    Looks like you're not going to do too badly out of it anyway Mick! Maybe you should start reading Nostradamus for yourself. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    The story of Rangers' insolvency is already becoming a fireside tale told mostly by those who were not there. Trampled down in the rush of journalists claiming that "of course, I knew all along, but I just could not say anything" are all of the derisive newspaper articles and radio call-in panellists dismissing the risks Rangers were facing. I am in no doubt: Scotland's media, sports and business desks alike, are complicit in the disaster than has befallen Rangers. They killed their golden goose.

    <ok>

    Great article

    I've never actually followed the blog - I have far better things to do with my life than read forensic analysis of a rival football clubs finances - so I've no idea how accurate or otherwise he/she has been. And whilst I agree with the jist of his argument that the traditional press has been shown to be completely useless, I have to say I find the tone of that Guardian article unbearably smug.

    &#8220;There is nothing unusual in that as it is always employees who set the schedule basis for tax and there was no great gain for the players.&#8221;

    This guy does not think paying a rate of tax at £12% is any "great gain" over paying 40% Tax? <laugh>

    He does not sound very wise at all.

    I've read it now and again and more or less everything he has said has been proven to have been true, he does come across as a bit smug but I cut him slack having seen the hard time the Red Tops have given him. I think I would probably crow a bit too if I were him.

    Exactly.

    Some of them pretended they hadn't even heard of the blog as receently as 2 weeks ago, he has every right to get it up them a bit.
