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.

Surely the SFA should pass the reigns over to UEFA now.
Letting UEFA kill the beast is the only way to go now for every1s safety
I wonder if the sfa will ask Celtic fc or Neil Lennon for advice or will Celtic fc offer support in ref to the recent sfa statement on the panel. will be interesting if other clubs. come ouout and support .

Well said. Absolutely right on all points.
Thanks for highlighting this.

I think it no longer matters a jot what CFC support. They are doing fine themselves in alienating not just the SFA but other member Clubs as well. Mr. McCoist should hang his head in shame. He may not be guilty of incitement but his comments on identifying the Panel are irresponsible at best.
For the record, I have no doubt that CFC will strike when the time is right.

Is there no depths they wont sink to????
McCoist’s stupid remarks are all the excuse their fans need. And this is just over a transfer ban. This is going to get much worse.
I don’t like being alarmist but I hope the police have enough notice to cancel all overtime when liquidation comes.

Hope you’re happy McCoist you fat dick.
Ironically, he may well have killed RFC himself due to his idiocy: how the hell could the SFA back down without giving the impression that they are acting because they fear more such threats: if anything this may well harden their resolve to punish them.
Well played Ally ya fud.
Disturbing that there seem to be leaks that the SFA were “surprised” at the verdict. Chris McLaughlin on BBC said tonight he expected a Hun appeal to be successful…
If it is, especially under these circumstances, there is a very good chance that UEFA might become involved.
RFC and their fans are revealing their true colours now, as the end nears. It’s fascism, of the nastiest and least sophisticated stripe. Bullying, intimidating, paranoid, self-pitying, ignorant, fascism.
Billy Fullerton would have been proud…

Had an interesting conversation today that backs up what you say. Also a few things going on, not at Celtic, but SPL level, that sounded very encouraging if you’re a fan of sporting integrity. :))))

Has to be Bayern for me. The German financial model is the future for football. Also been to the Munich beer festival a couple of times. Lovely people and great city.

Hail! Hail!
Same to you mate without bells on
I wonder if there will be any ‘angry’ pictures of the threatened panel members in the papers tomorrow?
when things get this intolerable its impossible for local governing bodies to carry out an impartial inquiry nevermind administer punishment uefa must intervene
or at least the sfa spl must ask them in the interest of fairness to takeover,
as for the likes of traynor and his ilk quotes like kicking them when there down
is a disgrace some sort of body needs to put in place to sort these clowns out to.
Ribery has been awful the night. Robbin hisnae been great but he offers a real threat even when he’s no playing well.
Evening all,
I have a spare ticket for Sunday, Jock Stein Upper, section 438, row Q, seat 7 *This is a restricted view seat*
If anyone is interested please contact Paul67 for my email address.
The story of the Thai Tims arriving in Paradise is fantastic. They are having a 2 week sleepover at Celtic Park! Jealous? Definitely!

i cannot see any scottish person delivering a just verdict if they feel threatened
thats why this must be taken over otherwise we are going to have farcical and
partial decisions.

Strathclyde Police have given security advice
to the three members of the Scottish
Football Association judicial panel who
handed out punishments to Rangers after
their identities were revealed, the SFA have
said.
The administration-hit Glasgow giants were
handed a £160,000 fine and 12-month
embargo on registering players aged over
17 by the panel after being found guilty of
five charges in relation to their finances and
the appointment of Craig Whyte as
chairman.
An SFA statement said on Wednesday night
that the three panel members in question
had been subjected to “abusive and
threatening communication” after their
identities were “compromised”.
A Scottish FA spokesperson said: “We are
deeply concerned that the safety and
security of Judicial Panel members
appointed to a recent Tribunal has been
compromised by a wholly irresponsible
betrayal of confidential information.
“The Judicial Panel consists of volunteers
from across the spectrum of sport and
business in Scotland. They are appointed on
the basis of anonymity yet all three panel
members have reported intrusion into their
personal and work lives, including abusive
and threatening communication.
“This has been extended to directors of the
Scottish FA, whose private details have been
published on internet sites and who have,
themselves, been victims of abusive
communication.
“This culminated tonight in a visit by
Strathclyde Police, who are taking seriously
the threats made towards the individuals
involved. We are thankful for their advice
and support in these matters”
LATE bid from China!
Mr Nay Foo Kin Chans :-)
Re Sunday..
the happenings today should remind us all to be careful on Sunday
they are a hurting wounded animal.. take care and try to stay together….
2nd half a bit cagier, less open, really anyones to win!
McCoist’s comments were a disgrace and he should be getting a visit from Strathclyde police to warn him re future conduct. He knows his words are swallowed greedily by the bloated belly of the Rangers support. He even launched wee Willie Bluenose with the ridiculous ‘ we don’t do walking away’ comment.
This is the man who tried to get into our dugout and later that night whispered something to our manager, hours after he was removed from his home and taken to a safe house. He was a coward as a player and he is continuing to live up to that mantle.
BadaB
Aye he should, but as they are the peepil, canny see it.
His argument would be if they are on the net, they are not harming anybody, that’s hun logic, and that’s a fact.
Now if the roles were reversed.
Scotland whas like us.

Bayern look much fitter than Real. Getting stronger as the game goes on…if it goes to extra time I think they’ll do it.
BT
Agreed!!
I commented on the lead up to the game at ibrox that my concerns weren’t for the safety of those supporters actually in attendance but more so for those in pubs and clubs up and down the country.
I have greater concerns regarding our supporters at this game.
why no visit to me from SNP ?
they know what pub I drink in… o))
