Would be King for me any day, we have at least seen the colour of his money.

Good, let them all come out the woodwork and bring it to a head.

Thanks for putting that up although I'm hopeless at figuring out what any of that kind of stuff means. If he did get money in advance it's back to the same question as the ticket money, what was used as collateral as everybody knows we're not exactly minted ?? Also if he did get X amount up front then it looks like anything that money could be squeezed out of is being exploited to the limit, and as you say it's funny people weren't digging around to find out how much he got. Could be that because Whyte was just in the door and we were wanting to believe everything was rosy so it's slipped under the radar? The OP who first posted the documents, wasn't exactly given a big thank you for bringing the subject op (to be fair though, no one could figure them out and I still can't).

I read some of their forums, they have convinced themselves that a few of their teams will take turns at stepping up and challenging the tarriers for first place every year, and it will make for a much more tighter and competitive league. How can you try to argue sense into that kind of mentality ? The sponsors and TV mobs will be clawing at each other to get a piece of that action.

I think they are all terrified to get on the the wrong side of Liewell. Their bastard fans are all dying to see our demise with this tax thing, can you imagine the choke hold the tarriers would have on the lot of the diddies if it ever did come to pass ? The clowns have no idea what they're praying for.

Double post.

His word is his bond.

Does anyone know how much Whyte got up front for the catering money, and if he mentioned it when he was counting the ins and outs ?

One of the first things he did was get a swatch of catering money up front. Don't know how many years worth.

Would we find a leader strong enough to persuade any two of us to agree if it was dark out or daylight ?

I'm waiting on the cavalry Booler, am I kidding maself on ? And if no, could they make it on time ?

I just wish he would win the odd case or two.

No matter what is going on, there is too much mystery about it to be a good thing. Somebody is taking the pish and it's a matter of place your bets. Mine is on Whyte no having two tanners to rub the gether and if he gets out of this with a few grand profit he'll be tickled pink. Maybe even pay for his roof.

Lafferty and Jig.

Take your pick, but it's definitely no the fans and yet we are the ones worried sick, and fed up of being the laughing stock.

Drama queens ? We've been a soap opera off the field for years. Len me your bong.

Ahm a bigot, and we should give as good as we get and then some. Fuck them.

Spot on, but here's my wild guesses anyway. Dave King and others are hanging around somewhere, in cahoots with AJ. The only reason I have is that King already has 20million invested that he does not want to give up without a fight (would any of us?). Sir Minty is hanging around somewhere, in cahoots with Craig Whyte. The only reason I have is his flying visit to his "doctor", after being missing for how long ? He also managed to fit in a wee chat with Ally, just before the loss of his best striker with no replacement (was he telling him not to quit as things were being taken care of?). If I was anywhere close to being right, and had to choose, it would be King and co. for me no problem as he has already shown us the color of his money. Can any of say the same for Whyte (a pound coin doesn't count) ? And enough said about Minty. Probably more wishful thinking than a guess (nothing wrong with a bit of competition to keep each party "honest").

They're still digging.

Personally I hope someone else is waiting in the wings. Tax case or no, does anyone else think that Whyte will invest anything of his own to have us living more than a bare existence ? Or if we do make a profit on our own, I can see him skimming it out as fast as it comes in. Sorry, but have not seen anything else so far to lead me to think otherwise.

Where are Whyte's defenders ? Friends ? Business associates ? Past companies he has taken over and turned around ? Is there anyone out there who will come out and give him a reference and tell us we are in good hands ? Good God I'm a complete arsehole but even I could dig up a couple a dummies to stick up for me. Is he a Motherwell alien (there's a few of them right enough) ? We all have these computers and we can find out fuck all.

Seriously, I think what you wrote is pretty valid. I've been reading on the Hearts board, and when there's a story out about the mad one, their responses are almost word for word the same as a lot of us on here when something new comes out about Whyte. Now we would say they are fuckin nuts for backing Vlad, but they say the exact same thing about us backing Whyte. Personally I think both sets of fans know how close to shit creek our clubs are, the last thing we want to hear is any news condemning who we hope will be our "savior", there is just too much at at stake. So IMO the bbc and the record are a dirty shower of cunts who will stick the boot into us every chance they get, but I wouldn't disregard every single thing they print, as they do get it right sometimes. How would we feel if we backed Craig Whyte to the hilt with protests etc. and he did turn out to be a crooked bassa and left us fucked ? Can anyone on here put their hand on heart and say they know enough about the man to swear he would not ? What if I asked a similar question about mad vlad ?

One of these days we may have to choose between our fans uniting under one banner or sinking into oblivion.

What's bothering me is the people who gave us the 20/24 million know about the tax case, they also know if we go into admin it'll be pennies in the pound for creditors. Craig Whyte must have dangled a pretty big carrot to squeeze that amount out them, so what the hell was it ?

Hope they asked to look at his receipt.
