“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!

  1. I recall an interview with Wiggy Smith where the Rankers former SFA man

     

    claimed he was never party to the financial state the huns were in during

     

    his time working under Whyte.

     

     

    Ok Gordon,so you read the newspapers but not the internet bampot sites.

     

     

    Why did your pals at the SFA / SPL not inform you of impeding doom ?

    Ironic -Smith , the wigged one, acting in haste and giving Levein comments..

     

     

    I m still waiting , as we all are ,for Minty reflections and condemnations ..

     

     

    It’s easier when it’s not one of the tax dodgers .. Watch Regan too,suddenly become efficient .

  4. Wee change of tack.. The Poster “good ship Celtica”is at this moment up in GRI awaiting the birth of my grandchild. Hope n pray.. Everything gonny be alright copyright..Bob Marley,

  5. Gene's a Bhoys name on

    I think in all of this it’s a case of which liar do you want to believe / disbelieve the most. It’s not a can of worms more like a barrel of snakes.

  6. Once A Bhoy..... on

    Tom English saying he can prove CW statement re 75% chance of admin a lie cos he threatened to sue any paper who printed stories re admin….eh! How does that prove he is lying? All it proves is he didn’t want it to become public knowledge and that the reporters were cowards in not printing.

  7. Once A Bhoy..... on

    Did the SPL notify member clubs last year when they were informed admin was inevitable, that they had no money and that chances of a cvs we’re slim?

     

     

    If not why not? Surely they had a duty to do so to protect members in their dealings with them.

  8. They all sound a little bit uncomfartble on shortbread

     

     

    Wtf did english mention celtic for

  9. Jabba must be away with Green working on his defence for tomorrow’s DR, and their valiant attempt to save a Share Issue.

  10. BDO must take control of I’pox and Murray park……

     

     

    They are all at it , lying cheating scum

  11. While we rejoice in the latest outburst from the distracting patsies……..let’s remember the busted flush and his pivotal role in this….quintessentially scoddish….pantomime.

     

     

    “OhYesHe is” CSC

  12. Once A Bhoy…..Great point,when did they sign Wallace from Hearts ? Whyte said he told them in October they were bust.

  13. So let me get this straight Ogilvie and Regan have slapped a transfer ban on Hearts for being a few days late with the wages, but allowed an insolvent Rangers to play cup games against clubs, and deal in the transfer market when they knew that those other clubs would end up out of pocket!

     

     

    Double standards or what?

  14. fergus slayed the blues on

    Has anyone downloaded the bbc interview with CW .he fecked that up big time .

     

    It will take weeks to pick the slip ups out of this .

     

    The interesting bit was when he was asked how much he had made and he slipped The money I got from him or the guy is confidential .

     

    Can anyone verify that this is in fact what he said ,if so , who is him/guy

  15. Interesting to note the huns reaction to the CW interview on twitter is to largely shoot the messenger .

     

     

    This time last year they were after the head of Mark Daly who dared to suggest C whyte may be a bit dodgy,

     

     

    They will never learn

  16. @jamesdoleman: Is it time for a Leveson type inquiry into the #Rangers fiasco. Press, politicians and SFA all have questions to answer.

  17. fergus slayed the blues on

    When CW said he was telling the spl that ragers were bust ,were they not top of the league and if so were the spl willing to let them trade insolvently to win the SPL at the expense of Celtic

  18. Magnificentseven on

    bhoys and ghirls…..are you aware that the World Cup Cycling is on at the Velodrome the same time as the race night….be prepared get there early

  19. Im sure whyte said HMRC knew oldco were not paying tax from last sept/oct and they spoke to oldco board regularly about this, Is this the way the tax authorities work here?
