Beast Boy Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Remains the only owner of an Edinburgh top flight football club to have been jailed for fraud. Something I found interesting was that in 1982 he became a partner in a law firm called Lawrence and Phelps. Duff and Phelps? 🤔 Does anyone know the history of the Duff and Phelps who were appointed as administrators of Rangers Oldco? I can’t believe that he was the Duff in their name. Just a coincidence, surely? https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12725589.hibs-former-chief-jailed-for-two-years-for-fraud/ Goes on to talk about his dealings with David Murray too. personally I’d love him to be connected with Hibs again.

I supposed it had to be. Just a rather amusing coincidence then, what with the two Duff and Phelps characters’ behaviour during the Rangers administration process.

Ricardo Shillyshally Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Duff was just a puppet. What I want to know more about is David Rowland. IIRC this all came about due to him, yet Wallace gets tarred as the bogey man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasavallan Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Duff was in my year at Trinity but I had no dealings with him time as he was a Hibby. Last I heard he was staying on HMP for swindling old ladies in Swindon. Still lauded by the vermin for not selling out to the Wallet. It would appear that he liked Hibs over a fast buck.
