kildog Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I know one of those paid was also speaking in the press about how he would just have to accept what he is given blah blah blah...despite already being paid. Something he failed to mention when being interviewed. What a dick. I hope he gets his windaes done in. Unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yep...Exactly what i said earlier this morning This might sound daft, but why didn't the fighting fund give the money for creditor x to the club, for the club to officially pay to that creditor off? Thats what I thought they were doing... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Forgive my ignorance, but is the following likely? 1. Rangers suspended for a year by the SFA. 2. The SPL, not wanting to have a league of 11 and relieved of the hardest decision, draft in Dundee or whoever and offload Rangers to the SFL. 3. The SFL punt them into division 3. 4. Green walks away from his lower league club. 5. They die on the spot and we get a new SFL club. 6. Everybody laughs and tucks into jelly and ice cream (except the orcs, of course) Fixed that for you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I thought they were doing... Because it was far better spent pursuing a kamikaze court action, which may be the actual thing that kills the club.... Actually, I've no idea. Clearly the fans who were organising things have been far too trusting of those holding the purse strings. No change there then. I've heard tales of individuals paying off small creditors but the RFFF seems to be handing over cash to the Chuckle Bros to do with as they will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leads to death an 3 or 4 pheonix GFC, Ranjurs Govan, RFFFFFFFFFC, etc in juniours 2 Is Dundee, no questions or thoughts once 1 3. SPL cannot punt anyone in these circumstances - depends on SFL acceptance 4. Green will have walked away long before 5. If an empty spot, there are a few who would have to vie for SFL 3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I thought they were doing... I'd imagine that it would be deemed unfair for the other creditors, effectively giving one of them a preferred status. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirondistNYC Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 On the HMRC front, lengthy article on David Hartnett the former permanent secretary in the FT. Most useful in understanding why the cry "we're a victim, Vodaphone and Goldman got away with it" from Bears doesn't really apply anymore and where that approach came from. Link unfortunately behind a registration wall. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f5b698c0-aa8f-11e1-899d-00144feabdc0.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeHectorPar Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Heaven help those who are, or are going, on holiday. They will never catch up on this thread which has now taken on a life of its own. Even going for a pee means that it will take an hour to catch up with the latest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'd imagine that it would be deemed unfair for the other creditors, effectively giving one of them a preferred status. Thats feasible actually. Its just bugging me today that we're hearing about creditors being paid off on a casual basis, with no formal action by the club, yet when it comes to court actions, then suddenly the fighting fund is sent straight to the club. I think the club would have had to (not) pay VAT on any income. I gather Rangers have come up with a technique to minimise their vat payments, so I don't think vat is a problem for them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araminta Moonbeam QC Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 1338554918[/url]' post='6293962']I'm off out to the shops but I've a bit of a dilemma. I want to get some jelly and ice cream in but I don't want folk thinking I'm doing it to celebrate the jubilee. Maybe I should hold off for a few days, they surely won't go tits up this weekend? That's me outed as a tarrier then. Would be ironic indeed if they perished over the bank holiday, with the Union Jack plastered everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
