Ungrateful bastards

There was scope to suspend or remove your club from the SPL entirely

Instead, a club that can not make signings as it has no money is stopped from making signings for a year

"Get the crayons oot"

"We deserve to know who ate the crayons"

Keep it up <laugh>

Rangers didn't pay VAT - not Whyte.

Amongst those who fall under individual corporate responsibility for this are Messrs Bain, McLelland and Greig.

So Bain, McLelland and Greig all knew Whyte wasn't paying PAYE & VAT?

The fact of the matter is we are being banned from signing players because of him not paying the PAYE & VAT and therefore entering Rangers into administration.

&#8220;The Disciplinary Tribunal was correct to determine that the conduct involved &#8211; especially the deliberate non-payment of very large sums, estimated in excess of £13m of tax in the form of PAYE, NIC and VAT &#8211; was attributable to the club as a member of the Scottish FA.&#8221;

Now, remember what it was that the tribunal determined? That key named directors at Rangers at that time: John McClelland, John Greig, David King, Ken Olverman and Martin Bain had to have known what was going on and did nothing about it.

Yes. The embargo was specifically for bringing the game into disrepute. A club could go into admin without bringing the game into disrepute and only get the 10 point deduction.

Yes I know that but effectively Whyte not paying that money sent us into it. I accept that the punishment for entering admin (10 point deduction & fine) is suitable but the 12 month ban is a joke.

Here's an extract from Alex Thomson's comment on it

So no, nobody should be surprised that against that threat, Rangers are merely banned from buying new talent for a year. A year in which they&#8217;re already banned from Europe as all prospective buyers are aware. Mr Green and The twenty mysterons of his consortium obviously knew all about this and can thus only be relieved there&#8217;s still a club to buy.
The second critical fact here is again, the appeal tribunal goes out of its way to hold the club responsible for massive tax fraud &#8211; not simply the former owner Craig Whyte. The &#8220;club&#8221; in law is its chairman and board of directors of the plc. Look carefully at their wording:
&#8220;The Disciplinary Tribunal was correct to determine that the conduct involved &#8211; especially the deliberate non-payment of very large sums, estimated in excess of £13m of tax in the form of PAYE, NIC and VAT &#8211; was attributable to the club as a member of the Scottish FA.&#8221;
Now, remember what it was that the tribunal determined? That key named directors at Rangers at that time: John McClelland, John Greig, David King, Ken Olverman and Martin Bain (he of the shredded contracts as revealed by C4 News) had to have known what was going on and did nothing about it.
This was the &#8216;club&#8217; in law. The directors. These men of Rangers who walked away from Rangers.
Since what was going on was &#8216;deliberate non payment&#8217; income tax, national insurance and VAT to the value of £13m it is reasonable to ask whether these men, along with Mr Whyte, are now going to face a police investigation for possible fraud. I shall be making inquiries from first thing.
Quite possibly they are innocent men, shut out from what was happening by the ever-increasingly-absent Craig Whyte. Though the tribunal has already stated they must have known something very wrong was happening at Ibrox, yet chose to do little or nothing about it.
Mr Whyte is accused by an eminent legal tribunal of directly masterminding a deliberate non-payment of tax. But the whole point here is that tribunal first and now appelate tribunal explicitly hold the &#8216;club&#8217; (the directors) responsible for this joint enterprise of non-payment. They do not just blame Craig Whyte.

If paying PAYE was the responsibility of one man, how far do you all want to go with this?

Did David Murray win 9 in a row or was it Rangers?

One of the "disrepute" charges includes the fact that Rangers allowed Whyte to take control and sold the shares to him.

Did he sell them to himself?

Bollox. The owner is in ultimate charge of paying all known debts. Bain wasn't there, and McLelland and Greig were away soon after.

This is the same **** who didn't pay anyone, not even Contractors/Newsagents etc. But he left the VAT up to Bain who had left in May?
