Plural!? I had no idea.

Based on the same 'we got the documentation but can't show it or prove it' claim the BBC use so much, is that Klos earned on a par with David Beckham. I do love all these claims being made without any actual proof to back them up.

Green has stated the same claim, though I think he said England, not just Championship.

He was on 80K at Milan. We, even under new owners, will be able to afford £5k at the most. If he can accept that sort of reduction, and tbh he can afford it, then we'll get him if we win the appeal.

casey is here as a troll as far as I am concerned. To defend a minority of pricks who insulted 3 of our players in a xenophobic manner as some kind of 'freedom of speech' shows his nature. And his comments in this thread re-affirm the disappointing nature of most of his views.

Maybe I should start muting your comments too. Given the absolute garbage you've been coming out with for 867 posts.

That guy Oni I think it was. The one Zaps describes about herpes. Didn't see that particular comment. He seems to have an iota of a brain cell yet lets himself down with crude, childish name-calling.

Ha, I got it bad enough off the tims. I'd simply not cope if you lent your weight to it too

Ah, you can have the thanks

This blog seems to have stirred the hive. Some of the replies are quite amusing. Apparently I shag my own sister, I'm a moron, and a cretin. Ah, tims, gotta love 'em. Cheers for posting it Zaps.

If D&P spent as much time getting us taken over as they do making statements, we'd have found a new owner by the end of February.

Curious how he refuses to show the incriminating evidence regarding the EBT dual contract claims, but happily goes on with the D&P stuff. Why is it ok for him to publicly display the D&P evidence but not the EBT DC evidence?

Muted the TV every time he was on.

The bit in bold interested me the most. To think some defended the dickhead supporters who displayed that banner. And practically called me pious for my condemnation. And refused to address how the Americans among our playing staff would have felt about it. Rest of the comment is interesting as well - he really ain't happy with Whyte.

Motherwell are going to lose heavily. They are not up to this level. We barely are. If they manage to escape with a 10-0 aggregate defeat, it will be work well done.

I just realised the 'pun' I unintentionally provided there. Bit tasteless on my part albeit I completely forgot your circumstances. But I do object to your cliche'd nature these days.

You're becoming a walking cliche these days.

Rangers fans have no faith in administrators Duff & Phelps, according to a supporters' spokesman. The London firm has been running Rangers since the club entered administration on 14 February. A BBC Scotland documentary has revealed a potential conflict of interest with Duff & Phelps partner David Grier, a claim the company denies. John Macmillan, of Rangers Supporters' Association, said: "Virtually every fan is unhappy with their performance." Asked if supporters of the Ibrox club had faith in the company, Macmillan added: "No, absolutely not. "I think Duff & Phelps' handling of this administration has been a shambles from day one. "I don't know how many times they have announced a preferred bidder and withdrawn it at the last moment. "There has to be a serious investigation into their handling of this. "But we hope that Rangers will exit administration under new ownership and that this investigation can take place at a later date. "The priority is to get out of administration via a CVA and hopefully this Duff & Phelps thing won't hold that up." The Court of Session approved Rangers owner Craig Whyte's choice of Duff & Phelps as the club's administrators, but Macmillan, secretary of the fans' group, believes the company's involvement "just doesn't sit right". Continue reading the main story â??If Rangers go down to the Third Division, I think it would kill Scottish footballâ? John Macmillan Secretary of Rangers Supporters' Association "They were appointed by Craig Whyte himself and that tells its own story," he said. Whyte used funds from Ticketus to buy the club from Sir David Murray for £1 and pay the £18m debt owed to Lloyds Bank. Duff & Phelps's senior partner Grier had said he was unaware of the Ticketus deal until August 2011. But BBC Scotland has seen evidence that suggests he knew a deal was under way in April, before Whyte's takeover. The programme also revealed that 63 Rangers players plus Ibrox staff, including previous owner Sir David Murray, benefited from Employee Benefit Trusts. Rangers' use of that scheme is currently subject to a First Tier Tax Tribunal and could land the club a bill of up to £75m. Further, if the payments from the EBT scheme were not registered properly with the Scottish football authorities then Rangers could be punished by the Scottish Football Association and the Scottish Premier League. Last season, Rangers were docked 10 SPL points for entering administration and were fined £160,000 and banned for a year from signing players over 17 years of age by the SFA. Should Rangers form a new company, the SPL must decide whether they should be allowed to retain their place in the top tier. Some fans of other clubs have contacted their clubs to insist that a "newco" Rangers must start in the Third Division. The member clubs will meet on 30 May to discuss the issue. "I don't know what more they can do to them other than banish them from the face of the earth, which I don't think would do Scottish football any good," Macmillan said. "If Rangers go down to the Third Division, I think it would kill Scottish football. "I don't think very many [fans] would accept it would be a reasonable punishment for the club. "If either of the Old Firm left the SPL you would find it difficult to get a sponsor for the league and get a TV contract up and running." Was it prudent of John to come out with this? He's probably right, D&P have been iffy from about 3 weeks into their tenure, but I'm not sure this statement doesn't appear to support the BBC.

So, just so I'm clear - Celtic use EBT too, and BBC employees are being investigated for tax evasion. Yes, Rangers are the only ones with a dubious past and we shouldn't focus on anyone else...

Indeed. One might think there's a political reason at play as to why they've taken a particular side. Perhaps...erm...the rejection of the Blue Knights bid?

Then you just went to their and timmy's level. I don't want any Scottish club to go out of business. A sheep tweeted me ages ago and laughed at our predicament. He can go to hell. And I blocked him despite knowing him since I was a kid. But anyone who is happy to see other clubs go out of business is forgetting people have jobs and families to feed. I have no desire to see any club die. It gains nothing except loss.

I wrote it with you in mind

Well, as much as I hate Aberdeen, their boycott is against Aberdeen, not Rangers. Yes, it's about Rangers, but they'd be boycotting their games if their club supports a Rangers newco. Funny really though, I thought they'd been boycotting their matches for 2 or 3 seasons now.

Beeb's budget is pretty poor these days. They still do good quality TV UK wide but their regional stuff is degrading badly.
