der Berliner 3,744 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 All very laudable. I would willingly chip in. But not if CW is at the helm. That is the point ... club membership schemes mean that slowly but steadily the club's ownership will shift into the hands of its members. They decide on the board et al. The problem with the British clubs is that many are being run by owners who invest most of the cash and thus want most of the say ... and fair enough. What needs to be done here is that the members both gets something for their membership fee as well as being certain that the money they invest is used wisely. Thus, you would not invest in anything chairman (be that Whyte or whomever), but Rangers FC. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergatrude 0 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Pardon me for not being full of the joys of spring as I watch my club die a slow painful death. You are probably one of the better educated people on this forum on this subject matter (so I'm led to believe by previous posts) but you regularly post doom & gloom, always the negative side. Surely you could be constructive & suggest other options even if only slightly better. I can't help but think sometimes that you're posts are intended purely to make the thicko's like myself panic more. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could see a positive or constructive option that would end this sorry episode I would gladly post it but I simply can't see one. I can assure you I don't post simply to cause alarm far from it but merely inject a dose of reality irrespective of it's "doom & gloom" potential, I could post stuff like "all in the garden is rosy" but what's the point there's enough of them already ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think that 'formerly the most successful football club in the world' sounds good. :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think that 'formerly the most successful football club in the world' sounds good. :fish: I think liquidation is no longer a possibility, is it? -> If the Club goes into administration, will the tax tribunal case still proceed? What, if anything, will HMRC get if the tribunal rules there is tax to pay? And what about the Club's other creditors? Yes the case will still proceed. Rangers are just one of a number of defendants to the case. If the tribunal rules in favour of HMRC then any claim they may have against the club will be unsecured and will rank alongside other unsecured creditors.

Ergatrude 0 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I think liquidation is no longer a possibility, is it? I was joking, but realistically, it's always an option for any company. I'd be extremely surprised if Rangers FC was liquidated though. Far too many implications for the SPL, SFA, our reported 400,000 fanbase & of course JJB sports :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
