He's not untouchable any more that's for sure. Good.

A lot of Twitter chat from usually reliable sources that Craig Whyte is about to step into the spotlight again.

Sorry don't have link but details in Alex Thomsons blog on Ch4 website. Summary is Craig Whytes court case regarding his ownership claim to The Rangers could go his way, he may still own them. That would be interesting.

That's some story.

It remains to be seen whether it has any substance, or if it's a Mitty-type scenario. I have to say that nothing would surprise me; Green and Whyte deserve each other, IMO.

Nice one

I think " abhorrent " would have been a more apt word to describe that 'football club'. Maybe they made a typo....

Agree they deserve each other, and the The Rangers deserve them both.

“But it begs the question, why was the idea of player wage cuts floated in the first place if the board can afford to turn down almost £1m? indeed

I would hope not , its a bit of double edged sword,you dont want the currant buns to get away with it,but i certainly dont want the yams to get anything that would allow them to remain on there life support machine any longer than is needed.

There's nothing factual in there to get excited about.

He could be just desperate to pay off the bill to Ticketus and wants to scare The Rangers with the threat of leagal action into making a financial settlement with him., or he could just be an attention seeking twat. Nobody has presented any evidence to support his claims.

Mr Whyte appears to be getting under their skin.......

For the avoidance of doubt.
only external finance will save Sevco from an insolvency event this month.
It is available, but it is expensive

Interesting.

I can only assume that he has detailed insider knowledge. From what I can see in the public domain, I wouldn't have expected it so soon.

Lovely thought to brighten a crappy day though.

Cheers, Spike. Seems Craigy boy has timed his run well.

"A fatal pathogen" eh? Not a phrase I've heard before, but it could become legendary.

However, for the less-than-literary hordes in Govan, he puts it a better way in his last sentence. "Sevco are ****ed".

Joy. Hopefully this time they won't rise from the grave again.

According to some religions the second death is the one that burns for eternity.

Itching to open that bottle of Talisker.

Wouldn't insolvency this month mean that the club had totally run out of cash? In these circumstances could an administrator do anything more than shut down the football club and padlock the gates?

Probably, although they could do a deal with the SPFL to get their prize money early (a la Gretna) and try to do a quick CVA or pre-pack.

Nae doubt they'd go out their way tae help that trash, which would be ridiculous since they've only themselves tae blame for getting in tae it again. When these Newcos get in tae the league there should be rules tae force them tae live within their means. Everybody including the SFL/SPL/SPFL/SFA already knew this lot were spending mair money than they had tae cheat their way back up tae the top again yet it was allowed tae happen again.

Actually, given the amount of money they have spent, it would be funny if they had paid ALL their bills on time and owed nobody anything. It's just that they have nae dosh left.
