i think it's fair enough for them to get the money from the spl. If this is theirs then the debts built up are also theirs and can be paid back. seems like a fair deal
Did chico admit that it was indeed Craig Whyte that introduced him to D&P? more lies than tam pepper Also when he said he was working unpaid since february, well chico you were nothing to do with rangers until June so why would they pay you from feb? Perhaps it is because you operated Sevco Scotland since Feb and not rangers.
Fantastic news for Hector today and all the creditors of Rangers. The zombies have released a statement saying they bought the club from Rangers. Quite why this wasn't recorded in the final report to the creditors is anyones guess but hey ho...alls well that ends well. THERE has been growing speculation recently that an announcement from the First Tier Tax tribunal is imminent. The Club has no knowledge of when such an announcement will be made. However, the Club as it now stands as part of The Rangers Football Club Ltd. has been informed by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs that any decision by the First Tier Tax Tribunal will not affect the operations of The Rangers Football Club Ltd. This tax liability which is under consideration by the Tribunal is historic and was a matter for The Rangers Football Club plc ('oldco') which is in administration and will be subject to liquidation in due course. The Rangers Football Club Ltd. is a corporate entity formed following the acquisition in June this year by a consortium led by Charles Green of the business and assets of Rangers, including the Club and its honours. Unpaid tax liabilities led to the demise of 'oldco' and the EBT arrangements were part of 'oldco's' liabilities. As HMRC stated in June when they decided to vote against the proposed oldco CVA, no tax liabilities relating to 'oldco' would transfer across to the new company. HMRC have recently reaffirmed this position to the Club's tax advisers, Deloitte. The Rangers Football Club Ltd. is a company free of external debt and all liabilities relating to 'oldco' are a matter for the administrators. The impending decision of the First Tier Tax Tribunal once again calls into question the validity of the SPL Commission into the use of EBTs. They are clearly a matter for the old company and The Rangers Football Club is trying to rebuild as a great sporting institution http://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/2515-statement-on-tax-tribunal Of course all that could be bullshit.
chico strikes again http://www.scotsman.com/sport/footb...-claim-they-want-rangers-in-england-1-2641708
Is he for real? He said: âWhat we understand is that any restructuring will also revisit the taboo. A bit like, âDonât talk about the war to the Germansâ. âDonât mention Rangers and Celtic leaving Scotlandâ. It was always âShhh donât mention thatâ. âI think the taboo of that is going to be lifted. Scottish football without Rangers and Celtic might actually become more competitive within the remaining clubs rather than having these two monsters sat above them.â We've talked about nothing else for years and, no I don't want to leave. Yes it would mean we would get finances to compete for a European cup but it would also mean, at times, we could be a mid table team just going through the motions. Plus that premiership bores the pants of me, all hype and no substance.

I used to think that Tom English was a **** - but I like him more now that he is telling me things that I want to hear.
When all his lies are put together like that you would wonder how any bear still backs him, most of them do though.
Pah, Tom English is nothing but a Rangers Hating bigot, he's going on the list along with VespaBar and the rest.
Glasgow Rangers are bigger than any Premier League club apart from Manchester United. Arsenal lack their fan base and global stature. Barcelona and Real Madrid, driving forces of a sport destined to be shaped by satellite TV viewers in the developing world, would welcome the Old Firm to La Liga. There is a tiresome familiarity about the bombast of the Rangers chief executive, Charles Green, a man with an unimpressive past hawking an uncertain future. At times, his sales pitch for the shadow club's forthcoming share issue sounded as if it had been conceived during a particularly hectic happy hour on Sauchiehall Street. United, with admirable comic timing, immediately rejected his claim that they favoured Rangers' installation in the Premier League. Other supposed allies – unidentified "big clubs" – spurned invitations to break cover. By contrast, Peter Lawwell, Green's counterpart at Celtic, appeared a little too desperate to join the debate when he refused to commit his club, long term, to Scottish football. Follow, follow, indeed. After being condemned as a "hatchet man" and walking away from the wreckage of Sheffield United, Green's career was as a journeyman businessman. Suddenly, like many of his species, he claims a football club "is much more than a business opportunity" to him. He will not leave Ibrox until it echoes with the Champions' League anthem. Inevitably, the business plan is dependent upon its delusions of grandeur being funded by fans, who are expected to contribute £21 million to Rangers' flotation on the AIM market. There's enduring loyalty to the brand even if, officially, it no longer exists. The old Rangers, whose heritage Green is so eager to embrace and exploit, retain an emotional pull, despite leaving an unpaid tax bill of nearly £100m. The return of Walter Smith as a director cannily allows everyone to bask in the reflected glory of his 10 League titles as manager. Green, to be frank, comes across as smug, materialistic and covetous. He may very well have found his niche. The Premier League was founded on greed. Its global success is a celebration of avarice. Its spin doctors have been busy briefing chief executive Richard Scudamore's opposition to the Old Firm's adoption, but it is wise never to say never. Scudamore, whose achievement in pushing TV rights income beyond £5 billion is regarded as stellar, even by his enemies. His legacy is assured. Premier League club owners are as difficult to herd as goldfish, but they have unanimity of purpose when it comes to making money. It is telling that the sudden interest in financial fair play has coincided with the realisation that the TV windfall is likely further to enrich players and agents. It is equally revealing that their refusal to reach a consensus is a consequence of individual circumstance. Self-interest is paramount. The Old Firm are not big clubs in a competitive sense, but they have significant economic impact. There are two ways they can be accommodated in a reconstituted Premier League. The simple solution, co-opting Celtic and Rangers, is inconvenient because the extra fixtures would expose the myth that the PL is committed to the welfare of the England team. The alternative, tossing the Wigans of this world aside in a breakaway, has powerful precedent. The PL's ambition is limitless. Its influence grows by stealth. It has cleverly corporatised community projects, and annexed youth football through the ill-conceived Elite Player Performance Plan. It is only a matter of time before it seizes strategic control of coaching from the FA. As bizarre as it seems, Green's vision is golden. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...mier-league-as-a-friend-in-greed-8326419.html
Mind you, the instant he writes anything vaguely positive about them or negative about us, he'll be back in my list of succulent-lamb-munching, lying, sevcophantic knobheads who should be banned from writing
from the comments VastraGoth 9:52 AM on 18/11/2012 At least Rangers don't round up disabled Thai kids & teach them to mimic Celtic songs without knowing WTF they were singing to increase their fanbase. Or were they brought over to find their fathers? Didn't Celtic have a chinese player - great idea to expand strip sales in copying central of the world. Japan didn't work - especially when they signed a South Korean who pawed the air like monkey in insult to Japanese then blamed Scottish supporters for his racism. Although I get the point that Green is trying too hard to sell the IPO.
Green makes a laughing stock of everyone that has ever stood or will ever stand in Ibrox. Nobody not even bomber Brown could have made as big an idiot of themselves or their months old club. Surely a raving lunatic cannot be seen to be a fit and proper person to control even Sevco. At some time in the next twelve months if they have survived, Sevco will be called before the ruling body to explain , how they have an unfit and improper person in charge, they would have been expected to learn from the dead Rangers the need to be careful of having a proper person in charge.
I saw this on Twitter this morning. Honestly, get yer giggling pants on cos some of this is showstopping lubrification of glass via a tongue http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=242189
Roll back 12 months or so and English had a similar column about Whyte. The comments on that thread are probably identical to what they were a year ago. "Taigy journalist", "What do you expect from an Earl?", "Why doesn't he say anything about Liewell?" etc. Of all the football fans in all the world you would think Rangers fans would be the most likely to take seriously any and all criticism aimed at an "owner" hellbent on making money out of their club, at any cost. The fact that they have learnt NOTHING from previous experience just shows that they are among the stupidest people on earth.
The argument on the second page is a belter Some sensible one says "erm, but Green did say all this **** about Adidas" and provides the link to the Daily Record piece with Chuckles saying the deal would be done within a week (in September) Response: I think this guy is the bold Bomber Broon (having been "swayed"* by Green) Show us the minutes!!! * When I say swayed, of course, this will change to "duped" in about a year's time
