  1. Nah, 'cos

    a. I'm a wee ugly fucker, and

    b. Doncaster? As in A*rshire, so in Yorkshire. You lot just gravitate to the class areas, don't you?

    Didnae say I lived there. Only useful for shopping as it's nearest Metropolis. Somehow managed to avoid some of the umm, more charming mining villages around South Yorkshire, like the toilet Chuckie Green hails from. Goldthorpe makes New Cumnock look like Vegas.

  2. What was the line used a wee while back. Can't for the life of me remember which one of the authorities it was used it now, but it was something about "fear or favour".

    I can only assume it was the SFA talking about being shit scared and willing to bend over at impossible angles.

    Cockwomble and Regan both said it at the start of this clusterfuck. Said they would apply the rules and regulations of their league and association without fear or favour. So where do negotiating punishments and social unrest fit in with that?

  3. Niall McKay@nmckay82Mccoist at lunch thing with Queen, said she's renewing :-)

    Ally - gospel truth - Duke of Edinburgh asked what was happening with the Rangers :-)

    And when are you paying the wife that £90 million you owe her?

  4. Total fantasy, SKY cannot dictate how the rules will be applied.

    I suspect the hand of Murdoch behind this Sevco to Division one nonsense, particularly the blatant bribe about showing all Sevco away games. Current TV deal expires at end of next season so it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if SKY have told SPL their re-negotiation involves getting four bigot fests back on the fixture list by then or they walk away.

    AUFC and SFL have been tellt this morning that anything other than Sevco being considered on their merits along with any other interested parties for entry to SFL 3 would be unacceptable.

  5. Aren't the liquidators controlling the incubator doing so on behalf of the creditors at least in theory. There is a suspicion that in this case they may not be serving the creditors interests as well as they might but that's another question.

    Essentially The liquidators bundle up the assets into a viable company and sell it off to try and get the creditors some of their money back.

    Can anyone tell me how the Oldco can work to reduce the debt when there are no assets left to generate cash? Would this then mean the only cash within the Oldco is from the sale of assets, at probably significantly reduced value? If so, how does this represent value for the creditors?

  6. But it wouldn't be spent in hotels, restaurants (well, McDonalds, anyway), etc. It may well not even be spent in Scotland - plenty of Rangers fans travel up from England/Northern Ireland. And there is no guarantee they'd spend it at all, may well just save it up. Either way, that £70million figure that Rangers fans spend as part of football tourism each way would be lost as there would be no football for them to be tourists of.

    I work in hotels and the market is such that many Glasgow hotels are reliant upon football income to survive. They are busy when Celtic or Rangers are playing, they are much quieter when they are not. It's not only likely, it's certain, that Rangers liquidation would result in job losses in associated sectors because the football tourists would not come. That would then take further money out of the economy. Rangers football tourism as income to the Scottish economy, were it to disappear, would have knock-on effects that would take such a large figure out of the economy.

    But takings may actually go up as more people realise they won't be subjected to the bigoted bile of OF fans and decide to have a night out in Glasgow? I live in England and many people I speak to still have this image of a hard city when they talk about Glasgow. Much of that stems from their perception of Scotland as shown by Sky. I also know plenty of pubs in Scotland who refuse point blank to show any game involving either of the twisted sisters and they are the pubs who thrive at weekends as they go after different target markets. Other clients will fill the void if the marketing is right.

  7. No 8 I think it was said when I asked the same thing, was that the EBT's were from the Trust and not Rangers.

    Re wage deferral tho, does that not make the players creditors inspite of amended contracts?

    And if they become creditors, does it push the current HMRC share of the debt below 25% when we reach the end of the deferred period? is this why Haudit and Daudit are stringing this out? How legal would such a move be?

  8. "STATEMENT FROM THE RANGERS SUPPORTERS ASSEMBLY, SUPPORTERS ASSOCIATION AND SUPPORTERS TRUST "Rangers fans worldwide have been very patient during the the recent difficult period in the hope that we will exit administration and be able to work towards re-establishing our club at the level to which we all aspire. However, the delay in the administrator's announcing the preferred bidder is seriously jeopardising our chances of exiting administration quickly and is forcing us closer to liquidation.

    With the proposed SPL rule changes meaning we may not be competing on an equal footing for the next two seasons, it is imperative we have the chance to exit administration with a Company Voluntary Agreement and that has to happen as soon as possible.We demand that the administrators announce the preferred bidder as a matter of urgency. If they fail to do so on Monday 16 April 2012, we demand to be informed precisely why they cannot announce a preferred bidder"

    And if the administrators dont give into these "demands" what are they going to do? release another statement :huh:

    If they had been competing on an equal footing for the last fifteen years we wouldn't need this thread.

  9. Creditor Claim (£)

    Trade & Expense Creditors 5,544,508

    Ticketus (amount of claim to be confirmed) 26,700,000

    HM Revenue & Customs – Excluding Big and Small Tax Cases 14,372,042

    HM Revenue & Customs – Small Tax Case TBC

    HM Revenue & Customs – Big Tax Case TBC

    Supporter Debenture Holders 7,736,000

    Football Related Creditors 1,063,082

    Employees TBC

    Total 55,415,632

    By my admittedly basic arithmetic HMRC own just under 26% of the debt.without either tax case.

    As far as I know they agreed £2.8million for the Small tax case taking the HMRC total to somewhere in the region of £17.1 million. (holy cow!)

    That would mean the total debt would need to be somewhere in the region of £69 million for HMRC to have less than 25% of the debt.

    Employees TBC would therefore need to be something like £14 million. Anyone know the value of those wages deferrals?

  10. I'd be very surprised if Ayr don't vote in our favour. Of course, you have the reason above but you also have the fact that they will just about be safe if they get a team with a points penalty in the league.

    Ayr will look at this from the point of having spent five years in Division 2 while they sorted out their own financial problems and also from the point that they had a representative on the LMC who made the original decision. I would be very surprised if Ayr even thought about supporting your appeal.
