Rangers in administration without tax case

1363

There are not words powerful enough to describe today’s news.  The English language is insufficient and I have no Greek or Latin.  Rangers Football Club have today asked the Court of Session to appoint an administrator, unable to service their creditors.  The freight train of their tax tribunal has yet to hit, these events relate exclusively to how the club has operated in other areas.

Scottish Premier League rules state that clubs are deducted 10 points on going into administration, which will give Celtic a 14 point lead at the top of the table once in effect.

This is a day we have predicted will come for over three years.  It has been inevitable for that long.  Now the really interesting events will happen.

We don’t need no stinkin’ Rangers.

Up the Celts!

    Can’t speak for anyone else, but if David Murray and his media cronies hadn’t lorded it over Celtic so emphatically, and dragged Celtic’s name through the mud, during the Fergus McCann era (Saddam Hussein) and their treatment of Josef Venglos, there probably wouldn’t be so much joy at their demise, and when I say demise I mean the demise of both rangers and the daily record equally.

    Nay worries its “just a short term financial problem” Gordon Smith.

     

     

    If I was Judas I would be investing in flats

  4. “There has to be some of campaign to get this man stripped of his knighthood, if it can happen to Goodwin The Queen really should take a look at this. ”

     

     

    Love this quote on Murray from the Rangers Media forum.

  5. In these tough times lets be supporting these wee guys in small businesses who have been so shamefully, and shabbily treated by thems………

     

     

     

    Shameful.

  6. Bhoys we always knew this day was coming, Spiers,Keevins,Traynor you are all guilty, you turned a blind eye when huns were out spending us and now they will pay.

     

     

    Don’t you dare tell us we need Rangers, we do not wan’t anything to do with that tax cheating scum, we are a club open to all and if they go bust i will party like there’s no tomorrow.

     

     

    Spiers,Keevins,Traynor, you lot are just as bad as the huns, you are appealing to every football fan to let them back in for the sake of your career, well we as Celtic fans don’t need this bigoted club, never have never will, get it got it.

     

     

    The Scottish Media hang yer heads in shame, you are saying it’s ok to cheat.

     

     

    HACKS as they are known, you’ve made yer bed now go lie in it.

  7. appropriate Lyrics

     

     

    Just the first 4 verses of this lyric by Clive James/ song by Pete Atkin

     

     

    “When you see what can’t be helped go by

     

    With bloody murder in its eye

     

    And the mouth of a man put on the rack

     

    The voice of a man about to crack

     

     

    When you see the litter of their lives

     

    The stupid children, bitter wives

     

    Your self-esteem in disarray

     

    You do your best to climb away

     

    From the streaming traffic of decay

     

     

    Believing if you will that all these sick hate days

     

    Are just a kind of trick Fate plays

     

    But still behind your shaded eyes

     

    That mind-constricting thick weight stays

     

     

    When on the outskirts of the town

     

    Comes bumping cavernously down

     

    Out of the brick gateways

     

    From the faded mansion on the hill

     

    The out-of-date black Cadillac

     

    With the old man crumpled in the back

     

    That Time has not yet found the time to kill”

  8. Gerry S, hamiltontim, both of your comments were hooked, long link and long unbroken line respectively. There is a link creator on the home page.

     

     

    MWD, yes, statutory reporting requirements remain, but accounts as a going concern will not be possible under administration. An administrator will concentrate on getting cash in and accounting to creditor.

     

     

    Is Mise, amen to that.

     

     

    bankiebhoy1, cheers.

  9. You can order ice cream for delivery from Dominos, if you have any friends who would like a surprise, its only £8.99 minimum delivery.

     

     

    just saying!!!!

    Is wiggy smith getting a wage at ipox?Just found out myself/come backstronger/never heard of a warchest,no surrender yadayada

  11. West Wales Celt on

    Paul67: how much are you enjoying this????

     

    Personally, I’m rather happy but that is in the advent of scallops and a nice bottle of rioja!

  12. Hold on….if they stay at Ibrox and keep Murray Park then surely HMRC has claim to sell these assets in lieu of unpaid tax? Or do the laws of this land favour tax cheats? I’ve also seen on here that if any Newco even resembles THEM in the slightest then HMRC can pursue Newco?

     

     

    Is there a tax specialist in the house?

     

     

    Also – and purely for authenticity – we can have jelly & ice cream now, and AGAIN when they formally go into admin? and again when they meet the blender?

     

     

    Jeez. I hate brain freeze.

  13. Rangers and Hearts almost out of business and Hibernian heading for the relegation trapdoor Scottish football in big trouble. Let’s hope Celtic get invited into the EPL or the Championship.

  14. Mixed emotions tonight. Initial sheer joy has been tempered by remembering loved ones no longer with us who could only dream of a day like this. The ones who had a harder struggle than us. The ones who told us and our fathers about what Celtic stands for. The ones who seen through the sham of a football club dressed up as no more than a symbolic vehicle for sectarianism.

     

     

    As I get older the feeling of beating them has tempered from total joy to relief (Remembering happy days such as the ‘singing in the rain’ league cup final in 1982, through to the last game at Parkhead).

     

     

    I’ve grown up with this my whole life and can honestly say, if we never have to play them again, there is nothing I’ll miss.

    Was at the car autions today and the auctioneer actually announced the news, heard a bit on the radio about it and got back home to a triple cqn posting, all rounded off with a hilarious piece of Fud on Fud action on shupper shcore board. Sadly I have checked the fridge and we are out of ice cream.

  21. Paul67,

     

     

    Hope you enjoy your evening. It wasn’t only hun sites who had a go at you regarding the hun finances.
