Ergatrude 0 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Not if Whyte wrongfully suspended them from the club forcing their eventual resignations! If they wanted what was best for the club, like they said they did, then they would have just taken it on the chin instead of freezing funds/assets during our worst financial period in our history. I'm not disagreeing with you about how shitty they were treated, I just disagree with how they dealt with the aftermath. They could have sued CW for defamation of character or slander since he said publicly that they were basically dodgy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Then they should have sued CW, not the club. They would be sueing him for defamation; they would be sueing the Club for constructive dismissal. I would suspect that the Administrators will settle with Bain pretty quickly now (although they might prefer him as an unsecured creditor). He has £400k of the £1.3M for Boughera frozen as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same as you when they first took legal action, but now I think very differently. These guys were removed by Whyte because they didn't trust him or want him taking over the club. He then as the new owner sullied their characters as professionals without providing any evidence and for what it's worth... right now is the worst financial period in our history nine to ten months after Martin Bain & co said Whyte shouldn't be taking over the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we got £1.7m for Bougherra? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Whyte took actions against them he did it on behalf of the club though mate, it was the club suspending them. It's sad that we've had Whyte representing Rangers, but we can't deny it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergatrude 0 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't think we'll agree here Zappa mate. I can see where you are coming from and in any other circumstances I'd be on your page, 100%. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see where you are coming from and in any other circumstances I'd be on your page, 100%. I'm cool with agreeing to disagree mate because none of us are here to persuade anyone of anything, just to talk about Rangers and related issues. To carry on the conversation in a general sense... If we focus purely on Martin Bain, do you think he took legal action just for money? I'm trying to put myself in his shoes and I honestly don't think he would have done it for money even although it perhaps looked that way initially. To me it seems just as (if not more) likely that Bain took action as a first step towards exposing Craig Whyte for what he is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I thought we got £1.7m for Bougherra? Not according to my source but if it was £1.7M that might include the infamous VAT which would take it down to £1.416M so not a million miles apart. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Then they should have sued CW, not the club. Not sure Bain will continue his case if CW is out of the picture. I may be wrong, but don't think so. Would hope, however, that he doesn't have intentions of moving his sun bed back to Ibrox. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
