Is it true rangers supporters are boycotting all away games

Believable6 Unbelievable5

If this is true, those supporters have the same morals as Craig Whyte.

Agree6 Disagree4

If rangers fans decide not to go to away games and instead give the money the will save to rangers in some way ie buy club merchandise etc I think this is a great idea. No other club seems bothered about saving our club so why should we line thier coffers?

Agree1 Disagree2

Why would any other club be bothered about saving your club. They have their own problems and will be looking to pay their way. After all you lot did not care about them money due to Hearts, Dundee Utd and Dunfermline. That is a quarter of the league due money from you that would go a long way for them.

Agree1 Disagree0

I think Rangers fans should be more worried about fans of the other SPL clubs boycotting Ibrox , it is your only source of income from now on , so diddums , get over yourselves , Rangers are in the mire because of their own financial mis-management , spending money yous didn't have on big name players (while all the other teams played by the rules) , a form of "Financial Doping" which you lot all bought into , lapping it up , bragging and gloating , not stopping to think where all the money was coming from , only now when your luck has ran out , you think other clubs should feel sorry for yous and "Bail" yous out , Mr Murray showed Airdrie no mercy and put them into liquidation , quite honestly you have a cheek , looking for sympathy , you should be treated the same as every other team if you break the rules , the same punishment should apply .

Agree1 Disagree0

To the above poster, don't dare trash, celtic have a cheek! yous did the same thing back in the 90‘s hense why yous went to the wall and didn't get bought until a few hours before your full team became painter and decorators! We are innocent until proven guilty! which won't happen, we will come back stronger and from our legend “We dont do walking“

Agree0 Disagree1

Sorry to burst your bubble but Celtic never went into administration.

The Bank of Scotland informed Celtic that it was calling in the receivers on Thursday 3 March 1994 as a result of exceeding a £5 million overdraft. However, expatriate businessman Fergus McCann wrested control of the club, and ousted the family dynasties which had controlled Celtic since its foundation. According to media reports, McCann took over the club minutes before it was to be declared bankrupt.

In order to alleviate the club's considerable financial debt, McCann reconstituted the then privately owned Celtic Football & Athletic Company Limited as a public limited company - Celtic PLC - resulting in one of the most successful stock market flotations in British financial history. The share issue generated £14 million and saw the redevelopment of Celtic Park into a 60,832 all-seater stadium. During this period, Lou Macari was sacked by McCann and replaced by former Celtic player Tommy Burns, who restored a more attacking style of play.

Agree1 Disagree0

To the above poster , are you still in denial ? come off it mate , you are in the serious financial bother , FACT , whether or not yous "Win" the big tax case yous have lived beyond your means for years , to float David Murrays' over inflated EGO , he tried to "Buy" the European Cup , all the other clubs have played by the rules (those who havent have been punished accordingly , ie Motherwell , Dundee , Livingston , Hamilton Accies) , do you honestly think we should all feel sorry for yous and bail yous out ? your arrogance and self importance is sickening mate , yes Celtic did nearly go to the wall in 1994 , but it was a totally different set of circumstances , not to do with cheating the tax man to sign players we couldnt afford , Fergus McCann saved Celtic with the help of the Celtic fans , with no help from Rangers or any other club , the SFA , or political intervention , Celtic are run in a totally different way from Rangers and will never be allowed to get into financial strife again , i personally expect yous to be "helped" out and get off lightly , that is why Scottish Football is a laughing stock as is Scottish society in general .

Believable5 Unbelievable5

Not the only thing holding you back. Did you not hear the songs on Saturday?

Agree6 Disagree2

20 Feb 2012 21:10:59
can someone please explain to me why we owe ticketus a payment when they have stated they never loaned rangers money for % of season tckts but they claim they bought them from rangers

Believable2 Unbelievable1

The deal which Ticketus have with Rangers is indeed NOT a loan.

Ticketus have PURCHASED season books from Rangers for future seasons at a discount to what the value of the season books will be. In the future seasons Ticketus then sell the season books at face value.

The difference between the discounted price they have bought them for now and the face value they sell them at in the future is how Ticketus make their profit.

Ticketus will get Rangers to carry out the marketing and administration of selling the season tickets so it will always look like Rangers are selling them.

Rangers must sell the Ticketus season books first to gaurantee Ticketus first payment and then once they are sold, Rangers can then start selling their "own" books.

Hopefully this explains the situation.

There are a few other points worth making.

Point 1.
The fact that Ticketus paid the money into Craig Whyte's solicitor's client account does not mean that Rangers do not have to pay Ticketus from the sale of future season books. The contract with Ticketus is most likely between Rangers and Ticketus, so Rangers will have the responsibility. It is common practice in commercial deals for the receiver of the money (in this case Craig Whyte) to have the responsibility of nominating the bank account payment is made into (in this case his solicitor's client account and not Rangers). He is likely to have done this perfectly legally.

Point 2
Because it is a sale of advance season tickets and not a loan it is a sale of goods and as such the amount of money received, namely £24.4m includes VAT of £4.06m. As such Rangers may find they are due another £4.07m to HMRC in addition to the £9m already known.

Point 3
Because it is an advance purchase of season tickets it is not a bebt. As such it cannot be included in any CVA and repaid on a pence in the pound agreement. This means that if Rangers come out of administration the full amount due to Ticketus is payable over the next 4 seasons, something that will be off puting to any investor.

Point 4
The only way to get rid of the Ticketus payments is for Rangers to go into liquidation. All future seasons sales of season books would then go 100% to the new company. Downside is that Rangers cease to exist but it would be more appealing to any investor, purely on a commercial basis.

Point 5
In summary, there are a lot more implications for Rangers still to come from the Ticketus deal, the most relevant of which will be whether any money from this deal still exists or whether it was used by Craig Whyte to pay of the Lloyds debt. If it has been used to pay of Lloyds and this was done legally, then Craig Whyte has a floating charge of £18m over Rangers assets for an investment of £1 to purchase the club, and Rangers are left to pay Ticketus the value of the advance sales over the next 4 seasons. Again, not appealing to any investor.

We will have to wait and see what information is released by the administrators, but my feelings are that the Ticketus situation is going to be very damaging for Rangers and very profitable for Craig Whyte.


Liquidation.

Debt.

Agree8 Disagree0

Thats a good point been wondering this my self

Agree3 Disagree0

They have bought season tickets in advance, when Rangers fans buy a season ticket for the next four years, they , not Rangers will get the cash.where the money will come for wages etc is a mystery

Agree4 Disagree1

20 Feb 2012 21:03:06
what is the more realistic target for rangers shall we try our best to stay 2nd above motherwell or shall we try and win every remaining game and reduce the point gap below 10 points and make THEM feel like s**t

Believable6 Unbelievable10

Eh obviously we would rather tryin win every game n ofthe happens we will obviously be second. Bit of a daft post there buddy

Agree2 Disagree1

Wouldnt cause me a jot of concern if we won by 30 or 3 points, i dont buy into stripping titles or devalued titles.
False logic, you cant change history and you cant undo a point deduction.
Nevis

Agree6 Disagree0

We are not going to finish less than 10 points behind hem. More like 30 points they things re going

Agree5 Disagree0

By the time you play ICT , Celtic will be 23 points ahead . You can't even score at home . How on earth can you get within 10 points ? Celtic are Champions Elect ( I predict they will run out winners by 30+ points )

Agree5 Disagree1

More likely to lose the league by 30 points!

Agree4 Disagree0

Ha,ha.thats it.

Agree3 Disagree0

Both won't happen I'm afraid, 3rd place for rangers

Agree4 Disagree1

That's a silly question. If you did the later, you'd achieve the former.

Agree1 Disagree1

Are you serious? I think you will be doing well to win a game the rest of the season!
You couldn't beat killie on sat with a full house (for 70mins anyway) so how do you expect your team to get up for an away game at it?

Agree5 Disagree0

Wake up and smell the Coffee, Rangers are in real danger of going like Third Lanark or Gretna, its a fight for survival, the club could be over a hundred million in debt,it will take full houses and wages like Motherwell pay for the next twenty years to get back to square one

Agree5 Disagree0

Celtic has clearly won the league by default, and don't even bother hittin me with pash, and the end of the day yous would have a fight on your hands, cos we were startin to pick ourselves back up then the admin bomshell dropped into ibrox, thers is lot of false hope within our club now, there will be a big talk to the guys that we NEED to finish 2nd and that we don't have to care about septic.

Agree0 Disagree6

The only person who is really happy with what is happening at Rangers is-- Neil Lennon, WHY because if he hadn't won the league this season he'd have been SACKED and this is the only why he was ever going to win it.

Agree0 Disagree3

Picking ourselves back up? Dundee utd pumped us out the Scottish cup a couple of weeks ago.

Agree2 Disagree0

I think you'll be doing wekll jsut to finish the season.

20 Feb 2012 20:43:44
Now whyte staying at ibrox i for one wont be back at ibrox as i just cant stand the thot of him getting my money,i would rather fold and start again than pay him another penny,we at a crossroads support team and fill whytes pockets or fold the club,im mad at posistion are in whats your thots on what to do

Believable8 Unbelievable4

Just to clear things up you would rather see the team you support go out of business than give Craig Whyte money? You do realise the money is going to pay off creditors not to Whyte.

Agree1 Disagree4

Craig whyte was or is the only secured creditor,i would rather us start afresh than fund that 1 we on a double edged sword and dont even no half of it,only scratched the surface,

does anybody know if it
would be possible to set up some
kind of Rangers fund? to raise
revenue to get us out of this mess,
i have supported Rangers all of my
life and have been thinking lets say
there is 200,000 Rangers fans world
wide and every single one of us
could donate say £100 per person
this would raise 20 million straight
away, if anybody out there has the
knowledge to help set this up my
£100 would be ready to put in the
pot, i spoke with fellow Gers
work colleagues today and they said
they would contribute.
i would imagine out of the 200,000
world wide fans that there would be
quite few willing to contribute a lot
more than £100 per person, come on
Bears lets get together? did you see
that mob yesterday taking the p**s
its got to stop soon , G.H.R Ayrshire

I agree but a friend tells me not to at this stage as, when we come out of administration Whyte still owns the club so effectively we are giving him the money to steal from us again.....this guy has no morals, conscience or sense of right....so he would pocket it and stick another 2 fingers up to us all.......!

Ed001's Note - isn't the whole point that there is no proof of these letters? Because if they truly existed, and HMRC had proof of their existence, this case would have been done and dusted by now surely?}

the letters DO exist, this is the reason rangers are in court. they have been found guilty, accepted their guilt and are disputing the fines and interest. this is what seems to go over peoples' heads, who cares if other clubs have used EBT's, they were legal up until 2010 and HMRC cannot chase clubs for money before it became illegal. rangers problem is that they absolved players and directors of any payment of tax in this scheme.

this IS NOT a test case so they can go after EPL clubs, it's merely a fore-runner for catching those who abused the EBT scheme, and not every club who has used EBT's has abused it in the same way as rangers

They have not been found guilty of anything at present. The case is not to decide the amount, but to decide if they are guilty. Suggest you go back to your own page and spout your crap to fellow minded fuds

Agree4 Disagree15

Tedbear, i don't give bigots the time of day, so your post (as always) will be ignored.

paulrfc (in administration), it does give me a stiffy.....does that make you happy?

all i can say to the nameless poster is, research what constitutes a first-tier tribunal, then an Upper Tribunal, and see if you still think your argument stands up

Ho Taco...where are you getting your info from?...tell me its not from that Taxcase website some of you mhanks have been running for the last two years..ha ha..honestly my dug knows more than you do...lolz

He's right y'know. rangers have accepted guilt and are disputing the fines and penalties.if they get a result there will still be a bill of at best 7m

How can you answer someone's posts - then say your ignoring it ? You are a toolbox! PaulRFC

Agree0 Disagree7

Wit taxo , am a bigot cause a called you taxo , away n lie doon , tedbear

Agree0 Disagree6

Can't understand how it not clear. Rangers have lost the big tax case. They are appealling this decision through a first tier tribunal. The EBTs used failed to convince that they were anything else than a tax dodge. It is best hope that some compromise figure can be reached through this tribunal as opposed to the sum HMRC are claiming. This payback is what will then need to be factored in to the future operational cost of running of RFC. That is why it is dificult to fix any sale of the club until tribunal has settled. Don't think the press or majority of fans seem to have really grasped this yet.

Agree7 Disagree1

It doesn't matter where i get my info from, as like everything else that you don't like to hear, you pass off as timmy lies, so it would serve no purpose informing you.

i will say though, that i don't get my information from websites or newspapers, although RTC is usually bang on the money


taco

Agree9 Disagree4

Don't talk pash, how do you know rangers have lost the case eh? Go for a walk mate cos you clearly need fresh air! nobody knows, only judges themselves! so i advise everybody to stop posting rangers lost the tax case once again cos NOBODY knows! ed? is it a good sign or bad sign for the fact that how long this tax case has been goin on for this long? could it be the fact that HMRC don't have enough evidence for it or somethin? {Ed001's Note - impossible to say unless you are involved in the case. It is all speculation that is left to the rest of us.}

Agree3 Disagree3

Paulrfc (in administration) i was just reminding him that bigots will be ignored. there were a couple of his posts on the 18th about Neil Lennon, that unsurprisingly have been deleted, why he is still able to post? you'd have to ask the ed on that


taco

Agree4 Disagree2

For crying out loud!
the court case is to establish how much rangers have to pay...end of!

surely to god at least one of you bears out there understands these tribunals? and if you don't understand how they work, then stop saying they haven't lost their case

Just thought i'd say thought the team were a disgrace on Saturday. The fans were amazing creating an atmosphere that any player would be proud to play in. Not this lot who have turned Ibrox into an easy place to come and get points. I know all the stuff that's going on could be used as an excuse but they still had a job to do and were getting(well) paid for it. God help us if that's the fighting spirit to get us out of admin!

For every high there's a low 
For every disappointment 
There's sheer joy 
We have through far 
Worse periods in our history 
And whatever does not kill us 
Will surely make us stronger 
It is easy to stand strong 
When the champagne is flowing 
The real measure of a rangers fan 
Is to be found in times of adversity 
Success ,results,managers,owners&players
All come and go from decade to decade 
But being a rangers fan is for life 
We are ever present constant 
In the rangers clubs existence 
We are it's blood and it's heart 
It's living breathing heartbeat 
From cradle to grave 
Win,loose or draw 
I am a rangers supporter 
I was born a rangers supporter 
I will live as a rangers supporter 
And I will die a rangers supporter 
In the meantime it is a honour 
And my great privilege 
To be part of the greatest 
And most unique football institution 
Anywhere in the world 
And that's why we are the people 
That's why I am a proud bear 
Teach this statement to your children 
And your grandchildren 
Rangers football club are for life 
No matter what follow follow

if rangers win this tax case would we be within our rights to sue for defamation of character? i believe we should be, we should take the daily record to the cleaners!!

Believable14 Unbelievable14

If we win, HMRC would be liable for all costs and we would recoup the lawyers fees which could be substantial

Agree2 Disagree9

Okay, what has the Daily Record said in relation to the tax case that is deflamitory.

Agree14 Disagree4

The tax case was lost. the first tier tax tribunal was set up because rangers were appealing the decision. the tribunal was not to determine whether rangers are liable for the debt but rather how much they are liable for.

load and clear ostrich?

Agree15 Disagree7

Lol what a dreamer lolololol

Agree5 Disagree2

Unnamed poster on tax case being lost is correct,, and if you dont believe it i would advise a google on what a first tier tribunal on taxes ,for those who chose not to google ,,,its an appeal on a decision already made and as your club handed in roughly 1700 pages of evidence its your club appealing the decision/judgement already made

Lubo25

Agree6 Disagree1

Lubo,
I'm a celtic fan and my i enjoy your banter but cant agree with you there,
"First–tier Tribunal (Tax) hears appeals against decisions relating to tax made by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC)"
All this means is that HMRC have made a decision, HMRC can make any decision they want, such as Harry Redknapp but there has to be an appeal process either through tribunal or court.
This case is not lost simply because it is at the tribunal, it may be lost for other reasons but not as we know it yet until the decision is released.
IF Rangers badly administered the scheme then i doubt this is a test case, test cases hinge on points of law, if Rangers administered the tax scheme correctly then it may be a test case to see if PAYE/NIC due at the point of the contribution to the EBT and that is not a clear answer. Cases such as Dextra and Sempra say no, but HMRC just won a case that put PAYE and NIC on dividends so i dont think there is a simple, known answer, out there.

Celtic never went into administration

i pro jordan

Agree5 Disagree1

Sorry to burst your bubble but Celtic never went into administration.

The Bank of Scotland informed Celtic that it was calling in the receivers on Thursday 3 March 1994 as a result of exceeding a £5 million overdraft. However, expatriate businessman Fergus McCann wrested control of the club, and ousted the family dynasties which had controlled Celtic since its foundation. According to media reports, McCann took over the club minutes before it was to be declared bankrupt.

In order to alleviate the club's considerable financial debt, McCann reconstituted the then privately owned Celtic Football & Athletic Company Limited as a public limited company - Celtic PLC - resulting in one of the most successful stock market flotations in British financial history. The share issue generated £14 million and saw the redevelopment of Celtic Park into a 60,832 all-seater stadium. During this period, Lou Macari was sacked by McCann and replaced by former Celtic player Tommy Burns, who restored a more attacking style of play.

The real impact of administration has not even begun to kick in so can start to see attendances dropping in the very near future.
If you think you'll see anywhere near a full house in the coming weeks then you are sadly mistaken.

On a side note, is administration what it takes for rangers to get a full house, why not a full house for every home game?

He is 1 of us, hurting just as much as me and u and he has come out fighting so get behind him and show him the respect he deserves. I'm glad he's the man in our corner fighting for the cause and guiding us through the worst time in our clubs history. if you dont want to pull in the same direction as every1 else do us a favour and f@@k off we dont need voices of discontent, we need voices of SUPPORT.

Good bit in the paper today. Celtic fiddling the gate money at the Piggery through the Kelly years. Claiming half full stadium so's to avoid paying tax on the full monies taken.

The 'boad' will be investigated am sure, however you dont seem to have to much knowledge going on in there. There will be a settlement at the end of all of this, whether it be closure, fine or repayment. We will not get away with out punishment, and we accept this. Dont compare you vauxhall nova to our club. What happens then if you dont pay insurance or tax? you would be fined or taken to court and there would be an outcome, which is what we are all waiting for in this case. Sing bile? Get a grip. You know something if we end up lucky and we come out of this with no charges instead of this you lot stiffed the working joe you lot cheated. It will be the judge was a rangers fan, the tax inspector hates celtic and just wants to get at us. And you know what 'we ARE the people'

In comparison to across the city -
Neil Lennon -
caretaker manager March 2010 and then went on to get beat by Ross County in the Scottish Cup.
Runners - up in the league to us.
2010/2011 - Lost 3 v 0 in euro to Braga and out of Chmps Lgue qualifying round.
Received 2 x 4 match touchline bans.
Got beat in League cup by us.
Runners- up in the League to us.
Won Scottish Cup.
By their own admissions their finances are healthy and money made available to spend on transfers. No boardroom struggle.

Braga got to the europa final so i cant see any disgrace by getting beat by them.

Our memories are long
Famine and blight, cruelly mocked
That Vile, Vile Song
Slurs on our Icons, a slanderous game
No substance, no basis
Pure libel, No Shame
Dignity Hijacked
Its Essence Demeaned
Delusions of Grandeur
Illicitly Gleaned
Taxes? what Taxes?

Just dont excpect Rangers to pay
To be simply the best
Well the Game's Up

The Insults still Rankle

But certainly during the 60s 70s and 80s CFC used 'estimated attendances' by about 10,000 to 20,000. Common knowledge that they pocketed the money. That's why I've got to laugh at all the tax conscience tims on here. They'll say it was the 'old board' but as F McCann only bought the club and a new club was not formed it remains in CFC history.

Rangers will win the HMRC case, but HMRC will appeal and will lose. Rangers will NOT have to pay the "monies due" because they aren't due and the EBT's were legal until December 2010. Major clubs around the UK are watching this case and will be relieved when it goes in favour of Rangers. The £18mil used to pay off Llyods was money taken from the sales of the Tickets for the next 4 years, CW hasn't spent a penny of his own money because he has no need to. The tax case decision will benefit Rangers and CW. CW will be forced to sell, which is what he is wanting to happen because he was only ever planning a "hit and run" profit scheme at Rangers. He will make approx £10-20 million in a deal to sell Rangers onto another, more affluent owner who will financially secure Rangers long term.

By the end of spring, Rangers will be owned by someone else and will have won their tax case, the summer transfer window will be a flurry with Rangers activity and a new sense of purpose and drive will be installed, still with Ally at the helm.

No, my brain wrote that for me because its COMMON SENSE, why people are jumping on the MSM fueled info band wagon surprises me no end. CW knows exactly what he is doing, he is wanting to be portrayed in a "bad light" so that Rangers fans demand he sells...which is what he is relying on. He doesn't want Rangers long term...he cant finance it long term. He already has a buyer, the administrators were chosen by him because they are part of his plan. HMRC wont win, which is obvious too...Rangers are the test case and they wont falter because what they did was perfectly legal. Its the cost of running at a loss that caught out SDM and will catch out CW, that's why its gone into admin, not this bloody Tax Case...

Everyone needs to wake up and turn off the bloody TV and stop reading the tabloids...its all total dis-info!

So why did murray not sell it on to one of these people for a quick buck? 10-20 mill.

Agree2 Disagree1

It was a tax case that brought on administration. The non payment of PAYE & VAT to the sum of £9 million.

Whyte is not wanting administration he wants liquidation all debt is then wiped out he gets Ibroke for his outstanding money due to him that he supposedly used to pay Lloyds. He then re-establishes Rangers as Glasgow Rangers and sells this debt free team on for a huge profit. You lose your history keep your stadium and name sort off and he walks away a rich man.

Of course he doent want liquidation, no businessman wants liquidation. he wants the administrators "who he chose" and were with him at the beginning of the take over to restructure the debt, which they will have far more ability to do that CW. SDM didnt put the club into admin because of his reputation as a businessman, not to mention his knighthood.

Nothing has changed since CW's take over regarding the tax issue so putting it into admin today as opposed to 9 months ago makes no sense, its not the tax issue (45mil or 9mil) that has forced this issue. The 9mil could still have been paid because the fiscal year isn't up yet.

CW put it into admin for the simple fact that the administrators could restructure and have the leverage to do so. Its shrewd but its his way of clearing debt that he cant afford to do, whilst lining up a club that will be debt free. This is why there is so much interest now. Buyers know that the administrators will restructure and it will become a viable option. CW just wants to make a quick buck.

I'd suspect this is what the previous board were hinting at...don't appoint CW because all he wants to do is make quick cash...buy to sell type of investment.

And to those of you who say i am deluded, well i ask you....

I know this is going to receive some back lash but why is Walter Smith not getting some flak for the current situation.

He spend over £20 million and left us with a aging squad the same scenario as the 90's when Advocaat had to spend money (although it didn't need to be extravagant) to replace the aging squad that Smith left.

I for one foresaw this happening back in 2007/08 season and never renewed my season ticket after Le Guen left. I was always shot down in flames at that time, but I felt for the good of my club in the long term, Smith was not the right direction.

As much as it tears my heart to say 'I told you so', I just wished we would have given Le Guen a first team regular more time to establish a young team, he also wanted to make Charlie Adams a first team regular and get ride of arrogant Captain Marvelous. He never spend millions like previous managers, maybe because he didn't want to build up a huge debt.

It also worries me that this HMRC debt relates to the era when McLeish was brought in to reduce the operating costs and given a measly budget each year (compared to Smith and Advocaat). We hardly spend anything on players in those years. I remember Capucho, Emerson and that useless tall Scandinavian striker. If these guys contributed to the debt then it is even worse.

Very strong rumour is that no wealthy individual will buy into Rangers and that is worrying the administrators. Can you blame anyone really? Firstly you would have to fork out how many millions, and secondly you will probably never see any returns.

Strong rumours are that the fans will have to buy the club out of this debt. So it will be a case of put your money where your mouth is.

He also wanted to make Charlie Adams a first team regular

Bye then you wont be missed,dont expect this to get posted ed ,but what are your thoughts on the offensive singing at the weekend

Dannybhoy {Ed001's Note - my thoughts? My thoughts are that football has a problem, not just Rangers and Celtic. All around the world it is the same, go to almost any Man Utd match and you will hear chants about Munich and airplanes from the opposition. Liverpool fans face songs and chants about Hillsborough and Heysels. Bradford fans tell me similar stories. Football fans seem to have forgotten how to support their own team and spend their time trying to abuse and offend the opposition. When I was a kid, we would gather round trying to come up with new songs for our favourite players, these days people spend their time trying to come up with something nasty for opposition players. I really don't understand it, if abusing the opposition won things, Galatasaray would be the greatest team in history. What bothers the players I know, is when the fans are singing and cheering and egging on the opposition, they believe it really does give them a lift when the crowd are behind them. None of them like a nasty atmosphere, they find it affects concentration as they are always expecting something to kick off.}

think its time we looked at this from a different perspective. HMRC have had an ongoing witchhunt against football in general for years now, not just us although i agree at the moment it feels that way it is rumoured that a lot of top clubs down south used EBT's until they were declared illegal, and i have no doubt the taxman will be knocking at their doors IF they win case against rangers. As for the gloating mhankey mob on here i haven't heard any statements from liewell saying that your mob didn't use EBTs. so would have to assume thatt your club did use them too. so maybe its time for you lot to start s**ting yourselves lol. remember what goes around comes around.

Tubeboy, the reason your lot are going to lose the tax case is because of letters advising the players on the EBT's that they do not have to pay anything back, which is tax EVASION, which is illegal. so don't start spouting off about things you know nothing about

Celtic have also said on numerous occasions, that yes, EBT's were an attractive proposition, but our chairman at the time, ex Bank of England chairman Brian Quinn, knew the implications of going down that road and chose not to follow, and instead pay tax in the correct and legal manner

indeed, what goes around comes around, and aren't you lot suffering for it now lol!

taco {Ed001's Note - isn't the whole point that there is no proof of these letters? Because if they truly existed, and HMRC had proof of their existence, this case would have been done and dusted by now surely?}

Agree1 Disagree1

Celtic used two,Hearts and Hibs used one but all three clubs decided against it.Celtics decision came about after ex Bank of England chairman Brian Quinn took over.He knew they were a bad idea and decided to pay the tax for the two that were taken out.So everything has been above board.

Jungle Bhoy.
