    It's a shame because it's going to overshadow the good points he raised.

    I think it'll depend on whether he can back up his claims. Despite his good work, the fact is that he'll be remembered by many as the guy who made a twat of himself on live radio unless he proves this threat.

    He's basically slagged off fellow journalists for being ****e at their job - making a big point of them publishing stories of Whyte's unimaginable wealth without checking sources. Regardless of the obvious truth of that, it's much easier to ignore / explain away if you can point out your accuser as being guilty of the same "journalistic sins"

    I googled Whyte the first time I heard about him, as I remember what I found was he had a castle he wouldn't pay repairs on and a company he didn't own

    Off the radar indeed

    His castle is only 4 times more expensive than my house too

    Billionaire my arse I thought

    I also love how they all say they have covered this from the start....yeah the start of Valentines day

    Everything reported in MSM was available via RTC and PhilMaBoaby six months previously

    Bains contract was the only new thing and that came from channel 4

    As I said earlier......Yalday

    You cant pay google to be removed though, they just don't want to admit they didn't do any research on him. You can pay companies to exploit the algorithm but a quick check at companies house would have revealed all.

    Pretty poor considering it took him months to buy rangers. They were probably too tired digesting the succulent lamb murray paid for.

    That's what you get for using Twitter, everyone thinks they are celebrities and everyone else wants to listen to their condensed tweet opinions.

    The one thing that made me laugh was when AT said that the Scottish sports journos should have been asking questions about the corporate governance of the SFA and Rangers.

    Big Hugh suggested he was just a poor and lowly sports journalist so corporate governance was not in his remit.

    Whilst AT pointed out that Hugh should have gone to his editor and ensured another journo did the work, one thought crossed my mind.

    For the last few years and especially the last few months, Hugh and plenty of sports journalists have had no problem talking about the corporate governance of Rangers until we are ****ing sick of it.

    That fifteen minutes showed the cosy, lazy, sycophantic Scottish press up for what it really is.

    Just for the record - I obviously have more evidence than mere tweets real or no - which will be handed to police

    Absolutely. When they felt on dodgy ground, they said that RTC could publish what he liked while they had to be more careful which is complete and utter balls. It was and is Lazy.

    No he didn't retract his claim. He is being deliberately ambiguous.

    He's retracting his claim about the tweet. Well he has to <laugh>

    As I said last night, I hope for his sake his other evidence is less flimsy <laugh>

    It would appear that some of the fans of Rangers FC have more decency in them than the despicable club they support.

    I believe the aim is to settle all the debts under £1k.

    I am not going to poke fun. Fair play.
