The core essence of Duff and Phelps protests at the SFA judicial panel punishment handed out this week, as they state, is that: “in our opinion do the panel fail to have properly apportioned culpability between the Club and Craig Whyte”.
Yesterday we found out the truth about how Duff and Phelps really think about apportioning culpability between a company and a director.
The Lawyer magazine yesterday reported:
“The administrators are suing Collyer Bristow and Whyte’s takeover vehicle the Rangers FC Group for at least £25m in damages. The firm is accused of conspiracy, breach of undertaking, negligence and breach of trust, with Withey – who acted as the club’s company secretary – complicit in the allegations.”
The Lawyer goes on to say that Mark Phillips, QC, acting on behalf of Duff and Phelps, “told the court that there was no evidence anyone else at Collyer Bristow was involved, but that as Withey had authority to act for the firm, it was liable for the losses flowing from his “conspiracy”.
Get this clear; in the opinion of Duff and Phelps QC, as Withey had authority to act for Collyer Bristow, Collyer Bristow was liable.
Craig Whyte acted on behalf of Rangers after 6 May last year just as the old board acted on behalf of the club before then. These people are using one argument to chase an enormous £25m but using the counter argument to subvert an SFA judicial panel.
The rules of the SFA are clear, Rangers are ‘liable’ for the actions of their directors, as anyone using this argument to pursue £25m should be well aware. These people are shameless.

Sorry that should have read McMoist has been nominated for the manager who has aged most in a year
Cut McCoist some slack, says Hugh Keevins, because he’s had distractions this last few months.
Cut Lennon some slack I say, he’s been assaulted pitchside, received death threats and had improvised explosive devices posted to him.
Thai Tims are staying at CP?

Bada,you’ve missed a few games with
all your jet setting around the globe.
Gee the ghuy your ticket.
Keevins came out with a belter about 6.30 suggesting the press/ media had worked tirelessly to bring the tax dodgers story to light..
Aye right Hugh. I take it the media hound Minty every day for his story of excessive bank lending, dubious loans and EBTs.. ?
The Scottish media are an insult to the name ..
The could nt find a story in a crisp bag..
HH
i’m assuming this “crisis”, as it were, is terrific news for the scottish media, etc
like a war…great for boosting ratings, etc
bet they’re lovin it too, despite their sham stories to the CONtrary
Since when did the scottish media work, never mind tirelessly!!!
The SFA have to show the Kahunas to really HAMMER that jabbering fool Swally McMoist- they have to send out a message- particularly after last season.
voguepunter-Note I never missed any games at CP,give him yours and watch the game from your armchair :}
Last caller on Snyde.
Superb.
Steph I think?
Thought Keevins had caught huge worms he was squirming so much
what a horrible wet day I blame “Guess who”
Can someone get the bhoy in England to get in touch with me via Paul 67.
The ticket is being supplied by CQN occasional poster, Gordon.

Good to see the referee appointment has caused the same amount of stir in you as it has me.
Thought it would have provoked a lot more of a reaction myself to be honest – I wouldnt have been surprised if our leader Paul67 had decided to pen an article in disgust.
They have the audacity to point in the direction of Harry Redknapp and use him as the stick to beat Neil Lennon with.
Harry Redknapp – the man who manages a club where things generally do even themselves out over the course of a season, the man who was apologised to immediately after the game in which the referee made a mistake and Harry Redknapp the man who manages a football club who play in a league whereby referees get demoted following poor displays.
Harry Redknapp who manages a club that plays in a league whereby the referees have had to declare all and any potential conflict of interests and who they and their family support – and who are not allowed to officiate in any game directly involving one of them
Its exactly the same thing
As is evidenced by the awarding / REwarding of Calum Murrays recent Ibrox charade
hen1rik-Not sure if he still about mate,up to SFTB mate.HH.
I see ST renewals coming out
Anyone know the damage ?.
I’m so happy the press have ignored and therefore enhanced (for me) the whole Rangers gift that just keeps giving.

THE MALIGNANT PERSONALITY:
These people are mentally ill and extremely dangerous! The following precautions will help to protect you from the destructive acts of which they are capable.
First, to recognize them, keep the following guidelines in mind.
(1) They are habitual liars. They seem incapable of either knowing or telling the truth about anything.
(2) They are egotistical to the point of narcissism. They really believe they are set apart from the rest of humanity by some special grace.
(3) They scapegoat; they are incapable of either having the insight or willingness to accept responsibility for anything they do. Whatever the problem, it is always someone else’s fault.
(4) They are remorselessly vindictive when thwarted or exposed.
(5) Genuine religious, moral, or other values play no part in their lives. They have no empathy for others and are capable of violence. Under older psychological terminology, they fall into the category of psychopath or sociopath, but unlike the typical psychopath, their behavior is masked by a superficial social facade.
If you have come into conflict with such a person or persons, do the following immediately!
(1) Notify your friends and relatives of what has happened.
Do not be vague. Name names, and specify dates and circumstances. Identify witnesses if possible and provide supporting documentation if any is available.
(2) Inform the police. The police will do nothing with this information except to keep it on file, since they are powerless to act until a crime has been committed. Unfortunately, that often is usually too late for the victim. Nevertheless, place the information in their hands.
Obviously, if you are assaulted or threatened before witnesses, you can get a restraining order, but those are palliative at best.
(3) Local law enforcement agencies are usually under pressure if wealthy or politically powerful individuals are involved, so include state and federal agencies as well and tell the locals that you have. In my own experience, one agency that can help in a pinch is the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service or (in Canada) Victims Services at your local police unit. It is not easy to think of the IRS as a potential friend, but a Swedish study showed that malignant types (the Swedes called them bullies) usually commit some felony or other by the age of twenty. If the family is wealthy, the fact may never come to light, but many felonies involve tax evasion, and in such cases, the IRS is interested indeed. If large amounts of money are involved, the IRS may solve all your problems for you. For obvious reasons the Drug Enforcement Agency may also be an appropriate agency to approach. The FBI is an important agency to contact, because although the FBI does not have jurisdiction over murder or assault, if informed, they do have an active interest in any other law enforcement agencies that do not follow through with an honest investigation and prosecution should a murder occur. Civil rights are involved at that point. No local crooked lawyer, judge, or corrupt police official wants to be within a country mile if that comes to light! It is in such cases that wealthy psychopaths discover just how firm the “friends” they count on to cover up for them really are! Even some of the drug cartel biggies will scuttle for cover if someone picks up the brick their thugs hide under. Exposure is bad for business.
(4) Make sure that several of your friends have the information in the event something happens to you. That way, an appropriate investigation will follow if you are harmed. Don’t tell other people who has the information, because then something bad could happen to them as well. Instruct friends to take such an incident to the newspapers and other media.
If you are dealing with someone who has considerable money, you must realize that they probably won’t try to harm you themselves, they will contract with someone to make the hit. The malignant type is a coward and will not expose himself or herself to personal danger if he or she can avoid it.
Its sound mate i wouldn’t do that especially if he’s coming a long way.
Bada Bing that armchair is permanently attached to his behind, fair play to him he still takes it into the game with him, some folk are all front well the Voguepunter is aw erchie :¬)
ps been off line for a bit, who are the “tai tims” is it code for summit?
Thanks in advance.

Girls Aloud reunion is on!
Rangers are the the Pablo Eskobar of scottish football, for years they corrupted
everything that was around them to get away with murder
they believed that they would never be taken to task
minty had scottish football and scottish juornos in his pocket
the Columbian goverment thought at one time that if they taken pablo out of play the economy would suffer
just like the hun argument, they cant do without us
as for the 12 month ban, that will never be upheld

That’ll be Neil, of course….:-)
Sally was never even nominated for Question of Sport Captain of the Year – and there’s only two of them.
Right now I’m warming to Hugh.
I’m sure it’s only temporary.
When it comes to the appeal whether Scottish football needs them should not be a consideration. The only issue to hand should be whether the verdicts are correct, and the penalties described in the rules agreed by 42 clubs properly applied. As has been alluded to on here by some learned and well read posters, the panel seem to have neglected to apply a withdrawal of license appropriate with the level of the monetary punishments applied.
The Whitehouse family are clearly talented.
Paul stars in “The Fast Show”
Administrator, David stars in the “Slow Show”
“Hi Darling. I’m home”
“Hi – how was work”
“Same as yesterday. Coasted, issued a press release, spoke to some lawyers, collected £25,000”
“What are you doing tomorrow?”
“The same”
Duff & Duffer must love “the peepul” as an audience.
Imagine watching a stand-up comic doing the same routine every night.
How long would it be before a sane person twigged?
Hail Hail

If there was ever ANY chance of the cheating bhuns winning an appeal, Sally has scuppered it …….. Not too bright a light, Sally………aha, aha, aha…!!!!
Fair do’s to Hugh and Delahunt for booting into touch the caller saying the panelists should be named. He said judges were named but they responded that jurors were not.
In a civilised society the caller might have a point but in a civilised society jurors would not need anonymity.
What is being put under the microscope for the world to see is the culture of modern Scotland and it is not a pretty sight.
My renewal, when it lands on my doorstep, is going to remain unactioned till I know how Celtic are going to deal with a Newco, if that is the way this is all going to unfold.
If they abstain, or worse, vote in favour of re-entry, then I’m going to be spending my Saturdays working on my golf handicap.
It’s No Newco or No Season Ticket for me.
67Heaven … I am Neil Lennon..!!..Truth and Justice will always prevail on 25 April, 2012 at 19:22
I hope so. It would look deperately weak of the SFA to back down now in the face of threats and intimidation.
