“I brought Charles Green in to buy Rangers”

851

“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!

    I am wondering the same thing.

     

     

    Why has Craigy Whytes come forward now?

     

     

    I wish someone would ask him ,how he plans to make a profit out of his Rangers ownership.

  2. Difficult for senior members at the club not to know about not paying tax and PAYE…… Members of the media knew about the non payment in October……………Craigybhoy

    The game is finished, and folks who think they will get justice are seriously deluding themselfs, I feel sorry that they are going to be well dissapointed.

    If he is to be believed, BDO are implicated, so being the pessimist that I am, I won’t be holding my breath for BDO to do anything that will harm the huns.

  6. Once A Bhoy..... on

    @RhebelRhebel: Craig Whyte says Alex Salmond tried to broker a deal with HMRC to save Rangers.

    I called the head man at BDO and asked him if they had 23% of shares in Sevco and surprise surprise he hung up on me.

    Anyone still voting for Salmond?

     

     

    the unionists?

  13. I think Whytie’s making his case publically…getting the first blow in, as he knows the merde is approaching the windmill. How he knows this is above my paygrade, but he definitely knows something. He looks remarkably relaxed and sleekitly well off for a supposed palatial down’n’out. And why did he choose BBC Scotland? He set the time, the place, the setting….probably directed it. All very splish splash and tickety boo. The hallmarks of a master spinmeister.

     

    All we need now is some gun-running thrown into the mix and we have an episode of ‘Spooks’.

     

    How I miss Jack Bauer.

  16. I think murray got whyte to liquidate the club, green would get club for a song

     

    and would have no debt and they would be in the spl. Splitting profits and

     

    everyone happy. Enter fans they end up in div 3 no income and no future.

     

     

    No honesty amongst thieves
