Furious Keith Jackson slaughters the three main characters in Ibrox Civil War

Keith Jackson has slammed everyone involved in the Ibrox Civil War. Who he sides with is now impossible to tell. 

When Dave King came to power in March 2015 Paul Murray praised the courageous journalism of the Daily Record (mainly Jackson) in convincing the bears that King was their Fergus McCann figure, leading them away from the bad guys to business and footballing success. 

The problem with that theory was that McCann wasn’t on the WANTED LIST of the Canadian Revenue Agency and his 1994 Celtic takeover wasn’t heavily sanctioned by the Takeover Commission. 

Despite the constant issuing of new shares King remains a significant ‘investor’ at Ibrox but has little chance of getting his money back as subscriptions to Club 1872 plunge month by month. 

Over the last week the bad blood has exploded through an exchange of statements that has left fans as divided as Jackson over which side is the most loyal and true. 

Splashing his anger in various directions in the Daily Record, their chief sports reporter writes: 

King probably thought he was pulling some kind of flanker last week when allowed his latest cash offer to become public knowledge. 

He wanted it to be known that he is prepared to stump up as much as £3million to cover the cost of ripping up the contract to participate in big Ange Postecoglou ’s flying circus but, not for the first time, his actions were disingenuous at best. 

His offer to bail out the board was little more than a crass publicity stunt aimed at causing Park as much discomfort as possible. 

The relationship between this pair has broken down to such an extent King calculated there was never any realistic chance of having to part with any of his money and, predictably enough, Park duly played his part by booting it straight into touch. 

In doing so, Park effectively stated that he would rather do business with his club’s biggest rivals than allow King back into his inner sanctum. 

But the sheer pettiness of this unseemly squabble belongs more to the playground than the boardroom. 

If only there was an executive worthy of the name then Park and King might be reined in and told to put the club’s best interests before those of their own. But don’t hold your breath waiting for managing director Stewart Robertson to intervene or to suddenly find his voice amidst all this tub-thumping and bloodletting.

Robertson knows better than to pipe up and put his own lucrative position in harm’s way. 

Yesterday Jorg Albertz made a very serious allegation about the standards of the Daily Record/Sunday Mail.
