RANGERRAB

Haven't claimed they would, though I firmly believe Murray personally should (fund an appeal).

Could he do this?

Agree Calscot but for Lord Drummond Young to then say “Furthermore, so far as the footballers are concerned, at least, it seems to us that if bonuses had not been paid they might well have taken their services elsewhere." to just plain shit stirring.

Did he say that? EBT's were nothing to do with bonuses

Sadly this is not how it is being reported, however.

The SFA/SPL had their chance & blew it. They should have waited til the BTC concluded

The SFA/SPL commissioned LNS to determine whether the EBT's were undisclosed contractual payments which were unfair. 'No sporting advantage' was his verdict.

HMRC'S pursuit of the MIH EBT scheme was as regards to tax liabilities on it.

Two completely separate issues

FWIW I don't think we've heard the last of this morning's totally bizarre judgement by there three clowns.

Have they been got at by politicians ? Lord Carloway is Reid's pal isn't he?

The law is an ass. How can the CoS seriously over-rule previous judgements ?

What new evidence was presented ? What was missed from previous judgements ?

Can these three bewigged buffoons tells us where the previous judgments(FTTT & UTTT) were wrong?

Or is today's judgement more to do with drawing a line under all of this to prevent the truth coming out who was behind all of this knowing RIFC 2012(i.e. BDO) not pursuing this further?

Meanwhile, the Daily Record at its finest ...

Blatant, smug-faced liars

I see our chums at the Daily Rhebel at back to calling us a new club again. Either the pseudo-journalist is daft(which may be a distinct possibility) or he is mis-using his position to underline his Rangers-hating credentials.

I've said before & I'll say it again - I do not understand how any so-called Rangers supporter, player, board member etc would want to have anything to do with this vile, Rangers-hating rhag. I despair whenever I hear of our people giving interviews with its pseudo-journos. Our board should seek an apology from this rhag & tell them they're barred from Ibrox until they do so but they probably won't.

Hopefully it's circulation will continue to fall & it won't be around for too much longer.

This must be costing a fortune this carry on?

Which is why those responsible within HMRC for wasting taxpayers money pursuing this phantom EBT tax bill must be named & shamed.

Since when did Dave King become 'Gers Boss' ????

Last I checked Mark Warburton was 'Gers Boss' and Dave King was Chairman.

Keef's not very good at this journalist thing is he?

They get a bite of the cherry at every stage of the process, sourcing, delivery, storage, distribution, sales, branding etc...etc.

 

Sports Direct has a P/E of 17.09 meaning every million they make from Rangers is worth £17.09 million to their market capitilisation and over £9m to Ashley personally.

ER............what is P/E?

How does Ashley get £9m ????

Possibly, but probably not the current SD deal.

Why not ? If it transpired SD/MASH were signing contracts with individuals who'd fraudulently acquired a business.

The directors that are being taken to court were not the ones who agreed the current retail deal, so I doubt it will have any immediate effect.

Perhaps no immediate impact but if Green & Co are convicted couldn't that open a whole can of worms regards contracts that they negotiated ?

You would have to think that if they are found guilty and convicted then all contracts would be null & void?,I'm only guessing!.

That's what I'm starting to think

How does the current/live criminal investigation against the unlawful take over of Rangers affect this contract?

And other contracts too. Is this what Ashley & others fear ? Could these contracts get annulled?

And does anyone believe you can be jailed for breaching a gagging order of this sort?

He can't be making much money out of us surely.

This is what I don't understand. He won't be making much money from Rangers. All Ashley is getting from us now is bad publicity

Combined, Templeton & Bell must be getting around £15k p.w. from Rangers.

You have to ask if that's good value. I wouldn't say so. Ideally both will be moved on ASAP

we are a championship club

we need to do better

He's talking about where we should be not where we currently are

Deila will be gone before next season when we're back in the top division.

He was a cut price appointment by the yahoos based on us appointing someone like McCall or McInnes after ditching McCoist when we were back in the top division.

But Warburton has changed all that. He has contacts and sources all over the place whereas Deila doesn't. Why did they appoint a Norwegian when most of his signings seem to come from within Scottish football ? Doesn't he have any contacts in Scandanavian football to recruit their up and coming talent? Doesn't look like it does it.

Warburton is probably only about 50 percent W.I.P with team rebuilding at Rangers and looks a good appointment already. By the time next season starts and Warburton has added more new faces to the positions which still need strengthened Rangers will be more than ready. LIewell knows that so Deila's days are numbered IMO.

If we continue to get home crowds of 40k-45k I don't think there needs to be a shares issue for just now.

And if these crowds continue will we get one million paying customers into Ibrox this season for all home games?

Do the maths. What sort of match day revenue is that for the season? £25m maybe?

We need to improve up front if we're going to get all three points on Sunday. Miller's horror show in the first half last Sunday must not be repeated

Ok agree with your point but again what do you suggest? Give the bulk of the money to us.... what does that achieve?

Maybe i am being naive but sometimes i feel we look into this to find a way to be annoyed about something which we shouldnt be annoyed about. We are the biggest club in Scotland, fact. This proves this again but I still struggle to understand another way which the distribution should be done.

According to these figures, we had 43% of the TV audience but got just 1.6% of the prize pot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone tried to run any normal business like this they'd be bust in no time. Treating your biggest customer( revenue) with utter contempt. But yet again this is Scottish Football run by Liewell & his hand-picked chums.

We deserved a far greater share of the money. That's my complaint/point

This is interesting to read but out of interest what is everyone wants out of this?

 

In my opinion we are a league down we shouldn't be getting anywhere near the biggest share. An allocation any other way makes no sense.

WHAT DO WE WANT OUT OF THIS ?

Three years ago certain clubs were trying to put us out of business altogether. These figures suggest to me (& others too maybe)that Scottish Football would struggle badly to survive without us.

And these clubs who were trying to put us out of business may care to consider the fact that Rangers are subsidising the rest of Scottish football. Something that irks me.

Nolan is an attacking midfielder. We require a defensive midfielder IMO

He will still have millions of our cash hidden. This is just to protect him from ticketus and us.

The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 should ensure that wouldn't hppen
