'Wholly unreliable' Rangers owner Craig Whyte loses roofing court case Craig Whyte said he had not agreed to pay the invoices Continue reading the main story Related Stories Gers Whyte may have lied to court Shares in Rangers are suspended Whyte denies unpaid castle bill Rangers owner Craig Whyte has been told to pay a disputed bill of £86,127 to a roofing firm after a sheriff described his evidence as "wholly unreliable". One Stop Roofing Supplies claimed Mr Whyte's company Tixway UK had breached an agreement to pay for goods bought by another company, *Snowcast UK. Mr Whyte, 40, disputed this and said he was a creditor of Snowcast. In a written ruling, Sheriff Nigel Ross stated: "I reject the evidence of Mr Whyte as wholly unreliable." The case centred on the business relationship between Mr Whyte, Chris Keating - who owned Snowcast UK before it folded - and One Stop Roofing Supplies, which is run by Robert Jenkins. During evidence in December, Mr Whyte told the court he was introduced to Mr Jenkins in April 2008 through friend and businessman Mr Keating. The court was told Mr Whyte helped Mr Keating's own business by lending money when it was required. It was said that Mr Keating regularly bought supplies from the roofing firm. Mr Whyte told the court the only orders made by him, and that he was invoiced for by One Stop Roofing, were for the repairs he was carrying out at Castle Grant in Granton on Spey. Castle Grant He said he did not agree for invoices for Mr Keating's business to be sent to him or paid by him. Continue reading the main story â?? Start Quote His (Craig Whyte) evidence is contradicted by virtually every other piece of evidenceâ? Sheriff Nigel Ross The court also heard that Mr Whyte became the director of Tixway after serving a seven-year disqualification from being a company director. Asked why he was banned, Mr Whyte said he could not remember as it was some time ago. He also said he did not want to say in open court and get it wrong. In his ruling on the case, Sheriff Ross stated: "I accept the evidence led by the pursuer (One Stop Roofing) as credible and reliable, and supported by the available documentation. "I reject the evidence of Mr Whyte as wholly unreliable. "It is not possible to ascertain whether he is not telling the truth or is simply unable to recollect the true position, and has convinced himself that this arrangement is something that he would not have entered into. "Either way, his evidence is contradicted by virtually every other piece of evidence." 'Legal liability' Sheriff Ross found that Mr Whyte's firm Tixway had "offered its own credit rating to allow cover for the supply of large volumes of materials to Snowcast". He said this was "subject to a high degree of control by the defender over Snowcast and an understanding between the defender (Tixway) and Snowcast that Snowcast would make payment for those materials". Sheriff Ross concluded: "As a matter of legal liability, however, the defender remains the principal obligant. "There is no dispute as to the sum outstanding, nor that it was properly incurred, and I accept the total brought out by the pursuer's figures." A hearing will be fixed for a later date for both parties to discuss expenses arising from the case. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-16984191

Perhaps the systems operated by Ticketus are not infallible.

I'd honestly be surprise if we don't suffer an "insolvency event" before the result of the FTT is known.

What took them so long?.....

No Whyte needs to show the provenance of the monies from where they left Ticketus to where they are now.

No he's telling the world in fifty feet high flashing neon letters that he's unfit for the purpose, kind of like Registrar Simmonds did in his judgement.

That would be for the courts to decide Alastair Johnston would have absolutely no input to that decision whatsoever.

No problem, I had window open to create the thread and never thought to check.

He wants to the Insolvency Service to confirm what Craig Whyte refuses to confirm and in the process prevent Whyte from raping, pillaging and then killing the club. The Insolvency Service have the power to get the court to appoint suitable persons to run the club. It may well be too late to avoid administration but not too late to avoid liquidation.

....and some!

Oh dear, try reading it again.

BBC beaten to the scoop!!

â?? I have had numerous approaches following the recent revelations in the press about the acquisition of Rangers Football Club and the use of future season ticket money. I am not in a position to answer all the questions put to me, but I do recognise the issue is causing much concern. I believe this is a prevalent view amongst Rangers stakeholders who are now demanding full transparency about the funding of the acquisition of the Club, its current financial status, and most importantly, the way forward. In order to allow all of the options potentially available to stabilize the Club be explored, there must be total disclosure of all the underlying obstacles that need to be surmounted in order to achieve this. Therefore, in my capacity as the Chairman of the Club during the period when it has been alleged that certain financial arrangements of concern were executed by the buyer, I have formally requested that the Intelligence & Enforcement Directorate investigate and clarify this matter once and for all which is surely in the interests of all concerned.â? Alastair J. Johnston Former Chairman, Rangers Football Club

I think the "technicality" shit has been well and truly put to bed now.

Or equally it could be that Craig Whyte was bricking it that there would be no money taken in during the window that in sheer desperation he employed Kenny Moyes to flog Jelavic to Davie Moyes

A rare bit of possible good news!!!

Somebody's telling lies, seems McCoist doesn't think it's Jelavic.

Part 2 ( Had to split due to length but needed to include the article der Berliner originally quoted) I posted this elsewhere, may as feel post it here Which one RFC Group ? doesn't that hold a floating charge over all RFC plc assets? Prove it by showing us the books, audited and signed off ones. So when we pay in full to renew our season tickets Rangers FC will receive 100% of that monies or does any of it go to Ticketus? In what way? in the way that you fully own Liberty Capital BVI which in turn owns RFC Group which in turn holds a floating charge over all RFC plc assets? Good for you, I'm impressed. By the way has any shareholder been to Ibrox and inspected your Director's Contract as is their right in law? Roll over would indicate that the facility would be used on an annual basis yet you said it was 3 years, are you intending to roll over 3 years season ticket monies every season. You would say that wouldn't you?..... Let me get this bit straight are you saying that Octopus does not hold a charge against RFC Group (or even Liberty Capital BVI) which ultimately holds the floating charge over RFC plc's assets which would effectively give Octopus a de fact charge over the assets of RFC plc? Oops nearly forgot have you once again engaged the services of Carter Ruck?, my guess is no. Not so easy when the ultimate "owner" is hidden behind the tax haven of the BVIs is it? but then that's the whole idea to hide things from fans and shareholders ain't it ? Hell mend those who did. Simple question are both RFC Group and RFC plc fully up to date with their VAT liabilities? How much of that £4m came from mortgaging our future catering income to Close Leasing? What was the actual (not the reported) transfer fees paid for A Bocanegra and B Goin. How much of the £1.5m have we actually paid and how much is still outstanding? Oh no it's not! We concur!.... Then why did you just employ Kenny Moyes to flog Jelavic to Everton when the player is adamant he would have stayed with Rangers if you hand wanted him to. Are you sure about that? The accounts need an AGM to pass them but an AGM doesn't need a set of accounts in order to be held does it? Anyway you can call a (E)GM at any time you wish can't you? in fact if 5% of the shareholders request one the law says you have to hold one doesn't it? You can easily get the accounts signed off if you really wished though couldn't you ? Getting them signed off to your personal satisfaction well that's a different thing altogether. It's not a chicken and egg it's a red f*&king herring isn't it? Yup they're not so easily to fool as yer average punter in the Enclosures (like moi!). Suppliers insurance companies aren't stupid shocker! Aye you need a decision from the FTT in order to start the Liquidation process, what would the fans think if we were to go bust before the FTT decision, who could they possibly blame then, surely not a world renowned venture capitalist with an unblemished track record of using his own funds to rescue and reinvigorate distressed companies, na don't think that either. Well technically it could be argued liquidation isn't administration is it?

Part 1 .

Alas that's a fear I share.....

Replacing The Rangers and 140 years of history and tradition with A Rangers for me constitutes the greatest danger that can befall us.

I'm sure Craig Whyte would approve of the photo they're using...
