the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 what really gets me is that this was utterly unnecessary. no need what so ever for us to be in liquidation. indeed if you read hmrc reasons for rejecting its clear if the right people owned us over the last year a cva would have been possible if the big tax case went against us. we've been conned and abused. the trouble is just as it was when whyte took over its been horrible knowing what was coming and facing nothing but abuse just for saying it. not on her in fairness. I hope people can learn that just because its bad news it isn't a lie. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I fail to see how anyone could have come in and done a "proper job" at Rangers in the last year without losing something like £30m of their own money. As it is, Ticketus have lost about £16m and HMRC have lost an extra £14m. They've taken the hit instead. Who would do that? The answer is no-one - the proof was in the eating when we were up for sale. Whyte did what he did so that he couldn't lose a penny and in fact probably made a few bob. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amms 0 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I've no desire to get involved in personality clashes but to have a go at another Rangers fan today of all days because he's stating how he feels is out of order. If you disagree with Gunslinger ignore him today isn't the day for pettiness, a big bit of our club died today for a lot of Rangers supporters. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guardian Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I just tell anything that praises TBK and slates the opposition the fact the truth is depressing right now isn't my fault, but I'll have a good old revel in it. I could, and always do, kid on everything's fine with TBK even tho I see no value in it. if nothing else you can't say you were surprised today and that's good. Good job TBK didn't get in. They had absolutely no Plan B for when their CVA failed. They'd have stood back again and let HMRC destroy whats left. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the big tax case..... That was always the big unknown for any potential owners, regardless of how much money they put in, they could have lost it all if the result goes against us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
