When will you thick ****s realise that Murray's misdemeanour's had no direct impact on the administration and subsequent liquidation of the company that funded Rangers. When Craig Whyte took over Rangers, we were effectively.....99% DEBT FREE..... albeit with a EBT going on in the backround. The reason that the Company that funded Rangers went under was down to Craig Whyte, he never paid anybody and raped the club for 8 months meaning we went from being solvent to completely insolvent and the Company was unable to fulfil it's obligations. Murray was a ****, but the bank along with CW ****ed Rangers, and continue to **** us, right up the arse with a hot poker covered in Tina's curdled fanny batter.
It was Murray's financial mismanagement, leading to a fallout with the bank, which forced him to sell to Whyte you ****ing banana munching ape.
Not the intellectual part of the "Interweb" though. HMRC said you owed nearly £50 million and that was a debt too far under David Murray's stewardship. Craig Whyte definitely accelerated the demise of the club, granted, but the fact remains that Rangers would have been liquidated anyway. Because of the voodoo economics applied by David Murray. I dare you to come back with an argument about how the big tax case was never resolved before liquidation. By the way, how will you feel when Rangers are stripped of all their titles since they started using EBT's?
W(s)hyte bought Rangers and cleared the "debt". this time last year, we were winning the Balance Sheet Vase, only for him to pillage the club. Murray "indirectly" can be blamed, but the bank forced him to sell Rangers, of that I'm sure.
I was liquidated last year. I saw the aged debtors list, there was one guy claiming that I owed him £63k even though (i) We never agreed a price before the works started. (ii) The work he did do was ****e. (iii) I got one of his competitors to price it and they said that their sale value to me would have been a third of what he was charging. The point is that of course HMRC's "debt" would revert back to the assumption that the EBT would have found in their favour. That's how it works. Whether that scenario ever came to pass..... we'll never know. As for being stripped titles, meh...
you thick ****in **** you took the bait - if HMRC says you owe them money then you owe them money. You can go to court and dispute the matter but until a judge overrules the taxman the debt still exists. It's not just some hypothetical bill from a dodgy tradesman As for being stripped of titles - the SFA has already looked at documentation surrounding the use of EBT's at Rangers and decided there is a case to answer. The jury is still out but it's not looking good for the oldco. And all those five star tattoos that will have to be removed too
<pedantic-mode-on> The EBT's are not really the issue. It's the dual contracts. That is in breach of association rules. <pedantic-mode-off>
