Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I go with as much facts as possible but also use my own experiences in similar situation though i accept that will not always mean the same thing in a different business.I also use a bit of gut feeling when listening and reading someone. Im 100% behind Wallace. I was 0% behind Whyte and always remained neutral on Green until i saw the accounts and all the various bonus payments, payoffs and salaries. Since then, i have moved further and further away from what he done though still maintain he "saved us" at a crucial time when everyone else was picking their arses. That's a fair summary Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Caldow 60 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 charlie green was an asset stripper like whyte and he took us in like whyte and wlked away with a large wedge justn like whyte he never put his own money up it was other peoples cash as for saving us he rode off and never looked back...con man 1st degree. I thought asset stripping meant breaking a company up into little parts and selling them at a profit.Under Green we bought the Albion and Edmiston House. Surely that makes him an asset acquirer?

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 how could we not??We're a new company, not to be confused with Timmy's "new club" theory, and need 3 years of accounts history to be eligible for European competition. We won't be in Europe next season even if we win the Scottish Cup. We'll be eligible the following season though.99% sure on this, if anyone can prove it wrong I'd be pretty delighted.

These teams were getting special dispensation so they could defend their title. We would be asking UEFA to change their entry criteria to fit us in.Also the European spot wouldn't go to one of the other semi finalists it would get passed on to the team in the SPFL who finished next in line to the qualification places Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without quoting them verbatim, they state if a club has a change of legal entity and due to that change, the new owner does not have 3 years accounts then they can apply for a special exemption and that UEFA would consider it on a case by case basis.

Johnny Hubbard 280 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The loan is part of the business plan not an emergency last minute thing, how many times must it be said?They didn't sell him because they didn't think it was an acceptable enough offer for our best player.if it was part of a business plan....................why was the loan not offered to other shareholders who say they'd have given a better deal ?

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's the nature of a message board like this, people like to pretend they are 'in the know'.

TheBluebells 6,898 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Like when a newspaper puts 'a source said', a licence to print/say any old dross.Still behind Wallace, a look at his cv is the main reason behind that and I've yet to see something that will change it.

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Unbelievable Charles Green brings in this fanny to work for us then when he leaves he wants 625k which he says he's owed and Charles Green sticks up for him in court.That sounds dodgy to me. The way Rangers were flinging bonus around when he was here i'm surprised the cunt never just took it himself.I wouldn't be surprised if the fly bastard did get what he was owed but is still trying to get more.It's all a coincidence that Green brought him though isn't it then the two of them team up together to get even more money out of the club.People say "he saved the club, maybe he did but, that doesn't mean he's not dodgy.

Where you at the meeting?If you were then i'll take that comment back.Why would he refuse 500k? And i thought these shareholders didn't want there money back as they were "Rangers men?"

TheQueensEleven 1,355 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Im not asking anyone on here to believe me,but i know it to be true.Why would a club knock back a million quid for a player then 4 weeks later have to take out a loan of 1.5million.We really are a gullible lot on here.So Lee Wallace was outright lying when he said he was glad he didn't have to make the decision to reject a move, because the board had rejected the bid for him... Aye, it's one big conspiracy between Graham Wallace, Lee Wallace and Billy Davies.You want to wind your neck in, you raging lunatic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zander1 180 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The guy who told me spoke to BD,so if you think thats a rumour thats upto you.A third-hand, unnamed, unspecified, unverified source gave information to someone that none of us have ever met face to face who proceeded to post it on an Internet forum.I'm not saying you're lying mate, I've never met you, but how can you expect anyone to take that seriously? It's almost the definition of "rumour". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
