The Record has revealed the antics of Stockbridge, Whyte and Green The Record has revealed the antics of Stockbridge, Whyte and Green
THE following quotes were published on the official Rangers website on January 31, 2011.
“First, I would like to address specifically the latest attempt to undermine Rangers in today’s Daily Record which devotes five pages to trashing our efforts to get this club back on a sensible financial footing.
“In the most lurid terms, the Record accuses the club’s management and, specifically me, of using supporters’ money to help fund the buy-out of Rangers. Not true.
“The club is accused of not paying £5million in VAT. Not true.
“The Daily Record’s approach to this story sought to distort and dramatise the matter. I for one will not be reading or buying the Daily Record again and I’m sure many other Rangers fans will share my disgust at yet another smear on this football club.
“These are challenging financial times for Rangers – as they are for many other businesses. What I can say to you as a Rangers fan is that everything I will do as chairman will be in the interests of the club and I thank you for your continued support."
For the avoidance of doubt, these quotes were attributed to Craig Whyte. On the day the Daily Record revealed the truth about his ruinous financial chicanery.
Two weeks before he plunged the club into administration.
And a full six months after he had banned yours truly for revealing what he was up to with the club’s season tickets in the first place.
A story which he aggressively dismissed as a pack of lies to the delight of many of the club’s supporters.
Much could have been done to save Rangers from Whyte, in those intervening months, if only the Daily Record had been listened to.
Which is why there was something chillingly familiar about the latest populist propaganda to have been churned out by the club’s politburo at the weekend.

He also opened his infamous Craig Whyte billionaire story by calling Craig a 'financial whizzkid'.
Also, I liked the wee dig at the pash The Sun has been reporting recently, but dont the Record usually then also print the jist of their stories?
The guys just another old hack with no real clue as to how the news world has moved on from the 80s and 90s.

I was in Barcelona for the Celtic match. Night before the game we had dinner in Los caracoles (great old place). The Scottish press pack was at the table next to us. Macleod, a few lesser lights and Jackson. He was loud and obnoxious...obviously the alpha male in the pack. Some of his 'jokes' were in extremely poor taste and touched on a few taboo subjects. That was bad enough but they weren't funny although his acolytes were baying like hyenas. We had quite a laugh at their expense it has to be said

As I said - he didn't expose Whyte. Everyone knew by then that Whyte was up to his neck in it.
The time for his considerable journalistic expertise was when Whyte was conning his way into Rangers. What was Jackson doing then? Desperately making up utter rubbish about him being a billionaire in order to sell papers to Rangers fans who were desperate to hear some good news about their prospective owner.
The guy is schiedtbag.
