Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread - All chat here!


Recommended Posts

Away and lie down.

Everything about EBTs/cheating/financial doping/dual contracts/sporting integrity has been done to death.

Only The Big Hoose Bear is welcome on the thread ;)

In other words.....Now you've been found out, you'd like to sweep it all under the carpet.

That's what they hint at themselves..

WE WOULD like to correct some misleading information that has been circulating on what is described as the Big Tax Case.

For the avoidance of doubt, Rangers have not lost the case. There is no question of any liability impacting on our Club, its history or any member of the Rangers International Football Club plc Group.

The Rangers Football Club and the entities which currently own and manage it are not party to these proceedings nor do we have any say in what happens. The proceedings are a matter for those affected by them.

We note that the assessments for tax which were the subject for appeal and which are referred to as the Big Tax Case relate to Murray Group Holdings Limited, Murray Group Management Limited, The Premier Group Property Limited, GM Mining Limited and RFC 2012 PLC (in liquidation).

Glib and shameless

Well , well well.

What a great day.

Those saying that this makes little material difference are probably right.

It makes a massive psychological one though.

Rangers had appeared to get off the hook, regarding the ' tax dodger' label.

Obviously the previous verdict was unjust, even if it could be defended in legal terms. That was clear from the words of guys like Billy Dodds and certain revelations in the Mark Daly programme. It was also clear that Murray had initially anticipated a guilty verdict, given that he offered to do a deal for £10m, then sold it to a passing chancer for a pound.

It's interesting to see references to "common sense" in this ruling. It's also fascinating to see references to how this really did give Rangers playing advantages, as the players might otherwise have gone elsewhere.

I'm certain that title stripping won't be revisited. The initial ruling wasn't dependent on the EBT case, although Rangers fans on here were keen to link them after the FTTT verdict.

The issue then was that despite the deliberate false registration of players, the players were adjudged to not have been ineligible. That was perhaps contentious, but today hasn't changed it.

The wording today does however pour scorn on the accompanying claim that Rangers had gained no sporting advantage.

It also pours scorn on those who clung to the original verdict as some sort of vindication for a policy that was morally despicable. Special mention on this goes to Chris Graham for his posturing performance with Spiers when he thought he was right. As ever with Graham, he was wrong in every way possible.

Excellent summation, MT.

While there is no doubt the only material victors today - and for the foreseeable - are m'learneds, it is quite obvious, yet again, that when the whole sorry fabrication is held up to the light of the actual LAW (like in the TUPE case - hiya, Vicky, hiya fúckwit!), it is revealed to be about as substantial as a pair of Mrs McCullough's scanties.

Probably enough time and money has been spent - and reputations invested - in the continuation myth to ensure that some kind of grotesque ersatz team continues to play in Govan for a while, but the allowances being made in order for them to carry on are becoming embarrassing. I do think, though, that when this latest bunch go under it will be down to the thieving of those involved since February 2012 - every one of whom has been demonstrably untrustworthy since before they ever got near the trough. Unless you're a bear, of course, in which case the repeated and inevitable discoveries of cash leaving ibrox in wheelbarrows continued to come as a surprise.

Any decent person would want to distance themselves from this sorry rats' nest of corruption and lies, but if that means giving up being "ra peepul", they can't help bending over for every crook to wander into town talking about "challenging celtic", and adding to a World Record trophy count. Gullible fools, the lot of them.

Time now, methinks, for an advance research party to find out how their former business partners are going to cope with the inevitable decline of support engendered by the realisation that there will never, now, be anything resembling a rivalry with the Govan Strollers. With nobody left to give a fúck about Ireland, a huge stadium to maintain, shite European form and no massive money in the Scottish Game (and no partners to make sure the Diddies don't exceed their crumb quota), celtic's decline may not be as precipitous as that of their Sisters, but it will nevertheless be a pleasing sight.

Stripping trophies? It doesn't really matter. Any won by (Legally-stated) cheating will be forever tainted. Any won by other clubs will gain lustre, as they were won in a rigged game.
