I'm sure other football club owners would welcome the same kind of investigation.
We have been calling for the club to make a stand against them for years. Now we have I'm supporting him even if part of it is self preservation.
There BIG difference is other new owners such as McCann were pretty transparent. The BBC did have a look at where he got his money, he was a fairly open book. Some of the stuff about him I didn't like, plenty of the stuff about him i've never liked. The BBC had a look at Romanov as well, he was pretty easy to find stuff about. So Whyte has been treated no different to them. I have heard Rangers fans bleating all week about people investigating Whyte's past and his past is irrelevant. And yet John Reid's past was of utmost importance to you and your fellow Orcs. Some might wonder why it's different for Reid?
The people who took over Scottish clubs have been fairly well known, known businessman and as such have been pretty open books. The investigation of foreign owners of English clubs has been far more extensive than anything Whyte has endured.
