Scottish FA considering investigation into Rangers links with Whyte

[ian1964 10,415]

The Scottish FA is considering launching an investigation of links between Rangers and former owner Craig Whyte.

 

Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan said that it was yet to be decided if an inquiry would be set in motion to determine if Whyte had any connections to the club.

 

Regan said that findings from the Ibrox club's own inquiry into the matter had been passed to the Scottish FA. That information has been reviewed and senior figures at Hampden are considering their next course of action.

 

Whyte was banned by the governing body from having any involvement in Scottish football following his time at Rangers and is being pursued by the Scottish FA for a fine levied as part of a disciplinary charge.

 

The former Rangers owner has since claimed that he was a director of Sevco 5088, which was formed in the initial stages of Charles Green's buyout of Rangers' assets. The Scottish FA requested information from Rangers about any connection with Whyte but was awaiting the outcome of the club's own investigation.

 

That investigation, undertaken by Pinsent Masons LLP, failed to find any evidence of links between Whyte and Sevco Scotland - the company used by a consortium led by businessman Charles Green to acquire the club's assets last year - or Rangers International Football Club plc.

 

However, Rangers did not comment on the investigation's findings on the alleged links between Green, Whyte and Sevco 5088 - a separate company which had an exclusive deal with Rangers' administrators to buy the club's assets.

An attempt to deflect attention from the failure to progress their agenda at today's meeting?

Not another one? What is wrong with these people? Is it a way of keeping their nose in our current business? Spying for the enemy?

I'd like more details on that as well, given 5088 is owned by Rangers.

Somebody should buy regan a torch, it must be pretty dark up there, lets see whyte is ignoring a high court order to appear as a witness, does he think whyte would roll over and appear in front of his inquiry, consider the fact he has already told them to take a hike over a fine.

Anyone still think the corrupt SFA doesn't have an agenda against us ? Regan is liewell's puppet in the SFA & Dumbcaster is liewell's puppet in the SPL. They do as instructed. The whole set up in Scottish football is rotten to the core. Unless we're prepared to confront these people head on it will be this way for years to come. Let's get with Longmuir's SFL & set up a new league & invite applicants. A revolt is needed and now is the time

Strange things are going on, I have just noticed that a thread pointing out that very same sentiment has been removed from FF after running for around five pages, I fear we are our own worst enemies even while these rhatbags are intent on killing us.

they must have money to waste with all these investigations

I don't believe their is a conspiracy no. Whyte is banned and some decent evidence suggests he is sevco 5088. Given sevco 5088 had a contract to buy us and seems to still be part of rangers its no surprise they are looking at this.
