RANGERRAB

I’d always thought HMRC expected to lose the BTC but they won it (in the end). Now we’re seeing oldco liquidators BDO trying to reduce the amount owed and are questioning much of HMRC’s conduct throughout the BTC I suspect they’ll also be asking why Whyte was allowed to avoid paying income tax/NI for almost 6 months

As well as the BTC , doesn’t the £94m include the wee tax case & Whyte’s non-payment of income tax /NI?

If possible, we should be doing everything we can to persuade Morelos to sign a new long term deal. And it will cost us. The harsh reality is that it will cost a fortune to replace Morelos with a player of his ability. The £1m we paid for him was THE all time bargain

As I see things:- There were 72 EBT’s with a total value of £48m between 2001-09 HMRC sent a tax demand for £24m which was appealed. Then HMRC added a £50m penalty. seems to me it is this £50m penalty that Oldco liquidators BDO are now questioning. if they’re successful then it surely means HMRC wouldn’t have been able to block the CVA.

What was original tax owed on £48m sum total of EBT’s? And who was liable, oldco ? Players ? Both?

Looks to me we’re entering a crucial stage of oldco liquidation process regards HMRC. The total value of Rangers EBT’s was £48m. How much tax was due to be paid by oldco on this amount following the court verdict? For the past few years we’ve had all sorts of figures quoted by slabbering yahoo journalists. Most of these figures included penalties which I understand can only be applied for ‘deliberate behaviour ‘ I suspect the real figure will be around half of the £48m. And HMRC won’t have miscalculated

I highly doubt it was just one person who was responsible for all of this within HMRC. Ive always believed that there was a high level yahoo mission both within HMRC and LBG with the aim of financially destroying Rangers. We can only hope today’s news will lead to some sort of internal investigation within HMRC to allow us to get to the truth of what really went on.

The question now needs to be asked whether individuals within HMRC deliberately got the tax amount wrong for oldco. And also if there were outside influences at work. I’m no accountant or tax expert but I simply do not believe this was an unfortunate error

Squeaky bum time in the EastEnd...

And others too maybe?

The story has always been out there who was behind all of this.

James MaClean will be more remembered for refusing to wear a poppy on his shirt than he will be remembered as a footballer in years to come. Why does this piece of pond life always need to be given publicity every Remembrance Sunday ? Ignore him ??????

We need another goal before we can think about getting all 3 points

Why would SG want to start with Defoe??? It’s a must win game. Morelos is the best striker we’ve had since McCoist (not forgetting Negri’s 6 months) .

Still buzzin’ since I got home last night. The Morelos goal has to be one of THE all time great European goals. Looking at the table still think we’ll need another win from last two games to go through asI can see Porto winning their two games.

Two failed managerial appointments haven’t helped our financial situation either since 2015. MW I can sympathise with as he looked sound to begin with but Pedro was never going to work

Great performance and delighted to be in the final. Morelos is just getting better & better but we need to be realistic and understand he will eventually leave. I hope our new DoF is identifying replacements

As long as it’s only one year contracts then no problem

Yes but that cannot be expected to continue long term. The reality is since the new board arrived in 2015 we have had two failed managerial appointments which continue to cost us. However we have turned a corner & things are improving. And theDoF role is crucial. At least we now have players with saleable value whom we can sell to offset losses. We will lose Morelos & others for fees well in excess to what we paid. How they’re replaced is where the DoF kicks in. The harsh reality is that for as long as Rangers are in the SPFL we’ll need to operate the model operated by the likes of Ajax and dare I say the yahoos. Buy low sell high. As I said earlier we’ve turned a corner albeit belatedly. But now the road ahead looks much brighter.

Excellent performance & result tonight. Just hope the Barasic injury isn’t serious

Maybe when Steve Clarke gets better he’ll do that ...??

Maybe chick’s looking for a pay rise at PQ ??? Does anyone take him seriously? ???

What does it take for the yahoos to get a stadium closure or partial stadium closure? Surely now Delaney’s no longer involved with UEFA it can only be a matter of time

Not so brave now are they.....
