Green appointed Whyte as Sevco 5088 director

Hours after Sevco Scotland announced that Charles Green would be grilled at a board meeting tomorrow another bombshell has landed in the lap of the man from Yorkshire with big ‘ands.

According to a report from STV Green was the signatory for Craig Whyte’s election as a director of Sevco 5088- alongwith his close business associate Aiden Earley.

Green has been on the defensive over the last week ever since the former Motherwell-born billionaire started leaking details of the close relationship between Green and Whyte.

Having originally claimed that he bought out Whyte’s shareholding for £2 Green has been forced to respond to claims that he illegally transferred assets from Sevco 5088 to Sevco Scotland as well as a trail of financial transactions which bizarrely included payments made to the mother of Ibrox moneyman Imran Ahmed.

According to the STV report: “The directorial appointment forms, which have been filed several months late, show the signatures of the former Sheffield United chief executive, alongside those of Mr Whyte and Mr Earley. It is believed the forms were signed during a meeting in London on May 9, 2012, three days before Duff and Phelps signed an offer letter with Sevco 5088 in a £5.5m deal for the club’s assets.

“According to records at Companies House, Sevco 5088 was created as an off-the-shelf company by a Cardiff-based secretarial firm on March 29, over a month after Rangers were put into administration on February 14.

“The appointment forms for the company, which is registered to the address of London legal firm Field Fisher Waterhouse, were lodged with Companies House on Friday.

Companies House confirmed the documents had been accepted but had not yet been scanned in to be made available on its website.”

Further evidence of the links between Green and Whyte should concern the SFA who granted Sevco Scotland associate membership on the understanding that Whyte had no involvement in the new club.

Green has already admitted to telling Whyte what he wanted to know- if he treated SFA membership in the same manner Stewart Regan may have no other option than to suspend Sevco.

Earlier today Green had claimed that he was being subject to blackmail from his former business partner Whyte but the former billionaire quickly shot down that theiry.

Whyte told BBC Scotland: “Mr Green has publicly admitted defrauding me on the Sevco deal. I am seeking to put that right by taking legal action.

“This must be the first alleged blackmail in history where the person making the allegation has actually received money rather than the accused.

“Following through their bizarre logic, anyone who takes legal action against them is a blackmailer.”
