Does Whyte have a piece of paper to prove he was ever legally involved with Sevco 5088 or is he still claiming he's involved because Green told him he was while he was getting shafted.

 

a verbal contract is binding in scotland. I am quite sure the police will be able to get all the paperwork for the setting up of the company no problem. probably already have it.

 

d&p may be able to say they didn't know but green wint have much luck.

 

as I say regardless of what's in writing. I have green admitting whyte was sevco 5088 and d&p document is clear on the deal to sell us to sevco in return for a loan.

But surely it's all irrelevant? Sevco 5088 turned out not to form any part of the final deal, so whatever was agreed in respect of that company doesn't matter.

you may think its irrelevant that green entered into a deal to hand rangers back to whyte post admin. I certainly don't.

 

we also only have greens word he did stiff him. though I conceed the info we have so far backs up that claim.

Well if all this true I'm sure we will see Whyte in court soon, pity he wasted all his best evidence going to the papers. But as you say I'm sure the court case is coming soon.

Roddy Forsyth in the Telegraph

Anybody who doubts that can start with Rangers’ share price. After the euphoria of the oversubscribed public stock offer in December – when shares opened on the Alternative Investment Market at 75p and moved to a high of 94p on Jan 7 – their value has steadily declined to yesterday’s price of 70.5p, the level at which they were originally offered.

A certain amount of speculative trading was bound to occur, given Green’s relentless promotion of Rangers as a debt-free club whose business plan included a move to England and ultimate access to the Klondike riches of the Premier League. The Ibrox chief executive also made much of the disproportionate size of the home crowds for the bread-and-water diet of SFL3 football.

Green’s spiel was that Rangers were heading towards the promised land. Others, including this observer, pointed out that unless the club are permitted to depart Scottish football in the three years until their likely return to the SPL, Rangers will inevitably be drawn once again into a football arms race with Celtic – and almost certainly on the Parkhead model of scouring far and wide for talent that can be sold on to England at a necessary profit.

But for bringing the club to the market in a stable condition after the convulsive events of the previous year, Green was accorded considerable praise. Since then, though, he has run down his store of credit fast – and most rapidly this week.

The past few days have been dominated by Green’s defence of calling Imran Ahmad “my little P--- friend,” followed by the “unreserved apology” which testified to how very badly he miscalculated the likely reaction to the latest example of what he likes to render as his bluff, no-nonsense Yorkshire demeanour.

 

Green employed the “all-God’s-chillun” argument that he had been brought up in a mining community where creed and colour made no difference, only to blow his own case apart with the further declaration that when he played for Worksop Town “the other striker was ‘Darkie’ Johnson”.

And he has form with this sort of thing. At a recent press briefing at Ibrox, he remarked: “We used to put kids down the mine. Maybe we should put women back down again.”

Fire up the Quattro! Gene Hunt is in charge at Ibrox! Certainly, Green pays as much attention to his advisers as the fictional DCI would have heeded a course in political correctness, but his biggest public misjudgment so far has been to assume that, at worst, he could emerge from this episode with nothing more than an enhanced reputation for clumsy buffoonery.

Far more serious, however, is the accusation by Craig Whyte that he and Green were in cahoots over the takeover by Sevco last summer. Now, the disgraced former owner – who appears determined to take others down with him into the debris of last year’s financial collapse – has as much credibility as a Confederate three dollar note, but he still has the capacity to inflict damage.

In that respect alarm bells rang when Whyte forced Green to reveal that he [Whyte] has managed to deposit £134,000 into Ahmad’s mother’s bank account – and refuses to take it back.

Walter Smith, at Ibrox on Wednesday to promote a charity fixture with Manchester United, was tetchy when pressed about his response – as a non-executive director – to the alleged concealment of material financial information which emerged only through Whyte’s disclosures to a tabloid newspaper.

In his position on the board, Smith – like his fellow non-executive directors – has a statutory duty to scrutinise financial matters.

He is, of course, entirely correct to insist that he can only monitor the information at his disposal, but since he was appointed as the figure associated with Rangers most likely to reassure the supporters that their club is being run with rectitude, Smith is now bound to demand that Green explain why such a material fact as money paid by Whyte – albeit not into an account directly used by the club – was not divulged to the directors, who would surely have foreseen the likely corrosive impact on trust in the business.

Meanwhile, what does Malcolm Murray have to say about his chief executive’s practices? We do not know because the chairman, who has the same initials as Marcel Marceau, is even less communicative. He did not respond to any of Telegraph Sport questions about the developments of the last week – this from a chairman of a club which still regards itself as Scotland’s biggest.

The silence cannot be maintained because Rangers’ saga has not reached its end-game by any means. The statement on Wednesday by Police Scotland that they had raided several premises in Scotland and England in connection with Whyte’s takeover of the club in 2011 was intended, the Telegraph Sport understands, to complete the assembly of background details before detectives move to engage principal figures involved in the deal.

Furthermore, there are intersecting police enquiries which extend to business activity concerning Rangers after 2011. All of which, to return to the imminent board meeting, means that what urgently requires to emerge from the board meeting is absolute transparency.

Without that, the non-executive directors must consider their position. Frankly – after the week Rangers have had – they have to consider Green’s too.
