King says the courts are bullying him. It's the courts ffs. They don't bully, they ensure the law is upheld.
The man's arrogance to suggest that he'll do what's in the best interests of the club and it's supporters whilst sticking two fingers up at the courts beggars belief. To me that is asking for a spell at Her Majesty's pleasure.
He's actually saying that he and his club are above the law. Being above the law, or rather thinking they wer, is what killed the first club by that name. Oh, of course, King was involved in that too. Fit and proper?
As for saying that he lives in South Africa and the courts should take that into account, he should be given plenty of time to think that one through, at Her Majesty's pleasure. He operates a company, yes a company which incorporates a club, one and the same thing, in THIS country therefore subject to this country's laws. Arrogant clunt seems to think that we, the country, should bend over backwards to let him do what he likes from afar. Sheer bloody arrogance that needs choped down at the knees.
So the SFA's role in all this? Silence, not a cheep. Where is the bringing the game into disrepute charge? Surely being charged with contempt of court for not following the law by actually owning the club/ company in accordance with company law is breaking some SFA rules let alone bringing the game into disrepute. What about the telling lies by the previous club/ company to secure UEFA licence - all gone quiet there?
Come on SFA, do the right thing and govern our game properly. Or do you still fear armaggedon?
