simplythebest 0 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm not actually trying to defend Craig Whyte here, he clearly didn't care what happened eventually. But I can't see our demise being his actual aim, I think his hope would have been to own a healthy Rangers without having spent a penny himself. As I said, chancing that HMRC would do deals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 how could he hope to own a healthy rangers if he didn't pay a penny's tax. or indeed any other bill he wasn't taken to court over. or with 9 million a year in repayments to ticketus. ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Craig whyte bought a healthy rangers. he immediately cut our income, increased our costs and started piling up debt. I find it hard to see how we aren't exactly where Mr whyte invisaged right now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovanAllan 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 14 million in debt. championship winning squad and income exceeding costs by over 10 million. we are exactly where whyte put us. So we where making 10mill profit a year, that's news to me. Now take that 10mill away after the CL shambles. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now take that 10mill away after the CL shambles. yes the profit was in cl years. but even without we would have been breaking even more or less. as I say whyte bought a healthy company and there's no reason for us not to be a healthy club right now. other than whytes determined efforts to drive us to where we are now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are already forgetting the 4000lb gorilla in the room. If you just pretend he's not there then you're pretty much spot on... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not forgetting it but it could still be a dead duck not a gorilla. fact is right now we would be fine if not for whyte. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the threatening behaviour of the gorilla that scared Murray and Lloyds into selling the club and made all decent buyers shite themselves. Whyte came in as someone who likes to profit from gorilla hunting. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
