I tried to explain what's going on in Scottish football to some of the non Scottish sub contractors on site this week. About Murray, Green and Whyte, about how clubs are fighting like cats in a sack over reconstruction, about the 11-1 voting system, about the diddy revolt in the summer, about the DAB boycott, about fairer distribution of money, about the agendas of Doncaster, Regan and Longmuir, about the questions around Masterton/HBOS, about what's happening at Tynecastle, about the failure of the MSM to ask questions..................it just went on and on. In the end, even I couldn't keep up with what I was saying. f**k knows what they were thinking as they watched me get more and more animated and pissed off. There just doesn't seem to be any end game in sight.

And you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I think you don't want to see the point I'm making. If Green sold assets, via a flotation, that he didn't entirely own then surely those assets would have to be returned to their "rightful" owner. that in turn, would certainly affect the club. Of course, everything is speculation, but if there had been honesty from any side in this dispute then there should have been clarity by now. Why is it so hard to get the truth of it all?

And the administrators appointed by Whyte then sold the assets to Whyte's preferred choice. And the real question is not which company the assets were sold to anyway, but what agreement Whyte and Green had and if it was documented. I think that Whyte could have been dismissed out of hand had money not changed hands; but it did, and not in any conventional way either.

I would say that it could come down to more than just Green v Whyte. If Whyte can prove he had a claim on the assets via a deal with Green, then Green sold on assets he didn't wholly own via the share issue, then surely it has implications for the shareholders. But, as you have said, it shouldn't take to much digging to find out the truth of the whole thing. The only reason I can think of for the lack of clarity so far, is that everyone involved has something to hide.

But how much collateral damage will he leave behind? The fact that he ignored every legal precedent with regard to transferring players to a new club, the fact that he made a total arse of the alleged "boycott", the fact that he lied about his involvement with Whitey and is actually boasting about ripping him off, the fact that he thinks it's acceptable for the CEO of a large company in the spotlight to refer to people as "pakis" or "darkies", well TBH, it's all sort of pointing towards the fact that he's not very bright. And if he's not very bright, the real question that could turn Rangers over is "How well has he legally covered his arse in his dealings with Whyte?" Is he stupid enough to have left a door open for Whyte to have a legal claim on Newco's assets? On the face of it, it appears possible.

Had a look over at Rangers Media to see the reaction to Green's latest outburst. As expected, anyone over on those forums is still being attacked if they dare to question old Charlie boy. I did have a giggle at this post however: I would assume there are a few displeased institutional shareholders on the phone to Ibrox this morning telling Green to shut up and stay away from the media. God knows what the non-execs at Rangers actually do; they really need to get a grip on Green.

Post of the year IMO, and probably a truer reflection of how most Rangers fans feel than some of the sycophantic shit being posted on the more extreme websites. However, I would disagree with the statement that you "all know" you are being taken for a ride. As We Fail Again is a prime example of blind stupidity, gloating on various threads about other clubs which are in trouble, whilst not looking out the window and noticing Charles Green is driving the train off a cliff.

Can't recall any of us diddies claiming Craig Whyte is to be trusted. I think most of us are pointing out that putting any trust in Charles Green is dubious. He's clearly been "economical" with the truth, has previous at Sheffield United, has a string of closed companies behind him and has taken money from Craig Whyte. I simply cannot understand why he is getting such an easy time of it from Rangers supporters, especially after what he did to another club. He's already claimed he's only in it for the money which in my mind is not too different to Craig Whyte's attitude to your club. After everything that's happened to Rangers in the last couple of years it seems incredible that a single supporter could fall for another Messiah routine. There's something rotten at the core of Ibrox and the supporters should be demanding answers. And not from Craig Whyte, but from the Messiah himself, Charles Green.

I think you should be concerned about Whyte. Whatever is going on, it looks like Whyte and Green were in this together. Whyte is an asset stripping, untrustworthy con man, but then again, that's what Sheffield United supporters thought about Green. It's now gone from Green saying he wasn't in bed with Whyte, to now saying he was in bed with him but it was a one night stand and he didn't really love him and the money was only resting in his account. It's a train smash whichever way you look at it. If Whyte really was part of Sevco 5088 and Green did con him by transferring the company assets to another company, then it's a legal minefield causing more uncertainty at Ibrox. Every statement by Green seems to be raising more questions than it's answering. What makes me think there may be some substance to Whyte's claims is the way Green has come out fighting and raging instead of just laughing the whole thing off. The whole thing stinks, and I'm surprised that Rangers supporters aren't banging on the doors of Ibrox demanding answers, especially with everything they have had to put up with in the last couple of years.

A community club that's been in existence for over a hundred years. This is truly shit for the Pars fans. All I can say is best of luck. I truly hope you can be saved.
