Collyer Bristow defiant in face-off with Rangers administrators

Mr Withey does seem to have been remarkably unlucky in his football connections. In 1998 he was Company Secretary at another football club - Crystal Palace. For those who may not remember Palace were bought by a local businessman Mark Goldberg who promised great things and lots of money and it all collapsed very shortly afterwards in a lot of recriminations and unpaid bills as well as some very dubious goings on. Palace slid into administration and Mr Goldberg and another director received bans from acting as directors (Mr Goldberg's has still not run out). Due to the other Director contesting his ban we are lucky to have the whole sorry saga set out in the law reports http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2003/2843.html I was particularly interested to note the Judge's comments regarding a minute drawn up by Mr Withey relating to an amended contract which seems to have been accepted by him as not having been done correctly. Really one would think after such an encounter that Mr Withey would have been particulrly careful not to have got drawn into anything that could be misconstrued in the future - it seems he did not learn.
