A gentleman that’s going round Turning the joint upside down

There’s a gentleman that’s going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon – ha-cha-cha-cha
He’s an old ex-con that’s been away
Now he’s back, no one’s safe

It’s quite likely that David Grier and Craig Whyte had many conversations they didn’t want replayed on BBC Reporting Scotland.  Their deal to acquire Rangers from Sir David Murray and Lloyds Banking Group would have required many scenarios to be considered, some of which would certainly be unpalatable.  So with this in mind, Grier may have been comfortable discussing strategy with Whyte when the latter recorded their conversation in May this year.  They had been in the proverbial trenches together before and at one time would have had a bond of trust.

What frankly beggars belief is that either party would consider this bond to be still in place a month after Duff and Phelps sued Craig Whyte’s company for £25m.  It’s even more surprising that Mr Grier and Mr Whyte were on such convivial terms – chatting liberally in a restaurant about such a serious matter – while they were supposed to be on opposite sides of a £25m legal action.

We now know that Rangers administration went miles off track soon after it started. Whyte, as we predicted back in October last year, hoped to present creditors and Scottish football with a fait accompli.  Duff and Phelps were to complete the task within days for a fixed fee of a fraction of what they eventually raised.

Instead Duff and Phelps fee increased by a factor of six, Whyte lost control of events and inherited a great deal of litigation, not to mention a police inquiry.  Duff and Phelps must now prepare to tell the truth to Lord Hodge next week.  There are millions of pounds at play here and anything short of the truth could land them in heaps of trouble.

Credit to Mark Daly and Reporting Scotland for landing the recording.  The BBC are taking a pounding this month but this was a stunning item for an evening news bulletin to present.

Craig Whyte, you will remember, threatened to sue Daly last year and managed to convince the hard of thinking that Daly, and the BBC, were victimising Rangers by dishing the dirt on Whyte.  Some still adhere to this belief, despite now realising their Messiah was just a naughty boy, it’s a cognitive dissonance thing.  Another lesson that football fans are fools for bombast.

After all the talk then they wired him
And he took a walk with his crooked friends
And they joked about the good old days
And he recorded it on a reel of tape
He caught the mug who did in the forgery
And the babe in charge of larceny

We have to wonder what liquidators BDO will make of Duff and Phelps actions when they take over next week.  Ha-cha-cha-cha.

    It’s no like that the brotherhood are going to show their hand is it.

    Aye, not before feckin time :>)

     

     

    I mailed a couple of members of the goatbreeders back in scotland earlier tonight to see what their take on things are, one got back, and his response was hopefull ish, minty is not well liked in certain circles, that has been well know for long enough, but it seems that if things take turns that certain people don’t want to turn, things for him might just look as rosy are they are presently, it’s all about saving face, and he with his dealings, that possibly get some involved, who don’t what to be involved will not be best pleased, if that makes sence.

     

     

    I think you know what I am trying to say :>)

    When I saw the post from Celtic First ,I didn’t think the Police in Barcelona were like that,But after the game I could see where Celtic First was coming from.

     

     

    We were diverted about a mile from where you.Myself. And a few others were having a drink,we managed to do the mile hike,but it was unjust.And they were out of order when they funneled 1000s into one stairwell,a recipe for catastrophe in any ones books,but the supporters never took the bait.

     

     

    dena29.

     

    When I was reading back the blog I read about the problems your nephew had at the game,I hope it’s solved ASAP, and your nephew is home with his family.

    TET,

     

    think I’ve got a wee clue :o)

     

    Was reading that kds posted by St John D….., and thinking more than moonbeams and grier had to be involved, media control needs to happen too.

     

    Also put the idea in my heed that moonbeams using ticketus giving them a couple of decent pays fits with a big hussle

    Obviously hunman will tie this to an Opus Dei conspiracy to destroy their totally irrelevant club. They were not liked or respected anywhere, least of all here, as all the Scottish clubs had to put up with their utter destructive nonsense.

     

     

    A fine day tonight indeed.

    I will, anything that causes them more humiliation will give me pleasure, when you get to my age, and especially when the woman in my life gets to her age, pleasure is something that is in short supply these days :>)

    It has to go into the banking fraternity first off, then things will take off.

     

    If AT can get anything there, he will be on to a winner, winner chicken dinner.

    As CF said, it really is all about the money. It doesn’t matter how special our relationship is with anyone. When there are easy pickings to be had by corrupt organisations they will target the easiest options, unfortunately, especially when they are in desperate need of money.

  11. I’m kinda maxed out on all the Sevco stuff.

     

     

    They seem to be gone, or mostly gone.

     

     

    And the world still turns!

     

     

    Who da thunk it?

     

     

    Interesting to see what happens to the main villans, but if I had a few mill squirrelled away overseas then there’s no way I would ever see a court room.

  12. Just found out that villan isnae a word, it is instead the much posher villain.

     

     

    So there you go.

  13. Thanks to everyone who contributed to “I discovered on CQN” – compiled the replies and will use alongside the comments on the CQN Magazine Facebook page, in the new magazine out end of next week. 80 pages of Celtic.

    There are still a lot of very important loose ends to be tied up but I agree we should be purring about this young squad a bit more.

     

     

    To Zimmerman and all the David Icke curious guys and girls out there heading to Wembley or just wondering about his stuff. Please remember he is totally BBC and went off the rails. LOL

     

     

    A Christian exposed David and the UN even more so.

     

     

    Loose ends?

    The agenda is highly global but the Fighting Irish are fighting it harder than anyone else, IMO.

  15. the police in barcelona are as much the same as any police.

     

    I mentioned the difficulty getting down from such a height in that stadium.

     

    getting down from high at Parkhead is just as fraught- you learn how to manage it.

     

    I can tell you they do very very well know the difference between Celtic and sevco

  16. Alex salmond should be asking for a full public enquiry into the rangers shame!

     

    It’s absolutely reeks to me

  17. David Icke, Barca polis, Martin McGuinness, and the Orange Order.

     

     

    Hmm….

     

     

    Don’t know anything about any of that, but what the heck!

     

     

    David Icke… I love that these people exist, they make me smile.

     

     

    Barca polis… 9000 fans from England, as they call it, of course they have an army ready to bash sculls.

     

     

    Martin and the Orange Order… we need to talk to our enemies in the end, after the fighting is done.

  18. Rascar Capac

     

     

    Some will comment flippantly that the hatred is in their DNA.

     

     

    Bad Teachers are the sole responsibility of them turning into disrespecting humans.

     

     

    I am very happy to have been brought up a Catholic as it is obviously the best way to be brought up here in these lands. The irony is, I now believe, more than ever, that the Bible is the only guidance ever needed, and that it negates all hierachical systems that are pushed by any organisations.

    I totally agree.

     

     

    Thankfully, us Tims have the sense to spot when summit is wrong, be it the Lizard people, Aliens from Planet Prometheus, or the evil one itself.

     

     

    Some things are good in helping us all focus on the difference between right and wrong. An argument for the celebration of Hun FC before it died?? :)))

    Is there any news on injury the greek god of beardedness?

     

     

    Looked bad at the time and having seen nothing on the club site I fear he may have suffered a few more split ends.

     

     

    Anyone?

    Our DNA does seem to dictate our character to some extent, with similarities with family members an obvious example.

     

     

    A strange example is the similarity between my brother and his second cousin.

     

     

    Now they never met until they were adults, but they are almost identical, and both have degrees in maths.

     

     

    Spooky.

     

     

    I think the Rangers fans and our good selves share the same DNA, with so much mingling between Scotland and Ireland that we are the same people.

     

     

    That is my optimistic view on what Salmond was on about.

     

     

    Bad teachers is where the differences really lie.

     

     

    We are the people is a terrible ethos, but it is maybe just a accident of history that we embraced the love us please mentality rather than the noone likes us we dont care.

     

     

    I think, but maybe I should whisper it, that most of that mob are basically nice folk.

  23. Fortunes Favour Mibbes

     

     

    As Masonry is just dressed up Paganism and as the Hunman has been exposed as being really Stupid.

     

     

    Why don’t they fire Prometheus. LOL ;)

    The hun is going mental on ZM about the BBC revelations and the, unknown about AT’ currnet interest in their thuggish behavior.

     

     

    Death threats abound on the site, but even better they call him a “failed Journalist”, while hanging on every word of AT’s attacker.

     

     

    To say the right wing arseholes who post on RM are stupid is a downright insult to actual stupid people.
