der Berliner 3,744 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Here we go ... WALTER SMITH and Sir David Murray head a list of star witnesses who have received letters from the Procurator Fiscal ahead of the Rangers fraud case against Craig Whyte, Gary Withey and the Duff and Phelps three. Record Sport understands ex-manager Smith and former owner Murray are among a number of household names to have been contacted by the Crown Office over the last 48 hours as lawyers prepare cases against the men accused of fraudulent activity following a probe into Whyte’s Ibrox buyout in 2011. Former directors Alastair Johnston and Paul Murray – both axed from the board after opposing Whyte’s takeover – are also expected to take to the stand after providing police with written statements. Murray has already been notified of his likely involvement while USA-based Johnston awaits confirmation he’ll be needed in Glasgow. Martin Bain, axed by Whyte as CEO, could also be part of the prosecution’s line-up. Bain has spoken to the cops and anticipates a letter asking him to return from his current post with Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv to give evidence. London businessman Andrew Ellis, who introduced Whyte to Sir David Murray as a potential buyer, is expected to give evidence when the trial begins sometime next year. Disgraced Whyte, lawyer Withey and accountants David Grier, David Whitehouse and Paul Clark face a host of charges relating to the ill-fated deal. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Whyte. It’s understood he is still out of the country. DR 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter had the right personnel to do the job on the park. Ally did not comprehend that unless you've got the personnel, you can't keep the same tactics. As in: more like the pupil not developing. BTW, Dick Advocaat is available again ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's right, Ally hasn't had the right personnel. That explains it. Dick Advocaat? Funny. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 unfortunately, the £40m he needs to buy a team isn't. Depends. He's been a national coach all over the place too, so he knows how to deal with no money involved. Anyway, that was just tongue in cheek. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 unfortunately, the £40m he needs to buy a team isn't. Was it not £92m he spent? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Was it not £92m he spent? It was something like £84m, but player sales during his transfer dealings brought in about £42m, so his NET spend was about £42m. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
