Rangers officials had meetings today with Queens Park and the SPL, to set up a contingency plan to play home games at Hampden, in the event that the club go into administration / liquidation and the administrator sells off Ibrox as an asset to pay of debts.

Why are you coming on here telling blatant lies? Anyone with even a little knowledge knows that you are full of it!!!
You are one of those losers that actually believe that idiot and general scumbag phil ma goblins bum in again arent you?

Then the big bad wolf said I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down.

Away Ye go and stop making up stories.

These rumours are now officially worse than the crap on Radio Clyde. Glasgow Rangers will be here at the end of the seasons . And will defend the league in 2012/13

Agree0 Disagree0

Load of s**** ............... that is all

Agree0 Disagree0

The SFA own Hampden so not much point talking to Queens Park is there?

Agree0 Disagree0

Queens Park own Hampden.

Agree0 Disagree0

Queens Park dont own Hampden you clown.

Someone kindly put that nugget of a lad to bed.

Agree0 Disagree0

Craig Whyte has already stated that administration is a possibility.

I cannot see them ever being punted from SPL however a points deduction looks likely - that said I doubt that it will happen this season unless the Bank pull the plug - i.e. do not extend short term overdraft arrangement - I have it on good authority (source in the bank) that the facility is ZERO.

Any excess expenditure is being met personally by Craig Whyte.

Interesting times - theyd struggle to pay a £10 million fine let alone more.

Motherwell for the league £10 for me at 200 - 1 - Interestingly one bookie already down to 66 - 1

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would Rangers sell Ibrox, what buyer would want a football stadium? No use for property because planning applications will be rejected.

Wishful thinking by bitter celtic fans who know there team is RUBBISH!

WATP

get it up ye!

Agree0 Disagree0

Yet another expert from the kerryfail school of accounting, ffs get a life

Agree0 Disagree0

I look forward to the newspaper headlines after rangers win the tax case..... There are lots of stories about the tic and their troubles..... oh hang on, the scottish media is full of tic fans.... ahh well, 'am sure they will just revert back to their usual diatribe of "u's are ol sectarian an that no"

Agree0 Disagree0

Aaahhh "phil the rapture" with yet another deflection story.
More points dropped at the weekend, eh timmy ?

Agree0 Disagree0

A think that even with a points deduction rangers still run away with the league as you lot are pure rubbish and rangers on a good run so why dont you all go and support your own team and leave rangers to us

Agree0 Disagree0

Another load of lies, but, one thing is true, Queens PArk own HAmpden. The SFA, rent it off of them

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would we sell Ibrox when our major creditor (Craig Whyte Holding Company)would be willing to accept £0.001 in the £ forcing HMRC to accept the same settlement £50mill down to 50,000 lol

Agree0 Disagree0

HMRC under law, is the only creditor that has to receive 100% of what they are owed. So, if it was a big fine of more than the £18 million that Whyte is owed, then, they could enforce the sale of assets

Agree0 Disagree0

HMRC can't get 100% if Rangers don't have it - if Whyte is owed more than HMRC he can agree to accept 1p in the £ therefore HMRC get 100th of what they are owed - The figure of £49m has been plucked from nowhere.
I think Whyte is owed the original £18m debt + recent transfer monies for Bocanegra, etc, new contract fees, maybe wages etc so think it will be more than HMRC are owed. Plus if Whyte has transferred assets i.e Ibrox & Murray Park to his company HMRC can't seize them as they no longer remian under Rangers Plc ownership.
Have faith I do not think Whyte went into this with his eyes shut and remember this mess is to do with the previous regime not Whyte

Agree0 Disagree0

£49 million has NOT been plucked from nowhere.
The listing below shows Rangers’ annual contributions to the EBT (data from Rangers’ Annual Reports):

2010 £ 1.36m
2009 £ 2.36m
2008 £ 2.29m
2007 £ 4.99m
2006 £ 9.19m
2005 £ 7.24m
2004 £ 7.25m
2003 £ 6.79m
2002 £ 5.18m
2001 £ 1.01m

Total: £ 47.66m

Oh, sorry you're right it's not £49 million.

Agree0 Disagree0

The £49m figure that is being quoted includes the fine so somewhere along the line someone has got it wrong.
I can't see Whyte going to all the hassle and going through due diligence to purchase a company just for it to fold months later - doesn't add up.
Let's wait and see what happens. I know it is a comfort blanket for Celtic fans in these difficult times

Agree0 Disagree0

Yet another cut and Paste from the total nonsense RTC blog - The tic are totally bricking it - can you imagine how many titles we will when we have some cash flow - roll on judgement day - no fear 12 clear

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes well done that adds upto 47.66m... but you dont pay 100% tax now do you?

Rangers have paid in 47.66million... the tax was believed to be in the region of 24million (50% tax bracket?) the rest was made up of "late payment" and "interest" so please plase please take your lack of knowledge back to parkhead and help neil lennon ;-)

Agree0 Disagree0

Funny how the number of qualified accountants has risen dramatically over the last year! just goes to show that the education system works

I was thinking... Does whyte want us to go bust and have to re-register? Then it wouldn't have to be scotland. Lower league english clubs would welcome the income we'd bring, the attention and inevitable tv deal. Anyone think this is plausible?

Believable16 Unbelievable39

Not a chance. It will not be Whyte's decision if Rangers go into administration, it will be the administrator who will be running the club. The only way Whyte could potentially do this is if Rangers go into liquidation. In this event, the administrator will seize all assets which will include Ibrox and Murray Park and the players will be lost to the club. RANGERS WILL BE NO MORE. Whyte would be doing this as a brand new club with no ground or players, so he'd have been as well staying in England and buying into a lower league club already in the English league.

You're in cloud cuckoo land mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Earth to OP, earth to OP! come in OP

Agree0 Disagree0

No need to slag the original post. Its worth a discussion. Craig Whyte WILL decide if we go into administration. As the first and main creditor he would have some control over the process.

To me it sounds like a good way out of scottish football. U have to look long term and it can be done, look at gretna,AFC wimbeldon,MK Dons,FC United of manchester. Rangers would still get 50k a week crowds even in the small divisions in England. Worth a debate.

Agree0 Disagree0

We do not want liquidation, dont know about you guys but i dont want to be called Glasgow Rangers 2012 or AFC Rangers or anything like that we have a long standing history and want to keep our name, Am i right in thinking that if we go into admin but come out of it again we do not have to change our name? But again this is all ifs and buts we dont even know whats going to happen yet. Once the tax case has been looked at i will worry when the result of that comes in.

Agree0 Disagree0

CW has already shown he will not just do what is popular with the fans. The reality is the people David Murray had running the club were not running it properly. AFC rangers playing at ibrox in the lower english divisions is the way forward.

changing the name does not take away any history of our club.

Agree0 Disagree0

I totally agree with the above poster i want rangers to be the way they always are not and not called rangers 2012 that would mean everything rangers won will no longer be there it wouldn't be the same anyway that will never happen

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont agree, i dont think starting in the English lower leagues is the way forward, who is to say that they will be promoted, we could end up being stuck in the same lower league for 3 or 4 years and we would then be an English club and wont get the chance of old firm games, i see your point but just in my opinion i dont want us to be an English club i am Scottish and so are Glasgow Rangers.

Agree0 Disagree0

The history would still be there. Some people have to get a grip and realise Glasgow Rangers 2012 IS BETTER THAN NO RANGERS WHATSOEVER

Agree0 Disagree0

Mate get a grip nothing, i am one of the very few rangers fans right now not gettin carried away with it all, obviously if given the choice of no rangers or Rangers 2012 i would rather that it be Rangers 2012, just making the piont that i wouldnt like it. So i take it by that post being stuck in the 3rd or 4th division in England for a few years dont bother you in the slightest? . . . . . . . Aye thought not.

Agree0 Disagree0

Im sure if we had a massive bill the club would ask the fans to offer money - like rotherham did a few years ago by texting in and you were charged £5 to help the club stave administration

Agree0 Disagree0

Would the english leagues want us without the manky mob.lets be honest wots the appeal of one half of the old firm

Agree0 Disagree0

Better to go to England and work our way up than get Draconian punishments here and essentially give septic the title. Also if cant compete in europe for 3 years then best to go and get 3 promotions in england!

Agree0 Disagree0

Heard from creditable source that we could be confirming administration wednesday. Find it hard to believe myself as the tax case hasn't been heard but this is coming from someone in itv with connections. Hope he's wrong. (I won't disclose the source)

Believable16 Unbelievable40

Please make tomorrow it my birthday,you know it make sense craigboy lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Alan rough said on real radio that he believes rangers will be found guilty by hrmc.but the fine will be between 5and6 million because rangers are not the main club they are after.

Agree0 Disagree0

Very doubtful! Rangers wont enter administration and they wont lose this so called tax case either. Silly sellix fans scaremongering. Word of advice.......worry about yer own mess.......yer neil lennon is one result away from the sack and yer players dont want to play for him anymore..........We at Rangers are laughing at you.........oh how we are laughing!!!! Back in yer cage timmy!!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Another DATE will pass by TONYBHOY LOL, Back to the runners up page and start to worry with Lemon in charge, I just can't get enough

Agree0 Disagree0

Very good Timothy - only way Celtic would get close to winning the league this year . In fact after Sunday they will be lucky to achieve 2 nd.
Why would they go into admin before tax case is heard.
Ps well done on the spelling
4 in a row

Agree0 Disagree0

Will you all stop these stupid comments. This is worse then Radio Clyde

Agree0 Disagree0

Well if Alan Rough said it then it must be true. NOT.

Agree0 Disagree0

Creditable sources all seem to emanate from Philip 3 names, the literary oracle and failed social worker, who can't even manage to get a real job with a real paper.

Agree0 Disagree0

Couple of rumours currently coming from Ibrox, seems the club is several months in arears with Strathclyde Police in regard to outstanding debts, rumour is the club may have to start paying in advance or no Police will be provided for home games, hence no licence to host games, second rumour appears security at the ground is to be retendered in November, as current contractor, will pull out at end of December due to non payment for last three months of last season, and no payment to date for this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

If you find it hard to believe, why bother posting it ? seems like rubbish anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

First of all it was In October then it was last Friday then it was within a week . Now it is Wednesday?. Timmy u just can't keep posting this rubbish,if and it is a big IF admin does happen timmy will turn round and say we told u so. Quite pathetic.

Yes that great business brain Alan Rough!. lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Could this be the same source that has said this b4 on numerous occasions? and been wrong, lets set the record straight - come end of season it'll be 4 in a row, lemon unemployed, celtic will have more deadwood than sherwood forest and the most important one - WE ARE THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!! TheBigMan

Agree0 Disagree0

Wheres this administration then?

MEDALS won by Rangers stars for winning the league have been seized under a court order.
The badges, worth almost £20,000, were grabbed by agents acting for the club’s former finance director Donald McIntyre. He recently won a legal bid to freeze £300,000 of the Gers’ assets as part of a breach of contract case.

Believable28 Unbelievable24

They are hotfooting it to the porkdome so they're players and fans can behold the wondrous SHINY SHINY.
Dahun12.

Agree0 Disagree0

The medals belong to the players who cannot be held responsible for the clubs debt.Also so yoy are saying that the players do not take their medls home but leave them at Ibrox THINK NOT {Ed002's Note - Actually the story is correct, albeit incomplete.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Quite true Ed002 the OP forgot to mention that Donald McIntyre was horrified about this news and ordered them to be returned. why do all those idiots think they can post sh*te and nobody will check the truth!

WATP

Agree0 Disagree0

The medals where at the spl office not ibrox, and the agents where trying to seize outstanding tv rights money which there is none at the minute,

when the former director found out what his agents had done he ordered the release of the medals to the players,

would be good if people put the whole story, instead of a tim clear posting half a story for effect,

Agree0 Disagree0

This is a non story. The medals were released. Hang ur head in shame Donald Mcintyre

Agree0 Disagree0

I think everbody will find that the medals will be given to the players in the next couple of days.Better still why not hold off and give the players two medals each at the end of the season....rab watp

Agree0 Disagree0

Everyone can read the paper post a decent story

Agree0 Disagree0

Apparently they were offered to Celtic football club but club officials had no idea what a title medal looks like so opted out of the purchase.

4 in a row

Agree0 Disagree0

'This is a non story. The medals were released. Hang ur head in shame Donald Mcintyre'

Donald mcIntyre is trying to get what he believes he was owed, as we all would if we had a greviance with our employer. When he discovered what had happened he was horrified and ordered the release of the medals. Well done, Donald Mcintyre.

Agree0 Disagree0

It was Donald McIntyre who had the medals released. He had no idea the people acting for him were trying to have them frozen and when he found out he told them to leave them alone. In my opinion McIntyre hasn't done anything wrong, if I was owed £300k from an employer who were looking down the barrel of admin if things go bad i'd be making sure i had the amount frozen.

Agree0 Disagree0
