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.

    The sfa have already dealt with fat sally

    TET…I have lost the plot here, can you advise the punishment the fiendish one recieved?

    Good.

     

     

    Another weekend ruined for Sevconians – all new fury-extra…

    It’s taken a while but if you thought they were angry before…

    What must it be like to walk in the shoes of ole Johnny Clash?

     

     

    If he’s not bumpin’ into wee Catrina in IKEA [perhaps wearin’ one of her Blakes 7 outfits] he’s kleekin’ leggo in Byres Road.

    Sofa- ole Wishbone seguing seamlessly into the great Sam Baker this week.

     

     

    A little rockabilly goes a long way…

  6. A quick question………what percentage possession did Inter Milan enjoy in the 1967 European Cup Final?

  7. What can you say about these cretins? No sooner are they exposed for the horrendous evil twats that they are than they start issuing more of their Govan fatwahs, promising physical injury to any of their detractors should they be caught alone on the streets of Glasgow.

     

    And what will be done about this by those sworn to protect the public? Nothing, that’s what.

     

    They’re like the police in Athens who openly support the nazi Golden Dawn mob.

     

    Unrepentantly fascist and violent themselves.

     

    Do these huns not realise that their beloved ‘club’ has been used as an instrument of fraud for decades to enrich some very dodgy people altogether and that they themselves have been massively defrauded and continue to be so? No. They can only revel in their orange miasma, their violent stench which somehow seems to inflame their feeble brains in an orgy of hate. And Scotland seems content to have this roiling ball of hatred at its core….how else can its continued existence be accounted for? The msm stands by, and in its deliberate and wilful ignorance as it continues to puff up this excessive canker is complicit.

     

    There are a couple of exceptions, but in the main they are drowned out by the disgusting thundering fart-like emanations from the corpulent presstitute Jabba and his ilk.

     

    Scotland’s shame, becoming ever more shameful as they gibber around in their death throes.

    Very often a player uses his agent to voice his wish for a move and make it seem to the fans that the agent is the problem.I remember John Collins doing exactly that if big Victor did not wish to have it in the public domain he only needs to come out with a statement saying he wants to stay with Celtic his silence says everything.H.H.

    “It’s taken a while but if you thought they were angry before…”

     

     

    If anger was an attainable qualification the Huns would all be University graduates.

     

     

    Luckily for them, they have never required qualifications to find work.

    Wullie fowler or should that be (fouler) is aptly named and obviously has feathers in his heid posting that to AT.

     

     

    Then again if they can post bombs to our manager, a lawyer and a geriatric female politician, nothing the hun underclass do is in the least surprising.

  11. “..Rangers Football Club, like every other responsible club, does not condone any form of anti-social behaviour.”

     

     

    Clearly, whoever made this statement on behalf of RFCil has never been to any of their games (or any other social events associated with this ‘pillar of Scottish society’).

  12. Dontbrattbakkinanger on

    But they’re not like ‘every other responsible club’…they are unique in their cashstrapped scrofulous hillbilly mindset.

    It either isnnae working and it is not coming up as undeliverable or my multiple emails through the night might be going straight to your junk folder? That would make sense. ;))

  14. Oh…..go on, let’s have a look at what else Ch4 is reporting on in these fair isles as we get dragged daily into the most corrupt and vile period of history I can remember since the last one. I advocate a wholesale revolution and lopping off of heads on an ad oc basis.

  15. If you were a serious investor and had seen this week, how the administration is on shaky ground and CH4 showing the world what your customers are actually like.

     

     

    Would you honestly consider investing in them?

     

     

    Funny how Chuck has suddenly lost his voice…

  16. From the Eurosport page on ‘sportsmen’ who will work for food.

     

    {The Rangers manager reacted to the club’s finanical meltdown by immediately offering his services for nothing. “He was one of the first people to turn to Duff and Phelps and say, ‘Don’t pay me any salary’,” said new club chief Charles Green. “Ally worked for free and I don’t know any manager who has gone into their boss’s office and said, ‘I will work for free’.”

     

    And given that Rangers have lost one and drawn three of their first eight games against the part-time nobodies of Scottish Division Three, it looks like the Glasgow giants have got exactly what they paid for.}

     

    Stupid nasty fat wee hun whisperer.

    I see you have the answer.

     

     

    It’s what we are up against.

     

     

    As has already been said, you can assault a prominent football manager with a TV audience, plead guilty to the charge and still get away with it.

     

     

    You can send bombs to said football manager, a top lawyer and a member of parliment, and virtually get off scott free.

     

     

    Crimes are being commited in front of our eyes on a daily basis, and the police are doing nothing about it.

     

     

    If this had happened in england, or any other country the huns would be no more, and many would already be in jail.

     

     

    Scotland, whas like us.

  18. Dharma Bam

     

     

    Aye, tis sad but true.

     

     

    I remember posting at the start of all this that the goatbreeders would come to the fore, they have done their job so far, it will take guys like AT to get it to the wider world, but sadly, even then I doubt many will care what happens in hunland.

  19. Working for food in the fat yin’s case would be expensive : propped up at the end of the pie conveyor belt in the Greggs fat factorywith his ugly facial orifice hanging open as the pastries just tumble down his gullet in a slithering cascade until they hit the unimaginably acidic cavern of his fat-lined innards to be converted into calorific energy so that he can waddle on hun-whispering his lardy pronouncements unto the grave.

     

    The sleekit wee bam knows which side his bread is buttered on……both. A deep-fried lard sandwich would be no more than a minor horses doover for the waddling flab. He and Jabba in the same room…..unspeakable, unthinkable. An offence against nature.

     

    “A pie! A pie! Oh, Mr. Green, you can have me for a pie! ” And thus it came to pass….r*****s ‘greatest ever goalscorer’ prostituted himself for a handful of pastry and mystery meat on an infinitely repeating basis.

     

    The fud.

    Absolutely incredible! A Sevconian writing a piece that’s grammatically correct, and spelt properly??

     

     

    No surprise about the content though, although, I have to admit, I did laugh out loud when I read it.
