There's no "Celtic persuasion" conspiracy. If only that was all Were they they people who decided to prosecute ?

Correct, the now DCI Robertson was basically a plod with absolutely no background in financial crime, certainly not qualified to lead an investigation like this. There's a story that when he and his assistant pulled Charles Green in for an interview, they sat in the wrong seats, so the first part of the interview is them being filmed asking questions while Chuck is off screen giving answers.

It is still in the process of liquidation. There are only £3.9m of free funds left, despite them having accrued £29.9m from various sources. BDO has spent around £19m, in various legal costs and their own fees. They are, however, looking to sue Duff and Phelps for £29m for making a mess of the administration and not getting enough for the assets. I think it is highly likely that they will fail in that action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is highly likely that they will fail in that action. It's staggering to think that 8 years have passed, the liquidation still hasn't completed and most of the funds that were accrued by BDO have either been pissed against the wall or syphoned off by BDO instead of going to creditors. I suppose BDO will drag this on for as long as they can while there are still funds in the pot to pay their fees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Footballfirst Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Club 1872 has made its first payment to Dave King for his shares, £250,000 in return for 1,250,000 shares. (Just the £12,750,000 to go) However, both parties have agreed that any funds raised by Club 1872 in the first half of 2021 can go straight to the club to help fill their funding gap.

Footballfirst Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 That may well be the argument about how much Sevco will have to pay SDI. They made provision for a bill of £3m in their recent accounts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Today's discussions are largely about disclosure of documents related to the terms of the various agreements and the actual performance (monies in/out/profits) of the Elite contract and Rangers Retail management accounts, basically to help quantify/justify/repudiate SDI's claim. Both sides are seeking disclosure of different elements. Edited January 13 by Footballfirst Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cruickie's Moustache Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If SDI are successful I wonder how the 'real T'Rangers men' now being asked to 'invest in the club' will feel about having to stump up their hard earned cash to pay off a billionaire due to the questionable actions of a rich but glib and shameless liar, who will at some point be seeking some of his loans paid back?

You would think that would lead to resignations and disciplinary action in the Crown Office and amongst those in Police Scotland who were so involved in this.

The whole legal shenanigans needs to be investigated really to see if there was any criminality in the manner in which all of this was done. It won’t happen of course because the trail would inevitably lead to the higher reaches of the Crown Office. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
