    It was Sir Duped of Murray who for some reason allowed CW to takeover the club, ignoring concerns raised by the Independent Board Committee and an alternative offer. Apparently the bank strongly advised SDM on this course of action. The SFA and it's regulations at that point puts the onus on the club to do the due diligence. After BBC Scotland revealed a previous directorship ban on CW in October 2011, the SFA wrote to CW/Rangers but I don't believe ever received a satisfactory reply from CW/Rangers. There were no accounts or AGM in 2011.

    Grier is an important link throughout. IIRC, author (whilst with bank) of the floating charge for Sir Duped in 1999 Advisor to CW pre and post takeover (2010/11) Partner of MCR taken over by Duff and Phelps He was present at the meeting (Charlotte Square, Edinburgh) during the administration process that saw Clark and Whitehouse speak to SDM and McGill.

    You might be too late. I reckon 'interested and opportunist parties' might have already put down a deposit, or at least tried to. There is a market for them and you'd imagine they'll be going cheap (if they're selling).

    Both were under investigation as at last summer. BDO are due to report soon.

    The world of 'enemy cabals' are mainly used to deflect attention away from reallity. Follow the Money.

    Good, the more the merrier. How old is David Grier ? No use asking Sir Duped anything, he obviously knows nothing Will there be a squealer ? ps. Forgive me, it's been a longtime coming

    Yes, it makes more sense that this would at least come first. Police Scotland were looking at the 2012 purchase of assets aswell but I don't know if they continue to do or not.

    I take it this is the CG&Co 2012 purchase of assets ? edit @BBCchrismclaug · 1 minutes ago BBC learns 4 men detained across the UK this morning as part of the Police Scotland investigation into acquisition of #Rangers in 2012.

    There is a simple order of play that many would see as reasonable. 1. Meaningful Transparency and Reasonable Questions fully answered. 2. Degree of Trust and Engagement 3. React to Events (not spin), if positive then things get better, trust increases etc. Step one requires meaningful engagement, not spin based on the size of a bank account.

    Jim went very public with his backing for the CG&Co purchase of assets and echoed the Irvinesque 'partyline' back in June 2012. So he was either a bad judge with a frontline seat or happy to tow the party line for whatever motive. I've head many mention that he can be very helpful with the day to day business but it would seem if any role or influence he may have within the 'political' isn't always so constructive for the longterm interests of the club.

    Well put Frankie ! If you boil it down, it's all about dividing the 'spoils'.......... .............and doing the arithmetic/corporate jiggery pokerey, that looks for a way of keeping the gravytrain on the tracks at our expense and for their benefit.

    As job losses loom at Ibrox, are Jim Hannah and Irene Munro safe from the metaphorical axe?

    Why would they need to speak to BS over the abnormal retail agreement, does BS or friends have something that Llambias wants? Thoughts?

    It'll be interesting to see where they end up if Burton remove them from their shops.

    It's easier and more pleasent to listen with hope, to tales of a billionaire than to look deeply and with realism, into a nest of vipers. To hope, one should be able to Trust. At this point in time, I see no good reason why one would 'hope' with such force that was strong enough to dismiss doubt. At this point in time, the situation in front of us points to the sensible road being doubt/vigilance. It shows a continued lack of transparency, an unwillingness to engage or address the serious questions.

    Try reading the OP where BH himself describes all of the above.

    The retail joint venture between TRFC and Sports Direct from the summer of 2012 had Leach and Stockbridge both on the Rangers Retail board. The retail deal that Rangers still have to see a penny of in it's cashflow.

    Yes, I agree but if they haven't then you play the ball from where it is and the club say there will be no 12th man. More importantly, the majority of the RFB will know that they need to get to the bottom of what happened in the BH mystery and inform their membership and the general supporter. Then there will be any club input/instructions to consider. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

    By the time the election is called, organised and held it'd be nearly time for more elections. It's not fair on the eleven others to be expected or to be able to pick up the slack in a focused way, which in turn means the away fans don't receive the service they should get. I wasn't a fan of BH at the macro or potential office bearer roles but at the micro level of sorting out problems of away fans I reckon he'd have done a good job.
  22. buster.
    That is pretty much the option that they were left with regards wording. That doesn't seem fair on anyone. Whoever finished 2nd in the election should get it.

    It was only a casual thought based on conjecture. We await the next meeting for another 500 post whodunnit

    With Ashely, he might look to exploit the membership scheme in a commercial way. If individuals on any RFB presented problems, I'm sure he'd find ways of dealing with them.
  25. buster.
    You'd be forgiven for wondering if they were looking to embroil the RFB in it's own problems at this sensitive time for the club going forward.
