He knows what is going on, he’d have kept Gerrard- Dave King ready to rattle Ibrox board

Dave King is set to crank up the pressure on his old boardroom colleagues with a media offensive and public meetings with Club 1872.

With the board under pressure to sack Giovanni van Bronckhorst King will be relying heavily on the claim that if he had remained at the club Steven Gerrard wouldn’t have quit to join Aston Villa.

That claim can never be proved one way or another but while fans despair over van Bronckhorst staying in charge fuzzy images of Gerrard winning one trophy out of nine provide some comfort and hope for the future.

With the World Cup about to get underway there will be less media space for speculation over van Bronckhorst being sacked, yesterday Sky Sports broadcast an anniversary interview with the Dutchman which made it clear he’ll be in charge when the SPFL season resumes on December 15.

King will ramp up the noise through his favoured messengers, there will be speculation about an explosive AGM on December 6 but with a few attacks on the SPFL and SFA it will turn out to be a damp squib with a few dissenters outed as not being real Rainjurz men.

Since stepping down as chairman in March 2020 King has been trying to sell his shares to Club 1872 but with just over 6,000 contributors that isn’t going to happen. One offer for his 16% stake in the company and King will barely be heard from again.
