D&P blow their own argument to shreds in court

1179

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.

    Fat Sally remember learned from Walter he of no surname,remember comment re linesman Murphy.These peepil cannot accept fairness in employment or anything else,there watp mantra is ingrained and they cannot accept any dillusion of this.The parallels with there inbred cousins across the water is evident.Times are a changin and they cannot cope with this,they see an unseen Fenian hand in everything.Deluded,aggressive,anti catholic/Irish traits remain there main calling in life.Scratch the surface with any Hun and their bigotry soon ferments.

     

    Time for ftt ruling to come as an end is needed before innocent people suffer from there appalling behaviour.

    Regarding ‘hard man’ McCoist.

     

    When he went to his family house to confront his missus about her philandering, the door was opened by her ‘beau’. Sally turned on the heels of his dignified brown brogues, and bolted! A rank coward.

     

    This was reported in the papers, btw. The fellow involved was some loyalist thug from Ayrshire.

    SFA are obliged to charge McCoist. They have no choice. This situation has been instigated and driven to these lengths by RFCIA’s manager’s outburst.

     

     

    Come Mr Regan, you know what you have to do.

  11. Tom

    Not only does he know what to do, he has absolutely no choice in doing it. :)

  22. The only way the SFL can welcome the huns is if they go bust, Dundee are promoted to the SPL and so on down the line to create a vacancy.

     

     

    But custom and practice is to invite applicants rather than just give the place to one club.

    No apology from McCoist will put the orcs back in the cave, or make the panelists feel any better.

     

     

    Damage has well and truly been done, and cannot be undone.

     

     

    SFA, where are you?
