The £20 million they have won't even touch the sides of the big tax case

It's a collage of great "thistle minded" people's faces, just think you'll have Cowan, Bates, Hughes, etc faces smiling back in a Andy Warhol style physcadellic top

Spot on, plus they can sell the assets

Freddy Scottish football will be finished as it will be seen as more corrupt than it already is, what's to stop all 11 other SPL clubs going on a massive spending spree liquidate and all start -10 points in the same league Liquidation will not screw HMRC as much as admin at 20p in the pound as they will be able to sell Ibrox, Murray park and the players contracts which are owned by the club which will get them more than the £12 million put aside by blue knights for creditors. If Rangers new owners pull themselves out of admin it will be before the big tax case is charged, and with no European football, season ticket money gone and the wage bill going back to 100% in June they will not be a viable or sustainable business, so admin again. But if admin can keep the delays going till the summer when there's no football taking place it is a safer time to break the news. Remember these administrators were brought in by Whyte on his remit and were also involved in his takeover of the club, double standards? Not to mention they have been involved in liquidating and asset stripping other firms Whytes been involved in making themselves and Whyte tidy profits every time

The reason there are bidders are that duff & phelps (craig whytes administrators & the people he used to do the takeover of rangers and other companys) have told them that HMRC will get 20 to 25p in the pound. HMRC will not except that, they may take that as a down payment, to be paid immedietly but will be looking at a minimum of 80p in the pound. They cannot allow a precedent to be set as there are other big cases on the horizon, and not all football. If a precedent is set all businesses could effectively run up huge tax bills and then offer a 20p in the pound based on the rangers case. The £135 million is apparently not all the debt, there is more to come, including another income tax and VAT from after the last small one. The assets Ibrox and Murray park are apparently owned by Whyte not Rangers to stop the tax man selling them, but under the new crime laws assets acrued through fraud, tax evasion etc can be seized by the crown to pay back the debt. HMRC have apparently told Salmond to keep his nose out as the case is between the company and the crown and political bias cannot be used to predjudice it. There is alot of spin coming out of Ibrox about being able to wipe the debt, this is a stalling tactic which allows the admins to run up huge costs (Likely to come in at £3 million by the end, with only £2million coming into the club, another £1million in the hole). Expect this to drag on another 6 weeks till close season in the SPL before the bombshell hits, or if a group buys see them file for admin or push through liquidisation then. My close relative who was pretty high in HMRC for scotland does not see a way out for Rangers except liquidation unless some crazy oil sheikh comes in with over £100 million to pay the debts.

To run the pie stall???

Do we need someone to stand on the bing with a hard hat on?

So have I - we're doomed

I think we'll win tomorrow, and no I ain't been drinking

Lenny read my next post too, shouting and screaming like a mad man is not his style, hes an encourager, if that works we'll see, both styles can work both can fail

And who is going to admit to it and end up in trouble with the SFA & probably HMRC to boot

Just to add to that there are always 2 styles of management either on the shop floor or football the noisy angry aggressive ones who can terrify you when your under performing Or the pally nice ones who encourage your performance both work but only if the team/squad/workforce has a respect for them.

Complete opposite from how I've been told he is as a manager and when he was a player both on the park and of it, from someone who played against him and in same side and has played against us under his management, but that's not every managers style

Is that the first time youve opened your wallet since 1986???

So your happy with 4th spot then?

Tom, well done with the programme something i look forward to getting back or my parents visiting ir reading my backlog of programmes my dads put aside for me in my abscence. I think i have almost every home programme stretching back to 85, i'll wait till i have a full 50yrs then auction them

All good points I'd also limit the amount of live games shown in SPL to 1 a month and keep the rest of the games at 3pm on a Saturday as much as possible, try to encourage folk back by taking the sit at home product away a bit, and making the live games a wee bit more special unlike the football overload on telly today

I remember going to hampden to see the jags play queens park in the glasgow cup back in the late 80's i think, Lex Grant scored and there were about 10 of us on the terracing opposite the main stand and about 150 in the ground, very eerie set up, nae pie stall open and the cops wouldnt let us nip across the park at half time for a pie. Oh and we managed to get on the soccer special coming back from parkhead that night where rangers had beat St Johnstone in the semi final of the scottish cup, not a great experience.

Agree and it should be done in a civilized manner, if you talk to people like sh*t expect to get it back, a wee smile and abit of politeness goes along way especially to your regulars (the home support)

This reads the problem to me if correct, the steward in question according to Uberteed was not enquiring, but was confrontational, and threatening. There is no need for that to paying customers.
