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.

‘I’ve always thought that the away goals rule shouldn’t count in extra time.’
The away goals rule is an anachronism from the days when foreign travel was an adventure and teams took their own tinned food with them so they didn’t have to eat that fancy foreign muck.
It’s a nonsense in this day and age.
Morarbhoy – There’s certainly a suggestion of something sinister.
mccoist calls for the panel to be outed, the names then reach the public domain through a breach of confidentiality.
We then learn that mccoist knew the names all along.
Does anyone need a diagram?

spot on. their loony element (?) will see this as an unnofficial sanctioning- look it’s true what we’ve been saying all along , they’re out to get us one way or the other, and of course some of the megacrazies will think -let’s get our retaliation in first! Yup the police, football community, politicians, possibly media folk are goona have to be alert.
alex thomson knows the score!

Rather more significant than being naughty about a referee, one would have thought. I’ll ask SFA when I’ve a moment

Rangers manager jas questioned Scottish FA’s independence, motives and arguably put its staff at risk…

So will A McCoist now be charged by Scottish foot ball authority with bringing game into disrepute? …
Arronmorebhoy

Gordon_J : agree, seems unfair to me. Mon the Bayern in Munchen….

IMHO McCoist is the most insidious, sleekit, cowardly, dangerous man in scottish football.
He should hang his head in shame for the fear he has inflicted on innocent families BUT HE WONT.

It’s clear Moisty has made a BIG mistake. He’s either VERY stupid, or we’re hearing the desperate rantings of a condemned man, who knows it’s all over and is just taking it out on everyone else. Or both :))))
Eric
….
Since it was a scripted (sort of) RFCIA recorded programme, his inane outburst had to have been sanctioned by someone in the management, which at this time has to mean the Administrators. This would be consistent with their bleating about the SFA decision in their own statement.
In effect, who is actually running the show at Ibrokes? There is no directors, no CEO, no managing person, and other than Dupe and Whelps, only His Royal Moistness to say anything. As others have said, he spoke like a moronic fan rather than a responsible person. He also spoke from his perch of entitlement that underpins all that his culture embodies.
The SFA will have great difficulty in ignoring the consequences of his stupidity. It is far, far worse than Neil’s comment about “decent referees”. The police, special branch, and private security are all involved in trying to protect an SFA appointed panelist from injury. Time to step up again Mr Regan.
As for Swally, I think you are wrong.;-] He is both stupid AND a ranting condemned man. I suspect he knows that the end is nigh, hence his comment about Div 3.

Jude-Andrew Dickson ,( i think) was the guy mentioned representing the huns at the hearing.Me neither.

We hear the blazers have call with UEFA arranged for tomorrow. Unprecedented higher governing body involvement at this stage on cards.
mcoist as i said earlier will come out and say sorry and condem these threats
made by their hordes but the point will have been made of that there is no doubt
cue next time excrement everywhere job done.

After his outburst last night which has put the safety of 3 people at risk, Fat Sally has come out tonight stating everyone should get back to concentrating on the football.
Fat Twat
Hope e-tims are right UEFA and put an end to this
That guy Alex Thomson is like a dog with a bone. My kind of guy.
McCoist will have blood on his hands. A complete and utter fool. He should be taken to task and the book thrown at him. Proper jail time. I’m taking two of my boys on Sunday. One is 18 and he’s determined to go out with his mates after the game. I’m equally determined that he isn’t. In ‘normal’ times the huns are a danger. Their manager has ensured that the possibility of one of our supporters being killed on Sunday is a brutal and unthinkably strong possibility. The sooner they are but a memory the better. I’m renewing tomorrow. I’d pay more quite happily if they weren’t in existence. HH.

McCoist should be carpeted for those comments. Surely that is incitement.
It certainly brings the game into disrepute, it also put people’s safety at risk.
Whispering in the ear, comments like this show the cowardly character he is.
Love the new strips, hope that is one leak that is true.
Any charge by the sfa should be the least of worries for ally mcoist!
after his words about the judicial panel and subsequent threats (allegedly) by ‘the lunatic fringe’ as someone put it! he should be facing a charge by the police for insighting violence and putting the safety of the panel at risk
he is a cowardly sh**e of the lowest order, i would say he should hang his head in shame but that’s the problem, he has no shame!
Rangers should travel to Switzerland and get UEFA to ‘assist’ them in their final days!
Blantyretim.. It was.. There is an obvious pun about an eye…. I shall resist! …..just..
McCoist thinks he’s bigger than he is. I frequently socialised in many of the pubs and clubs he did in the late 80s early 90s. He never came across as a hard man but he was always team handed with pals/minders. This would give anyone a feeling of untouchableness/bigusmanus syndrome. He is and always was an arse of the highest order. Me fears though he has now taken his indestructability a tad to far. Prize arse of the highest order. It WILL come back to haunt him.
Roy croppie
:)))))))
Duff and Phelps could always sack Sally for his outburst. That would save a few quid and they don’t really need him anyway.
Roy – they have no dignity.

I didn’t realise that was possible!!!
FC Dignitas (they did it all themselves)
DIGNITY???????? That lot couldn’t spell the word.
Mc Moist has been shocking for yrs but the last 2 yrs he s been responsible for raising tensions hugely..
The whisper in Lenny’s ear, the bolshie press conferences, and now this..he knows exactly what he’s doing – the wee barrel..
SSB = Super Score Board

Gee whizz, i hope he isnt any bigger than he looks!!!
An idea circulating the huns poison grapevine that they will leave Paradise at halftime then march to Hampden…can just imaginw XXXL walruses blubbering all the way to mount florida? The route will be littered with carduac arrests…
I fear I plough a lonely furrow as I suspect I agree with no-one (except perhaps Robert Tressel)
I am not a great lover of chief execs. I have yet to meet one who I respect as a person. They are generally physcopathic in their behaviour and I would not trust Peter Lawell, DD or any other director to represent my views.
As someone else said earlier, my love for Celtic (the club) is unconditional and I trust many of the fans to represent me and my views because of our shared culture as the oppressed underdog and our common decency (and if I knew many of you better I’m sure I’d trust the good majority of you). It is this that I love about my club and this feeling is not conditional of the actions of the Celtic Board, the SFA, the SPL, the huns, their apologists or anyone else.
Since when was our relationship with the club dependent on the actions of the paid employees at Celtic. None of us stopped supporting Celtic because of what Tony Mowbray did to the team.
I trust Neil Lennon because he is a supporter. I trust the GB because it is they who brought the thunder back to Celtic.
In these difficult times, our club needs us more than ever.
Renew, renew, renew!

He’s heading that way!!
