Warfare: Dave King launches blistering attack on Douglas Park and Ibrox directors

Dave King has launched a full on attack on Douglas Park. 

Two years ago the South African based criminal walked away as Chairman of the Tribute Act leaving a pile of loans and funding issues for Park and his boardroom colleagues to address. 

Over £100m has been put into the club in return for worthless shares, earlier this season King had a £5m loan repaid with interest. 

Park and the others in the Blue Room of unsurpassed dignity have remained silent about their former colleague but after a stinging attack they will be expected to answer back. 

Discussing the fan backlash over exporting the O** F*** to Australia King told The Herald: 

I am 100 per cent with all supporters on this. It is not something that I would have sanctioned if I was still on the board. 

Unfortunately, this is another in an increasingly long list of recent instances where the club has shown its indifference to supporter wishes and interests. 

The shoddy treatment of Club 1872, the firing of Mark Hateley, Richard Gough, Derek Johnstone, etc, as ambassadors, the unseemly spat with the football authorities to assist Douglas’s personal agenda, and the completely unnecessary loss of a manager that won title number 55 and would have successfully defended the title are among the concerns that have caught my attention. 

I have not spoken to Douglas since I stepped down as chairman but, as an ordinary supporter, I call on Douglas to reverse the cult of personality that has developed at the club and to remember that the present board are temporary custodians of the club on behalf of present and future generations of supporters. 

Recent success has unfortunately created short memories and supporters have every right to be concerned 

King gave his interview to the loyal and true Chris Jack of the Herald Group, one of the bought and paid for Ibrox media partners. At the weekend the former Ibrox chairman had a series of meetings in Glasgow arranged by Jim Traynor.

Later today Giovanni van Bronckhorst will host a media conference to which the Herald/Evening Times/Rangers Review are normally given access.  

King has been hoping to sell his 14% stake in the company to Club 1872 but is making slow progress with no other interest in his rapidly reducing shareholding.
