der Berliner 3,743 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) So Whyte bought us and ran us into the ground and put the company that ran the club for 113 years into liquidation. Think what might have been had Whittaker and the rest of his well paid colleagues on the park not decided to blow our CL campaign for that year ... (... even though one does not know what Whyte would have had up his sleeve.) (Looks like our homepage is down right now?)

EDGE 0 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 do we know who voted against us yet? A Mr Law Peterswell. I AM JOKING IN CASE ANYONE THINKS THAT I AM BEING SERIOUS!!! In all seriousness, I read on another forum that it was a Mr Poon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon 1,289 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I find this statement from the club disappointing. It is a corporate statement that ignores the fans, the players, management and creditors of the Rangers (dare I say the Oldco). It is obviously designed to support the share issue. The only parts of it I find palatable are the references to the SPL and to the purchase of our honours. It does nothing to endear Mr Green and his backers to me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if legally we need to distance ourselves from the tax case or risk it coming back to us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that, STB. I just find it a bit cold and made me think about all the conflicting emotions we are experiencing tonight contrasting with a statement from someone with no emotional attachment to the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what else the club can say. Lets remember this is a HUGE document and as Green has a tendency to say things he shouldn't this is the best response at the moment. There are plenty of days ahead to make more statements, today is about ramming home the point of the spl/sfa witch hunt on trophies and cutting through the crap the mhedia say. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made the point about the SPL investigation, not sure what else to expect beyond that to be honest. It's a hollow victory since the damage was already done, Green wasn't involved with that regime at all so there's no real reason for him to be emotional. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,114 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if legally we need to distance ourselves from the tax case or risk it coming back to us. HMRC themselves made their position clear in the statement regarding the rejection of the CVA proposal. "Liquidation will enable a sale of the football assets to be made to a new company, thereby ensuring that football will continue at Ibrox. "It also means that the new company will be free from claims or litigation in a way which would not be achievable with a CVA. Rangers can make a fresh start." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but by phoenix company rules there's always the possibility of them changing their minds. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
