Reconstruction? LOL We started with 12-10-10-10. We reconstructed to 12-10-10-10. Scottish football - you couldn't make it up. Oh I nearly forgot - they renamed it SPFL and stole the premiership, championship, league1 & league2 names from down south
-
Grahame calling Rangers a 'new club' again I see. If we had a board worthy of name they'd take legal action
-
Don't you think it was the SPL chairmen who voted us out the SPL who should now be asked questions? They should be asked why they arrived at that decision. Rangers were the victim of a crime. We all know the real reason though don't we? They thought we had debts of £135m largely based on the BTC whose verdict was unknown at that time.
-
Who else then ?????
-
But why were LBG so keen to sell Rangers? Surely MIH were the bigger problem. Rangers debt was around 3 percent of the MIH. If you ran a small and someone owed you £2k and another owed you £75k which one would you concentrate most on getting? As I understand things the police investigation into the sale to Whyte is still ongoing?
-
Just how much Muir was involved is another question which needs answered. And did he benefit financially from this sale? Remember too though he was not an employee of LBG and may not ultimately have been responsible for the decision to sell to Whyte. It was however LBG who insisted he be on the Rangers board with the aim of debt reduction
-
I know of a certain other club in the same city who have/had a similar business model but I don't/didn't see their bank doing likewise.How much are they in debt to the co-op bank via overdrafts and soft loans? Rangers debts were falling year on year with AJ as chairman. Costs were being reduced. Again, I ask did LBG force SDM to sell to Whyte and for what reason ? Are LBG seriously telling us they thought this a good piece of business given Whyte's business history which seemed to be well known about at the time of the sale? And let's not forget the bigger picture here which was MIH's £750m debt. Why were the bank so focused on the much smaller Rangers debt of £18m ?
-
How can you be so sure he wasn't involved? Did he tell you himself? I want to know if LBG forced SDM to sell to Whyte and for what reason.
-
Whilst I might not always agree with criticisms of SDM and the current board I can understand at times why individuals form these opinions. Regards Whyte the only question I want answered is how the hell he got Rangers in the first place. Despite warnings from just everyone from the likes of AJ, Paul Murray, and Jeff Randall about Whyte's business history who on this earth thought it a good idea he should get Rangers? Spare me the SDM being duped stuff too. I don't believe for one minute he willingly sold to Whyte.
-
I cannot quote directly anything AJ said about LBG during his time as Rangers chairman but he was quite scathing about them during the period of time up to Whyte's takeover. Why were LBG so keen for Whyte to take over Rangers? Did they threaten to withdraw all credit to MIH if this deal was not agreed by SDM? If true not exactly the actions of a bank acting in the best interests of one of its business customers wouldnt you agree? And Messrs Fullerton and Kane didnt exactly seem to hang around too long at LBG after Whyte arrived did they? Were they found out? And of course Mr Fullerton did find himself some new employment did he not ? Doing some low level paper-gathering for SPL lawyers Harper McLeod in their attempts to strip Rangers of titles during the dual contracts fiasco. I'm sure his time at LBG must have been very useful indeed in that respect. But never mind. You go on defending these people all you want
-
If you get the opportunity then read some of the statements made by the then Rangers chairmanAJ.
-
The names of those alleged to have been behind all of this before and after whtye got Rangers are well known.Dont you think something was going on? Too much coincidence for my liking. And the names of the individuals allegedly involved doest surprise me.Well known Rangers haters
-
IMO the whole thing was co-ordinated from LBG(as I've already mentioned) & HMRC standing back & allowing Whyte to acquire Rangers (despite the fact he already owed them millions) then proceding to allow him to run up millions in unpaid PAYE/NI. Oh and not to mention an EBT tax bill starting at £24m to which HMRC werent entitled to either at which they've failed twice at their own internal appeals processes (FTTT & UTTT). Call me a cynic but I fully believe this was all being orchestrated by a small group of individuals with the aim of causing maximum financial damage to Rangers as SDM abandoned ship.
-
And we know who were in charge of LBG's Scottish business division at the time don't we? Rangers debts at that time were falling (they were circa £30m at one point) and were a fraction of the overall MIH debt. So why were the bank so focused on Rangers debt ? Go figure and please don't give me the 'he wasn't anywhere near our account'. He could easily have a got a lacky to do it for him

Draw for the next round of the cup - Rangers v St Johnstone
RANGERRAB replied to Stimpy's topic in Rangers Chat
No guarantee we will beat St Johnstone is there? -
Ok then when all major UK party leaders said there would be no currency union they were just kidding on. I believe you. As for the EU membership you require approval of all EU countries. The Spanish prime minister specifically said Spain would not approve an independent Scotland's membership due to potential issues it could have with the Basque region and Catalonia.I believe Belgium and Italy were of the same opinion.As for the EU legal advice that never was? As a condition for NATO membership you need to be prepared to have nuclear weapons and deploy a first strike policy. The SNP were committed to getting rid off Trident so unless they were replacing how could an independent Scotland get into NATO? Quite frankly Salmond and the SNP were going around making up all sorts of nonsense before the referendum knowing as long as they got the vote there was no going back and they could do whatever they liked. Many people saw this and voted accordingly.
-
You've got to laugh at the YES'ers saying Westminister will renege on its promises for that's exactly what they'd have done had they won last Friday. Would they have got sterling ? EU membership? NATO membership? Doubtful If they reneged on any of them would there have been a re-run of the referendum? not a chance. One thing about that referendum was that if they'd won there was no going back whatever happened
-
Just can't see it. Can you ? And why are Laxey increasing their shareholding in Rangers. Surely there are easier ways for them to make money. Or are they doing this for somebody?
-
Shifted by whom though?
-
If this meeting did take place I cannot believe for one minute no serious questions were asked of him by anyone at that meeting. The recent share issue literally raised peanuts for us to stumble on for another couple of months. What happens after that? Did no one ask?
-
Wallace addressed the players in the home dressing room at Ibrox on Friday? Why were they at ibrox? Thought they only went to Ibrox on match days when at home? Weren't they training at MP on Friday?
-
The lack of interest in Neil Lennon is mind-boggling
RANGERRAB replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
What respectable club would seriously want someone like Lennon as their team manager? -
'The £3million raised by the recent share issue had stabilised the Ibrox cash crisis' yes but for how long? One month? Two months ? Unless a major injection of capital is forthcoming very soon we've big problems ahead.
-
I wonder what well known Shellik fan Hamza Yousef MSP and Rangers-hater lawyer Aamar Anwar make of this? Had this been a Rangers player I'msure they'd have had plenty to say by now
-
Surely if an offence had been committed the SFA have to wait to see what action the police take?
