No. Plenty other bodily fluids though. Luckily I`d had the foresight to drape the sofas in heavy duty tarpaulin.

26. The concerns of some members of the IBC were exacerbated in every respect upon the commissioning, by an external third party, of a private investigation into the business, financial and personal background of Mr Craig Whyte. In March 2010 a substantial and detailed report was prepared by investigators for the purposes of that third party but a copy was provided to the Chief Operating Officer Mr Martin Bain. He was very concerned at the information it contained. Mr Bain did not disclose the report or its detailed contents to all of the IBC. Mr Bain disclosed it and its contents to the Chairman Mr Alastair Johnston. The information contained in the report disclosed Mr Craig Whyte had previously been involved and continued to be involved in a large number of companies. Many of these companies had been established and then wound up soon after as being insolvent. A number of the companies left substantial debts unpaid and in particular with substantial debts arising from unpaid tax liabilities. If the report were accurate, the unpaid tax liabilities arising from income tax and corporation tax from the various dissolved companies ran substantially into six figure sums.

27. That Mr Bain was extremely concerned about the standing and suitability of Mr Craig Whyte and his motives in purchasing the majority shareholding in Rangers FC. Mr Bain enjoyed a close working relationship with Sir David Murray. He had been appointed by Sir David Murray to his present role. Knowing Sir David Murray’s personal and individual approach to business matters he was apprehensive about raising his concerns with him and considered that there might be personal repercussions. He took the view that once he “crossed the line” there would be no way back. Nevertheless he considered that it was appropriate to meet with Sir David Murray privately to express and if necessary emphasise his concerns at the proposed sale of the MIHL shares to Mr Craig Whyte. He met with Sir David Murray in March 2011. He set out at length the matters which had been explored in the IBC and directors personal meetings with Mr Whyte and the lack of information which had been obtained. He expressed concern at the lack of transparency and the lack of due diligence being carried out both by and towards Mr Craig Whyte by Sir David Murray and the Murray Group. Mr Bain disclosed the contents of the investigation report into Mr Craig Whyte and provided Sir David Murray with a copy of the report.

28. Sir David Murray explained to Mr Bain that he was under pressure from Lloyds to dispose of and realise his MIHL shareholding in Rangers FC to Mr Craig Whyte, and that in view of his overall financial position he was left with almost no option but to sell his shares to Mr Craig Whyte. He urged Mr Bain to secure the agreement and approval of the IBC and the Board of Rangers FC to the sale of the MIHL shares to Mr Craig Whyte. Mr Bain declined to do so and from the time of that meeting prior to 6 May 2011 Mr Bain’s hitherto close relationship with Sir David Murray was damaged.


Murray was "Duped" right enough
