I hear regular reports that Our Hero is fastidious, clever, experienced and has expert legal advice on company rescue matters. But I read (on Random Thoughts’ blog) that he doesn’t always take great care when filling out forms or doing paperwork.
Now he has a formidable foe on his case. Alastair Johnston, the non-exec who may have been asleep at the wheel when Rangers FC PLC (in administration) were industriously working on schemes to avoid taxation, has written to the Crown Office asking them to investigate the acquisition of Rangers by Craig Whyte. No Surrender Johnston, as he is knows in some parts, a sleeping giant of the sports industry, is awake and he’s darn irritated!
I love good irony. Can you believe, he wrote to the CROWN Office! Forces of the Crown are all over this situation already. You have to wonder how deeply Her Majesty’s officers will delve now they’re on the case.
As anyone who has followed recent perjury trials in Scotland will know, not all alleged crimes are investigated, on occasion, action needs to be in the public interest, but you have to think that if our hero has failed to cross a t or dot an i, No Surrender Johnston will pursue Our Hero like the well-pensioned accountant he is. If his suspicions are correct, I’m sure he will not rest until it’s Gaol for the Rangers miscreants.

Will help in anyway I can, these peepil need to be taken to task.
JackGlasgow,
No worries
I cat get my head around ticketus loaning 24 million to Whyte secured against the next four years season ticket sales as that to me would be a high risk loan ie Rangers might not sell enough sb to cover the loan and the interest, or they might not be in business so no reayment etc etc.Now surely with the adminstrator having been called in they will if Rangers get an AVC at best only get a small percentage back if they go into liquidation they will get back even less.Something is not quite right with this deal ? H.H.
RoscoePCo, RobertTressell and THE EXILED TIM
a mate was told by rangers (who at rangers i dont know) when he called would his season ticket still
be valid for the remainder of the season.
the answer he recieved was to say the least, unsure.
“it would be valid for saturdays game but after that
the administrator would make a decision next week
on the future validity of season books for this seasons remaining games.”
my take on it..they will need to pay at the gate
or buy tickets for the remaining games to prop up
the redies to keep them operating.
how many home games left with nothing at stake
in the league we have already won…5.
£100 per supporter to save their club till the
end of the season…lets see if they are up for it.
or indeed if they make it that long.

Hugh Keevins wasnt on SSB on the 16th. If you go to the RC website you can replay the SSb for 16th , think it was Andy Walker and Darryl King on that night , it may have been the night before but you can listen to the old broadcasts from 7th Feb
Everyone can have a listen to what he said to you so you have audio evidence. Let you Lawyer requiest a copy from RC before they delete it.
Best of luck

What did Keevins say???

Worst… Partisan Belgrade 5-4 match. 60,000 walking out of the stadium in total silence, one voice pipes up “why did we send 10 men up for the corner?”
================================
Surreal atmosphere that walk out of stadium. Always felt that kick in stomach was the catalyst for our troubles that followed.

Legendary Hop at 3.40pm is expected to run a big race. Currently 11/1 on PP. Only concern is how he will cope with the Fakenham track. Worth a wee investment I think.

As the others have said security must be their concern.
Bad enough their club is in admin, but asking them to fork out in the same week might just be like a tele screen breaking down.
I’m sure the discussions with the polis had this in mind.
I would also expect sally to go next week as well, he must be on a decent whack.

“I won’t deny it’s pleasant to succeed. But winning at all costs isn’t the true test of achievement. There is nothing wrong in trying to win, so long as you don’t set the prize above the game. There is no dishonor in defeat, so long as you play to the limit of your strength and skill. What matters above all else is that the game is played in the right spirit!”
– Sir Matt Busby
Paulus XLCVII, Salve salve;- Bennedicamus te, How does it feel to be drinking sweet wine from the cup of vindication? You have been on absolutely sparkling form of late and have added gereatly to the general sense of merriment and myrth. Your critique of Alex Mugabe was particularly devastating; I do not like him or his side kick we Granny Mutch (AKA Nichola Knitted Knickers) and as for his drunken dunce of a justice minister (allegedly) ? well lets just leave it. A very interesting statement from Ticketus with respect to not holding tickets but having security or words to that effect. Even more so when taken together with the Duff bros statement about our hero possibly not having the floating charge. Hmmmm as you are wont to say. Lastly, No surrender Johnstone?
Hee hee hee you’re a not a very naughty boy, you’re the messiah.

Paul,
just to clarify – the Ticketus company referred to in various posts are NOT the same company that the Rankers deal is with. A related company, but not the same.
However –
Phil Betts, a former Rankers director under GEF, who jumped ship before the iceberg hit, is also the owner of a company called Primary Asset Finance, a corporate recovery group.
This company has close links to a London-based group called Close Brothers, whose non-executive director Ray Greenshields is also the chairman of Octopus VCT 3. Octopus are the company who own Ticketus, who of course own 100,000 Rankers season books??!!
So Close – who own the catering rights at Ibrox and have a higher ranking security over Rankers than GEF, share executives with Octopus? Curiouser and curiouser.
Hail! Hail!

how can Phelps & Co- only in the door five mins- after a quick glance over the cook books tell us that the evil empire will not be liquidated whilst body swerving every other question? All we got yesterday was more Goebels like spin and grin…like Lennon said: clear as mud. Der Hun should be left to the taxidermist…stuffed…placed in some museum of the bizarre…then there’s Salmond with all the tawdry opportunism of a dodgy door to door salesmen…fud!
Der Hun is in meltdown. The Queen put flowers on the memorial to those heroic Irish freedom fighters…a soon to be end of the union…a united Ireland at future polls…Ian Paisley…their beloved club going tits up…their whole Weltanschauung is crumbling around them…the tims and their ice cream and lime jelly…their star is on the wane.

Did you see their t.v. interview spokes-bear the other night on about the Big Hoose being kept open. When I was a young’n The Big HOOSE was where they put all them people that was a bit wanting who could not behave in the community – for very long periods too. No change there in the Govan Big Hoose on fitba days then.
