Devil in the * detail over Whyte shares

469

Breaking news!  Craig Whyte agrees to sell his shares for £1*!!!

So the story goes.  The * is important.   *He’s agreed to sell his shares for £1 if a CVA is agreed.  Coincidentally, this decision comes a day after Ticketus inform journalists (and perhaps Mr Whyte’s briefs) that they will sue the Rangers owner for £27m.

Of course, if a CVA is agreed, Ticketus still own the tickets for the next three seasons they bought from Rangers in the early months of Whyte’s tenure.  They therefore cannot pursue Craig Whyte.  Get a CVA – get Ticketus’ lawyers off your case.

Channel 4’s very well informed, Alex ‘Tomo’ Thompson, who appears to have spoken to Mr Whyte tonight, reminds us all of the crux of the matter:

“And then that leaves the floating charge Mr Whyte has over Rangers – effectively another large separate financial stake in the club and I can reveal this is still to be negotiated away somehow. This is where the tough-talk has still very much to be done.”

Despite the headlines, it appears that Craig Whyte remains….. The Only Show in Town.  He’ll assist a CVA but the “tough-talk” over the stadium, his real asset, has still to take place.

Let’s not mention the chances of getting a CVA past HMRC.

  1. Bundoran Bhoy! Will do, thanks. I tell him the entire Celtic family are wishing him well. Really hope I get the chance to bring him to Celtic Park some day, to let him see for himself. Hopefully he will become a lifelong Celt.

     

    I have promised the wife I wont ‘make him’ support celtic. But he’ll not have a choice when he sees it, breathes it and lives it! It kinda just clicks, like it was meant to be. Thats what happened to me anyway.

     

     

    Jude2005, no problem at all, thanks. He is in UCLH Tower, T11 North.

     

    Great view across London

  2. jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/ on

    Paul

     

     

    Could you bring over that stuff Traynor spouted abt Fergus in 1998?. Some of the guys might have missed it.

  3. Vinibhoy I never heard chick youngs comments about Paul mcbride ; however I have heard some people in hushed tones raise questions ( incl an ex board member ) ; the Gary Heywood story in chongquing is fresh in the mind.

  4. Before I go to bed, read the belter of an article on rangers media tonight.

     

     

    Apparently rangers are pearl harbour and ee are the sneaky japs.

     

     

    Also has a right go at Philmac.

     

     

    I just wish the stupid huns would die with a bit of dignity.

    at 14minutes 33 seconds into the podcast Chic says to P67 “One of the last conversations Paul, I had, in fact it was the last conversation I had with Paul McBride, before he died of course………….”.

     

     

    Now I’m not going to say anything about the last 5 words here, but Chic definitely did not say “killed”.

    A man known in court documents as XAB is applying for an injunction against the BBC at the High Court tomorrow. Hmm…

  8. Great stuff tonight from both Paul67 and Terry. Setting them straught as usual.

     

    Regarding the comment from grima I amsure that he did say killed then quickly said died. That’s how I heard it.

    Doctored? Now that is possible and quite something if true. Someone somewhere will have the original. Probably on Jinky.

    I heard him say it, on the ‘Jinky’ link. It was an error, and he corrected himself immediately, but he did say it. Really gash for a so-called reporter, but hardly surprising from an incompetent wee fud like him.

  12. Many years ago, there was a programme about the American prison system called OZ, hard hitting stuff so it was.

     

    Anyways, at the start/end of each prog they had a bit where the would tell you where certain sayings originated from.

     

     

    And for the life of me I am struggling to remember what they were, blew me away at the time, that I do remember.

    R.E chico… he DEFO said killed…heard it on a link posted on here.

    Lochgoilhead,

     

    Aye he did, listen to it, the reason noone said anything at the time was respect for the family and the cloud it would leave hanging.

     

    No one wants to believe such a thing is possible, but we do know murder is not beyond their pale.

     

    Hope not, but really would not be surprised, just goes to show how much reverence they attract.

  15. Chico definitely said that Paul McBride had been killed. Not suggesting any conspiracy theories, but that’s what he said.

    Sincere apologies to Big Nan, ViniBhoy, Exiled Tim and everyone else.

     

     

    6 minutes and 11 seconds into the Original Broadcast Chic does say “killed”. That is edited from the Podcast. In my defence I wasn’t in to hear the original, only the podcast. In Chic’s defence (helmet on) I think I now understand the meaning of “before he …died of course”. Some clown of a sound editor thought he would do Chic a favour by removing the offending words “was killed”.
