Im gonna go out on a limb here, but I believed most of what he said in that interview...

I doubt he needs to. Chuckles has already parted with the cash I think.

The one thing I did agree with Whyte was that Scottish Football, courtesy of this saga and SFA/SPL/SFL ineptitude, is most definitely the laughing stock of world football. If they keep Avril in a job then we may as well give up.

Son of the Rock,
I think you are on the wrong lines with that.
You think D&P sold artificially cheap. Yet they have a duty to get the best return for the creditors. It was in the public domain that Green was paying about £5m, anyone that was willing to pay more only had to put in a bid.
For D&P to expose themselves and be open for a multi million lawsuit would be daft for the return they got.

And that, as you know Mitre, is something that BDO will thoroughly investigate.
Lets not forget, higher bids did come in but at the very moment that the CVA was rejected the deal with Green was announced as done. I think most creditors would rather have seen a higher return to be fair.

If Green was buying the club that cheap someone else would have come in and outbid him after the CVA rejection. Or if such bids were excluded or rejected we'd have heard a lot about it from the potential bidders concerned.

What, you mean like Walter Smiths consortium?
I seem to remember they did complain. In fact, I seem to remember a campaign by the Rangers support to force Chuckles to sell.
Was it really that long ago that no one remembers?

Look, the club was sold to Green who was the only one who had the readies, ready.
All the others had conditions left, right & centre, and nett lower amounts.
As to the OP - believe him all you will.
But for me, when he said I did not lie, I just didn't tell the truth - that was it.
He makes Walter Mitty look amateur. He is, allegedly, a liar, a thief and a shyster.
Hopefully, his alleged criminal acts catch up with him very shortly.

In my opinion, which admittedly is not that of the law, hes not gonna swing for it, hell be in the clear. Dont forget, this is a man with huuuge experience in wrecking companies. He'll be in the clear one way or another.
Dont forget, Im not defending the man. I think hes a abasolute shyster but these type of bampots usually operate just inside the realms of the law.

That's my guess as well, that Whyte won't go to jail or anything like that. Maybe another disqualification as a director? Just a guess though.

He's trying to paint D&P in a bad light and though there may be an element of truth in it, HE was the cant that forced them through the door before HMRC appointed someone...
HE brought them to Rangers.
The mans a prized cant, pure and simple.
He cant shirt the blame onto anyone and everyone else like he's tried to do all along
