Personally I think assuming King wins control of the club, then his first priority should be to pay off MA and remove the need for any legal battles or even media battles with him.  Now is not the time to get embroiled in further mud slinging by current or past board members, they need to secure the club for the remainder of this season and try to get the focus back onto the football rather than the boardroom.

I agree SCO. Ashley's contracts will be watertight, and 'ripping them up' will no doubt cause more unnecessary pain.


Paul Murray has a lot to live up to and I'm far from certain he's the right man for the job, but the one thing he's said so far that's made sense is his statement saying that we need to smooth the waters and get representation at SFA/SPFL decision-making level. Many fans are totally against this, seeing the SFA/SPFL as no more than Peter Lawwell's lapdogs, but the only way that's going to change is if we get a man on the relevant boards too. There's more than one way to skin a shih tzu.

Do you guys think King will pass the fit and proper tests?  The rules seem fairly clear, will the SFA enforce their own rules or not??  I assume there is nothing to stop him buying shares and becoming the majority owner, in which case he can install his own team even if he cannot officially be a director, but it won't be ideal if he is barred from doing so!!

Not sure it matters if he's barred or not - I don't see King taking that much to do with the overall day-to-day running of the club anyway. He lives in South Africa, and I can't see him moving back to the UK long-term. He'll leave it up to Murray, Gilligan and a few more hand-picked board members to do the donkey work and he'll pop up himself every month or so. Or whenever there's a big Liverpool game to attend.

Seriously though, I hope to f*ck he has a plan for the future. And I hope to f*ck he lets us know what it is.
