ed any news on the tax stories in the news papers don't know what to believe can you clarify things up for us please. {Ed032's Note - from what i know and have read is that we have an outstanding tax liability of £2.8million. And apparently an extra £1.4million penalty payment. Hope this helps}

----------------Mcgregor----------------
Whittaker--cuellar--juhasz--Wallace
Naismith---Davis---bedoya---verhoek
------lovenkrands----Jelavic------------
Subs:
Alexander
Papac
Goian
Bartley
McKay
Weiss
Lafferty
this is a team what would win games for fun.
This is a team that would go out into a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE game and go out attacking with confidence.
This is what we NEED.
We are not getting juhasz, weiss, lovenkrands or Verhoek
I would love this team to happen. I think we'd sail to the treble, i really do. But as the reply above states, we're not getting Juhasz or Vehoek and the runours about Weiss and Lovenkrands are just paper talk at this stage.
11 Aug 2011 23:08:31
Mcgregor
Bartley. Goian Wilson Wallace
Naismith. Davis. McKay Weiss?
Murphy jelavic
Strong and young defence Bartley rather than whitty
Bartley ain't a right back ya muppet
11 Aug 2011 23:05:42
all the best 2 papac hope the guy makes a speedy recovery im a celtic die hard butrivalry means fk all wen a guys health is in question get well soon
GunnieBhoy
11 Aug 2011 22:58:30
I think this teams got quite a classy look n loads a energy wot do u's think
Mcgregor
Ortiz -- cuellar -- goian -- Wallace
Bartley
Davis ---- mckay
Naismith Weiss
Jelavic
2nd team would be -
Alexander
Whittaker - broadfoot - weir - papac
McCulloch
Ness --------- edu
Bedoya wylde
Lafferty
Extras - fleck
Hutton
Healy
Defo not a bad overall squad n we only need 2 players to get there cuellar n Weiss
Ness for McKay.
Its a good idea mate... but i don't think ally is willing to play this sort of formation
11 Aug 2011 22:43:26
McKay will get his permit in the next few days, and expect to see a bid for an un-named striker. Lopez is apparently showing up well in his trial spell with us.
Also, to all bears, sign up now to the clubs new official twitter.

What makes people think lovely pants was goin re-sign? If we werent willin 2 pay 800,000 for miller we aint goin pay over 1 million for lovely pants, people need 2 sort themselves out we have a 40 million tax bill hanging us, it will be loan signings only.
Why did a £3.5million bid go in for Juhasz then?? Phud

11 Aug 2011 20:45:18
this is a list of players i think we should go for let me know what you all think .........
alexi eremenko £675,000 - £800,000
zat knight £1,000,000-£1,750,000
murray davidson £500,00-£750,000
tshabalala £1.500,000-£2,500,000
nile ranger £1,000,000-£1,750,000
the last one i know is a bit far out but have seen similar things happen in italy in the past if i were rangers manager i would offer st mirren a fast return on there outlay for nigel hasselbiank really really think he is going to be the star of the season outwith the oldfirm and i dont think st mirren would be able to knock back around£1,000,000 and i totally beleve this wee guy will go for a few million to the prem in a few seasons so why not get in there now but this time with an offer they cant refuse instead of all this opening bid of a fiver rubbish we are being forced to suffer.......
and if it was just the one major signing same as last year then i would go for nicky maynard £4,000,000-£5,000,000
this guy would be perfect for jelavic
Alright mate. Iv posted on here cpuple of days ago sayin rangers should swoop for theyoung raw tallent of nigel hassbank, hes brilliant. But no ones said anything back to me lol
Maynard would be good but the rest no.
More home grown talent than overseas garbage
I think the lad hasslebaink is a good talent too, maybe snap him up after this season, we should have signed Mehdi Touil also, eremenko
all three would have cost FA and would defo improve the squad
11 Aug 2011 20:30:45
If rangers want Murphy from motherwell they better get move on just herd watford put a bid in for him come on the gers
11 Aug 2011 20:29:08
why do we have to keep going back for guys who have been at ibrox before,,,,lovenkrands miller cuelar..... they had their chance in the blue and went to greener pastures
11 Aug 2011 20:15:32
After missing out on gary hooper newcastle will turn there attention to rangers nikita jelavic with a bid of £5 million + sammy ameobi. source- nobody just got bored and decied to make a rumour up - all the best and enjoy the season.
So is 95% of the rumours on here mate at least ur honest about it . watp
11 Aug 2011 20:10:58
Rangers have turned down the opportunity to take former player Peter Lovenkrands back to Ibrox.
Rangers have rejected the chance to bring the popular player back to the club, as they continue their pursuit of new signings with just under three weeks left in the summer transfer window.
11 Aug 2011 19:59:00
i have no worries about work permit for matt mckay as scot macdonald got 1 and he hadnt even played for austrailia .. work permit no problem ...
Scott McDonalds has scottish family tho retard.
Aye but it's just McDonald.........who's the person now Bigavelli
11 Aug 2011 19:52:11
heard that craig whyte is going to swap rangers for a full set of pogs, seems like a good deal after splashing out a pound.
Wish I had done something similar, I couldn't get a full set of teanage mutant hero turtles coin collection. My family was poor.
Whyte must b a secret tim he is making a pure fool of this proud club
If i was in your family i'd look to swap you for someone who talks less pish
11 Aug 2011 19:24:12
STV website says Rangers have turned down the chance to re-sign Lovenkrands. I've been patient,but would like to see a striker that we know can partner the Jellyfish(we all know the guys class). If we don't,then I think that no-one can have any qualms if the guy bolts. Or are we all hoping that Lavvypan will return on fire??? Even if so,we all know that we need 4 strikers.Still behind wee Sally,just wish the guy would keep his trap shut about signing players (by Monday etc.),and get somebody in that will get the fans on side. What's going 2 happen if Celtic win their first 10 games?. Fingers out lads the future's bright.
Can't you call people by their right name?
Hey mate, how are you? I am a celtic fan and obviously like a bit of banter and I hope you do not mind me answering your post. Do not worry about us winning our first 10 games - this aint gonna happen with our total failure to sign a goalie You will be fine - Zaluska will cost us points. Anyway, hope Papac recovers well.
11 Aug 2011 19:06:42
We have been absolutley pathetic in the transfer market this season, im embarrassed, and completely p****d off with Rangers, our board our chairman and Ally for bending over, and taking it all of this without saying something this bouloaune (spelling) defender is apparently atrotious, on his wiki page it says he had to be subbed in 1 game coz he was so poor, and the whole crowd booed him so hope we dont persue him, McKay looks decent, but once again going for shockingly cheap players (£250,000) and hes never played in europe, so unproven. Im sick to the back teeth of our club pussy footy about, we must have made over 50 bids for players with 95% of them bein rejected, e.g - 7 bids for Goodwillie rejected, 3 bids for verhoek rejected and 4 bids for Juhasz rejected. Its absolutley outragous And all we hear is, "dont worry we will make the signins", yeah we will make signings, but not our 1st choice, 2nd choice or even 3rd choice players we wanted in the beggining, instead were goin for players who are 4th 5th and 6th choice on our transfer list, toatally pathetic. they club say they wanted to tie deals up for cuellar (2.5Million) Verhoek (2million) Juhasz (3million) and Goodwillie (2.5million) so that = £11Million, do you really think whyte is going to spend £11Million on new players???? No chance, its all a smoke screen, so he has an excuse wen september the 1st comes and we have only spent 2-4million, he can turn round and say, "well we were prepared to spend £11Million on them 4 players, but thats football, somtimes you get the players you want, somtime u dont" I honestly dont think Rangers have a clue what to do and how to operate in the transfer market, its absolute shambles, add a rookie manager to that and things dont look good, dont get me wrong i love mccoist, pure legend, but is he letting things slide that sir Walter would'nt?? If we dont sort things out very soon, i can see Mr Whyte Being Hated by certain sections of the fans, and to be honest, if things dont get better regarding playes purchase's then i wouldnt blame them Pls post this as would love to hear if sum of my fellow bears fans feel as frustrated as i do. Thanks.
You also forgot to take into account the money that's been brought in with Adams sell on clause and bougherras fee as well, almost get the impression that we under bid for players so they(management) can say they tried to get them , it's just an opinion looking from the outside that's all.
I agree with every thing uve said and what th hell is gordon smith ment 2 b doing [spambo]
If you think our dealings so far have bad wait to you see the pish we end up with when we get closer to the when the transfer window closes and they start to panic buy.
Remember Ally told us he had made up two lists of players he wanted. One for if the club got sold and one for if the bank were still in control. Well its beginning to look like hes running out of ideas.
Cheer up mate. It could be worse. You could be a giro pirate septic fan
11 Aug 2011 19:04:04
lovenkrands not coming
stv
good move gers i say.
Handy bench player
11 Aug 2011 19:03:07
Rangers have turned down the chance to re-sign
Peter lovenkrands What do you make of that?
11 Aug 2011 18:59:36
Liverpool defender Danny Wilson has revealed that he would welcome a loan move back to former club Rangers.
Let him rot he would have been 1st pick by now let us down
Isn't it funny how ex players think the grass is greener elsewhere and then a couple of years later beg to come back?
11 Aug 2011 18:37:33
Lovenkrands would be awesome if he came back but I highly doubt it. I know his wife is from Glasgow so I dont know. He hasnt lost any of his attributes, pacey, skillful and can score. Great player when with us. He loved a goal against Celtic.
Rory
11 Aug 2011 18:32:13
20 days left still not any were near with players been said nothing happens till about now but quit should be somone before the wkend

mcgregor whitty cullar bartley wallace naismith davis makay templeton jelavic murphy subs alexander papac ortiz edu lafderty
Thats the team id have m8 nice1
Same but ness for McKay.
We need young, local players rather than overseas players.
I don't think McKay will get work permit anyway.
11 Aug 2011 17:32:23
Danny wilson stating on SSN Transfer Clockwatch that he may have to consider a loan move this season to boost his international career.
11 Aug 2011 17:22:13
I think lovenkrands would be a great signing. He has a knack of scoring goals against the better teams including the celts, he also scored some very important goals in europe. He can also play wide left or thru middle and I would imagine the fee would be reasonable. Think he would be a very good addition
11 Aug 2011 17:14:20
Celtic fan hear .. hope sasa papac the best of recoveries hope in a few weeks he will be back on the park for rangers ... and also hope the rumour of jelavic is not true great player and we love seeing these players in the spl ( hope he dosent play well against us tho) anyway thanks ed for letting me post all the best against ict this week
11 Aug 2011 17:04:29
any one now when makay likey tae get a work permit
11 Aug 2011 16:58:27
Thought Danny Wilson was a stick out last night, dont know if loan is poss. but would be really pushing to find out.
A loan deal would be possible, but we have not shown any interest in him. We could do alot worse than Wilson and Bartley at the back. We are looking at players with experience which is good, but with that comes problems with fitness. Example Gioan. Wilson would love to go back to Rangers
Wilson strolled the game last night and i'd love it if he were still a Ger, but all these loan moves worry me personally. At the end of the season he goes back to Liverpool, Bartley goes back to Arsenal, Weir retires and we're back at square one. I don't mind a couple of loan signings but Whyte indicated he had money to spend and we are entitled to ask questions about all these apparent loan deals.
Would have him back in a minute
If he came i would play him alongside Goian with Bartley in front of the back four in a 4-1-4-1.
11 Aug 2011 16:56:25
Naismith would be first pic for either up front either wing or sitting infront of mid field
I agree, Naismith is a great wee player, always try's his hardest and has an eye for goal. He will just get better and better. Future Rangers captain if we can keep hold of him.
Big Blue
11 Aug 2011 16:52:29
I want rangers to have a young exciting mainly brittish team.
Team:
Mcgregor
Whittaker Bartley cuellar Wallace
Weiss ness Davis. Templeton
Naismith
Jelavic
All permanent except Bartley
Cost 5m
Weiss £3.5m
Templeton £1.5m
Also murphy £875k
Opinions please
Great team i wish ally would listen to these sites
Templeton doubtful hearts will sell him to us, murphy has there even been any contact again doubtful, Weiss already been stated that Mancini wont let him back, cuellar still in the balance , good idea but just looks like no more money to spend or at least a reluctance to spend.
11 Aug 2011 16:44:31
I think rangers should go for david trezeguet , he would be a free transfer
And on massive wages.
Aye and on over 50k a week
Sombody like stoke city have got tresegat
Over the hill and far away. Dunkie Bear
11 Aug 2011 16:44:12
i know murphys family quite well all celtic daft but would not mind him signing for rangers but obviously would prefer him signing for the tims
Murphy's a true blue so you don't know that much.
Family r bears
But they're no sellick daft... stop talking colin nish eh
11 Aug 2011 16:40:44
Although I was gutted we missed out on K Miller, I think we have had some good business in transfer window thus far.
IN: Ortiz £500k, Goian £500k, Wallace £1.5m,
McKay £325k
Out: Bougherra £1.7m, sell on clause Adam £800k
Net spend £325k
New contracts for Davis and McGregor are great signings
I only wish we swapped Whittaker for Kenny Miller then bought a new Right Back even Hutton for £3m if he would return.
I dont think Goodwillie is worth £2m (YET) but obviously he is potentially worth double that, and if King Carlos returns we will have a better squad than last year and they done well with only points dropped in middle of season when we were involved in EVERY competition and had a backlog of games and both our main hitmen were away for half a season each.
Jelavic top scorer in Europa league 33/1 worth a few quid I think as is Kenny Miller at 25s for Championship goalden boot.
Stop critisising Whyte when he has saved us and doesn't want it happening again fair play I say.
Gwak1873
Goian cost 800k so your 300k out.
11 Aug 2011 16:40:41

Just like to wish Papac a speedy recovery....Miko
11 Aug 2011 16:03:32
Anymore talk of us pursuing the guy Benalouane. He looks good but I doubt he would be good for the dressing room.
Seems a bit like Bougherra or Boumsong. Thought they better than they were.
Boumsong walked the SPL
11 Aug 2011 15:55:32
I dont know why ur so surprised about daily record makin stories up, this is the same paper that said egger davids was joining dundee few years back. Ha, wee message 2 all the tims put the prayer mats away jelevic aint got a knee injury. Plus were is all this money u are meant 2 have?
Us Tims don't need to make 7 bids for a player who was never going to sign for you anyway. Where is all Rangers money.... Bougy away for £1.7 and you sign an Aussie for £250k..... I take it your keeping the rest for the tax man...
Hail Hail
DavieBhoy
Once again we have an example of one of the dark side talking as if they had won 3IAR.
That keeper u ave bid 3 times pal an still not got him
Davie bhoy what happened to your Hooper worth more than Jelavic £4million and a 50p keeper think you will find your mob just grabbed it with both grubby paws
How long u been after that crap goalie
The reason DavieBhoy comes on the Gers site is because its so dull over at darkheed he needs to come to the Gers site for a bit of excitment now and then and just for the record DavieBhoy it should be Fail Fail as we are going to be Champs again 4 in a row
Daviebhoy stick to worrying about 2nd place fc .looks like the new polish holy goalie is going to genk ya gonk lol .....bigt
11 Aug 2011 15:52:34

Id rather naismith to ortiz

INJURY UPDATE
Papac Not Serious
11-08-2011
SASA PAPAC will miss Saturday's trip to Inverness but Rangers are keen to point out that he does NOT have pneumonia.
Close friend Nikica Jelavic is expected to shake off a knee knock to take on Terry Butcher's side and Dorin Goian could also be back but the match in the Highlands is probably too soon for Davie Weir.
Papac travelled to Bosnia earlier this week with the intention of ending his international exile but felt unwell and was immediately ruled out of the game with Greece.
He will return to Murray Park where he will be assessed by the medical team who have confirmed that he does not have pneumonia, contrary to reports elsewhwere today.
Papac won't be ready to face Inverness and is suspended for next Thursday's Europa League Play-off first leg with Maribor after two yellow cards in the Champions League qualifier with Malmo.
However, he could be back to take on Motherwell at Fir Park on Sunday, August 21.
Jelavic, meanwhile, suffered a slight knee knock in the friendly with Chelsea last weekend but he is on target to play at Inverness.
Dorin Goian and Davie Weir have been working with the physios all week as they recover from hamstring strains and it is the Romanian centre back who has the better chance of playing on Saturday.
Rangers have also to make a decision on whether Steven Whittaker can play as he has a broken toe.
11 Aug 2011 13:54:19
MCKay agrees terms, just to sort out work permit
Looked very tidy against Wales could be a gem, never know
11 Aug 2011 13:47:08
Just a wee thought fellow bears but its clear we need a winger with pace and that can score goals so why have we not snapped up Loveenkrands it seems a no brainer to me to be honest
Lovenkrands is not a winger he is a striker who had i repeat had pace and a very very average finish
He was actually brought in as a winger the first time he was at rangers but then he become a striker before he left
11 Aug 2011 13:34:25
I only tell it like I see it. If others see it different then so be it. It's good to talk. :-)
I'm no a religious man. "Blind faith" don't appeal to me. I believe in what I can see, and so far, it hasn't been much.
Maybe there is a great plan, Epl squads need to be announced sometime soon etc. so some quality players will no doubt become available. Signings made at the last minute need not be duff quite clearly and people can cite the odd example. I would say generally it's obviously advantageous if you have a measured approach in the transfer market. Identify three or four you want and go and get them. Of course you won't necessarily get them all, some clubs will possibly be difficult to deal with etc. but so far Rangers have allegedly pursued twelve or more, and secured three- Bartly a loan. So two from eleven really. As has been said, we can't categorically say arrivals were inadequate until the window shuts. It's my opinion that the way we've gone about things so far has been pure farce though and I personally don't believe it will all come right, though I obviously hope it does.
It will be a frustration if we lose the league when just a few additions I think would do us as the other lot really aren't up to much. If Whyte has the cash he needs to back the manager.
Randolph True Blue
Wallace,goian,bodoya,ortiz,bartley,mckay? stupid does that count up to 2 out of 11 ya muppet.
U mould all those plaers into 1 an u wonuldnt make a guid fitba player

Afternoon Ed047 I came on to say that i wish Papac speedy recovery but now hear he is not seriously ill thank goodness. Anyway I would just like to say it is heartening all the good will messages that he and Izziguirre received from both set of fans. This is when the genuine football fan comes to the fore. So rangers fans from me Timalloy, well done for all the good wishes for izzy.( Ps dont get too used to the praise i will be back another day to annoy you all as usual) Hail hail timalloy {Ed032's Note - deserves to go on all pages}
11 Aug 2011 13:22:17

11 Aug 2011 12:44:25
Whyte should employ Harry Potter to conjure up some kind of magic on the transfer front and get rid of that diddy Gordon Smith(supposedly helping Super Ally). Dunkie Bear
Could not agree more, just what is his role.
Gordon Smith is supposedly involved in transfer policy, the youth academy and overseeing scouting. Dunkie Bear
11 Aug 2011 12:35:16
after the travesty of missing out on goodie rangers must not miss out on murphy.
Travesty? right after he signed for blackburn he was average? not worth the 2 million you couldnt afford to pay
11 Aug 2011 12:25:45
Fed up with our negative attitude towards the lesser teams in the SPL. We are Glasgow Rangers and should be attacking these guys Kyle Lafferty cost more than the whole squad of a bottom six team so although we aren't full of quality we're style miles away from everyone else but Celtic and if we can beat the rest with positive football then pump the manky mob when it matters we'll be fine.
I think a 3-5-2 is the attacking formation we need and that would also hopefully lift the damp squib atmosphere we have had to deal with at Ibrox for to long now. Here's the team I reckon we should play with the squad available at present.
Shagger
Bartley-Weir-Goian
Whittaker-Davis-Mculloch-Ness-Wallace
Naismith-Jelavic
Strong attacking team with options to change if the match isn't going our way. Agree, Disagree? And any thoughts Ed?
Got to have papac in there when he recovers
Your team is mince mate, are you wattie smith in disguise. why play basically 5 at the back, with 6 defensive palyers in your starting line up?
go with the same formation that was scoring goals for fun during the run in last season
bigstevie
Papac is distinctly average mate
Well if you read the post mate you'd see it's not a 5-3-2 as Whittaker and Wallace would be told to play as wingers and attack. It's only defensive if that's how you play Could still have Naismith on the wing with Laff up front if you wanted. Point im making is we should attack and we DO have options.
Oh aye and defo bring back Danny Wilson
Hahah.... Papac is quality, away back tae your own page pal
SASA, OH SASA PAPAC RUNS DOWN THE WING FOR ME
11 Aug 2011 12:10:26
We should be looking at some decent prospects for the future such as Marko Milinkovic or Eyal Golasa. Both attainable in my opinion.
There are sum rite miserable no hopers on here but by far the worst is randolph the apparent true blue, everything this guy writes is doom n gloom. Mon tae f*** guys kp the heads up. We r the champions and cum the end of the season we will b again. 4 in a row
Im not saying things are gloom and doom. Just stating potential transfer targets and what you think of these guys?
11 Aug 2011 11:56:43
Would love to have Weiss back at
Ibrox.
But it won't happen, Man City don't
want him playing in SPL.
So waste of time posting Ally wants
him.
Going to be tough game against ICT,
2-0 TO THE GERS.
Blue bells are blue
Maybe they will sell weiss for £2-3 million as he prob won't get in the Man City first team for a while if atall.
If weisse hadnt stated his love for rangers would you waant him back because everytime i seen him he was average
Every time I saw him he was on the bench
11 Aug 2011 11:54:15
Pneumonia my ar*e, these news papers are lying scum, anything to get a story, they played a big part in the Goodwillie saga, had ally played his cards a bit closer to his chest, then they would have had to do what the do best make stories up such as this one, yes anything to sell the papers, scum that’s what they are.
I enjoy this the Rangers rumours and banter, some times its actually more believable than the bloody news papers, then again some of the posts are so far out it’s highly ammising.
Im a celtic fan but i think we should boycott these papers. disgusting that they would make up something like this
11 Aug 2011 11:53:06

Are we no well on the way to adding to the list of notables you name: nuno capucho, egil ostenstad et al when we have to take whatever dross is left at the end of the window?
Presumably our top targets were pursued first?
I wouldn't confuse complete and utter ineptitude in the transfer market to date with some grand, considered plan that shall result in no last-minute rubbish signings. On the contrary, I'd suggest we're well along the road to a few more, as each day passes with heehaw happening.
Randolph True Blue
Can i point out we got steve davis on loan at the last minute.
For some strange reason the ed never posts my replies to you randolph ..... over the last 2 weeks i aint seen a single positive remark bout the gers from you, we have no idea what will happen at least keep your moaning til after the transfer window wen u actually have cause.. Naismith & davis are twp straight off the top of my head as last minute deals.
{Ed047's Note - there are quite a few Eds not just one. There are a number of reason s why things don't get posted - abusive, sectarian, utter crap and people who try to reply by using a new post rather than reply to this rumour link

SASA PAPAC will miss Saturday's trip to Inverness but Rangers are keen to point out that he does NOT have pneumonia.
Close friend Nikica Jelavic is expected to shake off a knee knock to take on Terry Butcher's side and Dorin Goian could also be back but the match in the Highlands is probably too soon for Davie Weir.
Papac travelled to Bosnia earlier this week with the intention of ending his international exile but felt unwell and was immediately ruled out of the game with Greece.
He will return to Murray Park where he will be assessed by the medical team who have confirmed that he does not have pneumonia, contrary to reports elsewhwere today.
Papac won't be ready to face Inverness and is suspended for next Thursday's Europa League Play-off first leg with Maribor after two yellow cards in the Champions League qualifier with Malmo.
However, he could be back to take on Motherwell at Fir Park on Sunday, August 21.
Jelavic, meanwhile, suffered a slight knee knock in the friendly with Chelsea last weekend but he is on target to play at Inverness.
Dorin Goian and Davie Weir have been working with the physios all week as they recover from hamstring strains and it is the Romanian centre back who has the better chance of playing on Saturday.
Rangers have also to make a decision on whether Steven Whittaker can play as he has a broken toe.

I hope whitty does not play as he will do what he usually does and sells the jerseys

I would be happy to see us line up on saturday with:
Greggs
Whittaker Bartley Goian Wallace

Naismith Jelevic
ICT Shipped 3 goals to Dunfermline, we must go and attack there defence.
East Enclosure Loyal
Get the feeling it will be a Davis - Edu - Mcculloch - Ortiz midfield

11 Aug 2011 11:00:26
Papac doesnt have pneumonia, will miss Saturday's game though and is suspended for the Maribor game next Thursday, should be back the following week.
Jelavic should be ok for Saturday.
Goian working with physios hoping to be ready for the weekend.
Whittaker has a broken toe and may miss out on Saturday.

In the Sun today that the contents of the ibrox trophy room would be valued if we lose the appeal against HMRC..
I don't know about the rest of you fellow bluenoses but I would fight to protect ibrox and it's contents from tees vultures - if it comes to it, EVERY Rangers fan should be at ibrox and see if the taxman can get through us {Ed001's Note - you do realise that the Sun are not exactly honest don't you? It is standard procedure to value the assets of any company that owes money to HMRC, stop stressing. It will only matter if no agreement is made to pay the money, that would be months down the road yet.}
The 2.8m bill has been settled according to ssn today. I was referring to the huge bill we are appealing at tribunal currently
We need to fight to protect the club if we lose this as we will go bust
Why should Rangers Tax liability be treated any differently to anyone else. Theres enough people tax dodging out there and people who pay their taxes are the one's who end up having to make up for the shortfall. The vultures as you call them are only doing their job. Rangers will only have themselves to blame if they end up with a massive bill. Nobody likes paying Tax but thats life.

Get off Whyte and Ally’s backs over
transfers.
Remember in the past we had to
boost a thin squad, with last minute
signings.
Nuno Capucho, Egil Ostenstad,
Emerson, Olivier Bernard, Dan Eggen,
Jose-Karl Pierre-Fanfan,
Nuno Capucho, Kevin Muscat,
Paolo Vanoli, Dragan Mladenovic,
Karl Svensson, Francis Jeffers,
Amdy Faye, Ian Murray,
Andrius Velicka, Alan Gow and
Andy Webster to name a few.
Blue bells are blue
Fingers crossed we don’t make the same mistakes again and rush in.
I thought mladenovic was ok but i agree with the rest
11 Aug 2011 09:31:05
Watched the scotland game last nite n thought that morrison and naismith would be excellent just off jelavic. I posted the initial rumour about a bid that included wylde to wba as part of the morrison deal and although it wasn't a cert the thought of morrison at ibrox really, really excites me Imagine this team.
Mcgregor
Whittaker
Goian
Cuellar
Wallace
Bartley (dmc)
Ness
Davis
Naismith and morrison either side just off jelavic.
Thoughts? You would have bartley as your ball winner, davis and ness who are comfortable in possesion and can pick a pass and 2 really good wide men who can drop back to midfield in europe and play advanced in spl
Finally, someone with half a clue about formations.
The 4-1-4-1 formation is one of my football manager favs, just so long as naismith and morrisson did play wide... if not it turns into more of a 4-1-2-2-1 and thats no good. Like to see morrison at ibrox... anyone know if he's a bluenose? {Ed032's Note - as far as i'm aware he was brought up in darlington and has no old firm allegiences, it was his grandparents that were scottish.}
11 Aug 2011 09:29:29
Get off Whyte and Ally’s backs over
transfers.
How to waste money
We spent £25 million on:
Tore Andre Flo, Jesper Christiansen,
Marcus Gayle, Christian Nerlinger,
and Michael Ball.
I rest my case.
Blue bells are blue
Shut it, I liked Nerlinger. The rest were duff right enough.
Tore Andre Flo was a great player, just think we over spent on him.
11 Aug 2011 09:21:02
How would the rangers fans feel
about a grounshare with celtic if
the stadium was seized for tax payment
it would be better than losing the club would it not?
U aff yir heed
11 Aug 2011 09:19:27
Anyone else worried aout the ict game, always get a tough game and we are way to short on defenders... No weir, goian, papac, bougy, leaves for me backbfour of wallace bartley perry/jig ortiz/mcmillen
I know Whitts has had a duff start to the season, but I'd still have him in my team just now.
11 Aug 2011 09:17:40
50 worst signings made by Premier
League clubs since its inception in
1992, based on the size of transfer
fee and impact made by the player.
No 45 Georgios Samaras,
Heerenveen to Manchester City,
£6m, January 2006
A lack of goals led to Stuart Pearce’s
sacking as manager and the Greece
striker was among the chief culprits.
Will history repeat itself at Parkhead.
Blue bells are blue
If it was the the spl there wud only be 1 man 4 that crown..... toro andre cash flo
And in Scotland
No 1 - Torre Andre Flo to Rangers.
Althought flo cost 12 million hardly think he was the worst signing in spl history considering he scored 30+ goals in a season.Dont get me wrong was playing in great team just we were expecting miracles due to the fee which was not his fault. If it had been 6 million at that time no one would have batted an eyelid . Still a decent return for a striker can't think of that many who hit 30 a season . Boyd , Larsson , Negri , Mcoist .Hardly worst signing in history even with the huge fee
The most he scored was 22 goals5 mill loss after 2 yearsstart off our debt problems
The most he scored as 22 goals? hmmm, i beg to differ. in his first season he had 23 appearances and scored 13, in his second season he had 51 appearances and scored 27 goals and before he left he had 11 appearances and scored 2, so in total of 85 appearances he score 42, which in my opinion is a really terrible return.
Bluenose1873
Well thats not what a seenwas nt worth 12 mill anyway
Not to mention the 2.8M tax bill relates to his and deboer transfers etc, so he's still costing the club money

Jelavic Vittek
Subs:

Broadfoot (or other replacment)
McCullough

I think this is the most probable but i understand if we get the targets in we want it may be significantly different.
Only 2 under 21 players there, i thought you needed 3
Aye but thats not the full squad
11 Aug 2011 08:25:31
my team next year...
shagger

naismith, davis, mckay/bedoya, wylde
jela, lafferty
alexander, whitty, ness, hutton, bendikkson
Greegsy
Bartley Goian Papac
Whitts Naisy Davis Mackay Wallace
Jelavic Lafferty ( J. Murphy )
A 3-5-2 formation with two attacking full backs, and this selection offers the opportunity to go 4-4-2, depending on the opposition, and competition. There will always be a place for young J. Ness in my team, but he needs a wee bit more experience, so need to blood him in gradually and selectively, but a future star and poss' Captain of Rangers. The subs can be taken from any of the remaining squad members.....4 inarow
11 Aug 2011 07:57:57
why do we continue to buy players who can play in 2 or 3 posistions, most of the time they never play in there rightful position and end up being half the player they could be. charlie adam, rino gattuso, steve davis etc. ally buy a right back to play at right back , a left winger to play on the left wing and if the left winger gets injured bring in a left winger from the reserves, do not put a left back on the wing. play players in there rightfull position and give them a chance. denzil
Professional players, if they are any good, should be able to play a variety of positions. I do agree that players should be either left sided, or right sided with the ability to play defence and midfield. Two footed players with two good stong feet, are rare and are generally midfielders, or strikers. In the end m8, you should able to just go out and play at that level, some guy's do look like they would rather be somewhere else if not played in their " rightful " positions, only my opinion. 4 inarow
When you have a small squad it is useful to hvae players that can fill in elsewhere, as far as gattuso that was advocat being an idiot and putting him at right back didnt fit in with his dutch total football midfield.
No mate, you buy players to play a certain position because you want to play a certain style of football and having the right players in the right positions should enable you to do that.
In a perfect world you'd have 2 good players for each position, When 1 drops out, the other comes in.
In our situation it's handy to have a couple of guys that are versatile to fill in the gaps, but only if your desired 1st team aren't all available.
Though the down side is it restricts the blooding of youth.

Anybody know if the septic PLC annual report has been issued yet as its normally out in August, remember they were 9.09 million in debt to the bank in December wee lemmon had his we buy any player policy and no european money into the kitty last season. To all the bears that are in a panic, who have been their big signings this year?
It is due on the 13th August
..Think you,ll find celtic were £14.7 million net debt last year...and with more bad news to come rumour has it celtic are in debt to the tune of nearly £30million...head in the sand for a lot of the bhoys me thinks..
Celtics debt is all underwritten by Dermot Desmond, which ensures the club would never end up being run by the banks, Hearts are in debt to the tune of 20 odd million and their debt is underwritten by Romanov. Its highly unlikely that either club would find themselves in the same position as Rangers were in with the bank running the club. Desmond and Romanov would be liable to service these debts should the clubs be unable to pay. Very different from Rangers position.
Ur right rangers are debt free ya muppet.
They may no longer owe the Bank but Rangers are not debt free
Not interested in celtic or their debt,only interested in rangers on the pitch,titles,cups,performances,off the pitch stability.
Why have we lost the tax case? the 18 million was transfered to one of whytes companies.
11 Aug 2011 01:58:56

greggsy
Whittaker Bartley Gion Papac/Wallace
Naismith Davis Mcculloch Wylde
Jelavic Big Laf
ps hope we get some quality signings in instead of bench warmers and hope ur well soon Papac
That canny be right, you have full backs playing at full back, midfielders playing in midfield what have you been smokin
Sounds a bit crazy having everybody playing in their correct positions but WTH lets try it, might work
11 Aug 2011 00:57:08
Papac we love you, get well soon.
WATP
How long will he be out, any doctors?
Hope he has a quick and easy recovery
11 Aug 2011 00:55:35
As a proud Tim and Irishman I would like to wish Papac and Izzagurrie a sppedy recovery.
11 Aug 2011 00:41:18
think a good team would be
Mcgregor
cuellar juhasz dorin
bartley
davis ness bedoya verhoek
naismith
Jelavic
what are your thoughts ed and other ppl
Just brilliant mate 4 central defenders. exciting stuff. {Ed032's Note - Does look like a good side, however, the interest in juhasz is set to cool down and we are looking at other targets. Verhoek looks like he is staying in Holland as he has apologised to both Rangers and Forest for wasting their time. I would also like to see Wallace in there somewhere.}
I'd much rather see a 3-5-2
Shagger
Cuellar - Goian - Bartley
Whitt - Mackay - Davis -Bedoya -Wallace
Jelavic -Lafferty ( another )
11 Aug 2011 00:27:44
I'm not saying that these are going to happen but i have a list of some strikers rangers should buy and they will probably be cheap:
Adam Le Fondre - Rotheram - 24
Jaye Rodriguez - burnley - 22
jamie murphy - motherwell - 21
johnny russel - dundee utd - 21
reply to this post to add to the list.
Click believable if you agree and unbelievable if you smell.

Jelavic to have an MRI scan on his knee after he picked up a knock against Chelsea. He may miss a number of games.....
Rubbish
It isn't rubbish - it is in the papers now
And its on the rangers web site he is fine and should play against ict so it is rubbish.

Rumour has it that if Rangers were to go down paying 20m plus with the tax avoidance that the whole of the EPL teams will be probed into by HMRC Now that would be a DISASTER {Ed032's Note - How do you know this?}
To clarify this. We are being probed in to payments made to offshore accounts for players in the past 10 years this figure is around 24million. Several English Premier League clubs are also said to be under investigation for purportedly using similar means to save their players thousands of pounds in taxes each month. Rangers offered to settle out of court to the tune of 10 million however HMRC refused as they are looking for 5 times that amount due to fines and fees should Rangers be found guilty. The 2.4 million is a completely different tax bill which is being dealt with by Mr Whyte and hes has always stated his intention of paying this debt. Walker Love entered Ibrox yesterday on instruction from HMRC which was branded as nothing more than a PR stunt as MR Whyte and his lawyers were in London speaking with HMRC at the time.
Source: Google: Rangers hit back at Taxman read the story published this morning
Surely if Rangers were willing to settle out of court then they must be liable in the ongoing Tax investigation. Craig Whyte claims they will win this case so who do we believe. I.R I reckon. Craig Whyte has also stated that If they lose the tax case, administration is a possible option.
Do you honestly think whyte would have bought rangers if he thought we where going to loose the case??
We'll soon find out.
