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.

Awe Naw
Start at the beginning –
I say a NewCo will emerge from the wreckage.
Organised = PrePack.
Dis-organised = Hot auction room action to buy a badge, a strip and a blue carpet.
Do you agree?
If not, why not?

hey ghuys one thing thats been omitted here………………….wheres the CRACKED CREST?
Posted this on last article, anyone know?..
Happy Administration Day Bhoys and Ghirls!
Fantastic day yesterday and today. They are absolutely beeling. Have no sympathy whatsoever. Down with Scotlands “Second Largest Institution”…a truly horrible mob who won’t be missed.
Not sure if this has been posted, and do not want to get too carried away, but when can we win the league?
I assume that if we both win all our games (highly unlikely- there will be points dropped by THEM) then we can win the league with 4 games to spare?
It could well be won before the split then no? We have the orcs on the 25th March, two games before the split am I correct?
Wishful thinking, but I am also in the camp that we MUST not let this get to our heads, and remain focused and wrap up what will be a wonderful title.
Hail Hail,
CB

PMSL eeeeeayeeee eeeaaayeeee.
The polis have always been in it for the money.
The “shame game” fuss was hot on the heals of strathclyde’s finest being told what their budget cuts were to be for the next year. The best way to keep up the OT, make sure there’s plenty of work, so they went to work creating work.
The demise of rangers could see that backfire tho. with OT cuts and jobs shed at strathclyde polis. That might mean a reduction in council tax, giving glasgow residents more cash to spend helping to stimulate the econony.
Paddy Gallagher @ 16:21 ,
beat me to it.
Just confirmed on SSN..
Celtic 65 pts
Admin FC 51 pts
no guarantee that the Mothers and Jam Tarts can’t catch them. with player disposals and low moral , do you think they’ll win many more games.
Quick q. what about insurance policies , re injuries.? Do you think any player will want to risk a hamstring or knee now ?
Sanna (partycentral csc)
The Hun Debacle has long been foretold,and we all knew the day was long overdue….but now the axe is swinging and the schadenfreude is toe curling. ( Yes.I’m gloating…but so what? ‘Animals by name;animals by nature.’) They represent MAJOR social ills and are universally loathed,except for their fascist fellow travellers.
Now the irony just gets better : The Boys in Blue cannot police The Boys in Blue. No quarter given when the easy overtime is at stake,eh?
I sincerely hope they go out of business,and their benighted fans go and “follow,follow” some other pursuit;say,caber tossing. Because they surely weren’t into Rangers for either the football or the sport.
Mad Mitch – my question back to you would be – who is going to buy them ? seems to me the state they’ll be in it’ll be a momumental task to get things up and running. then there’s the question of how you’d finance it.
We’re Simply Depressed…

If the police refuse to attend the army have advised they would have stood in but have no equipment because of failure of businesses to remit taxes.

I’m awaiting the BBC headline
“Old Firm enter administration. Both clubs deducted 5 points”

yes a Newco will eventually emerge
http://www.companyrescue.co.uk/company-rescue/guides/hmrc-and-the-cva-process
We have heard that HMRC will not support a CVA?”
This is not true!
Just because the HMRC rejected the CVA proposal put forward by Oddbins not that long ago does not mean that they have had any change in policy.
They will approve a CVA if it is a properly structured, a well thought through plan and the company has been compliant with tax rules in the past. In their recent guidelines published at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/helpsheets/vas-factsheet.pdf they set our their policy
The HMRC agency that decided on these proposals is called the Combined Voluntary Arrangement Service (VAS). Currently it votes in favour of c70% of all proposals. However, we have a >90% approval record.
Once a CVA is proposed the enforcement agency of the HMRC is no longer involved and have no say over whether a proposal is accepted or rejected. In essence the job of the enforcement agency is to collect 100% of the tax owed. If this is simply not possible then responsibility passes to the VAS.
The HMRC are keen to support VIABLE businesses as they see it as a way of reducing lost tax.
However, it should be noted that if you do propose a CVA then you should try and pay as much tax as you can prior to the creditors meeting. It is common sense really as if you are asking for their support then you need to be seen to be doing the utmost in persuading them your business is viable and that you will pay any tax owed in the future. We will of course advise on this aspect as and when we draw up a CVA proposal.

HMRC will accept a CVA if everything is transparent and above board, the company involved and its directors always acts in good faith and they get a good chunk of their money.
So that’s 0 out of 3 for Crag Whyte then!

Taxman to target firms who avoid debts using pre-pack administrations
Tax officials have been given new powers to tackle rogue directors who avoid Crown debts by using controversial pre-pack administrations.
By James Hurley 9:43PM GMT 07 Feb 2012
From April, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will be able to demand a security from companies when the taxman considers there is a “serious risk” that the business will try to dodge PAYE or National Insurance Contributions (NICs).
The crackdown is targeted at business owners who deduct income tax and NICs from their employees’ pay packets “but have no intention of paying it to HMRC”.
The tax office said these companies often build up “substantial debts” and then use a pre-pack administration to set up a new, debt free business – a so-called “phoenix firm” – to continue trading.
Failure to pay the security – which can be a cash deposit or a bank bond – demanded by HMRC will be punishable with a fine of up to £5,000.
HMRC said that the new powers, an extension of rules used to tackle VAT dodgers, will “not affect employers who have genuine payment difficulties”.
Tax officials added that the “amount of tax at risk, the employer’s previous behaviour and other risks” will be used to determine the size of the security, but it will typically be either four or six months’ worth of income tax and NICs.
About 400 companies are expected to have to provide a security in the next financial year, HMRC said.
The move by follows a decision by the Government to scrap plans that would have overhauled pre-pack deals with measures designed to protect trade creditors from rogue directors using them to dump debts.
Pre-pack administrations allow firms that are about to collapse to be restructured and sold to new owners – often the existing management – without the consultation of unsecured creditors.

you also glibly ignore not only the obstacles that HMRC will put in the way but UEFA

What a fantastic weekend I’ve had,put on a stone with all that jelly and ice cream and now burning it off with all that grave dancing.
Ooh what a feeling dancing on the grave.
Flatley loyal…….

Craig Whyte already has his money from RFC, its not even in their bank account, long since gone, no this now about rewarding those who made all this possible, with their advice and guidance, Dunn & Phelps.
Dunn & Phelps can do whatever they want now, its theirs to play with.
Then its back to getting the newco formed and more profit to be shared among the inner circle. por cierto.
GSU, I believe the BBC take a feed for their stats and fixtures directly from the Press Association, whose mistakes they are often blamed for. Might need PA to update their records.
RogueLeader, perhaps, but point me in the direction of a better historical parallel?
Kojo, yes, indeed. Thank you Zsa Zsa.
Paddy Gallagher, nah, a v naughty boy.
the administrator is whytes pal was part of his takeover and been his guest in the directors box at ipox i smell another rat on the ship
