He was flown back to the UK yesterday and was arrested at Heathrow Airport in London before being transported to Glasgow.Legal papers claim Whyte pretended to Sir David Murray and the board of directors that he had "sufficient funds to acquire controlling shareholding" in Rangers.This is said to have "induced" the board to agree to the sale to Whyte.Whyte is then accused of pretending he would provide £5m to buy players, that he would fork out £2.8m for a tax liability and use £1.7m to settle "agreed capital expenditure".Other allegations listed in the charge include an accusation that Whyte was part of a claim to the Ticketus firm that David Murray was aware the purchase was being funded by selling season tickets.Ticketus are said to have then entered into an agreement to acquire three years of season tickets.It is further alleged Whyte pretended to the SFA that he had not been disqualified from being a director leading them to believe he was a "fit and proper person" to take control of a club.The charge concludes that Whyte got the shareholding by fraud and that he failed to provide contracted funds for the "continued operation" of the club - witholding payment of VAT, PAYE and NI contributions from HMRC.It is said this caused the club to enter into administration.The second charge under the Companies Act is over a number of days in May 2011.It is claimed funds from an agreement with Ticketus were used to "to meet obligations as purchaser of the club" - in particular £18.2m was paid to Lloyds Bank.The charge also states funding of the "acquisition of the controlling shareholding" was made by "selling an asset of the club" - the income from the sale of season tickets."

deco19761 1,006 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 To be fair he was a total charlatan. Just think .... If we had made it past Maribor and whoever else it was (I was Pissed by then to be honest with you and totally Pissed off) then he may still be here. If he had been owner if ally would have got us in the champions league and the windfall that would bring, he.whyte, may have got away with his plan.tell the board I have capital . Hope ally gets into champions league. Stay for a few years use money from champions league to pay tax and vat etc without spending on the team then sell as on as a going concern and walk with a few million.
