There will still be people who reckon borrowing money that can't be payed back to service expensive transfers and near or above 100% of turnover player wages is the right way to run a football club.

I agree, If you're not going to win anything anyway, why spend money you don't have?Toga wrote:Brumby_in_Vic wrote:Three cheers to HMRC. Time to get out a few celebratory drinks

Re: Rangers FC really are goooooone
Good. Let that be a lesson to the rest of them
Re: Rangers FC really are goooooone
Bang out of order by HMRC - Rangers are an institution they should have accepted what was on offer and allowed Rangers to enter the agreement, the sums being talked about are piddling
Re: Rangers FC really are goooooone
Cue Alex Salmond arguing that as HMRC didn't take the same action with various English clubs that it is racist.
Are there any rugby clubs that ought to be sitting nervously as a result of that ruling?

Re: Rangers FC really are goooooone
I think the FAs in the the UK should make a ruling that VAT & tax is paid on time every month. This would help solve this issue and identify any future problems.

nothing against the law to enter into one of these agreements - if HMRC thinks anyone did something against the law let them pursue themcroyals wrote:You're right Bill - institutions shouldn't have to obey the law.Bill wrote:Bang out of order by HMRC - Rangers are an institution they should have accepted what was on offer and allowed Rangers to enter the agreement, the sums being talked about are piddling

Any chance of Celtic having done something silly in the past that could get them in trouble?

Re: Rangers FC really are goooooone
The owners of Rangers who overspent are to blame for what went wrong, not the club itself if that can be sold on and run as a going concern then it should be

Re: Rangers FC really are goooooone
I'm somewhat confused. I'm sure somebody told me that this sort of carry-on wouldn't come to pass and that it could all work out rather well for Rangers.
Oh well.
Oh well.

Between bungs, payments under the counter and kickbacks from transfer deals, it would be reasonable to assume that there is plenty of dodgy dealing going on out there.

the clamour to see Rangers disappear - its ridiculous
example - a factory up north that employs 1000 people is making losses, the owners over spend start to fall behind on their taxes suppliers are not being paid, the owners decide thats it - do you......
a) close the factory down throwing 1000 people out of work
b) sell it to new owners and keep the 1000 people working
those situations are played out in the real world all the time, and fortunately the decisions arnt made with some petty revenge in mind because the previous owners didnt pay tom dick or harry

Re: Rangers FC really are goooooone
Rangers' footballing fate will be decided by their 11 fellow SPL members. There is an SPL board meeting at Hampden on Monday to discuss the league's inquiry into alleged dual contracts at Rangers.
They could hold a vote then if a newco proposal can be put together in time. Perhaps more realistic is for the 11 clubs to vote at the AGM next month.
In recent weeks clubs have expressed the dilemma they face: Rangers' presence in the SPL brings revenue through the turnstiles and from broadcast deals, but many fans have said they will not return if "sporting integrity" is not seen to be upheld.
These supporters have been in contact with their clubs to demand that they vote against Rangers playing in the SPL next season. Their preference is for Rangers to apply to join the Scottish Football League and to start again in the Third Division.

And they're definitely out of Europe for 3 years aren't they?
Phoenix indeed.

Redknapp is as dodgy as they come. There is a reason the FA and most clubs wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Spurs want him out asap.

so what? how much of the taxpayers money was used to bail out the two Scottish basket cases HBOS and RBS?
billions not millions if I recall
in the real world some companies pay their taxes on time other companies dont - we have systems to deal with these things ffs its not as if rangers are the only company this has ever happened to
and thankfully our rules and regs concentrate on saving companies rather than destroying them and the jobs that go along with them
