There are two types of people you don’t want to mess with, those with enormous resources, and those with so little going for them, they have nothing to lose. It doesn’t matter how self-righteous you feel, if you go to battle against either, you will likely end up a loser.
You and I agree that Mike Ashley is one of the last people you would want with an undue influence on your football club, but Mike is not a guy you do battle with. He’s simply too powerful, too rich, with too many good lawyers to stand a hope against.
On the opposite end of the scale, you have Our Hero, Craig Whyte, who pitched up at Glasgow High Court this morning, for his trial in connection with his purchase of Rangers in 2011, prior to the clubs descent into liquidation a year later.
The Great Football Swindle was not a one-man job, but Craig is the only man in the dock. He has nothing to lose, no friends to protect and no reason to respect discrete courtesies.
Rangers’ administrators, Duff and Phelps, entered into an irrevocable contract to sell the club’s assets to Sevco 5088 Ltd during the Summer of Love (2012), a company which Whyte claims a controlling interest in. Those assets were, however, sold to Sevco Scotland Ltd, later renamed The Rangers Football Club Ltd (and sitting third in the Scottish Premiership).
That transaction has been disputed since, and four years ago yesterday, Newco Rangers founder, Charles Green, announced his intention to resign, after Craig Whyte revealed he was a director of Sevco 5088 Ltd, a company publicly represented by Green at the time it entered into a contract with Rangers’ administrators.
Evidence revealed at this criminal trial will be of enormous interest to many.
Oh, and the ‘Our Hero’ thing, Craig Whyte is no one’s hero, I’m mocking those who treated him as such when they should have worked to protect their club. He was a very transparent exploiter.

………………………….
A bit of an old fart moment there bud………….:_)
JJ, if you want to watch the game on Sunday give me a bell. I’ll be demented watching this on my lonesome.
Well done the young hoops, you should have smashed the little orcs senseless in the first half. What a finish by young Aitchison, dancing feet.
HH the young Celts
Delaney’s, there will be plenty of things that will haunt the hun training ground if HMRC win the supreme court case.
Good night all and sleep well.
MOONBEAMSWD
No worries even a thickie like me understood.
Hun media moaning we kicked the new Fleck off the park and how cynical we were with our treatment of him,
The reality of him being a diving we tit who was totally out of his depth is to much for them to bear.
Dallas
Glasgow Warriors new training pitch at Auchenhowie?
Paul Murray loves ra Warriors more than Gers I hear. :)
The huns are excusing tonight’s defeat to our young hoops with the excuse that our team are much older than theirs.
Professor hun, mathematical genius and possible brother of Arnold the blue accountant took this list and managed to come up with an average age of 17.04……………………………:_)
FFS, there’s not a number over 17 but he still managed t cheat the calculator.
These uneducated fanny’s deserve the ridicule.
Celtic
Mullen – 15
Potter – 17
Church – 16
Deas – 17
Welsh – 17
Marku – 17
Campbell – 16
McInroy – 16
Aitchison – 17
Henderson – 17
Caffrey – 17
Savoury – 16
Rae – 16
Robertson – ?
Kennedy – ?
McGrath – 16
Kerr – 16
McKay – 16
Ave 16.44, slightly higher then the young orc average but not worthy of an excuse for being outplayed.
Suffer hun, suffer.
I assumed Robertson and Kennedy both to be 17 to give professor Kitzel the benefit of the doubt? They may be younger?
Did any of these hun morons attend at kind of formal education?
Funniest thing is that nobody on hunmedia has challenged the professor’s calculation….:_)
ACGR- Figures never been a strong point with those halfwits mate.
ACGR
Stop trying to suss the pea brain huns.
Revel in their misery.
Their great hopes for the future are poorer than the pish in their top team. The cleverer ones wi double digit IQs in their rabble are seeing this.
Their Grandchildren are gonny be Tims, and they ken it.
Which is nice.
Huns stealing money off of huns. Its a circular reference.

There is no depth they will not sink to and that is their club ambassadors.
Utter shite on a shit stained shoe.
Findlay’s function is to be the pivotal front man to prevent any Scottish judiciary moving in on Murray mints.

There are two types of people you don’t want to messi with, those who were really at The $ümm@ 0f L0v€ 1988 and those with so little going for them, they think The Summer of Love was in 5088. It doesn’t matter how self-righteous you feel, if you were at the First $ümm@ 0f L0v€ 1988, the self righteous can Never make You believe that (2012) came close..you will Never end up a loser.

Stop wi the rain-dances,mate. I like it when it’s dry at night.
Makes my shift a whole lot easier.
HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY AT GLASGOW
Continued Preliminary Hearing: 3 October 2016
(002) you CRAIG THOMAS WHYTE, being an officer of a company, namely a director of The Rangers Football Club plc, a company incorporated under the Companies Acts, with company number SC004276 and having its registered office at Ibrox Stadium, 150 Edmiston Drive, Glasgow (hereinafter referred to as the “Club”),
—————
So deffinetly the incorporated club that is being liquidated
OH DEAR

The full indictment…
Hmm, I’ll leave this here…
‘…you CRAIG THOMAS WHYTE, with intent to acquire a majority and controlling stake in the shareholding of the Club from Murray through Wavetower Limited a company…’
Not just a shareholding of the Club, but of a Club with a capital ‘C’!
OH DEAR ,OH DEAR
MYTHBUSTERS CSC
Something to remember if ‘same club’ is ever raised again; this is a criminal trial, the indictment must be accurate and have no ambiguous words, terms or names (we might not understand them all, but every word will have been picked over and all the legalese will be correct, even if we can’t get our heads around it). We can be 100% sure that if anything existed within the walls of Ibrox, or was just ‘believed’ to exist, that could, in any way, be described as a club, other than the one described in the document as Rangers Football Club plc, whether spelt with a small ‘c’, capital ‘C’, or even a ‘K’, they would not be using the word ‘Club’ as synonymous with that public limited company known as Rangers Football Club plc!
There is no need to risk such confusion, they could quite simple refer to it as ‘the Company’!
For anyone who might think otherwise, what I’ve just written is factual, and not merely opinion.
OH DEAR ,OH DEAR,OH DEAR .

Mags,
It certainly is an interesting choice of representation. Is it a choice, does one get to choose or is such a fellow thrust upon one?
Quietly chaotic and quite clever or quintessentially corrupt?
Best boozer in Berlin to watch game on Sunday ?
Anyone ?
HH
Hmmmm
Not sure I can share Mag’s point of view on Donald the Cowdenbeath Director for a whole host of reasons.
I don’t believe there is any love lost there and Donald has no need to seek Murray’s patronage at all. Within his own sphere of influence DF has his own reputation (of which he is fiercely proud) to preserve and protect and he will not risk one iota of that to protect David Murray by selling Craig Whyte or any other client down the river.
Further, he will not risk his standing with instructing solicitors who provide him with his everyday bread and butter by selling any client’s interests in favour of the likes of Murray.
I repeat something I mentioned long ago, namely that when representing one of the others who were originally charged on conspiracy charges, one leading QC stressed that one of the biggest questions for the crown to answer was why SDM did not appear on the indictment as an accused and instead appeared as a witness?
No doubt all will be revealed in due course.
