RANGERRAB

Get our own people working for us please. We've already had the IRA supporting chef at MP.

and they're not exactly ecstatic at the moment about this are they ? SPL have too big a slice of the cake based on viewing figures

don't think so. When Liewell & Doncaster went hand in hand to London to talk to SKY all they got was a reduced deal for this season which would be reviewed at the end of this season. No figures have ever been officially released have they? What this means presumably is SKY would need to take into account SPL viewing figures for this season for any future deal. SKY's SPL viewing figures this season aint been great have they ? don't forget according to young McMURDO'S blog the other day) SKY have already had talks with CG regards league reconstruction. Why would they do that I wonder?

if they (the SPL diddy teams) think this is bad wait til CG refuses to sign a new TV deal for next season. I actually think this proves he means business with them & they know it now

Let's see if the chase the SFA & SPL for old co's monies due i.e. Davis transfer fee and last season's prize money. Should be interesting times ahead if they do.

when HMRC chose us as their testcase was always rumoured they'd chosen wrong one. FTTT outcome seemed to vindicate that. Interesting what happens now. They need grounds for an appeal before they'd get permission to appeal. They could just as easily be refused permission.

Without the rest there is no Scottish Football. Maybe that's Liewell's aim so as to try & get into English football. However the English would never let them near their leagues. Everyone now knows they represent hardcore Irish Republicanism in its worst form. Even the real Irish know this as well.

Hate to say it but this is where we need to build bridges with SPL clubs to isolate Lawwell & his merry gang. If we can convince the clubs the SPL isn't the answer then the likes of Celtic, Hibs, Dundee Utd & Aberdeen will be left with their own 4-team league

what about the rest ? all doing well financially ? next season really could be the armageddon if CG sticks to his guns & refuses to sign any new SKY TV deal and SPL don't replace a sponsor like CB.

has to be point of law as I understand. The lawyers rejected it (presumably from a legal perspective) Poon is , I believe, a tax accountant who would have us all believe everything & anything is taxable.

reduced TV income ? there might be no meaningful TV income . Even CBeebies wouldn't touch the SPL the way things are going

In any court of law you need a basis for an appeal. My understanding is that HMRC need a point of law for a basis of an appeal. What that is remains to be seen. You cannot simply appeal just because you don't like the verdict (well you can but it will be thrown out).

This £12m will only grow & grow. If CG sticks to his guns & refuses to sign the SKY TV deal for next season that will blow a massive hole in the finances of the wee diddy SPL clubs. Without Rangers there's little to interst SKY in Scottish football. Also have they replaced the CB sponsorship yet? These clubs are being led down the path to oblivion. Can't they see what's coming for them?

It is imperative that this game is boycotted. We must stand up & show these people we mean what we say. I do not think we have a squad capable of going all the way in the Scottish Cup and will not have until we can add to squad so that may be another reason to consider boycotting.

Come on Mr Traynor spill the beanz............ tell us everything about everyone. Should make interesting reading

Wonder if SPL have consulted SKY about their proposals. Or got a new sponsor to replace CB. Probably not I'd think & financial KO's will result without us especially when CG refuses to sign any new SKY deal. They'll soon realise this

is it just me or when did we last see Doncaster or Regan on television or being interviewed in a national newspaper? and is Vincent Lunny still there too? last season these three were never far from the limelight. Hope they're all OK.....................................not

Nothing wrong with puma IMO

That's about as near to acceptance as we'll get I think........

He was forced to sell. AJ confirmed this. But by whom & for what reason(s) ?

has the SPL run up a £1m legal bill with Harper McLeod as a result of its corrupt commission chasing us over these EBT's ? does anyone know? wouldn't have thought it would be able to afford that bill.

In all of this the question that needs answered is how Whyte managed to get the club in the first place. Don't believe SDM was duped. All roads leads to LBG & the two bhoys in charge of its Scottish business division at the time. Was SDM blackmailed into selling to Whyte ? If so by whom ? Whyte was an accident waiting to happen. His colourful business history was well known. It was in the Daily Telegraph on the day he got Rangers - long before Daly's documentary in Oct2011 about him where Regan claims he first learned about it

As I understand things,the SPL commision is to determine whether or not these EBT's were a second undeclared contract for players. Last week's FTTT verdict meant these EBT's were not considered contractual ( & not liable to taxation) therefore not considered as contracts. I would have thought that even someone as bitter as Tom English might even have understood that.

surely HMRC must be required to have a basis for an appeal. In any normal court of law an appeal requires new evidence or something which has been missed or overlooked. you cannot simply appeal because you don't like the verdict

I'll say it again & again. Over 5,000 UK companies used EBT's til they were abolished late 2010. There was nothing illegal about them if used properly. They were tax avoidance schemes and tax avoidance is legal (tax evasion isn't). Some people have great difficulty accepting this regards Rangers due to the mhedia frenzy instigated by the usual suspects.
