amms 0 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Looking past any criticisms some might have with the production values or presentation skills the programme employed I don't know how we can criticise its content. I certainly didn't know that a Duff & Phelps employee had set up the deal with Ticketus, that alone casts a serious doubt on them surely? The inference I took from that this has been set up since day one. Daly stopped short of saying it but it was certainly what I felt he inferred. His point about Murray's motivation in buying Rangers being ego and status based seemed a bit self obvious until I realised he was using it to make us ask what Whyte's motivation was. Clearly ego and influence aren't Whyte's motivation, so what was? It can surely only be profit. I also didn't know Murray had taken over £6 million from the EBT scheme. I'm not sure though if he took that from Rangers or from another Murray company, I didn't think that was very clear. The actions of Mike McGill clearly need more investigation. Normally it is Donald Muir who gets the blame but McGill was clearly up to his neck in the Whyte subterfuge as well. The Souness £30 grand does look pretty iffy, in the scheme of things though it is buttons. But it probably gives an insight into how transfers still take place in modern football. I agree there still no clear evidence of double contracts. Beyond that I'm not sure Daly can be criticised. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebear54 0 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 They have lied to us. What's to stop them lying to the court. They seem to care little for their reputation. Frankie, as others have found out, it's not the best idea to lie to courts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 D&P coming out strong against the programme. Threatening legal action against the BBC. Where have we heard that before? I trust we're not paying for it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Going back to the takeover, there was a clause for it to be void if one party fraudulently misrepresented themselves. Given it is pretty clear Whyte has why hasn't Murray implemented the clause? Murray is up to his neck in it by the looks of things, but if the administrators were on the level and not in cahoots then I would've thought that they should've been able to have the takeover contract terminated pretty swiftly or at least have been able to quickly get the court to award them control of the shareholding without much of a problem. The fact that D&P didn't go after legal control of the shareholding completely stinks. It's something they should have done in March. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Frankie, as others have found out, it's not the best idea to lie to courts. Throughout this I get the impression some key figures think they're about the law of the land and/or media coverage. They've made mistakes based on this pride before. Enough for jail-time? We'll see. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What evidence proved Murray took 6M from the EBT scheme? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Ramsay Smith was at the back of the room at the fans meeting last week. If they;re not happy then they should resign. The club have their own PR department after all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
