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.

    Rangers fans crying outside the stadium, the last time that happened was when they signed Maurice Johnston.

  2. Since this has been a day of good news all round, here’s another wee tit-bit for you all.

     

     

    Have just been speaking to a very dear friend who happens to be a Deloitte employee.

     

     

    He’s informed me that his employers were close to being appointed Administrator of the Orcs and that the figure that the MBB has held back from HMRC since he took over is closer to £10.5 million rather than the £9 million figure that’s been reported.

     

     

    Not entirely sure how much this matters in the grand scheme of things but thought it was worth sharing anyhow……

  5. DK ‘…remember 30 years ago when crowds were at 20 000…’ Did the parisians not inhabit the league?

     

     

    ‘…SKY contract stipulates four ranjurz v celtic games per year…’ pish!!!!

     

     

    Delahunt now doubting the Killie game will go ahead, if there’s no pies Ally’s outa there!!!!

     

     

    Why is it the largest number of callers to TALKSPORT and SNYDE, on the day that the currant buns buy the farm, are CELTIC fans???

     

    Is it because they don’t really care? there was 20 people outside the fanny mill last night, there’s not exactly a crowd there tonight, they don’t care, we don’t care GIRFUY!!!!!!!

    The honest mistake

     

     

    “Trading while insolvent” is what is going to blow them out of the water.

     

     

    That’s the bullet to the head – all directors are personally liable for the company’s debt.

  7. fortunes favour

     

     

    what about all the champions league teams that have been cheated by the huns because of the EBT scheme, can they all sue
