minstral 5,375 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 At no level could it be considerd a "huge deal" mate, but I agree Its a part of our history. Just another stick to hit Whyte with and deflect the blame from Murray even further, thats more in line with what I'm thinking.John Greig told me to "fuck off" when I asked for his autograph in 1976 (I was 7 years old) so I'll not be giving his opinion any credence. As for the previous board, well, "bunch of cunts" sums them up in my view.Still waiting for the admin chappies to tip us the nod before I condemn anyone other than David the thief.Murray told us he would only sell to someone who has Rangers best interest at heart. That tell you all you want to know about him. Apart from that he wanted out because if we lost the big Tax case, it would have nothing to do with MIH. Murray is up to his neck in this and will be found out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 71,874 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 What do you meanI don't know I just think it's a bit strange for something that was a gift and dated back to the 30's should get sold off without anyone noticing (Until now).How many of us even knew about these Arsenal shares before the events of this morning? I mean how many other things like this has our club received in the past which may have value and may have been sold on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearAbroad 42 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Seriously, someone needs to get into the trophy room and take an inventory pronto... heaven knows which other irreplaceable treasures this charlatan has pawned off for peanuts!!

tugbenson 13 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If this is not true the Record should be sued, and you wonder who is leaking the info to Traynor.Are you really still backing whyte?Its whyte that's been proved the liar, everything the record has said about whyte has come true..Not every press man has an agenda with us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how many other things like this has our club received in the past which may have value and may have been sold on?I kind of picked this out in a post at the start of this thread.I personally knew nothing about the shares before this story but with the way Whyte appears to be working he seems to have picked these out as being obscure enough, and possibly forgotten enough, for him to be able to get away with it without anyone batting an eyelid.

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 All joking aside surely a bit of history like these shares should have had some sort of protection attached to them?They did. But, it required an understanding of the importance of our history over and above a monetary value.The persons charged with protecting our history appear not to have understood this at all.

FGAU72 4 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I believe it's true, and that's not from the Record I've tried my best to hope he's been doing the right thing, that we were going through a necessary hard time because of the mess we were in. I've been quiet on Whyte for a long time now, hoping (more and more forlornly) that he's played some sort of blinder and done the right thing. I can still see scenarios where administration is a necessary evil.I can't see any situation where selling part of our history for £200k is the right thing to do though. Disgusted.Mate, your spot on. My feelings too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger 270 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 the real truth is the administrator or liquidator would have sold these anyway. whyte knew from day 1 that's where we were headed. of course at least then the money would be in rangers instead of being stolen.

NessFTW 40 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Pretty shocked about this to be honest. It's hard to believe that he actually thought he would get away it as well.
