Is your view that King comes in in 2015 and that’s the end of the fight for control? Did you forget about Ashley and Rangers Retail, those are part of the old regime too.
If you actually read what he says none of it mentions C1872 were around in 2015, just that they were important in achieving regime change and more importantly, reengaging with fans.
It wasn’t until after 2016, after C1872 were formed, that we could begin issuing shares to external investors, including C1872, to allow us to solidify control and bring in the right investors.
In fact, at that point we didn’t even have control. Remember the anger after the 2016 AGM when McCoist never voted with his 1.25% and Resolution 11, to issue new shares, was defeated by just 0.4%?
In the following year, C1872 bought out Ashley, became the second largest shareholder in Rangers, then their votes enabled the issuing of new shares at the 2017 AGM, which brought in many of our current investors. This led to their shares being diluted to it’s current level, but was instrumental in achieving complete regime change.
