Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.

If hearts still owe money to HMRC and are looking for a CVA, surely events last year where HMRC stated they will not accept a CVA from a football club are a good indication that Hearts will end up in liquidation and the same boat as ourselves.
What happens to the SPL then? Not that I give a t*ss but are interested from our clubs perspective.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

HMRC have little say in Hearts administration/liquidation as they are not the major creditor. They can't force liquidation but the two banks can

Agree0 Disagree0

Would mean the same for Dunfermline, who have offered 1p in the pound. Much lower than the 10p in the pound chales green offered with his cva

Agree0 Disagree0

The difference is that HMRC are not Hearts' major creditor and so will have no real say in whether a CVA is accepted.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not giving a toss but interested?

Agree0 Disagree0

The problem with HMRC, in the Ranger's case was that they the ''supposed'' largest creditor. The ruling on the 'big tax case' proved otherwise. One of the problems with these situations is that claimed debts are treated as valid.

Agree0 Disagree0

It was national insurance and PAYE that upset HMRC not corporate tax or vat.

Agree0 Disagree0

To 6] Maybe, but it was the amount of money involved in the 'big tax case' that made them the largest creditor.
billyb

Agree0 Disagree0

Hearts owe 500,000 paye to HMRC due on Friday & there is no money to cover this.

Agree0 Disagree0

You are wrong about HMRC having to go along with CVA. Tax debt is different to any other debt that why it is not time barred. Even if CVA agreed HMRC can demand full & final payment & Invoke a wynding up order. They may do this straight await to protect their positon should the PAYE go unpaid beyond tomorrows dealine. Hearts are destined to be a Newco.

Agree0 Disagree0

@7/Dont be so silly. The BTC was undecided so had nothing to do with it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hmrc has given hearts lots of extensions to payments.

Agree0 Disagree0

HMRC are not the major creditor.

Agree0 Disagree0

By entering administration hearts are now protected from anyone taking action against them including HMRC. It is the administrators job to sort it out on behalf of the creditors.
As Romanov owns the floating charge for Tynecastle most or all of the money will go to his companies.

Agree0 Disagree0

To 10] I don't think you understood the comments. The problem is just what you agree is the case i. e. When establishing the amounts due, the sums are based on a companies claims not what has been agreed as valid. [ these sums establish voting rights in the liquidation process. ]
billyb

Agree0 Disagree0

@14: but the BTC had nothing to do with liquidation!

Agree0 Disagree0

To 15] Obviously due to the amount involved, potential bidders were frightened to take it on. So it did sway the balance.

Been hearing rumours that walter and a few others want martin bain back I for one hope this is not true I don't want that money grabbing rat back near our club. Ross

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Martin Bain can not come back as he was CEO when rangers had an insolvency event (administration. )
He is banned from holding a position at ibrox for 5 years

Agree0 Disagree0

@1 so is walter, ban only in effect on liquidation complete AND directors found to have acted illegally, keep up

Agree0 Disagree0

@1
Not sure if your point is accurate.
Re: "Martin Bain was CEO when Rangers had insolvency event"
Martin Bain was suspended days after CW took over, and subsequently fired. Whyte was told, probably by SDM that MB was against his takeover. I think i'm correct in saying that this was around May 2011. Therefore prior to the club entering administration.
P. O. B.

Agree0 Disagree0

@3/Then it will depend on when he was officially let go.

Agree0 Disagree0

The rule is any office holder up to 12 months before the insolvency event date. This is to catch the directors who know its coming and bail out beforehand to avoid the five year rule.

Agree0 Disagree0

SFA can use their discretion to allow him to come back.

Hearts go into administration does that mean that the players can refuse to transfer to anew owner and leave like Davis Wylde ect.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Wylde left at the start of administration voluntarily. Rangers let him go to save money/wages. Davis left freely because Rangers were liquidated. They went BUST. Hearts have not been liquidated and, therefore, are the same company/club. They are the same as Rangers were as of February 2012 (deducted 10 points, Hearts are getting 15 off), not quite at the June 2012 liquidation stage (have to start from the bottom as a newCo). Not yet anyway.

Really think the original post is a wind-up, cause if it's not.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2013 18:07:54
In a word, no. That only applies in a newco situation i. e. liquidation.

Agree0 Disagree0

No, it is not a 'new company' running the club. They are only in administration they would need to be liquidated in order for that to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wylde had Bolton lined up and moved once Rangers went into admin

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont get too excited the Gorgie Boys and Girls will turn the cash tap back on again now that Romanov and his cronies has been punted.

Agree0 Disagree0

Davis might have left but the club received money from southhampton for him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Unlike the administration at Ibrox there will be many people loosing there job within the next week.
High earners will be first to go.
All Hearts will be left with are youth players. Liquidation is a possibility.
Hearts debt outwith Romanovs cartel is only around £3-5 million.
Tynecastle could be sold to pay off Romanov's cartel & Hearts could play at Meadowbank

Agree0 Disagree0

@7 meadowbank doesn't have the seating required to play in the spl.

Agree0 Disagree0

@1 the hearts players can walk away because they haven't been paid so it doesn't matter whether they're the same club/company

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't have any inside knowledge but I am certain that Lee Wallace will be leaving soon. He is one of the few players who would command any sort of fee and the club needs to get his wages of the wage bill. Steven Smith hasn't been signed to act as cover but has been signed as a replacement. Others will go soon however most will be given free transfers just to balance the wage bill after the recent signings

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Unfortunately I agree. Think he will be off down south soon enough. I just hope that we get a fee worthy of his ability and do not just grab the first offer thrown in our direction. Since signing from hearts for 950k (I think) he has been capped for Scotland. Would like to think we could ask for a minimum of 1.5 mil, with around 2 being closer to the mark.

Agree0 Disagree0

@1 £2m might be a little bit hopeful as although he has played for Scotland he was playing in the lowest tier of Scottish football. Probably £1.2m best we can hope for

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't be ridiculous, we're not selling Wallace, that would be a backwards step. To balance the wage bill, we'll be shifting the dead beats and Wallace ain't that. Why even come out with this level of nonsense. Sick of the pessimism on this site

Agree0 Disagree0

@3: shifting the 'dead beats' where? Someone has to want them and be able to afford them. If that, they'll need to have their contracts paid up and released. Not as easy as that, so Wallace may need to go to balance the books.

Agree0 Disagree0

Doubt if anyone would pay more than £500,000 for a Scottish 3rd tier
player. Would be better to keep Wallace

Agree0 Disagree0

How many Scottish 3rd Div players go for £1m+ these days?

Agree0 Disagree0

@3 think its you who is being ridiculous! Who is going to take the deadwood as you call them? No one wanted Black for free last season and after a poor season no one will want him on top of that no one will want to pay him the wages Rangers do. Every season people go on about getting rid of the deadwood but it only happens if we pay them off something that isn't going to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't see this happening this season as Wallace has shown- and I seem to remember him stating in the paper -that he wants to play for rangers ( hence staying and not leaving last year even though he could have gone to the prem ). Also, the main club interested in him last time Aston villa have already got a couple of defenders in and they have the likes of lowton who can play that position. So this doesn't make sense or not at this moment in time anyway.

Agree0 Disagree0

Graham spiers what a tw*t! Is that the best you can come up with, he said, she said!
How many different professional bodies need to say the same thing, we are still rangers football club! PB

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Spiers is a rangers hater nobody with any sence should listen to the person

Agree0 Disagree0

Jim Traynor: "They'll slip into liquidation within the next couple of weeks with a new company emerging but 140 years of history, triumph and tears, will have ended... No matter how Charles Green attempts to dress it up, a newco equals a new club. When the CVA was thrown out Rangers as we know them died."

Richard Gough: "The club I gave blood, sweat and tears for is dead. Whose fault is it? I don't care."

Naismith " I am extremely proud of the actions we took but I am disappointed and angry Rangers FC no longer exists in its original form."

Agree0 Disagree0

UEFA need to clarify the issue and put this nonsense to bed once and for all.

Agree0 Disagree0

If Rangers are the same club why the need to apply for the 'old' clubs SFA membership? Why the need to have a temporary licence granted to play in the Ramsdens cup? Why the name change from RFC to The RFC? Why did Walter, Green, Traynor and Gough all state this is a new Rangers? Why the three year ban from European football? Please don't bring the ECA into this as they asked the SFA for clarification and are a nothing organisation. Remember the no to liquidation protest, why the need for that? UEFA are pretty clear on the fact that if the club are incorporated into the company, and that company goes bust, the club has ceased.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2013 13:08:23
Spiers isn't a 'Rangers hater' he says he still believes that Rangers are the same club but he's pointed out the hypocrisy of Charles Green, James Traynor, Richard Wilson from the Herald & others so why not have a go at them? Can you tell me if he has misquoted any of them?

I've never once thought I was wasn't watching Rangers since it was announced we were to be liquidated just as if the tables were turned I likely wouldn't believe Celtic were the same club after going into liquidation I bet and 99% of bears would be the same.

Lesson is people generally believe whatever they want to believe.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yea just like uefa said derry were a new club yet they use the coefficients that the "old" derry earned

Agree0 Disagree0

Graham Spiers is a self proclaimed Rangers fan who went to ibrox as a kid. Fact.

Agree0 Disagree0

I have made a similar post on this site some time ago. People can go on about Newco, PLC, registration, etc. for anyone inside of Rangers the only real question is it still feel like the team you have supported for a lifetime when you walk into Ibrox and watch the team in light blue - answer is yes and the legal/accounting/governance stuff is nonsense - same goes for Tynecastle by the way if it comes to that - does Romanov's tenure define Hearts - boll*cks

Agree0 Disagree0

PS How you guys can tolerate Jabba at your beloved Club, I will never understand. I wrote to him several times asking that he tell the fans the truth and he never did once. He let your Club go down the stank when he should have been an early warning system. I felt if it came from him rather than an "obsessed Timmy" you would have paid heed, he stabbed you in the back then and is stabbing you in the chest right now.

Agree0 Disagree0

@3. Rangers were always The Rangers. Before admin and liquidation the company was The Rangers Football Club Plc. So why bring up the THE Rangers. Know what your talking about before stating crap

Agree0 Disagree0

I still support RANGERS, my son supports RANGERS, YOU are on a RANGERS website.
Doesnt matter what anyone says to me about sevco, zombies, blah blah etc etc.
Its all opinions and we all know what opinions are.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2013 00:00:44
It's a site for anyone to have banter about Rangers. Not just for Rangers fans.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2013 08:23:58

Why would you post this nonsense? There is no way any of these names will end up at Ibrox.

Agree0 Disagree0

How many players do a 2nd Division team need. Get part time players in, lads that are Brickies, Chippies, Sparkies and alike, pay them as part time footballers then they can double up and do some homers to get Ibrox sorted up, simples.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2013 05:27:30
Why oh why are we not resigning Naco Novo? East Fife are looking at signing him and I can't imagine they'll pay him more than £500 a week. I know he's not one for the future but in a season when we're playing in Div 2 surely he'd be a bit of entertainment for the fans and could help develop the younger lads as he's one of the few guys we could get with big game experience.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Are you mad? Develop the young guys by keeping them out the team? By the signings made so far there will be very few young players starting this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Because he is 5 years past it his best, his best which wasn't that great either if truth be told.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jun 2013 23:39:26
Think we should sell Black get around £300k and get Davidson released by the Saints but he will probably go to a decent Championship team

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Who will pay 300k for black? He didn't have a great season in the 4th tier. Its not like football manager in real life!

Agree0 Disagree0

Is this a wind up? Who in there right minds will pay 300k for Ian black?

Agree0 Disagree0

OP No one wanted Black last year when he was available on a free and after a poor season in the 4th tier why would anyone want to pay £300k for him?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ally obviously wanted him, nuff said!

Agree0 Disagree0
