If Smith returns any pretense as to Ally being a manager will be killed stone dead.

The court was today informed that ticketus had reserved its position to pursue the liquidators for their wedge. Many appear to think things have been settled because the admin was signed off, the reality is that they are only just beginning and the final outcome will depend on the liquidators investigations and decisions taken on that or those investigations.

You could and may be in for a surprise with regard to ticketus and their reserving of their options, as for the rest the liquidators will either uncover wrongdoing or they won't, of course it could depend on how hard they look.

I doubt very much there was any conspiracy, just people who knew and know how to stay on the right side of the law if only just, it happens every day and will continue to do so. Fred the shred is still walking the streets.

It will be interesting to see if the liquidators find any impropriety in any of D & P's actions.

Not at all fact is always preferable to chain pulling. The noble Lord is far from impressed by Duff & Phelps tardy late presentation of error strewn documentation, their QC Wolff is drowning in a sea of disbelieving stares from our noble Lord, is getting very interesting with ticketus having reserved their options.

It would appear that Hodge is presiding over a session that is not on the lists and looking very unimpressed with proceedings I am told. He may be forced to invoke a court order to have the bbc surrender their latest tapes to the court, which would suggest nothing being decided today.

You said he got a reply to a correspondence he sent yesterday, yet he says he didn't know Lord Hodge was allegedly sitting until after 2pm today, does he have a Tardis, emails that transcend time barriers, maybe he is pulling your chain we aren't up tomorrow.

Strange his correspondence refers to after 2pm today and is dated today 30/10/2012. He's at it isn't he ?

OK gottcha it isn't from the Court of Session, it is gds sending to the Court of Session and he is awaiting a reply .

You would be correct there, honour and business being anathemas, a bit like bankers and robbers both the same thing.

When do we get to see the official Court of Session email/doc contacting GDS, is there one ?

No I am not as precious as to be so definitive. "It wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference".

You left out in your opinion.

I don't recall saying it would have made murray do anything, but it would have been honourable and would have laid the collective report out in public for the fans to see, they didn't and no amount of excuses will cover that error of judgement.

Good to see that you realise they didn't do the honourable thing by resigning and showing the report to the world and the fans, like I said honour and business just don't mix.

I nearly laughed opposed the takeover, who opposed it ? keep an eye on Whyte that was opposing it, you are right on one thing all they were interested in was hanging on to the tie and blazer.

I would say it would have resulted in all the right questions being asked of Whyte, rather than inventing his wealth of the radar status, plenty of people had him sussed from his boiler room ops at MHG to his asset stripping and non payment of debts, plus his corporate office in Bath Street that looked more like a Janny's cupboard. Honour and business just don't mix.

THERE has been growing speculation recently that an announcement from the First Tier Tax tribunal is imminent. The Club has no knowledge of when such an announcement will be made. However, the Club as it now stands as part of The Rangers Football Club Ltd. has been informed by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs that any decision by the First Tier Tax Tribunal will not affect the operations of The Rangers Football Club Ltd. This tax liability which is under consideration by the Tribunal is historic and was a matter for The Rangers Football Club plc ('oldco') which is in administration and will be subject to liquidation in due course. The Rangers Football Club Ltd. is a corporate entity formed following the acquisition in June this year by a consortium led by Charles Green of the business and assets of Rangers, including the Club and its honours. Unpaid tax liabilities led to the demise of 'oldco' and the EBT arrangements were part of 'oldco's' liabilities. As HMRC stated in June when they decided to vote against the proposed oldco CVA, no tax liabilities relating to 'oldco' would transfer across to the new company. HMRC have recently reaffirmed this position to the Club's tax advisers, Deloitte. The Rangers Football Club Ltd. is a company free of external debt and all liabilities relating to 'oldco' are a matter for the administrators. The impending decision of the First Tier Tax Tribunal once again calls into question the validity of the SPL Commission into the use of EBTs. They are clearly a matter for the old company and The Rangers Football Club is trying to rebuild as a great sporting institution. http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/2515-statement-on-tax-tribunal ETA It is quite possible there may never be an announcement regards this case, HMRC have already stated that the club is not their target, individuals are.

I am beginning to wonder why old news like this has been dragged up again by the daily rheb, it couldn't possibly be the rhebs sports editor jabba showing us all how lucky we are that Green rescued us and by doing so ingratiating himself even further with Green, with a share issue allegedly looming ?

That should definitely qualify him, seems to be a favourite of the STV stable from what I have heard.

More than a rumour that Dingwall is already measured for the blazer ? heard it from a production mate at STV.

Pretty old news was reported by the Scotsman April/may time, which is why many asked why the board did not resign in their entirety after seeing the report. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&ved=0CFYQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scotsman.com%2Fscotland-on-sunday%2Fsport%2Frangers-takeover-powerbrokers-left-with-nowhere-to-hide-by-damning-report-1-2292023&ei=18iPUMnvLOuz0QXN9oDYDQ&usg=AFQjCNEOPVoR9OW36Il9h0-AZeb3qlPzTw&sig2=qAEUeiYt4XfPTywWj9MoWw

Murray also used the divide and conquer ploy.

We have three amigos playing at being coaches, that is the extent of their philosophy lump it up the park.
