I imagine they're fully aware that the fans want some facts pronto, be surprised if they're not out in the press Monday.

Don't know about on the record but I think you may find some answers in the Record.....

Lost in translation, I think

If Clark and Whitehouse are working 7 days a week and 10 hours a day (which is not an unrealistic possibility) then we could well be paying well over 80 odd £k a week just for those 2 alone.

Basically the following £'s per hour +VAT Partners........................480 - 545 Managers/Directors........305 - 480 Seniors..........................190 - 310 Assistants/Support staff ..30 - 170 Recovering debts is 10% of money recovered + expenses, so if they recover the £3.6m they're after it's very nice payday.

They have cast doubt on the validity of his security from day one but it's one thing talking about it and another thing to actually do something about it, I'd like to see some sign that they're actually actively trying to invalidate it rather than just talking about it.

I would imagine any prospective buyer with the slightest background in sports related business would call Alastair Johnston long before they would call David Murray.

For all intents and purposes we are a completely different business from the one Murray sold.

A year too late we already upgraded the catering facilities!

Why would any prospective owner take anything David Murray said seriously?

Pretty much agree with your article save for this bit... Think you're being far to generous towards Murray, remember what he bought? at the time we were by far the biggest club in Britain not just Scotland but Britain and look to where he brought us to the very edge of extinction. Who had heard of Murray before he bought RFC ? very few outside the steel sector of the Scottish business community, we were nothing to him but a tool for boosting his oversized ego, when he'd had enough and obtained his knighthood he cast us aside in the manner that a child casts aside a broken toy. I keep seeing Murray described as a "businessman" but he's nothing of the sort he's merely a salesman, albeit consummate salesman at that but nevertheless a salesman not a businessman, now reduced to flogging plonk.

I'm afraid it will take more than the meandering ramblings of Craig Whyte's former cheerleader in chief to persuade me of the merits of the BK's and Ticketus.

Was just going to post the very same thing! I think (perhaps merely hope) that the BK's would not misjudge their constituency by that much for one second as to think that having such a divisive, corrosive figure as Dingwall anywhere near the board of RFC would bring anything other than trouble. It's not the SFA fit and proper test they have to worry about but rather the RFC fans fit and proper test. For one the bouncy bouncy cheques story will be on the front page of every paper. I have not been overly impressed with the BK's over the last week and they really need to up their game pronto.

Didn't he make his fortune betting on the 2010 World Cup ?.....

No, are you Craig Whyte?

Bit like saying Harold Shipman was great for the NHS because he lowered the waiting list....

There are over 60 "Ticketus companies", they are basically tax efficient investment vehicles for wealthy individuals. IIRC they have a fixed lifespan of 5 years (but stand to be corrected) which raises questions re the proposed BK deal. They seem to have disregarded their own business model in order to do the deal with Whyte. They are victims of their own greed and stupidity, I'm inclined to say f*&k em. I remain to be convinced that it's worth getting into bed with them, it may well be in our long term interest to be with them it's just that I can't see it at the moment.

From today's FT

Were any members of the RFC plc board or any employees of the Murray Group or LBG who were involved with the sale process aware of Craig Whyte's ban as a company director prior to the completion of his takeover of RFC plc?

Why did you just spend nine months regurgitating Jack Irvine's lies to the detriment of all those who care for RFC ?

I'm afraid these piecemeal statements are doing more harm to their cause than good. It's no good making these statements without explaining the facts, they're just sowing the seeds of confusion when what's need is clarity. We've just had 9 months (more probably) of being kept in the dark like mushrooms, were lessons not learned?

Oops didn't see it elsewhere....
