That's Dave King away, sold his shares to Gers supporters group.

Don't know if that will be a good move .

Opinions guys.

Concerning, 13 million pounds requires to be raised by fans. Who will be chair if they own 25%.

It was always his intention and the fans being in control is what is best for going fwd.

They have 3 years to complete. Can they raise £13m in 3 years? Not so sure.

Very interesting to see he has agreed to sell at 20p a share. Scotsman saying he is selling at big loss as shares r worth 50p at present.
Where they getting that valuation.
I’m told my shares valued at 18p a share.

Personally I would prefer a major shareholder being in control, a Murray type obviously but with more care, I would even have considered Murray himself if I thought he would improve our lot.

Given some of the fan opinions on these pages I'd much rather a businessman was running the show than a fans group. Just my opinion though troops.

I think dave king is undoubtedly doing the correct thing by selling his shares to the rangers supporters. Without question for me the correct decision moving forward.
Our supporters are the lifeblood and will never again be at the mercy of leeches 👍.

so he is giving them 3 years to pay up (if they can) .

I'm in same frame of mind as Tomthumb on that.

Not sure about this. It's great news knowing that we can buy a part of the club, but too many chiefs involved might cause problems. What if club 1872 has fifty big shareholders along with mccoist who's got about a million quids worth, then the rest of the unknowns. How can we have a meeting if there's about 500 of us. Anyhoo, three years to raise 13 million quid. Next year I might chip in a couple of grand. A small stake is better than none. I think that works out about ten thousand shares. What rights or say would I have? Would I be invited to meetings, dinners or conferences. Would I make any money from my investment? Lots of questions coming up. Was this the right time to announce it?

I believe clubs should have a voice from the fans but surely the fans group can't all be singing from the same hymn sheet regarding making decisions etc if they were in overall control?

We need one guy running the club who knows everything about the club from inside to out, like Buzz! 😂😂.

I am not liking this idea at all tho I can’t see them getting 13 million to be honest anyway.

I must admit I don’t know much about this fan group but it would be a no for me.

The answer rossco3001 is you won’t have any say a for a couple of grand, except when it come to electing a president of the supporters group, I think it’s a very slippery slope, a fans owned club sounds great but in reality it could cause mayhem between fans fellow supporters groups. I think supporters owning the stadium and training facilities in order to protect them things is a great idea but fans can be emotional, irrational and sometimes can’t see the wood for the trees and those things aren’t good for the business side of things.

You could be right Highland mate,

Just imagine if them over on the dark sides green brigade had 50% of their club .

Would be a shutdown.

KJA9 if they can’t raise £13m in 3 years to buy the controlling stake in the club then I’m with you cause how would they raise money for players, wages and general maintenance of the stadium training facilities and so on. The reason we’re getting directors loans is cause nobody else would give us the money. We as a club are definitely turning the corner but there’s a long way to go before we’re self sufficient so now just doesn’t seem like the right time for me.

Read all of the replies. I think this announcement at this time is a bad idea. Yes the fans can own some of what they love, but for the serious investors, say 50k and up, what is the business plan. Would the money have a return or is it just the prestige of having shares? What would happen if someone like Ashley, through an unknown business or partnered enterprise, buys up 5million quids worth? Dave king has had the right idea, but efforts must be in place to safeguard that the right buyers buy. What if Dermot Desmond bought some? Who is controlling the sales of shares to whom we sell? Will they be checked. Big questions. Say I invested a million quid in Celtic. I'd have say on their business dealings for example even though I'm a rangers man. Care must be taken. I'm sure the business men involved are up to date. Not like the ones who caused our downfall. Care and beware.

The first point I would make is, I don't believe that Dave King would do anything that is detrimental to the well being of our Club. If Club 1872 by virtue of this share offer from Mr King become the major force, then, surely they would appoint a Chairman with a sound business brain to run things, our current Chairman fits that bill, I see no need for concern to be honest.
