Pool Q Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Calling Sutton the best pundit in the Scottish game is, in reality, to damn with faint praise. He's clearly not as much of an idiot as that fat clown Derek Johnstone (who thankfully I very rarely hear as I don't live in Radio Clyde land) but then neither is most of the population of Scotland. Surely we are entitled to set the bar higher for our broadcasters than that they aren't as thick and inept as Johnstone. Sutton is a professional controversialist and gobshite, and he's one of those who isn't smart enough to understand that he isn't very clever. But at least he is prepared to be speak his mind and call an incompetent fvckwit an Ally McCoist or Ronny Deila. He also seems to want to talk up the product, like they do down south but unlike the majority of our media. His niggling attempt to start an argument with Lineker, Ferdinand (and whoever else BT wheeled out the other night) was both petty and funny at the same time.

And for the curmudgeonly, 'it's not like it was in my day' stuff Willie Miller is good value; his demolition of Rangers and the Joey Barton farce a couple of weeks back was terrific.

To be fair so did RBS so maybe we shouldn't be too hard on Sutton for that! Totally agree re Michael Stewart. Showing the others how to speak your mind but without being a dick at the same time.

RBS's whole worldview was skewed by the Nat West takeover and everything was referenced to that. For the ABN Amro deal they didn't even do full due diligence so they weren't aware of the shite they were buying and they bought in cash which almost drained their reserves.

I was referring more to the few million it lost when Madoff conned it into investing in what was nothing more than an elaborate Ponzi scheme, as opposed to the reasons for it going bust.

He played his part, don't get me wrong, but there were hundreds of very well paid managers and consultants who contributed to that disaster. I'd disagree the senior management team were to blame, the rubber stamped a deal that they didn't have nearly enough information on. To quote the FCA report "RBS decided to make a bid for ABN AMRO on the basis of due diligence which was inadequate in scope and depth, and which hence was inappropriate in light of the nature and scale of the acquisition and the major risks involved. This was the inevitable result of making a contested takeover, where only limited due diligence is possible. In proceeding on that basis, however, RBS’s Board does not appear to have been sufficiently sensitive to the wholly exceptional and unique importance of customer and counterparty confidence in a bank. As a result, in the Review Team’s view, the Board’s decision-making was defective at the time. RBS believed in its ability to integrate businesses successfully after the acquisition of NatWest; in the case of ABN AMRO, it underestimated the challenge of managing the risks arising from the acquisition." But we digress, Chris Sutton what a c*nt. Edited October 1, 2016 by Larky Masher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
