rbr

Your post has been put up on ££ , I wonder how long it will last , the truth hurts the fat controller , he doesn't like it when he gets critiscized

Brahim , have you read the threads on ££ about Ticketus , Dingwall has his lackies out in force , it's either the Blue Knights and Ticketus or Luiquidation there are no other options according to the fat controller . He is stating as fact that they own these tickets , when every one else is arguing that there is a massive legal challenge to this . Threads are getting chopped left right and center that are attempting to ask serious questions of this group.

it doesnt I was just having a rant lol

One think that should come ouit of this is the end of the "Old Firm " , never again should we work in partnership with those bastards

Thats a massive " maybe " db , cant see it but in this mes you never know , we might even have HMRC as a shirt sponsor lol

It,s all very very strange , I would have thought the Blue Knights would have stayed well clear

Who was the person who initially came forward with the EBT scheme as a realistic way of paying players , who did they work for and why did Rangers fc pay MIH £500,000 pa for legal and tax advice

Why as stated above is PaulMurray even talking with them then , it just gets more confusing by the hour

Why when every penny is a prisoner would any takeover group involve Ticketus , leave that mess to the administrators ,it just sounds like desperation from Paul Murray , this whole thing is getting messier by the day , there are so called "Blue Knights" falling out as some wanted the club in liquidation ,strange but true , so as to maximise their investments , this whole Blue Knights group really worries me , mind you after SDM and CW ..........surely not again

I understand that Mazza but you would get much better players on Bosmans than some of those I mentioned for a LOT less than £20 million , plus we need to reduce the squad size wage bill anyway moving forward , Paul Murray only ever talks about spending money , even before his entire plan was to borrow a further £25 million

I dont see where PaulMurray gets spending £20-£30 Million on players that would probably be getting released anyway , Broadfoot , Alexander ,Little ,Papac etc etc

On their facebook page , they state after filtering out some of the idiots , the pledges stand at £4.1 million from 4660 people , I would argue that that is a very high percentage and that the true figure if needed would be much lower , even though I Initially pledged I can afford it , there will be a percentage who definetly cannot

Pledge made , 566 so far

The BBC also commenteted , in that they had received a writ but were standing by their reports

Now your talking , but surely to god Bain cannot be getting any consideration

This was one of the things that always messed us up , SDM always used the quote " we need european football 3 out of every 5 just to break even " its no wonder we are in such a mess

covered yesterday mate no harm to you , but yet more un named sources , only muddies the waters even more

If these Paul Murray rumours are true that Bain is involved , he should be publicly shot.....hypothetically of course

Considering we are possibly be going to announce job cuts , I'm sorry but this should be a no goer , the leagues lost , we wont have europe next year , why waste £7500 a week on Cousin

I love Andy Smillie , just for the way he shut up 4 priests a few years ago on snyde , pure class

Govanallan , has an even better one on his phone , get it posted big guy , and many thanks for yesterday

Rangers administration: Key witness says Rangers can still win £50m tax case By ANDREW SMITH Published on Sunday 19 February 2012 00:00 A KEY witness at Rangersâ?? tax tribunal over the use of Employee Benefit Trusts (EBTs) has told Scotland on Sunday he believes the club can still win the case that could otherwise land them a bill for more than £50 million from Her Majestyâ??s Revenue and Customs. The source, who asked not to be named with a judgment still possibly two weeks away, called into question owner Craig Whyteâ??s implication of the so-called â??big tax caseâ? in the Ibrox clubâ??s plunge into administration last week. HMRC insisted that the reason was a further £9m in unpaid tax accrued since Whyte took over the club last May. â??Until a fortnight ago, it was widely reported that Rangersâ?? chances of winning the tribunal were 50-50, now it is said they will lose,â? the source said. â??Yet nothing can have changed in that intervening period, with the tribunal ending last month [18 January]. It has been said Whyte must have got wind of the outcome ahead of the club being placed in administration, but he canâ??t have done so. The opinion of the judges must remain strictly confidential until they make public their decision. If Rangers won the EBT case, their future should have been secure. Now it wonâ??t be and, in that scenario, serious questions must be asked of Whyte.â? The source says there are â??mythsâ? about how EBTs were administered when Sir David Murray owned Rangers, and that HMRC made â??no headwayâ? in convincing the three judges who will decide if these were operated in a manner that changed them from a legal tax avoidance loophole to a tax evasion scheme. EBTs are believed to have been run by around 5,000 businesses in the UK, including football clubs south of the Border. They became illegal in December 2010 but, until then, firms had been able to exploit the tax laws to provide sums to employees without PAYE or National Insurance as long as these were in the form of discretionary, repayable loans. At the tax tribunal, HMRC argued Rangersâ?? use of them for nine years was, in fact, a way to help mostly foreign players evade tax on salaries and bonuses. The source, who is not connected to Rangers but had clients who benefited from EBTs, claims that this entirely misrepresents the scheme in operation at Ibrox. â??It was totally and absolutely correctly administered, and the club met all their legal responsibilities and complied with all tax laws,â? said the source. â??They took advice from top-notch lawyers and a whole battalion of the best accountants on a global level. â??I have read a lot that isnâ??t true about how Rangers were supposed to have misused them. They werenâ??t written into the playersâ?? contracts of employment. They were totally separate. Money in any EBTs was not a salary sacrifice. The EBTs were independently administered offshore in Guernsey. I have heard it said that players had letters stating they did not have to pay these loans back. The tax commission hammered away at that but made no headway because these letters categorically do not exist.â? The Rangers Tax Case blog, which has covered the situation exhaustively for almost two years, claimed the â??smoking gunâ? for HMRC was a number of letters indemnifying players from any future tax liabilities on money placed in their EBTs. The source insisted: â??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.â? But the source also admitted: â??The very slight weakness is that the administrators in Guernsey werenâ??t always as diligent in their book-keeping as they should have been. Players buggered off back to Argentina, Italy and Australia and they didnâ??t keep track of these movements, as was incumbent on them. This was tightened up, though, over time.â?

As I have stated previously , you cannoy put a solvent company into administration , this has been engineered for a purpose

Told you , this is the start of the Whyte era and the beginning of a new tomorrow

your a wee star , cheers mate
