It was the typical action of a man described as a glib and shameless liar by a South African judge.
Having talked Steven Gerrard into become the latest manager of Sevco the inevitable question was how would the new revolution be funded.
Rather than answer that question King promised to host a media conference on Monday where it is assumed that he will discuss the investment needed for the former Liverpool youth coach.
That is assuming that the Sevco chairman keeps his promise to attend the media conference, going by his track record it wouldn’t be a surprise if it unexpectedly had to be called off.
After ducking and diving from the city regulators for over three years it seems that justice is catching up with the son of a Castlemilk policeman.
The Takeover Board have brought in the Court of Session in an attempt to get King to offer 20p per share to those shareholders outwith his concert party.
Typical of King he ignored that ruling, no prospectus has been issued, no money deposited in an escrow account.
Instad he produced an advert promising an offer by April 26 based on some dividends coming up in the South African stock market.
True to form that deadline passed without any attempt to make an offer to shareholders.
Two days before the triumphant announcement about Gerrard two directors closely associated with King decided to walk away from the blue room. Paul Murray wouldn’t have made that move lightly- not on the back of watching a 5-0 hammering from the Directors Box at Celtic Park.
Rumours abound about other directors about to resign to cut their connections with the toxic South African criminal.
Moonbeams are expected to be on the menu tomorrow to rally season ticket sales but it wouldn’t be the biggest surprise ever if King slipped out the back door basking in the acclaim of sitting next to Gerrard under the spotlight of the UK sports media.
