Can you believe these Duff and Phelps people? They can’t afford to pay Rangers taxes, or other SPL clubs monies due, but today they tried to increase their payroll today by asking the SPL to register Daniel Cousin. Can you imagine what the out-of-pocket creditors feel about this?
These people are in place to make sure the company trades long enough to repay creditors. They can trade perfectly well with the three dozen or so players they have, what kind of justification could they possibly give to the court for playing Football Manager with other people’s money? No wonder HM Revenue and Customs fought their appointment.
What an absolute shower. It’s almost as though that place is some kind of lightning rod for a special type of competency. It’s not your money you’re spending, pay the club’s bills and stop looking for football bling, that’s what got the last lot into trouble in the first place!

Post of the day mi amigo :>)))))
Here’s a wee question….
Would a bill for £75 m
Plus and additional bill for other staff at MIH on similar EBT schemes have tipped a financially distraught Murray international into admin?

unless Cousin was paid upfront ……the actions of the administrators in trying to register him is reprehensible and contrary to their responsibilities
hope fully HMRC are keeping an eye on this and will challenge them asap
btw …..i thougt they were barred from signing and registering new players
Can I just say that in my day 1M was 1,000,000 and 1m was 0.001. Totally different things. Bring back stadard units as it reduces the hun debt.

Lol wrote Hibs instead of agathe for answer…lol….and only had one beer….lol.
Copy and paste from now on……lol
Yet again, dignity fc try to operate outside the rules! Rangers have consistently failed to take any action to help themselves with their debt problems, yet they expect and welcome assistance from all quarters calling for them to receive special treatment because of who they are. This arrogance and superiority complex is probably the main reason they find themselves where they are. If they emerge from this debacle without due punishment and harsh lessons learned, I fear for the future of the Scottish game.
mon the killie!
Paul67,
Thanks for the quality articles over the last week. It is almost like we are reading everything the wrong way, it has been truly surreal what has been happening these last few days. I know them going bust was going to be monumental but it seems to have put off kilter a lot of professional peoples minds. Or maybe they are all just huns. ;)
Surely HMRC will get these administrators removed but then again why would the MBB administrators even contemplate this move today, something just does not add up. It’s as if Whytie wants HMRC to take over and liquidate them but give the impression he has tried in a bizarre kind of way.
Who cares, it is funny as heck to watch it all happening.
I’ve not been able to read through all the stuff this week (traffic was just far too much) but it must rate as one of the best ever for contributions to the site. The quality comments by so many posters has been incredible and it has been a privilege to read the blog even more so this week.

I mentioned it at the time, thought i was hearing things.
So its a definite rule change this season for the huns to get back in SPL.
How would Hearts feel if Cousin had been registered today and then scored against them in their next game while they are still owed £800,000? Just incredible!

I keep looking for another angle here. It all looks too incompetent, too chaotic. Surely he went in with a plan that was a bit more intelligent than: get in, say anything you need to keep the mugs sweet, stash the money, and run?
Maybe, though, we’re just trying to over-theorise. Maybe he really believed it would work. Maybe he gambled that, in the world of corporate and tax law, he could be immoral but not illegal. Or even if he was “a wee bit illegal” the penalties will in no way outweigh the benefits for him. Maybe he’s exposing four problems in one glorious scam:
1) the corrupt practices of rangers
2) the corruption of the media
3) the superiority complex of the rangers fans, and its gullibility counterpart
4) the inadequacy of corporate law
Maybe he really is a hero
Ally, Ally, superswally, has come out demanding answers from CW, up to this point he has sworn unswerving alleigance to the boss-eyed wonder. Why the change of heart? Is it because the man wi’ the face like a hallowe’en cake can no longer give the belt stretcher his Harry Potters? ‘Ah’m a ranjurz fan’ What happened next?

Agree with Paul here – I was, whats the phrase, astounded of forehead, to hear that Rangers FC (in administration) were attempting to register Cousin. Its utterly remarkable that the administrators should even consider it to even get to the stage that the SPL would block it.
This is a worrying sign – is there something in the water at Ibrox? Does it make people fiscally challenged.
Utterly remarkable for a club thats going to have to beg forgiveness to feel its still okay not to pay other SPL clubs while signing another player.
Their sense of superiority means they thought this is okay.
Seems that Whyte has chosen the correct administrator eh!

You ok mate……..if the Huns make March 25…you fancy a party in O Sheas
I will tell you this David Murray has to be world businessman of the year!
No longer will elite salesmen be coupled with the saying…
“he could sell snow to the Eskimos !”
The new elite sales comparison will be…
“he could sell £75m of debt for a £1!”
£75,000,001 profit in one deal! Wow

perhaps, perhaps…but 1M the 1×10^6 and 1m is 1×10^-3. Therefore, if the hun are only in 74m debt thats less than the pound that Why/ite paid for the hun.
75M = 75,000,000
75m = is 7.5 pence
I blame lazy journalism
pedantic CSC
Question fholks
With all the responses here re. the comical phone-ins. Can anyone enlighten me as to which, if any, is worth of any attention to their incessant, one-sided twaddle?
They are not to believed, they are not to be relied upon, they are not impartial – they are quite the oppositite.
No credibility, have a good laugh – end of. They do not deserve a responce, so don’t flatter them.
Cheers

Uly – don’t forget Cadette’s “goal” at Ipox….best not go there. Too many bad memories!

I watched that on Sky in a friend’s house. I thought I detected something untoward as the camera focused on the teams in the tunnel. McCoist detached himself from his fellow huns and made a point of wishing linesman McBride a very special New Year with a very special handshake.
At that point McBride’s life became complete. His smile was as beatific as a hun’s smile could ever get. I alerted my friends to the events unfolding on the screen but was dismissed as a paranoiac.
Then the raised flag. Paranoid? Who me?
