SteveC 150 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) On a sidenote ... is there anything in the actual article that tells us something definite about the title-deeds? I'll second that question. The front cover brings back memories of Green's "Dallas Cowboy e-mail". Nothing is actually shown, everything is claimed.

SteveC 150 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) On a sidenote ... is there anything in the actual article that tells us something definite about the title-deeds? Not going to be seen online as: To view our exclusive pictures of the title deed documents and to read an in-depth Q&A with Ibrox finance chief Stockbridge – pick up a copy of today's Sunday Mail. So, we need a brave volunteer to actually get, or at least look at, a copy of the hated rag. (I do not have any access to a printed copy, btw, only ones sold near me are always early editions printed the day before and missing the main stories in case rivals pinch 'em.) Here's what is said in the online version: --- RANGERS finance chief Brian Stockbridge opened the Ibrox safe last night to show the title deeds he claims prove Craig Whyte is on a loser. Stockbridge has accused the former owner of holding Rangers to ransom and says he is “deluded” if he thinks he can win back control of Ibrox and Murray Park. In a MailSport exclusive, Stockbridge insisted every penny from the club’s recent £22million share flotation went into Rangers’ coffers and the club is still sitting with “double digit” millions in its bank account. The 39-year-old confirmed former chief executive Charles Green, who resigned last week, is in line for a pay-off, believed to be a substantial six-figure sum, with disgraced fellow director Imran Ahmad also set to trouser a severance package. But Stockbridge is adamant he won’t follow them out the door and is not toxic in the eyes of supporters, who are anticipating another summer of off-field turmoil. He also defended the club’s decision to appoint Deloitte to undertake an in-depth inquiry into the relationship between Green and Whyte when the auditors worked so closely with the former chief executive in the past. Stockbridge revealed he expects the result of their probe within a week and added: “Deloitte are a professional, independent organisation with different teams. It’s not a light-touch investigation.” The Ibrox finance chief also insisted Whyte had no claim on any of the Rangers assets and stated that he didn’t have any shred of a legal case. Stockbridge said: “I have the title deeds for Ibrox, Murray Park and the Albion car park. There is speculation Craig Whyte owns them, or Charles, or that the club doesn’t. It is very easily dispelled. “Most of the rumours circulating are malicious and designed to destabilise. Fans need clarity and to know there is nothing untoward in the company – and there isn’t.” --- I wonder if the cover is a hint of what the photos really are - just folders, no actual names. I doubt the folders on the cover are real either. Just "artists' impressions" of what might be in that "safe" were it actually unlocked. My quote marks are because I suspect the opening lines re the safe being opened to be typical Scottish journalism. i.e. fiction.

SteveC 150 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The answers would appear to be: a) desperation b) no This makes it worse, not better. Not that names on the deeds would necessarily allay fears anyway. Lets, for argument's sake, say the name is "Sevco Scotland". Wouldn't affect Satan's recent claim in the slightest. However that even that name is not shown in this supposed "clear the air" piece just inflames suspicions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
