Looks like theres gonna be a lotta work for those laser surgeons soon.

They will be finished next week when the money runs out. There are no money streams open to them.......especially the bank..........or the SFA

They are a big team in a nation of 5m souls. In the big European scheme of things they are nowt as has been shown by only £500k being raised for the RFF. Thats is a tenner from every attendee at Ibrox. There are no rich North Americans, Australians or Mongolians out there that are gonna throw good money after bad. The mindset of the fans is centred in the 1970s when there were issues outside football that affected many lives and for many the only way to express themselves was through football. Times and people have moved on but they havent. We are still in a "credit crunch" and banks wont lend to business so they sure as hell wont lend to buy a b***** football club. The club is a loss maker. The only reason any rich guy would buy it is to offset profits. ie SDM and we can all see where that landed them.

Most still believe someone is waiting in the background ready to save them at the last minute. Even when the place is bulldozed and turned into a ALDI they'll still no get it. A bit like Comical Ali saying theres no American tanks in Baghdad.

The main stand is the only part thats listed. The rest can get flattened without much concern. The plumbing in the other stands is supposed to be a bit iffy. Just needs another bad winter.

Another thing to remember is Ibrox is not in a great state of repair and whoever buys it, (assuming its going to be used for football), will need to fork out to get it back in shape. The longer the "gates are padlocked" the worse it will get. The place needs heated and theres no gas/electricity then the place will start to rot. Being a listed building wont prevent it from being bulldozed if it becomes unsafe.

As entertaining and funny as it is, this whole thing is way beyond the world of football. I think everyone now realises that the games up and everyone who can finish the job is too afraid to do it. Maybe thats why the court action was started today. Get FIFA to finish off Rangers so no one can get the blame. H&D know theres no chance of selling the club. Greens going to walk and the money is pretty much gone. Can see Strathclydes finest being very busy next week.

Eh..... you do know hes dead and buried?

It did show up in their accounts and the accounts were signed off. ............. or so we are told.

RFF is £500k. Thats like a whole tenner from each of the ibrox faithful. lol

Bit difficult to field a team when theres no money to pay the rates, leccy and gas bills as well as wages.

Top stars that are under 18 i suppose?

Money runs out in 6 days then D&P have to somehow find the money to continue. Players contracts revert back to pre Feb 14th levels. Cant see this continuing much longer. Why hasnt there been a call for DM to loose his knighthood?

Taking tax advice from a stuck off lawyer/porn star really is incredible. UEFA must now get involved. The SFA with Ogilvie at the helm cannot be trusted to deal with this matter now. Too much conflict of interest.

Conflict of interest! Think youve put that mildly. pmsl

Sounds like its time to call in plod

So that would mean the players etc were possibly unaware. Thats actually worse as that means there was a concerted effort to evade tax by the corporate body.

Thats something i asked earlier in the thread. Probably cause there is little chance of getting them.

Did Mo Jo not sign for Rangers because Celtic wouldnt pay his tax?

Was Al Capone not eventually sent to jail for tax evasion?

From my understanding the EBT was done like this:- Part of the employees wages were put in to a trust fund then given back to them as an interest free "loan". As the loan was never repaid it was therefore wages and should be taxable. Ie totally illegal.

Surely if the HMRC cant get the tax from RFC then they could chase the EBTers for it?

Should be very interesting if its the entire list of EBTers thats aired tonight. Was there not something also about the Bunnets phoned getting taped as well? Unfortuately, all this will add fuel to the other half of the OF conspiracy against them.

Just wait and see what happens when UEFA punish them for the double contracts. Itll be volcanic!!

The EBTs case seems to be the big problem for Rangers. Doing the dirty on the creditors is one thing and theyll just start a newco and act as if nowt has happened. However, getting proved and found guilty of double contracts is another ball game altogether. If the SFA fail in their duty to turf them out then UEFA, (who lets be honest here dont show mercy and already had run ins with Rangers recently), will force the SFAs hand.
