Just a few days after the Blue Knight’s offered Craig Whyte £500k for his shares in Rangers Our Hero sold to Charles Green, who is now owner of the embattled football club, for £2. Craig has doubled his money in a year after buying Rangers for £1 last May, but as he accepted a bid for his shares a quarter of a million times smaller than that of the Blue Knights, curiosity has peaked.
For many months Celtic Quick News has billed Craig Whyte as the only show in town, that he would only sell to someone who paid his substantial asking price, or who was his proxy. No one is suggesting Whyte has pocketed £2 for his trouble and dropped off the scene in a sudden bout of benevolence. There is clearly tons we don’t know about this deal.
We’re grateful to Paul McConville for his research on Charles Green today. I am sure Paul only spent a short time researching the subject but it was nonetheless a fruitful endeavour.
I may have missed specific reference to his security over Ibrox but Mr Green does not have the disposition of someone who owns a football club without a ground, so it would be reasonable to assume that Whyte’s security is now in the control of Green. In time we’ll find out how these assets changed hands but I suspect nothing will be said publicly on this subject for now.
Craig Whyte did not start the Rangers crisis, he never had an EBT from the club and he repaid all of Rangers bank debt. He has been enormously entertaining during his 53 weeks in charge and, from the little information provided on the 20-or-so mostly-anonymous venture capitalists who now own Rangers, he has passed the club onto what looks like an equally rewarding group of people.
If nothing else, he parted ensuring what is left of the club didn’t get into the hands of the Rangers support, accompanied by a pushy investor with deep pockets.
Cheers for that, Craig. Once this blows over, we need to get you in for the Paradise Windfall.
I’m still freezing. Hug a radiator CSC.

Could be..but I doubt it!
i hope so
but there has been a lot of debate about that
GB didnt like what lenny said that night
GB havent sung about lenny since
Lenny says thank you in his speech – then plants it in front of them and danders off
GB have been fantastic – there stance is wrong, Lenny has called them out?
Educate me..whats wrong w/the GB stance?
Lenny looked real chuffed to be able to do that.

ANTRIM KEV
He would have to deliberately fail a medical.
yes and he didnt obviously
its harsh on the fella
he is young and if we really wanted him, then we would have waited the 9 months
but if the PRE contract says we can shaft him for an injury or whatever, then there is bound to be a comeback ?
if its a pre contract then 2 people have to agree to stuff then see what happens?

Although I do agree with the GB’s UEFA opinion. Maybe they are protecting Lenny from “officialdom” . I know I would.

no history
he has been drinking

shocked today by a tim,
said he thought the green brigade were ignorant, because they sang over a opera singer the board hired.
After correcting him on the meaning of ignorant and the difference of his percieved bad manners, he still didnt get it.

on the drink wee man?
who you fighting with now?
another “hun” – drink induced?
antrimkev,
you want to make great divisive arguments all night on the night the rotten mob died.
On here looking to do what ? from what I’ve read you’ve brought nothing positive to the table all night but negativity.
Instead of arguing about sammy being the most undervalued footballer in the western world, you want to greet about a dud fae poland and a percieved hostility between our manager and the green brigade.
FYI, our manager told the support he would present the trophy to the green brigade, so thats what he done. Men of honour keep their word.
sammy being the most undervalued footballer in the western world,
take him over Stokes every time if you want to talk football
no called you a hun yet

antrimkev – You are a buck eejit in sobriety,when you are in drink,you are a horrible,obnoxious wee slabber.
I have never read so much tripe in my life.
The main reason why i dislike you though is that you backed Udinese to beat Celtic,then you had the brass neck to come on here and start gurning because Celtic didn’t let them beat us.
You lost a miserable fiver,betting against yer own team.I am only sorry it wasn’t a bigger sum of money that you lost – you would probably have flung yerself off a tall building.
Nincompoop.
