Think you're probably right but Murray IMO has repeatedly lied, both before and during the case. His reputation has been shot down but not as much as I would like to have seen

Still think not proven is likely verdict and quite quickly unless the jury want to spin it out.
This is closely linked to:
Defence position s that Murray would have sold even if they knew about Ticketus, hence no "practical result" of pretence
That's the key question for the jury: Murray has stated on oath that he would not have sold had he know about Ticketus but Findlay clearly considers that the jury have heard sufficent evidence to expose that for the pile of bullsheet is palpably is.
Jury back in, verdict due imminently.....
Not guilty on all charges
It's a majority verdict, don't know what the split was
Many backsides being kicked in Crown Office.Started with a full house of people to be charged.Ended up with one in the dock,an unprovable case badly presented with witnesses happily perjuring themselves and not saying what the Crown expected.
Excellent result.
Whyter than Whyte.
Whyte now not going to make any comment outside court after all. Doleman tweeting that he'll be posting more on what went on in court that couldn't be reported until the case was over.
So, does Whyte get the old rangers assets back ? Or does he just own sDM,s ass ? Can he sue him ?
BREAKING NEWS: David Murray surrenders his knighthood to Donald Findlay.
A fix. SNP organised the whole thing. Brendan O'Flaherty was the jury foreman. The club was doing fine financially until Whyte took over.
You don't believe those things? Get on to the Huns' fans' forums and they'll put you right. The stupidity is remarkable even by their standards.
One of the bits of evidence I found interesting was that Lloyds Bank rejected futher loans because the business case supporting the request depended on qualification for the Champions League group for the next three seasons. It would be interesting to observe a parallel universe in which Rangers beat Malmo in 2011 and went on to the group stage. We might find how Whyte planned to profit from the deal.
Not Guilty on both charges.
Bit late with that info :greengrin
In respect of parallel universes, would also have been interesting to see what would have happened had Lloyds not taken over Bank of Scotland. BoS had been exceptionally lenient / generous in their support of Scottish clubs and I think Lloyds was aghast at what they took over and were immediately looking to significantly reduce their exposure.
