Who is gullible enough to believe King statement that we won't spend money now but there will be money to spend in January?

Clearly trying to appease fans who can see we need (not want) a new (and much better) central defender. Not to mention the fact we lack a striker.

Some might say he's invested money already, and he may well have, but the reality is he promised last season to spend money and didn't. He said at the time we would spend when we were back in spl, again we haven't. Now he's kicking it down the line again.

I don't want club to get into financial trouble again but he claimed he would invest his own money for a net outlay of 20-30 million (his words, not mine) . Aside from directors loans he hasn't invested anything.

Some might also say he's sorted us out off the park. I don't see that either- all he's done is seize control and started a war with MA that is harmful to the clubs interests and will be for years to come. MA might be a detestable character but the way DK has approached the problems have added to them.

Basically I think its time those in charge of the club treat fans with respect and are honest about their plans for the club. DK promised spending so that people would buy season tickets, now that's done he comes up with a not now but later excuse.

For point of record the January transfer window is a harder and more expensive market than the preseason one- so where exactly are we going to find the players we can't find or afford now?

He has spent cash upwards of 15 mil some fans need to chill out.

No he hasn't. Directors loans is not investment. At some point he either gets his cash back or shares in club to the value. That isn't what he claimed he would do.

Am I really the only person who sees that DK is part of the problems of the club, not the solution?

He has spent? what amount omg where are you getting these mythical figures from? stop the lies please. At present i can only assume he has spent money on shares? but this is not clear due to him de-listing as is most of the other things he appears to do all done in the dark and not an open forum and perhaps 5mill under the name of the 2 guys form Hong Kong but that would be in "money laundering" if was his funds. due to him telling the South African tax man he was skint? he wouldn't would he?

If you actually read the full statement he states I don't think we are finished yet and we will keep money aside for January as well meaning more might be signed if the right players there and the magic hat wants them and strengthen in Jan if needed too people need to read rather than scanning over it and spouting drivel your point may well be correct long term however let's see what happens in this transfer window ( still 3 weeks approx to go) and then Jan too.

Said at the start of all this I was told at POTY we were to spend 4 million all in. Given what we've got and yes i agree a CH shouldve been priority i'd say we've probably spent all that on agents fees, signing on fees for free transfers and the comp payments for players.

Lack of merch sales has left us majorly short.

Mr. Nice who would you have incharge? Dave king has been a revelation since coming in, after all the crap that our club has came through most of it from the inside how can you not see the good work now being done. Would you rather someone like green, whyte or a representative of the fat man running us or would you like us just to fail. I love this club and no matter who we play the moment it kicks off I believe and I can't help it but that is why I love them and long may it continue.

Please acquaint me with where King has invested £15m? All I see is Directors loans and most of that from the three bears and then some funds from overseas supporters.

We are a side right now that is in desperate need of a quality centre back, not a geriatric that we have brought in and we need a striker. If it was across the City then, as has happened in the past, Desmond would fund a player or a loan signing of quality but all we get from King is bullshit. He is becoming as bad as Murray and his moonbeams.

If he doesn't have the funds then it is better that he is honest with the support!

Fairly typical of people on here- making personal attacks when they disagree.

For the record I am not uneducated- I have a master's degree. That doesn't make my view any more important.

It's not a case of who I'd like in charge, more a case of me questioning kings honesty, integrity and the way he has made the Ashley situation worse. But since you ask I would like a fan ownership model similar to what is being put place at hearts- fan owned not fan run.

Simple truth is no matter your opinion of king - he hasn't made the investment promised and he should be held to account and made to explain why. It's season ticket money and an empty squad that allowed all of our summer business - not his money like he promised.

Look at big picture- he lost his shares during administration and now has a controlling stake purchased on the cheap.

Where would we be without king? We'd still be in the championship getting asset stripped by Ashley and his men. Give they guy a break.

People really need to get a grip man, Simply stop supporting Rangers if yer just gony moan about everyfin aw the time, let Dave King do what he needs to do in his own time, instead of greetin about him no spendin any cash and moanin aboot everyfin else yous can think of.

Hey Mr Nice, maybe it's time you took yourself off and supported another club?

REAL supporters offer support to their club in good times and bad - right now we're going through good times in comparison to the past few years and that is all down to the current board including DK.

It's easy to mouth off opinions but it would be more readable if you actually looked at some of the facts, read the statements and looked at the progress.

Take the doom and gloom elsewhere - if you ain't happy put your own money in!

Mr nice, that's the worst post iv read on here, King has invested millions, as for starting a war with Ashley what planet are you on, this board are in a battle with him because of the shocking contracts that green gave him, thank god the Dave King and Paul Murray are there, they are doing a great job, do you not realise that rangers have been stripped bare, and this board is slowly turning things around on and off the park.

King has spent money, just not in transfer fees, he has spent it on the far more important matter and that is fighting back against Ashley. Until Mike Ashley is out of our club we will never be self sufficient, if we cannot generate income then we cannot spend. We are not an EPL club, we don't have a Russian or a Sheik, we don't have a multi million pound tv deal. Our main sources of income over the years are season tickets, merch and European football, two of these have not been available for years and will not be available for at least this season. No real money will be spent until Mike Ashley has been removed from our club. And why hasn't Mr King commented on this. he legally can't.

Fans need to realise that we nearly never had a club to support let the manager do what he's doing and I guarantee we will have a team that's special.

Couldn't agree more mr. nice. Unfortunately the vast majority on here see King as a hero for some reason.
