Wee need to be looking to buy shankland in January if Celtic sign him IMO it will be one we regret! I know we are keen to offload a few which would help fund it surely not on big bucks at Dundee Utd.

14 Nov 2019 22:04:45
Huh? What you on?

14 Nov 2019 23:14:33
I'm not so sure that we do need to buy him mate👍.

15 Nov 2019 06:45:10
Celtic won't buy him either. Do his career no good 3 choice striker sitting behind a 38 year old defoe. he's already 25. Needs to be playing.

15 Nov 2019 08:06:44
Defoe is miles better than Shankland. I know they are at opposite ends of their careers but we don’t need both as they are similar types of strikers.
If Alfredo leaves in the summer then I’m sure our replacement will be of a far higher standard than the likes of Shankland.

Fund it? U really saying we need to sell to fund a wee boy?

When you consider all the people involved with the sale, administration and liquidation of the old company, how did nobody pick up on a 50 million mistake? This absolutely stinks to high heaven. I have no doubt in my mind people knew about this and said nothing for personal gain. I think there will be guys out there pitting their shants and what is about to unfold. The fight back begins here bears!

14 Nov 2019 20:10:34
Thats exactly why it never came out C, Duff phelps white etc personal gain. 👍.

14 Nov 2019 20:12:01
We will get nothing from this at all. I’ll be surprised if we even get an apology. I remember the American Robert server wanted to help us before Craig White got involved. He wanted to put the company in hibernation until all the debts where cleared and lots of fans where shouting yanks go home at him. Looks like a bad mistake now.

14 Nov 2019 22:12:08
Fair point southend ger but how would the yank have privilege information to what was going on? A lot if businessmen got involved most were crooks and in it for personal gain as came to light so why would the tank be any different? hope yank isn't defamatory it's not meant to be.

15 Nov 2019 06:41:25
Did the Yank not get involved after administration? 🇬🇧.

15 Nov 2019 06:47:05
Southend rangers, why does it look like a bad mistake now?

14 Nov 2019 13:57:49
In relation to the news broke by the Times last night concerning the overcharged tax, I feel there needs to be a public enquiry. What we're talking about is a Government Dept tasked with collecting tax effectively force a business into liquidation, leaving hundreds of businesses out of pocket, and who really knows how many jobs were lost as a result, we lost millions of pounds worth of players for nothing as they walked out the door. This is what should concern everybody, irrespective of what colours we wear.

100% SirStruth.

100% sirstruth.

14 Nov 2019 14:32:55
why did our legal people not see this?

14 Nov 2019 14:49:38
SirSturth. Correct my man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️👍.

Where are all the tax experts when you need them? At another tax experts convention?

14 Nov 2019 16:03:26
Seeker,
I think you will find they are all over in the dark side, no doubt will crawl out soon.
Cheers Brian.

14 Nov 2019 17:24:07
Surely as DEEB said our legal side would have asked for a breakdown of the exact tax bill Rangers owed come on its not rocket science something not right here as we all know we were set up and you won’t need to look too far for the culprits 🇬🇧.

The revenue issued a breakdown of my pittance so I am sure they do the same for all. Someone looked at this at HMRC, RFC and our accountants and signed it off. Did they even look at it in detail.

14 Nov 2019 18:58:42
if you were to remember we were fighting based on we didn't owe anything from a point of law. we were arguing what we did was legal and as such no TAX was owed whatsoever. also remember it wasnt the big tax bill that put us in admin it was a conceived plan of Mr White by not paying PAYE that forced us into admin. that said if the bill is 20M then for sure we would have survived, us bears and a few outside investor plowed 22M into Gers immediately after. really annoyed that if this didn't need to happen many other things wouldn't have followed ie placed in bottom tier, being ridiculed, begging for a licence, void of european nights, having to now spend money just to stop 10 in a row etc etc. disgusting and it cannot be swept under the carpet.

14 Nov 2019 19:26:27
Exactly geesa . that’s why the plan might be to bring back the old co as DK suggests . and put in a heavy heavy claim for loss of earnings etc etc . I reckon about 150 mill should cover it.

14 Nov 2019 21:09:32
We talk wanting breakdown of tax bill, remember Whyte bought our club so as to liquidate us, he had done in many time before.
Challenging what we owed would not have suited his agenda.
Remember Walter left because he was excluded from financial matters.

15 Nov 2019 09:10:49
Good Morning Deeb and John25, I think the breakdown of tax demands and indeed any refunds due is a very valid point, and if acted upon properly at the time would have saved us all of this heartache, in my opinion.

All HMRC communications do provide a detailed breakdown of how charges and refunds are calculated, so, as has been stated it shouldn't be hard to identify who exactly was at fault at Rangers during that time for not querying these figures, and those are the people that should be worried at this time. I don't believe that it will impact much at all on the existing RIFC, unless there can be a direct link shown to the costs our current incumbents have had to pay due to what can possibly be shown to be professional failure by the Board in 2011.

15 Nov 2019 13:01:28
Agree irvger my point is Hmrc would have sent breakdown, Whyte and his cohorts hid it for their own personal gain.

14 Nov 2019 10:56:52
Some of the names being thrown into the hat for the Edinburgh jobs shows Scottish football is on the up troops. Can only be good for the overall game don't you think?

14 Nov 2019 11:48:13
Like who?

14 Nov 2019 12:11:15
Only names I’ve seen is pensioners and guys that are on the brew!

14 Nov 2019 13:12:38
Oh I don't know, perhaps guys who have managed in the EPL for years and in some respects, done quite well. Always with the negative comments. All I was saying is that we are attracting (as a league) names from a bit higher up than the Irish league or the spl.
Anyhow, I bow to your greater intellect and wisdom.
I'm away to watch some paint dry.

14 Nov 2019 14:41:58
Or perhaps people desperate for a job. I would like Holloway to come up just for the banter.

14 Nov 2019 14:48:51
I don't give a van damme who manages those clubs who were complicit in our downfall.

14 Nov 2019 15:31:56
Lol daisy, brilliant sir.
I know what you mean and agree with in that respect. I'm just meaning our game seems to be a bit more high profile in the last year or so. And that can't be a bad thing. Better players can be enticed here for starters on the back of it.

14 Nov 2019 18:33:29
Cletus i have not read any news on hibs or hearts. No negative comments fron me i aas genuinley asking whos names are forward for the job?

14 Nov 2019 20:18:18
Jings is that the time of the month? I thought this was a banter page.

14 Nov 2019 09:56:27
Astonishing interview with Ross Wilson on the Rangers website. I think we're damn fortunate to have him on board.
