set up by Murray.
\nThey ignored the void his Chequebook Policy created and derided Celtic as it nearly fell into the Abyss.<\/p>\n
It has taken our Game nearly 20 years to recover from this.
\nIt is the Clubs themselves who have launched their own recoveries not The SFA or The League as they have done little to assist them in the past 3 years since Rangers demise.<\/p>\n
Yet here they are the very same people who ignored the goings on in the past telling us to welcome back the very same People involved in causing the disparity in the first place.
\nAnd for what?<\/p>\n
So they can dine at our expense again.<\/p>\n
Aye right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
