I watched it tonight

and couldn't help thinking about watching us every week

pass me the revolver with loaded chambers.....

Our wage to turnover ratio is 99 percent

I read richard Wilson saying it was well below 60%

so how does it figure out guys....what's our turnover and what's our wages bill ?

we couldn't expect the best players to drop divisions no matter how much we paid them. We got what we could and overpaid but as has been pointed out before, in terms of %age turnover, we're below what's normal

Dave Kings reply was on but I didn't catch it. Only the Easdales supported the King bid. I don't understand that.....if Easdales fronting for 30% of the shares, how come it wasn't accepted ?

just seen an extract from it....pretty much as Frankie described.........they are also saying Craig Whyte is arranging with the police to return and help them with their enquiries

also waiting for Dave King's reaction

Working the system is one thing, these guys (allegedly:flute:) have planned and executed a criminal conspiracy on a massive scale and complexity.

aye.....they got caught....that's the difference

Thieving, conniving, morally bankrupt, greedy fucking scumbags.

capitalists who work the system

green was whytes endgame.

it looks like it.

Wonder if they'll turn up any evidence that Green was in it from the start.............is it possible he wasn't ?

What is a qualification anyway? Look at some of the idiots who have driving licences yet should be nowhere near the road. His coaching badges mean nothing in terms of his ability, God even Durrant has them! Anyone can get them if your willing to part with the few grand It takes to get them.

I'd have thought the coaching qualification would have team tactics in its curriculum and obviously what you're saying could apply to any qualification.....there are idiots with degrees etc. Still would rather have a qualified idiot doctor than an unqualified one, if you get my meaning.

I'd like to know the date when Green and Ahmed had first contact with any of those guys

Has Ally got coaching qualifications ?

The cynic in me thinks that the SPFL takeover/merger/restructure was done to mitigate any future accountability.

I think the SPL still does exist. It was simply a name change to SPFL.

The UTT further agreed

that HMRC could appeal to the Court of Session in Scotland, despite Counsel’s arguments that

the appeal should be heard in the English Court of Appeal.

Why would HMRC prefer the court of sessions....................do they think they'll get a more sympathetic verdict ?....if so, why would they think that ?

is this usual ?

The ones who wanted a higher wage should have been ignored then and players who wanted to play for us should have been signed, players who would have ran through brick walls for us. I didn't ask for SPL players, did you? I wanted guys who wanted to play for us and give 100%, we got the complete opposite. Our squad is full of mediocre mercenaries. We could have got through those bottom 2 leagues with the 6 oldco pros and our youth team. We didn't need to spend anything. We had a glorious chance and we chose to do the only thing this manager knows and spend our way out of leagues. Sign, sign, sign. We've went about this whole thing embarrassingly bad and the sad thing is, it's not even hindsight, most of us seen this coming.

 

Probably not? It's obviously not mate. Never in a million years.

we got the best who would come to us in the bottom div....can't fault Ally for that. Same as we've got the best that would come to us in the championship. The fact that Ally can't coach them into a cohesive winning team is a different story

It is alleged that David Whitehouse, Paul Clark and David Grier, who all work for former Rangers administrators Duff and Phelps and lawyer Gary Withey, who was Rangers' company secretary after the takeover, were involved in a fraudulent scheme to acquire the club.

One of the men is also accused of breaching the Companies Act, while three allegedly attempted to pervert the course of justice.

They've been charged with being part of a fraudulent scheme to buy Rangers Football Club. They will appear in court on Monday morning according to BBC

I remember that guy Di Stefano ( not the Real centre forward) saying we had been the subjects of a massive fraud

"In a further development, the Telegraph understands that while Wallace and Nash were still in their posts, documents related to the 2012 share issue were passed to the Serious Fraud Office for investigation. The SFO had no comment to make last night."

 

Roddy Forsyth in the Telegraph

Seemingly passed to the SFO between January and October this year.

is that saying Wallace and Nash passed the info to the polis ?

HMRC's role in this is incomprehensible,

they've been knocked back twice at tribunals but persist.

It was their erroneous claim hanging over us that that made Murray throw us to the wolves

could the sale by the administrators to Green be under investigation ? It always struck me that Sevco 5088 got first choice which excluded subsequent bids. but of course we were sold to Sevco Scotland, a different company

How many times must Lee Wallace have to tell people he's not going down south.....so why have cover for a player who is not going anywhere ?

I see Cheshire police were involved. Was one of the money groups not based in Manchester....Zuess Capital or something

It's still a great deal for rangers and we don't know if Ashley intends to or can invest the sums we require.

 

He may well tie up his onerous contracts tight then leave the husk to rangers men to do CPR on.

that's what I fear.

Dave King said on the radio Ashley's loan was not the end of his bid at the time.....so there's nothing new there

And RM goes into meltdown in 5,4,3,2,1 boom

no doubt "young Will and his erudite pen" will have something to say about this.......

The person we owe the money too will be underwriting the share issue, how does that work?

he'll get shares in lieu of the money (which we obviously can't pay back
