Former Rangers director Paul Murray fears that the SFA may revoke the associate membership negotiated with Charles Green.
Following the liquidation of Rangers last summer Green apparently bought the assets from Duff & Phelps in order for a newco to start up in Scottish football.
After the Craig Whyte regime at Ibrox the SFA were determined to ensure that there would be no repeat with assurances sought from Green that Whyte wasn’t lurking in the background.
A secretive five way agreement was produced allowing Sevco to start life in the Third Division but Murray fears that the links between Green and Whyte could mean another summer of uncertainty at Ibrox.
“You have Charles Green who said he had no involvement with Craig Whyte and that was patently not correct,” Murray told The Scotsman. “The problem is that when you get found out on these things you then start to question other things.
“And one of the most important things in all of this is the SFA. The SFA sought very direct and specific assurances that Whyte was not involved and Charles Green gave them those assurances and I’m not sure that was actually correct.
“If Charles Green had a set of documents that proved that Whyte is lying then this thing would have been put to bed in two minutes, but it was then discovered that what Whyte was saying was broadly true. Then you start thinking, ‘Hang on, if that’s true then what else is true?’ I’m not saying he does, but say Whyte owns the assets but on the other side he’s just lost a multi-million pound claim to Ticketus. “Are we saying that Ticketus would then own the assets by default?
“And if they own the assets they’ll want to be paid in order to give the assets back to Rangers, but how will the club do that bearing in mind that it had an IPO [Initial Public Offering of shares] that is potentially not valid? It’s a legal mess and it all needs to come out in the open, even if it’s bad news.”
Paul Murray was a Rangers director under Dave Murray and is unrelated to the former Ibrox chief or current chairman Malcolm Murray.
It sounds like Paul Murray has just had a flash of clarity, or maybe a DOH! moment- and I don’t think he enjoyed it very much.
The whole lot of them dishonest to the core!
My god at last the pennys(or lack of them) has finaly dropped with sombody down govan, to late tho zombies, they’ll be dead again by Christmas, YE HA!! hail hail, GOD BLESS THE CELTIC.
Lets not hold our breath waiting on the SFA revoking the Sevco licence, the SFA with Ogilvie still on-board are tainted and of absolutely of no use, other then to the new zombie club.
The easiest way to keep the licence old Murray boy is prove craigy whyte has/had nothing to do with Newco sevco international huns or what ever there called this week it must be easy to prove you would imaging ? if you can’t the SFA might not be to bothered anyway can’t have Scottish football coming to a end again can we …… HH
C´mon guys this is Scotland.FFs even if CW is involved up to his neck does anyone really think the SFA are going to revoke their license ?
2 chances-f all & Rockall.
Like his eminence LNS said guilty as charged of defrauding 47 million but no advantage.Ha Ha Ha.
It could only happen in Scotland.
Agree with you 100% m8.
Sfa will do everything that they possibly can to keep the sevco international going.
Sooner Celtic get out of Scotland, the better. But I can’t see that happening.
Will the sfa doing a thing ie there rules. Will the fuck. Let of Scot free again. Joke
We all know rangers won’t die. SFa won’t let it happen. For the good of the scottish game n all that jazz. I’m a celtic fan and yes I hate everything rangers stand for but you know what makes things more interesting? Playing them on the pitch n destroying them while baming up all the h%#s. Don’t know bout the rest of the celtic fanbase but I miss some rivalry in the spl.
Interesting first comment, don’t worry you’ll get over their loss.
They had to pull a few stunts to live with Celtic, with Masterton now history and Sir Dave walking away it will never be the same again.
Get used to it.
This is the end game folks.
Gonna sit back open a bottle o red,light a big cigar and watch it come crashing down.
Keith.
Green’s playing games of smoke and mirrors and cannot be trusted whatsoever,I mean this ‘so called’ deal to sell his shares,those shares are worthless because Craig Whyte owns the assets,”hes Sevco” thats what Green told Whyte,hes also admitted openly that hes tried to swindle Whyte,Both of them are still at it,and this whole escapade is been driven to make shareholders nervous enough to make this pair an offer,Green will be the one who’ll “make the problem go away” but at the end of the day he’ll(they’ll)make faster and more money this way than “waiting to hear CL music”..The old quote about if its too good to be true then it probably is, is something those gullible huns hordes need to wise up too.
The Sevconians will survive Ogilvie will make sure of that…..and our mob will sit by and let it happen.They are now, and always have been,shit scared to take on the Scottish Media.
the big hooose must shut!!
