Cost to acquire Ibrox likely to be high

1061

Directors and shareholders in limited companies cannot be pursued by creditors under normal circumstances but special provisions exist for ordinary creditors and the tax authorities to pursue officers in a company if their behaviour transgresses acceptable standards.

The Social Security Administration Act 1992 allows HMRC to issue Personal Liability Notices to officers in a company for the recovery of company tax if they are guilty of fraud or “more serious levels of neglect”.

HMRC say:

Generally HMRC may consider a case to involve more serious neglect where it can be established that against a background of persistent failure to pay the contributions due the company was making significant and/or regular payments:

to other creditors

or

to connected persons or companies

or

in the form of director’s salaries

A case may also be judged to involve more serious neglect where ‘culpable officers’ have been associated with previous liquidated companies or other companies that have demonstrated a failure to comply with the statutory requirements of the Income Tax PAYE and NIC legislations.

While I am sure Craig Whyte has acted with the utmost probity Duff and Phelps early comments that Rangers used tax as cash to operate the company with will concern many.

Rangers accumulated £15m in tax debt during Whyte’s tenure.  In addition to his outstanding guarantees to Ticketus the Rangers owner will be alert that the administrators report could cast his actions in a poor light with respect to some of the above scenarios.

The £15m HMRC are demanding for this season is not cash Whyte received, Rangers used that money to fund a domestic and European football campaign.  Rangers owe that money and Craig Whyte is unlikely to forgo his security (Ibrox stadium) without his potential tax and Ticketus positions being covered.

Any attempts to resolve the matters surrounding Rangers which does not provide funds for this obstacle is doomed to failure.

Only a few hours left to bid on the charity auction for the Neil Lennon painting.

    And Vincent Lunny avoided major embarrassment for the SFA coming to a deal with Derek Ogg, avoiding a bigger circus. A major result for Neil

    ”ok I guess you all know about the liquidation document that has been filed?”

     

     

     

    We know about it, and it’s not about liquidation.

  5. Sorry for the delay.

     

     

    Sauce boiled over then internet went down, then Lenny got two match ban….then …aw never mind.

     

     

    Anyway, a few got ‘Govanhill Baths’ correct. Well done.

    So effectively lies have been told and a story has been made up???

     

     

    Thats twice now in the space of a year that our manager has been lied to by Officials!!

     

     

    Have to say that these 2 Refs surely must be fired,because there is no way they can ever ref a Celtic game again??

     

     

    Come on Celtic get into this mob,dont let them wriggle away again!!

     

     

    Hail hail

    No wonder Lennon challenges conduct of Scottish refs as the SFA ruling that he was banished for SFA at Ibrox exposes their agenda.

  9. James Forrest is Neil Lennon! We are ALL Neil Lennon! on

    Why the feck is Lennon’s representation “cutting a deal” with ANYONE?

     

     

    EXCUSE ME?? WHAT???

     

     

    If people told lies here it SHOULD come out. Lenny’s representative has done neither Lenny nor Scottish football ANY favours if he went outside with Lunny and cut a nice wee deal to hush this up.

     

     

    FECK HUSHING IT UP. HASN’T SCOTTISH FOOTBALL HAD ENOUGH OF THAT?

     

     

    This is being portrayed as a “major result” for Lenny? I THINK NOT.

     

     

    A “major result” – the only ACCEPTABLE result – will be people getting FIRED.

  12. BBC website at 19.03 , leads with two game ban story but says no decision made on Ipox tunnel incident ? Hmmmm

     

    Then show classic” snarling Lennon” pic from Hearts game with Norrris !!! Typical

    Neil’s comments about it being personal seem justified now!

    Kennedy revised bid “not capable of being accepted”.

     

     

    Spokesperson for Kennedy is dumbfounded saying ‘The revised offer was double what I had before which is 50% of the original asking but obviously 50p was not enough’. He continued by saying ‘I am not sure if not capable of acceptance means I step back, take two steps back, walk way or **** off!

  16. RalphWaldoEllison-is Neil Lennon Season 2011-12 on

    The Ed Smith vendetta against Celtic at the Rennes and Hibernian games seems to have been connected to the antipathy that the referees had against NL and Celtic after Dougiegate and Dallasgate.

     

    In view of all of that, many would agree that the bizarre decision made by officials at Celtic’s expense are part of the same campaign of revenge.

     

    Willie Collum-gate

     

    Callum Murray-gate

     

    Euan Norris-gate

     

    William Conquer-gate

     

     

    I agree with Neil Lennon’s tweet after the Hearts game.

     

     

    I think it’s personal.

     

     

    I hope that Derek Ogg is of the same calibre and determination as Paul McBride.

     

    Celtic, get wired into this scrabrous organization and their coterie of small minded bigots.

     

     

    Can Neil appeal his two game ban, so that he an be on the touchline against the orcs?

    Incredible that a #Celtic boss is banished in the middle of an Old Firm game on the say so of two officials & it turns out he is innocent.

    The Pope-abusing former refs chief Hugh Dallas was right about bullying. Brines & co are dishing it out & Lennon refuses to take it. #Celtic

     

     

    I like this guy..

    *********************

     

    JF thats 100% correct, the folk tasked with Governance within Scottish football, and the ref’s and linesman tasked with applying the rules of football during a game, if any of these have been lying then they should not be in such a trusted post(s), we DO NOT want these people officiating at our or any other football match which may affect us, our shareholders, our sponsors etc, sounds a lot like institutional lying leading to cheating.

     

    Lets be having the truth.

     

    NO MORE LIES.

    Remember, there’s still a charge to come from the weekend. If a ‘deal’ has been cut, it better include that as well.

     

     

    For me, I’d prefer exposing the corruption as the main issue and not in favour of any ‘cover up deals’. I’d prefer a 16 game ban to appeal and full exposure of cheating refs.

     

     

    Bring on withdrawal of labour 2. I enjoyed the first film and expect a sequel will be just as entertaining.
