Our base costs were around £42m pa. £28m payroll and £14m other. Knock 80% off the payroll and you're down to around £6m. You've still got your £14m other costs, so costs are £20m instead of £42m. Let's say sponsorship, broadcasting and commercial income falls from £14m down to £4m and ticket sales and hospitality falls from £24m to £16m then you are at a breakeven situation. Very "back of the envelope" but hopefully it gives an idea of what we may be looking at.

I doubt the running costs have quartered. The payroll may well have done but what other costs will have significantly reduced? It may well still be a struggle to break even.

The owner being Rangers. Great. Thanks for that, Brown.

The Rangers directors and/or ex-directors? That's a bit different from TBK, and to try and equate the ravings of Brown to the considered warnings of respected businessmen is chalk and cheese.

The article is a total misrepresentation of what was said at the meeting.

I can assure you that they weren't. They didn't exist a year ago.

It was Stockbridge that made the offer to view the docs so he should be the one to be contacted over that. I don't believe TBK were saying anything about Whyte a year ago.

He's turning into a mad stalker. I doubt I'd take his calls either.

It's a shame Brown turned down the opportunity for someone to go into Ibrox on Friday. However his own accountant has reassured him about the deeds. Even if Murray had gone out of his way and travelled to see Findlay, it's quite obvious that it would not have satisfied Brown and whoever is behind him. They would just come out with more stufff as has been seen over the past few days. Brown is obviously not interested in answers. He just wants to shit stir.

He's gone beyond boring now. The question was answered last week. Does he not understand the answers?

Charged with what?

Yeah sorry Ian, but I don't think that crap like that should be given a wider read than it has. It's lies and fen'ian propoganda.

I'd say tax evasion is where you are deliberately settng out to not ppay tax by illegal means. I'm yet to be convinced that the EBT scheme falls into that category. It's not as if the use of it was hidden for example.

There's a couple of things he could be got on: 1. Buying a company with the assets of that company. 2. Not fulfilling the obliation made in the initial sharehoilde circular. 3. Illegal trading. He could probably escape 1. Point 2 would need someone to really push for it but it may still happen. Point 3 is a given in my opinion and he should be charged for that and I'm surprised HMRC have not been pushing for it already.

I'd have thought that he was not acting as a director when selling the shares and as such he would be OK. Couldn't say 100% though and it's an interesting concept.

Not due back yet. Whether he will appear...?

There is a difference between outright tax evasion and not performing a tax avoidance scheme properly. I don't see any way he'd go to jail for that. Likewise it's not a crime to sell a business to someone who is dodgy.

Kerkar was out of the country due to a family bereavement, which is hopefully the main reason for the delay.

I don't believe Murray has done anything to warrant jail. I believe Whyte should but doubt that he will.

The title deeds question came to nothing so Brown comes up with something else. Highly predictable. Probably as much truth in this as there is about his title deeds claim, his claim that Sevco Scotland and Sevco 5088 are the same company and that Sevco changes its directors daily.

Do the Killie fans realise how pathetic they are, going running to Celtic fans?

That shows Goram has no idea what is going on.

So you're not in favour of startiing in division 3. As for the rest of it? Goalie, I love you but STFU.

I guess that answers my question.

Were we not assured by the RFFF on Wednesday that there was no securiyy over the property?
