dave.j Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 How many EPL clubs were investigated and then settled out of court with HMRC, Chelsea and Arsenal to name but two. The difference being they could afford the settlement, the Premier League even acted as a mediator to protect two of its most valuable assets. Was that going to happen in Scotland ? Was it f*ck !! With a reported tax bill of £75m plus hanging over them which investor would touch Rangers with a barge pole, the knives were out and the hounds smelled blood !! F*ck Rangers they can go to the wall !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottxs Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Not BRALT related but what's the story with the last game of the season at tynecastle. The program says a 7:45 pm kick off on a sat night. Very strange unless a misprint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yes Tedi ... it is when someone has sold/transferred it and the register has not been updated. A bill of sale or contract trumps the register period. Perhaps Mike Ashley's only nominated the trade marks...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Rangers they can go to the wall !! Finally getting it! Rangers could not afford to play silly buggers with HMRC. But they went ahead anyway and did it for years. Making themselves a bigger target with each prevarication. They killed themselves. Mostly down to their inherent arse-holey nature. The big EPL clubs had the wisdom to realise that particular wheeze would no longer work and settled. F*ck Yeah!!! Rangers they can go went to the wall !!

Ken Fitlike Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Did they not try the "shred the evidence" and "hope it goes away" approach? Nah. Only fucking idiots would do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
