RANGERRAB

Why ? Is his criticism of PC wrong?

Despite what some may say, I don't think the title stripping in 2012 was ever going to happen.Removing honours could easily have led to sponsors & TV companies(having paid in large sums) taking legal action against the Scottish football authorities. I disagree with ur statement about not paying tax debt. We got put in SFL3 because the then SPL wouldn't allow us to transfer our SPL share from oldco to newco following the CVA rejection. The tax debt was Whyte not paying PAYE/NI at the time. It wasn't EBT-related which is what the current hysteria is about and I believe what it was mostly about in 2012. But it's outcome was unknown then But what we're now dealing with is individuals & supporters groups who were led to believe back in 2012 that had Rangers lost the BTC then titles stripping would take place. These people never considered the legal aspects of EBT's which Lord Hodge laid bare last week. They were not illegal. So how they now proceed in their title stripping remains to be seen. The likes of LIewell, Milne & Thompson may well have some explaining to do to appease their slabbering, Rangers-hating hordes.

Doesn't matter what they think. Anyone in any doubt should read or listen to what Lord Hodge said on Wednesday. Quite clear to me what their chances would be of removing our trophies won. A big fat NIL

They could but why bother when the SFA clearly wouldn't support them after their statement on wednesday

The SPFL couldn't afford an expensive legal battle. They don't have the funds to do so.

Won't be easy. The LC starts soon

I think that original tax bill may get disputed by BDO now

How can HMRC add penalties for something they only learned last Wednesday they were entitled to

Wouldn't read too much into this. None of these players will be anywhere near the first team any time soon.

They did, of course, pay the tax on Juninho's EBT ( after he left was it not ?) Just as BDO are now going to do. And can someone may enlighten me here but did BDO not at one time question the amount of tax due on our EBT's and that is was nowhere near the figures being quoted in the mhedia?

My own view of PC so far is he seems to have ideas & ambitions well beyond his own abilities as a manager

Can Spiers and his fellow pondlife explain how the use of EBT's was cheating if they were considered legal by Lord Hodge? I think this formed the basis of the SFA statement released later in the day on Tuesday.

Who applied who had a better cv?

The persons who are responsible are the ones who appoint the manager I.e. the board. What we've got now though is a D of F who was appointed after the manager got appointed which I think is wrong

But does Desmond's involvement with this bank mean he's a F&PP as per the SFA's rules ? Yahoos who question King should look closer to home IMO

Don't think it's possible

Caixinha was correct when he decided the squad needed a complete overhaul after last season. But that overhaul needed to be completed before the ELQ's. But it wasn't. It should have been.

The yahoos put out that statement the other day in attempt to shift the blame onto the SPFL.

The bit I don't get is that if they were legal tax avoidance schemes why does oldco owe tax on them?

Hay should ask his own club about the special banking arrangements his club had with the co-op bank. Ultra soft loans & overdrafts

So did Whyte actually save Rangers after all ( whether intentionally or not) ? The club and its assets had to be taken out the oldco & transferred to a newco before the BTC bill landed. Whyte did that albeit by dubious means so did he effectively save Rangers ?

Must be difficult for the likes of Thomson, Cosgrove, Spence etc. They were desperately hoping the BTC would finish us.It didn't. We survived intact with our history. I feel their pain......

It is hilarious to read some of the forums in the media. The moon howlers are out in force. They're adamant honours must be removed. These people have been conned by the likes of liewell but haven't the intellect to realise. Just sit back & watch. Should be great entertainment

The likes of Liewell and others have misled deluded individuals to believe if we lost the BTC then titles & trophies would be removed from us. But they knew that removal of honours wasn't going to happen and were probably privately hoping we'd win the BTC and they'd use that excuse for not doing so. Now though they have a problem on their hands. A very big problem indeed. The slabbering, Rangers-hating hordes are on the march and are very irate. They're demanding the removal of titles & trophies as promised. Yesterday's SFA statement is very clear as to what actions will now be taken -NONE. This isn't going to end well. Sit back and let's enjoy the implosion.

Pity it wasn't sooner
