RANGERRAB 3,254 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 18M pounds sterling and what might have been coming down the road can't be considered "small beer". The Murray Group numbers were much greater but didn't seem to have such 'opportunities' and hence, you can't compare them in the way you seem to be doing,... apples and carrots. However, by hook or by crook, an opportunity was found at Ibrox and the bank would seem to have benifitted more than most from it's realisation. 'Follow the Money'................ opportunity ? LOL Was it not if SDM didnt sell to Whyte all bank credit was to be withdrawn from MIM? opportinity? LOL Blackmail? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 opportunity ? LOLWas it not if SDM didnt sell to Whyte all bank credit was to be withdrawn from MIM? opportinity? LOL Blackmail? Opportunity, as in 'opportunist mechanism'. It's obviously not in Lloyds interests to let the Murray group go down. The 'threat' effectively applied to Rangers although it was made in the knowledge that it extremely unlikely that the IBC would be able to further resist. Asking you same question..... Why do you think LBG were so keen for CW to get Rangers ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think LBG were so keen for CW to get Rangers ? CW getting Rangers greatly benefited one club in Scotland.What happened next was inevitable.It would financially cripple Rangers for years to come. It also allowed 'them' relatively easy access to CL money for years to come via easier qualifiers due to Reid's cosy relationship with Platini. They could dominate Scottish football for the foreseeable future. My turn for question now: Who ran LBG's Scottish business division at that time? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a minute So are you saying that this was all a 'cunning plan' devised by a 'cabal', from Reid to Fullerton (Celtic-Minded) to take out or seriously 'wound' their arch-enemy on their quest for World (or SPL) Domination ? Tell me you don't believe anything along those lines, please Rab 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quattro 0 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Good to see that many are questioning this so called article, a mish mash from times gone by, the quotes are lifted from the King article of two years ago. A press beside itself with the knowledge that they were complicit in facilitating the agendas of the clubs enemies, they see the inevitability of their role being exposed, their futile attempts to further delay the just outcome of all the club has been subjected to is coming home to roost with our denigrators, all of them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the avoidance of doubt, can you please list the "clubs enemies" as per your view or opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
