Bluedell 5,679 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 That's another aspect of all these businesses coming into the game. They can lie and cheat their way to your money, then use 'confidentiality' as an excuse for not complying with the same types of laws we all have to. Murky, it's about as clear as mud, which is clearly filthy. What laws have the lawyers not complied with? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 What was strange was comments along the lines that when they were looking into the takeover, they had asked some questions of Whyte's team and were just ignored. Was that publicised at the time? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 0 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Would there be a difference between "Rangers lawyers" and Whytes" lawyers? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Would there be a difference between "Rangers lawyers" and Whytes" lawyers? There would be , certainly. At the end of the day, it would depend on who was picking up their tab, and if they had any official capacity on the Club. I wouldn't think it would be CW himself, but it may have been one of his other companies, but there again it could have been RFC. A debatable point however is that if CW assumed total control of Rangers following negligence on the part of the SFA, then those lawyers were arguably appointed in thw ake of that negligence. Perhaps a decent QC could have a field day. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,114 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Has Whyte been arrested or charged with anything. Perhaps he will be, there's a lot more to come out yet about this sorry saga. His advisor's seem to be prepared to keep their own arses clean by denying any involvement in his dealings http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2012/02/19/rangers-crisis-whyte-%E2%80%98ignored-settlement-advice%E2%80%99-chances-of-regaining-control-recede-190201/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Has Whyte been arrested or charged with anything. I haven't seen anything to suggest that. I've seen press reports of the SFA investigation, the Strathclyde Police investigation, and I've read rumours of a City of London Police investigation into either him or some of his companies - may be Pritchards. There is also the FSA action against Pritchards. Apart from these, I'm not aware that CW has anything else on his agenda. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had the opinion that when we we see blatant arse-covering it's a question of no smoke without fire. I might be way off the mark, but I think there is a house of card scenario here, and we are seeing a LOT of worried people hoping that they don't get dragged in to this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm led to believe that Merchant House Group are presently engaging in some major arse cleaning too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OWLBINMAN Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 If the takeover is proved to be illegal in some way, can the club just be taken from CW and sold by the administrators? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
