RANGERRAB

It's time for Longmuir to earn his money if these SFL1 clubs do break away. He must do everything in his power to renegotiate the SKY deal to get the SFL a bigger share if Rangers are in the SFL. Rangers must not subsidise the SPL. Rangers SKY money must all stay in the SFL. Let the SPL negotiate their own deal.

you might even want to ask the last time a certain Mr Desmond paid tax back home in Ireland. Bet that's not been widely reported anywhere.

Who has turned on him?

If the SFL1 clubs break away & join the SPL then Longmuir must demand that the SFL get a much bigger share of the SKY money

After debts reached £80m the share issue which was underwritten by SDM reduced that debt to £6m bythe time PLG arrived. That's often forgotten. It was after KAUNUS that the debts started rising again by which time Lloyds had taken over HBOS

Because there's only one show in town. They all know it but won't admit it.

Dermot Desmond has a business history no one wants to question. So why do these guys getting questioned?

they always forget to mention that after O'Neil left in 2005, Ra Sellik were £30m in debt. Looks like they couldn't afford the players they had during O'Neil's era.

Now is the time for Longmuir to show how good he is at his job. With Rangers in the SFL subsidising the SPL via the SKY deal, he has to get the SFL a much bigger share of that deal due to these SFL1 rebels. It will mean serious hardship for some SPL clubs as they'd get less money(and hopefully the SFL1 breakaway rebels too).

Mark Daly proved wrong yet again. Surely he'll need to hand back that BAFTA now won't he ?

Do you think SDM willingly sold out to Whyte ? I've never bought that one. Just ask yourself who was in charge of LBG at the time of Whyte's takeover & where their allegiances lay? Whyte's business history wasn't difficult to find out about. Certainly AJ seemed to have done just that.

This investigation is being overseen by Roy Martin QC. Love to see the SFA try & get someone to challenge him if they don't like its findings. Who would they get ? Fat McKenzie? don't make me laugh

whyte was a kamikaze businessman who should never have got near Rangers in the first place. SDM was blackmailed into selling to him. Virtually no one would touch Rangers because of the potential EBT tax bill. Whyte got the club(by deceiving ticketus into funding the takeover) but was depending on 2 things:- 1) CL money for 2011/12 2) an early BTC verdict after which he'd either sell the club or liquidate blaming SDM if the outcome wasn't favourable. He got neither and hadn't the funds to run the club so he put it into administration hoping to get it back after administration and sell it making money for himself. That wasn't possible as D&P found out the accounts were all over the place and PAYE/NI hadn't been paid. HMRC blocked the CVA leading to newco being formed of which Whyte wasn't part of. This investigation will prove that.

If Hertz are in an insolvency situation, can someone explain to me why there's no talk of them being thrown out the SPL and having to apply to the SFL for membership ? have the rules changed since last summer ?

I'm still surprised some Rangers supporters questioned the need for this investigation. Had it not been done then you could almost guarantee Regan 's SFA would have launched their own investigation & sent the bill to Rangers. It doesn't bear thinking about who they would have appointed onto their investigating panel. Fat MacKenzie for one maybe?

No idea. Who was it?

You forgot questions regarding Craig Whyte i.e. 1) at what point was the SFA aware of Whyte's business history? 2) at what point were the SFA informed Whyte wasn't paying over PAYE/NI deductions? In response to q1 do not believe the SFA were unaware of Whyte's background. I believe Regan said he didn't know of Whyte's business history until Daly's documentary which I don't believe. In response to q2 I believe our JT informed the SFA about 4 or 5 months before administration PAYE/NI wasn't being paid. Did the SFA know & what action was taken ?

Regan is liewell's puppet at the SFA. Doncaster is Liewell's puppet at the SPL. That's how Scottish football is run these days

Regan is liewell's puppet in the SFA. Doncaster is Liewell's puppet in the SPL. Both do as instructed. That is the way Scottish football is nowadays and it is literally falling to pieces.

if the parent company are insolvent then Hertz must be booted out the SPL (as happened to us last year) and they must apply to the SFL for membership. They will duly receive membership but will be told to start in the lowest division i.e. SFL3. That's the precedent set last year. If it goes any other way then we must take legal action. Dundee must be relegated too. That's what happened to Dunfermline last year. That was the precedent set last year. If it goes any other way Dunfermline should take legal action too.

There will be 2 league bodies:- Celtic & the SPL and Rangers & the SFL. Now is the time for Longmuir to stand up to the SPL and demand all the TV income and advertising Rangers bring to the SFL stays with the SFL & not a penny goes to the SPL any longer. The SPL wouldn't survive for long after that I wouldn't think.

People need to get this idea out of their heads that we could go back to the top with a team of youngsters. That would never work. We need experienced players too & that's why Daly has been signed. We also need to realise not all the youngsters we've seen over the past season will make it. Even if only 2 or 3 of them are still with us in a couple of years that may well be considered a success

The main point is we should force them to renegotiate our TV rights with us. Without this everything else is dead in the water. Rangers must not subsidise the parasites of Scottish football any longer.

No it would not cost 50million or anywhere near it. Old co is a worthless, empty corporate shell with no assets.

Will Neil be in with a shout for the Man City job ? Will he ?
