Scumbag Whyte agrees to sell film rights to Rangers collapse

[djbroxybear 660]

Former Rangers owner Craig Whyte has agreed to sell the book and film rights to his story of his takeover and the financial collapse of the club.

In an announcement to the stock exchange on Wednesday, Worthington Group plc announced that it had acquired a 26% stake in Law Financial Limited, one of Mr Whyte’s companies.

The group said the assets of the firm include the legal action Mr Whyte launched against current Rangers chief executive Charles Green, who he has accused of acting as a "front" for him last summer.

In the stock exchange announcement, Worthington Group said: "It has also been agreed that, pursuant to the agreement certain other related rights, assets and causes of action will be transferred to the Law Financial Group or directly to Worthington.

"Those assets include the book, film and television rights to the two takeovers of The Rangers Football Club in 2011 and 2012 as it relates to Craig Whyte. It is intended that these rights will be commercialised in due course."

Mr Whyte purchased an 85% stake in Rangers from Sir David Murray for £1 in May 2011. The club was placed into administration last February with debts of up to £124m, including £18m of unpaid tax following Mr Whyte’s takeover.

Mr Green’s consortium purchased the assets of the club through the newco Sevco Scotland Limited in a £5.5m deal last June. Mr Whyte is contesting this, claiming the deal was struck by administrators Duff and Phelps with another firm, Sevco 5088, which he claims to be behind.

Rangers have announced they are preparing a file to submit to Police Scotland on Mr Whyte and his associate Aidan Earley's conduct.

Worthington, which purchased the stake in Law Financial Ltd for £250,000 in convertible loan notes, said the company "has a number of subsidiaries, namely Sevco 5088 Ltd, Law Capital Ltd, Litigation Capital Ltd and Media Litigation Ltd."

It has the option of buying out Mr Whyte’s stake in the firm until October 31 this year.

Douglas Ware, chief executive officer of the Worthington Group, added: "We believe that the transaction contemplated by this announcement gives the company a major opportunity to increase shareholder value and thus to strengthen the company's balance sheet, enabling the company to look at additional opportunities as they arise."

Exactly. His story will be a big pile of fucking gibberish.

[paisleyroad 894]

How many Selik fans are there? they'll buy anything with the 'Rangers' name attached to it, could be a wee money spinner

*EDIT how many Selik fans are there with money/a job? this could actually be a dead duck

If this is true I doubt very much if any true blue would buy the book or watch the film, surely none of us would put a penny in his pocket ?

[Getstiffed 8,863]

Tbf if murderers can get away with selling film and book rights, therefore profiting from their crimes, it will be no surprise that he can/will as well.

[Blue Forever 179]

What an insane bastard.

[Sweetheart 8,458]

Exactly. His story will be a big pile of fucking gibberish.

yep, I expect RTV to do a series of documentaries like 'The Rising', there's no reason these can't be adapted into a book or film

Aye you're not wrong there. The guy is aff his heed to be honest.

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

Oh yeah, what's it going to be called?

How to be a complete cunt, then deny responsibility.

[daviecooper01 826]

These proceeds may be worthless, as they would in due course, most likely come under "proceeds of crimes" - ie not happening.

[Blue corn flakes 1,282]

Film title

How I robbed Rangers of millions.

[wearethepeople1 3,897]

Surely this wee cunt is on borrowed time

[JM1872 3,708]

What a laugh .

A man who has been branded a liar by courts, is due to face trial on accounts of fraud and possible jail time along with other labels is going to make a movie to tell his lies :lol:

I would say nobody would believe it, nobody would believe his "story" then I thought na, the pictures will be full every showing. The tims need something new to spend their Giro on after all and what better way to spend it than something that's Rangers related?!

Apparently they are phoning up Jim Carrey to see if he wants to star in Liar Liar II.

Interesting the Sevco are listed, I take it this was before he was struck off as a director (yesterday)

It has the option of buying out Mr Whyte’s stake in the firm until October 31 this year.

Douglas Ware, chief executive officer of the Worthington Group, added: "We believe that the transaction contemplated by this announcement gives the company a major opportunity to increase shareholder value and thus to strengthen the company's balance sheet, enabling the company to look at additional opportunities as they arise."

Ha ha, he's completely mental! What rights would these be anyway? The whole story has been played out in the press in minute detail, I doubt there's anything left to tell, nothing true anyway.

[covenanter 158]

I am hearing the Casting Director is interviewing both Chris McLaughlin and Andy Serkis(Gollum) for the starring role of intrepid BBC Scotland Chief Football Reporter, Chris McLaughlin. Of course, Marty Feldman has been cast as Craig Whyte.
