“I brought Charles Green in to buy Rangers” screams the BBC headline ahead of this evening’s interview by Chris McLaughlin of the Last King of Rangers, Our Hero, Craig Whyte. Whyte has retained private contact with a couple of journalists but he has previously declined earnest requests to go on the record given the level of investigation he is under. The wrong word could be costly.
But here it is, “I brought Charles Green in to buy Rangers”. An unequivocal assertion.
The interview will be broadcast on Reporting Scotland and Newsnight Scotland this evening and has been trailed by every outlet in the land (first trailed by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain last night). There appears to be genuine surprise in many news outlets. CQN’ers will be busy checking this this is, in fact, news, not a rehash of an earlier established fact (it is genuine news).
It has been a few months since Our Hero was The Only Show in Town but he can still put on a captivating performance.
Charles Green has yet to respond but he will. He has no choice. He could categorically deny the claim, citing Whyte’s court-established reliability, but to do that he’ll have to calculate that corroborating material will not emerge. The wrong word now could torpedo hopes of a successful share issue next month
A bombastic statement from well-polished PR people is what’s needed. I hope we’re not disappointed.
“I brought Charles Green in to buy Rangers”. Kaboom!

They will get away with it because of the stupidity of the huns. They will too them off again and again.
The allegations by Tommy against BDO and Lord Hodge going to ground are interesting developments.
The corrupt Crown versus The corrupt treasury is what we may be witnessing.
With HMRC and the creditors and any opponent of Rangers and anyone who believes in justice and fairness in the middle.
Who is going to win this wee battle ?

“Ally” Lamont must be ‘away’…………..

Will Motherwell be suing the SPL for 2nd place prize money from last season
Craigy boy doesn`t seem to have any doubts about the validity or otherwise of the ETB`s
Sally has known what his role will be since Martin Bain gave him his 1.n million dollar bullet proof contract.

I know they are fronts, but I hinestly don’t think the real players are kackin their breeks.
They are being protected, guys like Whyte and Green are not part of the masonic cabal in scotland, they will be thrown to the wolves.

That’s what makes this site so great, the answer is staring us in the face, yet most of us can’t see the woods for the trees.

It’s only 50 seconds and I’m not too good with technical stuff but I am sure somebody out there could do a rehash for our hero.

Think you’re correct regards their awful results in Europe after Whyte taking over. Reasonably you’d have expected better results against fairly average sides with little income.
McCoist truly is a woeful manager and a poor excuse for a decent human being.
Neil Francis Lennon to Fat Sally’s shell like….nae whisper….a big wallopin’ bellow so we, they, everyone can hear it: ” We’ll be havin’ our titles back now, ya fat wee $#1£€…”

Do you know if it is possible to get the full interview under freedom of infornation ?
Rangers got the tax bill about …4 years ago.

I have had a few illusions shattered by the Murray/Whyte/Green fakeover scam.
As a non-financial guy, I’d always assumed there was a correlation between intelligence and the ability to make and keep money. I thought that, in order to make money by scamming the money men, you’d have to be twice as bright.
Hollywood examples of guys who pulled a caper in “The Sting” or “Ocean’s Eleven” show us a world where detailed planning and closely co-ordinated manoeuvres are required to outwit the smart , but not genius-level, moneymen.
Even when it was not a criminal enterprise, you had to be devious like Gordon Gekko in “Wall Street” or brass-necked amoral like the Mark Zuckerberg character in “the Social Network”, in order to get one over on your bright competitors.
And where real life meets crime you had to be “the smartest guys in the room” to attempt the Enron scandal.
But, where Hollywood gave us evil and amorality with intelligence and sophistication, Scotland gave us David Murray, tax avoider who personified Embra financial district’s “fur coat and nae knickers” persona, Craig Whyte, the little boy who could not tell the truth because he has been spinning lies all his life, and Charlie Green the professional Yorkshireman, who believes he can con previous victims to fall for the same scam again.
I haven’t heard a narrative from any of them that made me stop and think “You know, he might have something there.” They all sound implausible, as if they have been scripted by Jeffrey Archer, and they all expect to utter soundbites with inherent contradictions contained within, and expect to be believed.
We all laugh at Rangers fans for swallowing their garbage but I understand enough of the passion that drives us as football fans, to know that, if I were a Sevconian, I’d want to believe them too. My initial reaction would be to suspend disbelief and take some comfort in their re-assurance because “who wants bad news?”
And yet, at some stage, I’d expect some of the more sceptical bears to wake up and ask who has slept in their beds, eaten their porridge, broken their chairs, and stole all their life savings. I’d expect that the more intelligent bears would wake up first but the only bear bellowing is Bomber Brown.
Not only am I not getting super-intelligent villains, I am not getting smart “good (?)” guys.
Sevco Society is truly dumbing down.
They’ll be buying shares in their liquidation next.

I would doubt it.
The rest will be on the cutting floor !!!

I know what I’d like to whisper in his ear ……..that game ‘said it all’ for me …… The incredible behaviour of the zombies throughout was completely ‘covered up’ ……. Now we know it was all part of the attempt to save them ………. Pathetic cretins, all of them
My head is battered with all this, been lurking for too long! Need a rest. In answer to the Emmerdale question thought it was great. Views, colour and sound was fantastic fair bit a talent to boot!
Wish I was going to Barcelona! Mon the Hoops.

Your to nice a guy
I hope they get ripped off again and again. It might lead eventually to a break through in therapy for the deranged.
Take the positives from the game ;-)

allright bud,
i was in essen last night, sitting with 2 turks, a yank and a slovak for our dinner, while watching the Germany game.
the place ended up packed out, with noisy , mostly middle aged men, cheering on the game.
all was sweetness and light while they were 4-0 up.
there was 2 swede business men at next table who got a torrid time of slagging.
as the game turned, jeese oh so did the mood, particulalry at the turks and the swedes
is there ever any trouble when the germans get a bad result ?
Lennybhoy.
Thinking the steaming and a rolling would be appropriate for bomber as well.
@chrisshields10: @THE_TBK Anyone remember when N Doncaster said “no one could foresee RFC admin/liq” Craigy Bhoy say he was told back in Oct 11

How is the: “We Deserve Better” campaign Going over @ iPox..?

The fly in the ointment of the murray/green/whyte scam
was the ordinary fan. They done all their deals not once
thinking about the man in the street. Arrogance personified.
sftb,
brilliant line, made me laugh anyways –
And yet, at some stage, I’d expect some of the more sceptical bears to wake up and ask who has slept in their beds, eaten their porridge, broken their chairs, and stole all their life savings. I’d expect that the more intelligent bears would wake up first but the only bear bellowing is Bomber Brown.
I know this is stupid, but stupid is as stupid does : if there are 500,000,000 of them as bona fide fans of the blue rinsers, then if they each stumped up one single nugget they’d have the most magnificent club in Scotland and bragadoccio would be rightfully theirs.
But naw…they’ve got some penthouse paupers, off-the-radar motormouths and a few no hoper fans with pockets sewn tight, and a stadium that’ll be due a visit from health and safety very soon, a leccy bill that’ll burst them and a team that struggles in the 4th. tier.
An’ Craigy oana telly…
Take it wee bbc chris isn’t on twitter tonight?
He will probably be stuck in some cupboard at the BBC getting a talking to by Herr Jabba.
Apologies for any visual images that may conjur up at this time of the evening.

If we are to believe CW, that the SPL knew they were going bust last october, and I see no reason not to believe him, the facts are they were skint, they had just been papped oot of europe, and CW said that he discussed it with Doncaster and Topping, which I am inclined to believe him on this.
Are we to believe therefor, that the rest of the SPL clubs didn’t know also, I would doubt that Doncaster and Topping kept it to themselfs.

They can also thank HMRC for allowing them to be ripped off again. Nothing HMRC likes more than protecting the rich and ripping off the proles especially dumb ass bigoted proles.
Let them eat cake.

” It might lead eventually to a break through in therapy for the deranged.”
Now, that made me laugh.
