lithgierose Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 regarding the SNP involvement in the rangers c.ase i sent Alex Salmond the following email, for all the good it will do but made me feel better Dear Alex, The story in the Daily Record surrounding the meeting of ministers and HMRC about the Rangers situation, if true, shows a grave misjudgement on this issue in my humble opinion. Your support of a club failing to meet its tax bill saddens me. Maybe all businesses should not bother to pay taxes. The demise of Rangers if allowed to happen would surely be a huge first step in lancing the cancer which is sectarianism in Scotland today. I cannot see what our party will gain by supporting the club as a great number of its supporters are politically unionist. Furthermore, you will lose voters throughout Scotland myself included with this stance. I refer you to the pie and bovril website forum thread rangers now in administration page 403-404. This gives a fair reflection of public feeling regards this situation and the loathing of this sectarian institution. For balance have a look at the rangersmedia site. Pick any forum. If it is the posters on that site that you choose to pander to then good luck and I and thousands like me will bid you and our party adieu. could you email this onto alex,he could use it as his net political broadcast 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynard Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 What's that got to do with Celtic fans? Not a lot. Especially as it's about Irish folk and people working for as living. Two things Celtic fans know nothing about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelegendthatis Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) I'd have thought it also quite worrying if Ticketus are involved. They'll have a huge, snarling dog in the fight to the tune of £20m ish, and as an investment firm, are they going to be interested in the normal machinations of a football club? SIgnings, form of the team etc? They'll want a profit on their investment, nowt more. If I were a Rangers fan I'd be quite perturbed at the thought of a group like that having a big say in things. Ticketus exists solely to give a good (or even a very good) return to people who are high tax payers and high net worth (= loads of dosh in their back pockets). So Ticketus have only one gaol in life, to maximize the return on their money. TAX BENEFITS Provided underlying investments are held for at least three years, you're entitled to four separate tax advantages: 30% income tax relief (on investments up to £500,000 per tax year) Capital Gains Tax deferral 100% inheritance tax relief (provided funds remain invested at the time of death) Up to 50% loss relief on any holding that falls in value Tax free growth So when they say they want to see a CVA from today's press release "The members of the Consortium remain united in their belief that a collaborative approach is essential in securing the Club's future through a successful and swift CVA process. The Consortium strongly believes that a CVA, not liquidation, is the best way to protect the Club's value and legacy and consequently that is the approach presented in our offer." they would wouldn't they. It is also the best way to protect the recovery of the money they handed over. Regarding the SPL and SFA looking at the bidders, what will they make of Paul Murray's involvement as a director when the Rangers board were being naughty boys? Was he asleep, not interested, pretending it wasn't happening, wishing it would all go away, or right in it up to his elbows? Will they look behind the scenes and find Dave King as a shadow director in the consortium company? And as for the running costs for Rangers being £10million, that is hardly a showstopper given the support and size of stadium and sponsorship opportunities. Two problems are that the new owners have ambitions beyond the size of their pockets, as they have been doing for a dozen years or so. The other problem is having these supporters groups represented on the board. Given the abilities they have shown during the administration I doubt if they could run a stall at the Barras profitably, never mind a serious business. So thanks guys for the thought, but don't ring us we will ring you. Edited April 4, 2012 by thelegendthatis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
