steward17 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 It's worth pointing out that since 2000, Rangers business did not grow at all. In fact, it can easily be argued that it shrunk - CL payments went massively up, yet turnover remained largely static. In fact, in recent non-CL years it had decreased from non-CL years in 02 & 03 by a few million. In contrast, during the same period, Celtic's income had pretty much doubled. I'm not sure who it was, possibly that former director Adams?? who said that the Rangers board was filled with guys there for the social aspect and never had much input in the running of the club. Celtic appointed guys from British-American Tobacco, The Bank of England, etc. Even so, had Celtic maintained the spend of Barnes/Dalglish and early O'Neill, they too would be facing meltdown. And John Reid!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Craig Whyte was Irish they'd call him a loveable rogue with his cheeky grin, just like Charlie Haughey and Kaiser Dermott.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's alright. As I said, so long as you've built your success on ripping off the Irish Taxpayer and not the HMRC, that's all perfectly cool.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steward17 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 In what way were they ripped off? Tax avoidance and there Prime Ministers judgment being 'clouded' by payments and side payments including a yacht and repairs/upgrades enhancements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 In what way were they ripped off? Is this Groundhog Day? By Dermott bribing Haughey to give him over priced Government contracts, allowing him to build up enough wealth to pump millions into Celtic Football Club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollymac Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 You do understand that tax avoidance is entirely legal, don't you? Not sure what your next bit has to do with anything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they overpriced, or is that wishful thinking on your part? Presumably these people have been jailed for this fraud? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollymac Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Regarding Dermott buying/cheating success for Celtic, I understand his input to the club amounts to around half a years turnover. Compare and contrast with the figures I listed earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post economic melt down there are more public inquiry's in the ROI than you can shake a stick at. but in part answer there will be criminal inquiry's/prosecutions to varying aspects at some time. whats the term proper and fitting person ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollymac Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 ...which was my point: moneys added to a club that couldnt be relied on again. A bit of obfuscation is always good for an agenda though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismcarab Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 In what way were they ripped off? I think the gentleman has covered that argument now sir, please enjoy the song. You have to love how the opening clip is stuff going down the drain then a red white and blue wall shows up in the background.........and it perfectly sums up the current situation in the title. Then it has the added bonus of being reflective of the party mood everyone is anticipating when the bubble finally pops. I know I really shouldn't say this but.....I'm expecting lots of greenies for this one!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
