Jockeying for FTT already done

735

Following RangersTaxCase’s information that Rangers-HMRC First Tier Tribunal report was in the hands of both parties’ solicitors on Friday, I subsequently heard the report runs to in excess of 300 pages.  It will be published by the court authorities in due course but I don’t expect anything this week.  Any attempt to spin or release excerpts from the report could be considered contempt so it is likely that we will hear nothing formally until then.

Once the report goes live you can expect an already-prepared summary with plenty of focus on what the FTT denied HMRC.  HMRC will not achieve a clean sweep, some matters were dealt with correctly, but there will be no surprises on these pages for the thrust of the findings.

I’m looking forward to an entertaining and final dose of bombast from one of the parties, hopefully in keeping with some of the all-time favourites from March 2000, “Rangers are moving on to another level from the rest of Scottish football”, “the Glasgow giants are setting an agenda that no other Scottish club can match”.

That famous article in The Herald asserts “The Ibrox chairman [Sir David Murray] has spent several months and many sleepless nights piecing together the plans which will eliminate Rangers”.

It does, of course, insert the word “debt” into the end of that sentence but sometimes fewer words paint a more accurate picture.  While we’re on a related subject, well done to Sports Direct FC for reaching the summit of the Third Division on goal difference.  That manager’s definitely worth keeping. Ashley’s money is being wisely spent.

    I think the old parrot may be on to something.

     

     

    Human nature is such that folk don’t just shrug their shoulders and walk away from a £27M walloping.

    Perhaps go with Matthews wide right in front of Lustig. We need pace in the wide areas as that is where we can get at them, Commons too slow and far more effective in the middle.

    Well she is looking good for the dark ages

     

     

    I thought she was older than that

    Is it not time for a new nickname for Mr. Charles ?

     

     

    “If I listen to your lies would you say

     

    I’m a man without conviction

     

    I’m a man who doesn’t know

     

    How to sell a contradiction

     

    You come and go, you come and go

     

    …….

     

    Didn’t hear your wicked words everyday

     

    …….

     

    When you go you’re gone forever

     

    You string along, you string along

     

    …….

     

    Every day is like survival

     

    You’re my lover, not my rival”

     

     

    Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. Charles, the Karma Chameleon (“You come and go, you come and go”).
