Kris Boyd has launched an incredible attack on Dave King and the brown brogue and blazer brigade that are running Sevco into the ground.
A week ago the veteran striker saw close up exactly what King had created when he scored twice to send Graeme Murty to his first defeat as ‘permanent’ manager.
When King was pushing for regime change three years ago there was no mention of ‘Murty for Manager’ or January fire sales to keep the lights on at Ibrox.
Last week’s team looked beaten and demoralised from the first whistle as they realised that they’d be putting up with Murts for longer than suspected.
King of course was absent, the previous day the less than dynamic Stewart Robertson had presented Murts to the world media flanked by Director of Football Mark Allen who had impersonated the invisible man since getting fitted out for his blazer.
Boyd has been fairly restrained in his criticism of matters at Ibrox but a week after putting them to the sword on the park he put the boot in writing in The Sun.
“When Dave King swept to power he promised fans the earth,” Boyd recalled. “ The majority of them bought into his grand master-plan and backed the club with their hard-earned.
“For most of the past two years they have been prepared to give him and his board members the benefit of the doubt.
“Now they are starting to see through his false promises.
“When repeatedly asked to go to the well, supporters did just that in the hope it would benefit their club but, just what has King done for them since taking over?
“Not a lot. His reign has been blighted by one cock-up after another.
“There has been a real lack of class about the place in recent years.
“There are far too many hangers-on and so-called Rangers men cutting about the place in brown brogues and blue blazers. The club needs proper businessmen regardless of who they support. Not punters who once had a season-ticket for the Copland Road.
“Somebody needs to get a grip of the place and rid Rangers of the incompetence which is making them a laughing stock.
“If you are not up to the task then you should be shown the door.
“There are too many people within the walls of Ibrox who are not up to the task. They keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
“There is no leadership, no direction of where the club is going.
“I hate to say it, but you actually fear for the club’s future under the current regime.
“The fans are also starting to see through this sorry shower. They can view the bigger picture and it does not look good on or off the pitch.”
Boyd even made reference to the Court of Session ruling against King that leaves him with 21 days to comply with the ruling from the Takeover Appeal Board.
With time and money running out on King perhaps Boyd and other should have looked closer at the term glib and shameless liar as they cheered a RRM up the marble staircase three years ago.
