RANGERRAB

Football changed a lot when Sky got involved, it's hardly a revelation.

And SKY, as Scottish football's largest financial contributor, will dictate what happens in Scottish football next season regards reconstruction.

Not Dumbcaster. Not Rhegan. Not the chairmen of all the diddy clubs who have contributed sweet eff-all to scottish football for decades

I know, we may even play a right winger on the right wing! or is that taking hope too far?

no chance of that. Someone playing in their best position ?

I can't believe there's any question of Andy Little not playing up front on Saturday. He's the best striker we've got at present.

read the first line there, shame it has took us missing inferior strikers for our best striker to get his chance. i dont even listen to or read what mccoist has to say anymore, i have no interest in what he has to say. completely switched off.

if this doesn't worry the Rangers support then it damn well should. It's blatantly obvious Little's best position is up front. Can't the manager see this ? he ineffective wide right and all the other positions he's been played in except up front. Sometimes I do wonder I really do.

whole thing is hilarious.

Rangers being wound up for £400k. brilliant work........which timothy thought this up ? is his seville calculator not working properly ? surely a zero or two short to make this worthy of comment.

I'm sure Mike Ashley will settle with the loose change down the side of his settee.............what? am I not supposed to say that in case Rhegan & co are watching ?

Rangers statement in response to reported winding up order: "sums sought are insignificant & agreement been reached subject to paperwork"

Rangers: "RFC is capable of meeting any debts presented legitimately and we stress there is no threat to the Club whatsoever"

Unfortunately this statement won't deter the usual drama queens we have amongst us.......

It's very unfortunate but ex-Rangers players seldom go on to become great Rangers managers. I would dearly like to see Ally turn things around but I think his record isn't great as Rangers manager whichever way you want to look at it.

Sorry

many football clubs and/or businesses might run at a loss on their balance sheet to avoid paying tax. Perfectly legal although you do get the ones who push it to the limits e.g starbucks

You could say that or they are still using us a test case either way a bit pathetic.

HMRC are the great pursuer of lost causes. They don't care how much it costs to recover amounts they believe they are due even when it's not remotely financially viable to do so e.g the redknapp case. A private company would not dream of doing anything of the sort but hey it's the public purse and they've got a bottomless pit of dosh haven't they? Somebody needs to tell HMRC the UK is £1.3 trillion in debt & rising. All Government depts have had to reduce their spending except them it seems. EBT's were perfectly legal tax avoidance schemes until they were closed down. They need to realise that & start chasing tax evaders

Remember it cost them something like £8m chasing Harry Redknapp for a £300k tax bill.............so maybe we shouldn't be surprised

it depends whos call it is. you can be sure, the tims in high places will be doing all they can overturn this. and i mean all they can!

 

i believe the outcome of the kangaroo court is we are guilty. its just a matter of fighting the decision when it is released.

someone tell you outcome ? I don't believe they know what to do

deep rooted hatred. bigotry.

that won't win them their appeal.

Wonder where this places the SPL's Kangaroo court. As things currently stand nothing has changed regards the FTTT where these payments were deemed loans & not contracts.

Will the kangaroo court attempt to guess the outcome of the STTT which could be years away if there's a backlog of cases ?

they want us and will do anything to get us. this is not over by a long shot sadly imo.

It will be intersting to know exactly what is the basis of their appeal.

Is it not the case they've been granted 'leave to appeal' meaning they'll need to prove where the FTTT was incorrect in its judgement on a point of law. Failure to do so will mean the appeal will be thrown out as I expect it will be & we'll see whether HMRC wish to proceed further with this.

wasnt wilson on something like 15 grand a week at liverpool? how much would it cost to have him effectively cut 2-3 years off of his career by resigning for us? Plus he's already tasted the big time with Rangers and Liverpool, he may well want another crack at this (and europe) with a club who can take him there immediately!

Wilson's career has gone backwards since he left Rangers. He may well have been on 15k pw at Liverpool but if they release him at the end of the season he's unlikely to get anything like that wherever he goes

we better not mate.

Well according to CG he isn't signing any SKY deal for next season meaning Rangers games wouldn't be shown.

If he sticks to his guns then there will certainly be interesting times ahead. Without us in the top division there is little attraction for SKY to show Scottish football and even if they did it would be on reduced terms next season meaning all the financial promises made recently couldn't be kept.

he has suggested he was head hunted he has also suggested he was asked to apply. it was indeed nolan and partners - selliks headhunters that went for sthewartybhoy. liewell in think (or perhaps his son) worked at miller coors together. just coincidence of course.

Liewell & Regan worked together at Coors. That's well known.

What needs to be asked is what made Regan prime candidate for the position of SFA Chief Exec. His recent CV is one of abject failure at YCC. Why was he selected & by whom for SFA chief exec ? were there other candidates ? who were they ? why were they not selected? a whole serious oof questions need to be asked about this appointment

Perhaps Daly might want to make a documentary about this. Yet again probably not as we know his allegiances too.

no chance rab.

Just wait til they start negotiations with SKY & try to find a replacement sponsor for the CB.

If CG sticks to his guns regards SKY they've a big problem. I believe SKY won't broadcast any live Rangers games against Rangers wishes. This will mean a serious drop in what they'd pay.

Dumbcaster needs to realise Rangers will not subsidise Scottish football via a SKY deal next season like what happened this season.

and with two years of week in week out games he will only get better.

Think you'll find we might be back in the top division as early as next season so might not be week in week out........

he was a liverpool fan as a kid from a celtc supporting family . hes now a rangers fan and probably still liverpool. .

We should re-sign him IMO if he wants to come back that is. He's far better than anything we've currently got.

who's the main guy in blue pitch holdings ?

only thing about shops in belfast & glasgow airports - will they make a profit? The previous one in glasgow didn't

as I said on another thread we've 14 SFL3 games left this season. After that a decision needs to be taken regards Ally & his staff.

Yes but how many different ways does it need to be said and how many times?

 

I have major doubts about the management team but I don't want to talk about it morning, noon and night.

 

It is repetitive, dull and depressingto peddle the same stuff ad nauseam.

we've 14 SFL3 games left this season. After that a decision needs to be taken regards Ally and his staff. This cannot be avoided

Rhegan hand picked to be the sellik patsy in the sfa. he was incompetent at ycb and is worse here. i think his brother's well known support for the iranaways got sthewartybhoy his job.

was it not reid's son & nolan partners who interviewed rhegan for the job. question is, was anyone else interviewed ? if so who & by whom?

One of the Rangers websites (think it was RM) questioned this and got a letter from the SFA's lawyers then in true Rhegan style he went on TV and said he was head-hunted with the implication that no one else was interviewed

guilty by association only applies to Rangers, oleg

This is where CG & JT need to earn their money. If JT has anything on Regan & the SFA in general he needs to use this ammunition in the months ahead which I see being very turbulent indeed due to financial promises being made regards reconstruction which cannot be fulfilled unless the financial contributors to scottish football are prepared to take a hit for another season without us in the top division or they may simply walk away altogether

thats not strictly true rab. scottish football has made many good careers for players, probably none more so than henrik larsson.

Possibly true but after yesterday's debacle we need CB's. I cannot see anyone in scotland who would improve us at CB presently
