vikingTON Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) At today's case management hearing, Phillips was trying to persuade Arnold J to agree to an expedited hearing as soon as July because the club is struggling to stay afloat. "Money is tight, time is short," he argued. The hearing had already been put back so that today's claims could be lodged with the High Court (17 April 2012).[...] The full hearing has been set for October this year. Oh well.

Gibby82 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If HMRC had appointed the administrators, as they wished to, would Rangers be dead by now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unterwasser Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Apologies if this has been posted before, but here's what happened in court in London today in the case against Collyer Bristow. Amongst other things, some creative writing is alleged. According to Phillips, the case against the former Rangers company secretary is that he wrote letters to other firms confirming that Collyer Bristow had received the takeover money and was holding it in its private client account, when in fact the group “never paid these sums to Collyer Bristow” and the firm “was not, and never had been, holding them”.Withey is also accused of forging Whyte’s signature on one of the letters claiming to have the funds stashed away. Phillips added: “Mr Whyte and Mr Withey conspired together with intent to injure the club by unlawful means. The principal purpose or objective of the conspiracy was the acquisition by group of the majority stake. “Mr Whyte and Mr Withey knew that the share issue and the takeover were mutually exclusive alternatives […] and the success of the conspiracy would therefore cause financial detriment to the club in the sum of £25m. […] The club will therefore incite the court to conclude that they intended to cause loss to the club or were recklessly indifferent.” Wow. If this is true then jail surely beckons for Whyte and Withey. No wonder he doesn't give a f**k about the SFA when he's got this hanging over his head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) If HMRC had appointed the administrators, as they wished to, would Rangers be dead by now? My guess: no, but with lots of players having been laid off, cuts made across the board, and the club looking only to fulfil its remaining fixtures before liquidation. The search would have been on, at this time, to form a phoenix club/NewCo to find a place in a division for 2012/13. You have to wonder what happens if Haudit and Daudit are forced into liquidation as late as June due to all these messy legal arguments, Water Mitty bidder and appeals to the SFA.

saintie1977 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 They just can't fathom they've done anything wrong. Fans talking about agendas against Rangers. Instead of liquidating them they should liquidise Ipox and chuck the remains in the Clyde so they can float out to sea for burial.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE KING Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 To be fair, he's not wrong. True he used ticketus to effectively buy rangers, which is now exactly what the blue knights are doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Probably sobbing unstoppably in the middle of the nearest Victoria wine to Govan! Victoria Wine along with Haddows, Wine Rack, Peter Dominic etc were owned by "The Threshers Group" which went into administrations in 2009 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 any other club would get more sympathy if they were in this position. traynor your a buffoon of a human. Traynor's journalism is mutton dressed as succulent lamb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uni Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Anyone see the roaster on Reporting Scotland claiming that there was an agenda against Rangers?

mozam76 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I normally listen to the Sportsound Podcast knowing full well that it's going to be teeth grittingly unbearable but I think tonights one, going by some of the comments on here, will be getting a swerve. Billy Dodds has been pretty unbearable during the whole thing, and I think it was Sunday night he was at his worst. He was saying "see, I've no idea why we're not supposed to say which team we support - I mean, Craig (Paterson) supports Hibs, you Richard (Gordon), you support Aberdeen. I've no problem with that." Of course he stopped short of saying that he himself is a dirty rabid Rangers b*****d. Someone should be pulling him aside and saying ", although they give off a different impression, you work for the BBC who decide that YOU should be impartial. THAT'S why.". I absolutely detest the wee cretin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidger Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 think my most favourite thing about reading RM is the second post advert which normally says 'i completely agree look below' and shows some completely irrelevant advertising to some complete wallopers first post. Some have fitted in to much amusement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
