calscot 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 my understanding was the 16 million didn't include the small tax case. So what is your understanding now? It may be £16m after interest and penalties for all I know but that's irrelevant to attempting to ascertain future costs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,105 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Maybe it's more like the press taking the piss - the big tax case goes from £49m to over £75 in some reports and the total bill goes to something like £125m in other reports. I have no idea of the current cost as the penalties and interest seem to balloon very quickly. According to the D&P report the original bill was "circa £3m" so perhaps you're taking the piss with the implied £2.25m? I actually thought it was less but was also attempting to address gunslinger's 16m figure for which I assumed the unpaid tax was about £7m. Instead of being insulting, why not just give the correct figures? None of us are perfect in our knowledge or memory here - and you are obviously no exception. £1,87m + £0,9m (interest) = £2,77m which is a wee bit under £9m http://www.plus-sx.com/newsItem.html;jsessionid=E80210C2534674462E67E4F026B67EEF?newsId=1145487 Of course Whytes' non payment despite previously agreeing too resulted in penalties and the monies the tax man arrested were credited against VAT and not the wee tax bill, though iirc a £500k payment was credited against the wee tax case. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuznetsov 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) I was gutted about this news until i read - "he has no interest in renegotiating that". IF TRUE, the money grabbing glory hunting idiot can go anywhere he wishes. I have my doubts its true though, he must like it here, who wouldnt? In reply to this by ian - "I'm not particularly fussed if he goes, but we really need to get this registration ban sorted out. If other players leave for similarly knock down fees, then we could be in a huge mess. " - I say, the ban will not be getting sorted, it is what it is. We have to get on with it. Other players will leave, i have no doubts about that, Papac has left i believe, Lafferty will go, Healy and Little will hopefully go. Our best players with embarrassing sell on clauses will most likely go also. We will still be left with the second best squad in the league but is that enough for the coaching team to come second in the league or even challenge for the title? I am not so sure.

kuznetsov 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I was under the impression that Rangers received no money from Ticketus. So you don't agree we paid Ticketus? I thought Whyte got the £20 odd million, not the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbernauldGers 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I can feel the love for him CG. Are you at the wind up mate? I dont get the stance your taking, are you saying he has been a great player worth the money we spent on him? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he been worth the £4m paid for him? No. Is he so poor that we should be taking a £3.5m loss on him? No. Does he still have untapped potential? Yes. Does he deserve another chance to play for us? Only if he wants to renegotiate his contract in my opinion. Not a great player but not as bad as some love to think. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 please remember to add in the 5 or more million he's cost us in wages to any judgement of him. until the last couple of months I was always on his side but what he's done since we went into admin means I am finished with him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Has he been worth the £4m paid for him? Who's this, Lafferty? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuznetsov 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Who's this, Lafferty? Kyle Lafferty, the player the thread is about. Fee was just under £4m(£3.3m) but if, like gunslinger says, if we include his wages for the time he has been here, it rises considerably. No return for the club whatsoever, a huge loss. Complete waste of time and money if we dont keep him and turn him into the player he has the potential to be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Kyle Lafferty, the player the thread is about. Fee was just under £4m(£3.3m) It's more like just over £3m than £4m. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
