    How is it that Dave King claimed to have raised the £5m in an hour before the AGM, yet now it transpires that the company has taken out another loan to repay the SD loan?
    Because he talks through his ********?

    It's just possible he could be glibly and shamelessly lying?

    Is it this Barry Scott who has lent Rangers the money?

    You're ahead of JJ on this one :)

    However, he has also just tweeted that an Andy Ross in HK also has acquaintance with the judicial system there :)

    These guys are supporters of Workington Town. Clearly Rangers are their wee team.

    He was miles ahead - JJ didn't have it until I gave him it which I copied from Ozhibby's post. I always enjoy putting the cat among the pigeons......

    Hmmm! Fits with info I received from another HK based supporter of that fine institution at a prominent race meeting a month or so ago. I should say this person is totally sound, straight as a dye & I believe he & other friends have been continually knocked back in their attempts to invest in Sevco. Perhaps their insistence on due diligence pre investment was a roadblock! The indirect comment was they couldn't understand why upstanding, wealthy supporters were continually rejected while hooks & crooks appeared to be pursued for investment. I should say neither of these 2 guys were mentioned by name.

    It's almost farcical that we can dig this stuff up so quickly, while the professional journalists prevaricate about whether to publish it.

    They don't prevaricate, they just don't print it as they are scared to upset the new club.

    Ross got fined $ 20,000 and banned from working as an accountant on any USA connected business for 3 years . After that he could apply to be re-instated.

    It did'nt cost him his job. He's still there page 18. Baker Tilly contact in Hong Kong - Andrew Ross.

    And they don't want to face the vicious reaction from their fans either, minority obviously.

    He certainly seems to have the credentials of all the recent "white knight" types but he hasn't really stolen enough money or got serious enough offences on his record to make the grade here.

    There was a Barry Scott guy who used to appear in the cillit bang adverts but he's dead so its unlikely to be him.
    The Barry Scott in the ads was an actor, and it appears he's only dead for the purpose of satire:
    http://www.oxygen.ie/cillit-bangs-ba...tt-found-dead/
    http://www.oxygen.ie/an-open-letter-to-barry-scott/

    Barry Scott's involvement would certainly make any "whispers in the board room" easier to hear!

    If this is Andy Ross he's just the right guy to support the GASL - fined for failure to detect fraud. You couldnie make it up

    Is there anyone involved in bank rolling them who either hasn't already been convicted of offences or doesn't have some charges hanging over them? The GFA fit and proper person police must be working flat out checking all this out to ensure Scottish Football isn't risking further damage to its reputation.

    Suppose it makes sense to have someone on board who has managed to stay clear of the law.

    Maybe that's why he resigned from the Board. Didn't like associating with these type of chaps.

    They probably told him to go away and come back when he has got a few fraud or tax evasion convictions under his belt.

    He did have VAT evasion charges against him, although they were dropped.

    Looking at these pair of chancers, they don't strike me as the type to just provide soft loans with no chance of a return. They will surely be expecting a return on their cash.

    Maybe they are going to merge the rangers with Workington and get them into their beloved England that way?

    The press release did say that the loans were on the same basis as "recent "loans. That may mean that security has been given.

    Interesting, am guessing that as Workington have been around the longest and seem to have won the most honours the merger will be one where the new boys are absorbed into their more successful partners identity? they play in red and an orange coloured away strip so maybe the Workington rangers is a decent compromise for both sides?

    It should be pretty easy to get to Workington by ferry from Northern Ireland so it's maybe not as daft an idea as it sounds.
