Police first creditor to react

635

Strathclyde Police were Rangers first creditor to ask for a payment guarantee from Rangers’ newly appointed administrator, saying, “Strathclyde Police is a public body and has a duty to make sure public resources are used appropriately. We are seeking an urgent meeting with the administrators to ensure that any payment for policing costs at future Rangers games is guaranteed.

“Until we have such a guarantee we would not be in a position to commit public resources to policing an event unless we had a reassurance that our costs would be met.”

Before the administrator is able to allow the scheduled game against Kilmarnock on Saturday to proceed he would need to guarantee payments for all services employed and goods used, casting considerable doubt on the game proceeding.  The administrator is liable for any expenses he incurs from now which cannot be paid by the club.

Funds will need to be found for turnstile and security staff, while footballers may be asked to play for free.

  1. ArranmoreBhoy – a fee will be payable to the Performing Rights Society for playing music in a public place… Hardly essential, and likeley on the admin’s cut list. It may be an eerily quiet run on to the pitch on Saturday – make it easier to hear the boos and abuse at CW mind…

  2. Allgreen admin heaven on

    Thank you Rangers for giving me such great fun over the last few weeks.Could Whyte face any charges on the non payment on the VAT/PAYE?

     

     

    Every new revelation is more reason to enjoy. My father died a few months ago and by God he would be loving this like a lot of the older generation who experienced their cheating and bigotry throughout their lifetime.

  4. Celticrollercoaster – is the season ticket money ( such as it will be ) not already promised to Ticketus?

  5. By the by, remember the club deck bond in the 90s? They have to refund all £7m of it now they’re insolvent.

  6. bournesouprecipe on

    BFDJ “Rangers could be sitting on £30,000,000 with £25,000,000 season ticket money, and the £5,000,000 Jelavic ”

     

     

    *uncontrollable laughter*

  7. Odds on for Celtic to win 10 in a row!!!!!???!!!

    THE Chairman of the Club has written the following open letter to all Rangers supporters:

     

     

    To all Rangers supporters,

     

     

    I write to you today to address a number of key issues facing the Club.

     

     

     

    First, I would like to address specifically the latest attempt to undermine Rangers in today’s Daily Record which devotes five pages to trashing our efforts to get this Club back on a sensible financial footing.

     

     

    In the most lurid terms, the Record accuses the Club’s management and, specifically me, of using supporters’ money to help fund the buy-out of Rangers. Not true.

     

     

    The Club is accused of not paying £5million in VAT. Not true.

  10. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    Rowz

     

     

    No.

     

     

    We can debate all we want but until someone starts talking to HMRC in terms of 75million. Although it is MIH that is in control of the tax casedont forget that Rangers have already lost it they are only appealing and the entity that HMRC have to deal with.

     

     

    So really unless it is been spoken about in those terms then it is palptalk

     

     

    HH

  11. That Cousin deal ,the media in Scotchland and Willie McKay really sold me a dummy.

     

    Are there really university courses you have to pass to be a journalist?

    A return to the isle, oh that’s tempting..

     

     

    See their throwing around the L word on Clyde…

     

     

    Listening to this nonsense on there…

     

     

    Jeez oh

     

     

    Maybe they’ve never heard of Porto or Lyon??

     

     

    Playing in allright leagues but regularly competing in Europe and signing big Players..

     

     

    HAi HAil MAte..

     

     

    SP

  13. It’s a massacre. A rout. Surely the biggest corporate criminal case in Scottish history.

     

     

    Whyte and Murray make Fred Goodwin look like Warren Buffet.

  14. Those arguing that Scottish football needs a strong huns in the SPL are also saying that a newco must suffer some penalty if they are allowed into the SPL.

     

     

    What kind of penalty is there that wouldn’t weaken them to the extent that they’ll struggle for third place?

     

     

    Or are we just relying on hatred and bigotry and sectarianism to provide the interest and the money?

     

     

    Is that all Scottish football is about?

  15. Maybe Cousan can now go get 20,000 a week at Birmingham, if you believe his agent…haha hahaha..

    Exactly what I was thinking regards my old man who passed away last year and also many, many good Celtic loving people who sadly are no longer with us but had to stomach the huns bile down through the years.

  17. The social consequences of their adminitration/liquidation will be enormous. Their lunatic fringe will be even more dangerous now. Stay safe folks.

  19. Administrator’s priority list

     

     

    Ditch Murray Park

     

    Ditch the mgt team

     

    Ditch the top players

     

    Ditch the injured players

     

     

    They have no cash , we will find out tomorrow, it will leak out!

     

     

    Our escape route to England beckons!

    It was actually the first time he sounded emotional. Kept himself in check until the topic about Celtic winning came up.

  23. Oh the Huns they are cryin’
