In 5years Craig Whyte will be seen as a hero of the club

It's been a few months since the disaster of entering admin and all that came after it, but do you think Craig Whyte will be seen as a saviour of Rangers in 5 years time for the following reasons: -

1) Rangers are debt free, and unlike any other club in Scotland now able to make a profit and grow from strength to strength

2) it is almost universally recognised that the liquidation of the oldco plc did not mean the end of Rangers history

3) he stated in that interview, and I think any right thinking fan must agree with him, that administration was 75% likely from the start of his reign - after all remember when no one could understand why anyone in their right mind would buy Rangers with a potential @ £100 million tax bill still possibly to land on on them. So he bought it looking to trade off with the tax man, that didn't happen so he put's Rangers in admin and we end up in SFL 3 with clean boots and no debt burden. Job done.

3) errm, that's it!

Light the blue touch paper, stand well back and.........discuss!

Personally, I think he's a lying faced git, but I do think that in 5 years time the club will definitely be the strongest club in Scotland and if they still remain debt free have the chance to become strong in Europe if we learn the lesson of not going in to debt and using fans income and sponsorship and all the rest of Green's new income sources.

This could be the definition of short term pain, long term gain. It's just that the pain might last 4 years!

That won't be down to Whyte though. He wasn't thinking about the best interests of the club, but he will claim thats what his plan was.

You are correct he didnt have our interest at heart. Neither did the fucker that employed him.

I still maintain it was Craig Whyte who destroyed our club, not David Murray.

Whyte instantly gave us £18m debt when he came from the Ticketus deal, then another £13m+ from not paying tax. That's what we went into administration for, not the BTC. That hadn't even been decided yet, and still hasn't.

Yeah, chances are David Murray would have done it eventually, maybe, but IMO it was Whyte who actually did it.

The point I'm trying to make (and obviously really badly given the usual timmy reaction) is that Whyte pretty obviously planned admin from the start as at least being 75% likely.

He set up his own accountants as administrators before the HMRC could appoint there's and they saw the club out of admin into a newco and Charles Green has defended the newco = old club stoutly.

Now there is a way forward, and it was all started because it seems only Craig Whyte was willing to take us into the horrific CVA / liquidation process, and while the knights umm'd and aaa'd over what to do, Green came in and took charge of business.

Don't like the man, but I think in 5 years time we'll like the result.
