If we 'go for it' we can win this game. Utd aren't great defensively. Vital though we get control of MF

TRS: Rangers, Hearts and the Case of Wee Thistle
RANGERRAB replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
1. Yes it does matter if a chairman of a rival club used undue influence to get a government body to take such action.As I said earlier thousands of UK companies used EBT's. What was different about Rangers? 2 At the time of the 'sale' to Whyte Rangers debts were reducing year on year. That must have been bad news for somebody. 3 no one gave anyone rope. Whyte acted alone. why do you use 'we' ? 4 as I said earlier the key issue is how Whyte got Rangers in the first place You might not think there was anything untoward about how Whyte got Rangers. I do. I lost all my shares in the oldco and I strongly believe that this was orchestrated by corrupt individuals in high places with a hatred of Rangers who saw their opportunity and took it. -

Blackmailed you mean. if he didn't the SFA membership wouldn't be transferred from oldco to newco. Let's see if that happens to Hertz if they go to a newco if BDO can't get their shares from UKIOS -

1. What was different about our EBT scheme compared to the thousands of UK companies who used them as perfectly legal tax avoidance until the loophole was closed in 2010? 2 Rangers debt was 3 percent of the MIH debt of £700m yet the bank seems far more concerned with the Rangers debt. why? I believe it gave even more money to SDM after he'd sold Rangers to Whyte.Again why ? 3.from CA's I know you late pay PAYE/NI at your peril. Do it once and you get a stern warning .Do it twice and they'll invite themselves into your business. TBH I think HMRC knew what would happen once Whyte got Rangers 4. I seem to recall D&P stating on more than one occasion the actions of the individual had to be separated.However my main concern is how he got Rangers in the first place. AJ's words at the time of Whyte's takeover will haunt me til my dying day -

Yes good luck so long as the SFA & SPFL are consistent in their punishments which they won't be. Perhaps seeing as they've given Hertz the lions share of this seasons prize money they'll be so good as give Rangers theirs from the end of season 2011-12 which they have withheld. Happy with that GS? -

This is a fine article by Douglas Cameron which is ultimately referring to Whyte's takeover and comparing it to Hertz as well as the HMRC issues.However there's always been three questions I've wanted answered regarding Whyte's 'acquisition' of Rangers and the HMRC issues at that time: 1) did SDM sell willingly to Whyte or was he forced to do so by LBG? (As I'm sure we're all aware LBG's Scottish business division was headed by Manus J FUllerton & Archibald Gerard Kane at that time. guess who they support? Fullerton , of course, is/was involved with the CElt@c trust) 2) did John Reid use his political influence to get HMRC to pursue Rangers for a fictitious EBT tax bill which never existed? ( this made Rangers virtually unsellable to any respectable purchaser until 'you-know-who' came along) 3) at what point did Regan's SFA become aware Whyte was withholding PAYE/NI ? Were they advised by JT in september2011? If so why did they take no action until Rangers went into administration on Feb14 2012? Whyte was of course banned for life from Scottish football but did the SFA know all along what he was up to? In short Whyte was a car crash waiting to happen the minute he came thru the front doors at Ibrox. Then chairman AJ said as much at the time and how chillingly accurate that turned out to be. But was it all orchestrated by our enemies & detractors I ask ? I believe it was -

If the new owner had no money then how the hell did he manage to acquire the business in the first place ? -
The status quo is no longer an option. Change is imperative.

Dundee Utd are by no means unbeatable but McCoist needs to get his tactics and a gameplan spot on for Saturday. Unfortunately Id suspect few of us would have any confidence in him achieving that
-
McCulloch is on £10k p.w. until the end of next season (when he'll be 37)when the contract he had extended by McCoist runs out. Not exactly the best use of resources is it? I think McCulloch is struggling badly at the back already and will get worse next season if he plays there. However I'm sure his buddy Ally will find another position for him

Let's face few if any of these players will ever make the first team on a permanent basis

If these Ashley's rumours are true then I don't expect anything to happen until he sells Newcastle Utd and who knows when that will be as he seems to have been trying to do that for years now

If they newco let's see if the corrupt cabal running our game give them their prize money......should be interesting. People forget they've been in administration since June last year. It's clear the Lithuanians (ukios) don't much fancy what they're being offered and they hold the charge over tynecastle

Had it not been for injuries in his first spell with Rangers Stevie Smith would have been as good as Hutton was IMO. Unfortunately he does seem to be one of these players who has more than his fair share of injuries

Ally McCoist: what to do with a man who cannot walk away?
RANGERRAB replied to Steve1872's topic in Rangers Chat
Another thing that needs to be considered is whether the board are willing to meet the costs of getting a replacement for Ally. In addition to any pay-offs due to Ally and his staff any new manager would surely want his own men brought in (at what cost?) and inevitably a budget for players to replace some of the dross we currently have. Are our board prepared to push the boat out to do that? Or is keeping Ally and his pals in charge the preferable cheaper option? -
No one is going to throw in that amount of money without getting a major say in the running of Rangers. Cannot understand why anyone would oppose Ashley coming in. We'd be financially secure for starters and the easy money for under achievers would be a thing of the past

The club never went bankrupt. The oldco which ran the club got put into a liquidation process which it is still in. The club was transferred from oldco to newco and it's history continued. The SFA, UEFA & FIFA all recognise this

It's now official: We've got Hearts in the Championship next season.

But I thought I read at least one of the creditors was unhappy with what they were getting? I think it's far from a done deal SC -
Why not ? If Rangers were run properly with the right people in charge it should be a profitable business

He'd set much higher performance targets for a start which they could never achieve. You're spot on
