Alan Nixon is reporting that the Easdale brothers are in talks with Dave King over a bid for power at Ibrox.

In the early months of 2015 King led from the front as the Three Bears ousted the Greenock based businessmen from the Blue Room on the back of a PR campaign pushed by supporter groups.

Five years later King walked away from his role as Chairman, in recent times he has been highly critical of the current board who have diluted his shareholding down to 14.12%.

An alliance with the Easdale’s would seem unlikely but on his Patreon account Nixon reports:

A court ruling has declared that a Rangers share block against the Easdale brothers is to be removed.

And that will mean that the Greenock brothers will have approximately 20 million shares returned to them.

The Easdale brothers are considering partnering with former Rangers chairman and shareholder Dave King and fans groups to become a significant control group within the club.

Talks between the Easdales and King have taken place. There is also a plan to bring in American investment to bid for control at Ibrox.

The Easdales and King have clashed in the past but now seem aligned and have a common aim of removing the current board.

Strangely, at 7pm on Tuesday no Scottish media outlet has touched the story which was published in mid-afternoon.

With Douglas Park stepping down as Chairman in April the two biggest individual shareholders, King being the other, aren’t represented on the company board which is now chaired by John Bennett.

    Absolute bargain, £25m for his shares in a company that loses £10m per annum whilst spending zero money on players in a record breaking season financially…

    Ah, it would be lovely to see the return of Dave King, and his infectious smile…

    🙁

    And his mental, public statements brought unintentional joy too.

    The
    “Glib And Shameless Liar”
    was totally right, I mean wrong, about that. eh, pack of card collapsing after Lawwell and Lennon masterminded sevco’s Title win under Slippy Steve!
    I don’t know where he got that from anyway.
    He COULD have been right, though! Scary thought!

      i agree lawell engineered the failure to win the 10 , he brought back lennon who didn’t have a clue as a manager , signed a weak dross keeper , upset the team and weakened them in heart and spirit , the ” Old Firm ” was the cash cow he protected , the sevco fans would have thrown in the towel if we won 10 as there was no way back ever corporate decision ,
