Old Lumley-troubled used a classic rhetorical technique yesterday. Give your target audience lots of points to consider which you know they will agree with; build empathy, get heads nodding, fists banging on tables, then slip in the line you are trying to sell. As a piece of prose, you have to respect the statement. This guy, or his writer, has not only read the Greeks, he’s understood their importance.
If Sir David is right, Rangers issued no side contracts, all non-discretionary payments to players in connection to football were registered, if the redacted contract which appeared in The Sun in March was a piece of fiction, if the prima facie evidence presented by Duff and Phelps was an error, he and his soon to be liquidated former club have nothing to worry about.

Darren Anderton to sign for Sevco
Oh well nothing to see here then, so let’s move along,
But why is Sir Murky, Ally and big Eck all talking about it…. IF there’s nothing to worry about, why not sit back and let the SPL make a fool of them themselves???
@Obaoighill86 RT @RobbieSavage8: I’m going to glasgow next week!! please be signing for The Rangers. Twitter.
Wtf.

Im sure these “loans”will be paid back to Minty, in Wonga type interest rates.
Newco sign Sandaza, Emilson and Kyle. Why are folk getting worked up about these 3 players they are not that good. Â
Lee Sharpe, Neil Ruddock and Mark Bosnich to join the Sevco dissolution
Was the Sun headline today:

interesting. You obviously also think Arsene Wenger talks nonsense then, as he will only sign players according to certain characteristics – height, weight, speed etc. he looks for technically good players, but if they don’t fit his physical criteria, he doesn’t touch them. Apparently he has been criticised for ignoring some good players, who simply didn’t have the right physical attributes.
Personally I would suggest that wenger knows a bit more about modern football than you do, but then again – maybe I’m wrong – maybe it is you who is the expert.
Bada Bong,
they cant be signing for newclub then, I hear they are using the PDSA at cowcaddens now for medicals :oD)))
savage spooted at cowcaddens is one I expect to see soon:o)
Shouldn’t that read “What’s the collective noun for a team full of crooks”???
David Murray has categorically denied the improper use of EBTs.
He has also taken NASA to task for attempting to dupe us all with barmy notions of a spherical earth.
Finally, he has re-emphasised that the Big Hoose must stay open, as it was formed from coal via the magic of King William of Orange and the Loch Ness Monster.
Next they’ll be signing John Bishop and that boy from the Royle Family.
Luxcelt,
remind me of his trophy haul
Collective nouns….
Is it a crock of crooks or a crook of crocks???
I hear the mission to mars is an attempt to find a league they qualify to play in
The last time Kevin Kyle was fit to play for Hearts was January 2011.

Antti Muurinen says HJK Helsinki are “the underdogs and all the pressure is on Celtic” …
the ole mind games have had their day.
why is kevan kyle a celtic supporter signing for them. and why has zandanza changed his mind .why are they being allowed to sign for them.
Sorry Paul67, I have to disagree with the idea that there are any circumstances in any of this that remove Minty’s need to worry.
OLDCO WIN THE TAX CASE – payments were non-contractual – Rangers therefore made non-contractual payments to players in breach of SPL rules.
OLDCO LOSE THE TAX CASE – payments were contractual – Rangers therefore entered into a separate contract with players which was not disclosed in breach of the one contract rule and, separately, made payments to players outwith their contract in breach of the prohibition on payments outwith the registered contract.
It seems clear that the payments to Rangers players were not detailed in their main contracts registered with the SFA/SPL. This would have led to the shortest First Tier Tribunal process in its fairly short history. It also seems fairly clear that the payments were not otherwise disclosed to the SFA/SPL as they would have been non-contractuial payments and action would presumably (stop laughing at the back) have been taken against them immediately following disclosure.
There appears to have been an number of undisclosed payments to players by Oldco and there may also have been a number of second contracts entered into between Oldco and a number of their players. If this is indeed the case, and it is difficult to see otherwise, then there is a breach of SPL rules and the charges must proceed now.
If allegations of cheating have no foundation then Edinburgh Castle has no foundation. If Rangers could afford to pay these players (including tax) there was no need for the EBT scheme. It follows, that they couldn’t afford those players and accordingly skipped paying tax in order to fund their employment. But for the EBT scheme Rangers would have fielded a vastly weakened team over the past 12 years.

Even if they don’t quality, BFDJ would still take them to win it.
“I have had a look at the physio and medical centre at Murray Park and am very impressed” says Sevco new signing Winstone Bogarde.
The Govan Galacticos are gatherin’ strength, and an impressive collection of MRI scans.
Hamiltontim.
Thanks for that.
Just got my computer fixed,it wasn’t the computer that was broken,it my telephone line.£60 to get the imaginery problems solved on the computer,and £75 to get the house re-wired with telephone lines,problems solved .
Sevco plan.
Generate interest by signing SPL standard players.
Conduct a share issue.
Pocket a few million and then disappear over the horizon.
The new owners of ‘The rangers’ then left with a club that is paying out SPL expenses whilst generating Third Division income.
Green & Whyte sip more champagne and laugh loudly at the stupid huns…

Are you serious? Trophy haul or not – the guy is paid millions of pounds to look after one of the richest football clubs in the world, and has kept his job for years….. and you are suggesting that some punter on CelticQuickNews knows more than him???
Laughable.
The Auchenhowie All Stars have approached several members of the cast of Casualty to see if they are interested in joining their medical team.
