iceblink Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Latest Tomoblog Neil Doncaster, the Scottish Premier League boss, has just been on to reassure me that it makes no difference to their 30 May meeting – postponed from yesterday – to deal with penalties for clubs who can’t manage their cash. He seemed pretty relieved frankly – at least one storm that it was all about shoehorning Bill Miller’s new Rangers back into Premier League football can blow itself out. There’ll be plenty more, as he’d be first to acknowledge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forzamorton Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Celtic can't get enough champagne right now, while in Govan, they can't even hold down a Miller. Edited May 8, 2012 by forzamorton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting777 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 "Even after Bill announced his austerity measures last week there were people within the club asking how much money was available to be spent. It would take a fairly large amount of money to keep it from dying." That's my favourite bit - the fans telling him to GTF and Sally or someone asking how much they could spend - even the yanks are acting with incredulity at the obvious denial from within Aye ye couldnae make it up......havent paid a bill in over a year, millions and millions in debt to hundreds of creditors and the first question is....how much have we got tae spend next season. Feckin hilarious!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeps01 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 1336506834[/url]' post='6215289']In sporting terms (going into admin, going into liquidation, handball on the line) then you're right. In terms of the HMRC though, if you think they can't/don't/won't be in a position to decide each case on the merits then you're kidding yourself on. So we're talking about the big tax case then? NOTHING has been proven, decided, stated in a court of law that Rangers owe any money to HMRC whatsoever. Apart from the cluster f**k that Whyte inflicted on the club, there are no charges to answer. That's why the club is in administration. All the other crap that people scream about, meh......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 the hmrc will leave themselfs wide open to being sued(by portsmouth) surely. if they accept any less than what portsmouth had to end up paying ? NO ? No, what they deem to be fair for Portsmouth under their circumstances may not be what they deem fair for Rangers under their circumstances. However, what we can see is that they almost never accept a pence in the pound deal while football looks after its own by insisting those bills are paid in full. There's no football creditor rule in Scotland as such but while the players would potentially be on their arse if owed money, the SPL/SFA and UEFA seem likely to insist Celtic, Dundee United, Rapid Vienna, Manchester City etc get their money in full. Which I suspect, even ignoring whether HMRC is being vindictive about Rangers behaviour, does not bode well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I don't fully understand what is happening, to be honest. What happens now? Under what circumstances would Rangers cease to exist completely? And under what circumstances would they be relegated to the Third Division? Or will it always come back to the results of the SPL chairmen vote? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I can't stand Cosgrove but fair play to the man, he wasn't taking any shite from Spiers. Well done Stuart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
