vanderark14 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Regan lying or was he duped? Regan: we issued the euro licence to oldco Huns correctly as the small tax debt hadn't crystallised at that point (31st March 2011). McGill, in an email to Murray Group 17th March 2011 referring to Whyte's proposed bid (the background being that it has been established that if Whyte's bid wasn't accepted Lloyds were about to pull the plug a la Celtic 94). Quote may not be exact but near enough. "...We don't want the purchaser (Whyte) getting any last minute surprises and withdrawing. I think we should come clean on the small tax bill given that it crystallised some time ago..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a waste of a XXL shirt. He's a prat too. very reminiscent of the stereotypical Ayrshire Hun fan. XXL? Think you're being nice to old Boydy there. He hasn't been an XXL since 2010!?

I agree they were both as bad as the other but not convinced that Whyte is innocnent, he used money that wasn't his to buy the club and instructed his lawyers to hide this fact. On Murray's side surely you see the money is available before you sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF does that even mean? Absolute nonsense. Yeah the key thing was the outsanding bank debt at that point. Part of the deal was Whyte had to pay that back, which he did but using money borrowed against 3 seasons worth of ticket sales (always found it strange that ticketus would lend the money when the the borrower didn't have control of items the loan was secured against, but hey they got their money back from Whyte's lawyers so I guess they really aren't too bothered). Really there was nothing stopping anyone from doing that. The ultimate fault here lies with Murray, he sold to the first person that came along with a *credible looking* bid and was in too much of a hurry to get out the door to really care what happened in the end.

Dont think anything will happen now in terms of Whyte- unless the crown choose to appeal, for procedural reasons (the only way they can I think?) The civil cases (eg Colliers Bristo) all settled, which was where the money came for the oldco creditors pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can somebody in short tell me what happened Without really following it, under company law you can have both civil (eg if you screw somebody over they sue you) and criminal liabilities as a director (if you screw somebody over, you go to jail). The Crown though Whyte had breached his obligations under the Companies Acts during the takeover, as a director, on two counts. The Jury though differently - in a very short space of time. Someone will have followed it more closely that I have. Its dry stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
