  1. Why were they allowed to run up such a tax debt in the first place? I'm sure HMRC knew Rangers owed them long before the figure reached £49m. The same goes for Portsmouth. It stinks that clubs can live beyond their means and expect to get away with it. Thanks to Ashley taking the unpopular, painful (but correct) route of running NUFC as a business we are probably now one of the best financially run clubs around.

     

    I don't think it's been a case of racking up the debt and the taxman not calling it in until now.  It's more a case of Rangers, over many years, paying players wages into offshore accounts to avoid PAYE contributions.  HMRC have now turned around and said "erm, actually, that's illegal" and they want the PAYE conts backdated to when Rangers started trying to work the system.  That's why the figure is as high as it is.  It wasn't knowingly ignored, it just took a while for them to get caught.

  2. Written off.

     

    Tis the public limited way.

     

    Edit: Administrators will try and get as much out of any assets to pay creditors (HMRC being the priority), firstly.

     

    Are the rules different in Scotland?  In England "footballing" creditors are the priority and HMRC have to fight for the money with the rest of the normal creditors, it's why Portsmouth escaped liquidation since they were able to pay pennies in the pound for their major debts.

    Whyte is the only secured creditor, HMRC will get nowt if they go into Administration as Whyte gets priority.

     

    Will be hilarious if they go out of business and have to start in the Scottish lower leagues.

     

    Would be even funnier to watch the spl fall apart, especially when "they don't need Rangers"

     

    They don't, or Celtic either.

     

    Be a much better league of those two f***ed off, ask any other teams fan up there.

     

    They'll loose nearly all tv money, you think sky/espn will pay money for Inverness v Kilmarnock?

     

    No but a deal is close to being struck with the History Channel for the rights to Rangers games.

  3. So ho much do they owe the taxman then?

     

    £75m.

     

    f*** off! :lol:

     

    You are joking aren't you?

     

     

     

    Straight from the horses mouth, that's the figure Craig Whyte quoted in his SSN interview earlier.

  4. Disappointing.

     

     

    Celtic would have been funnier.

     

    They'll be next.  For the vast majority of old firm fans, supporting their club has f*** all to do with football and everything to do with sectarian hatred.  They can't live without eachother.

     

    Celtic are in great financial shape.

     

    Also, replace 'majority' with 'minority'.

     

    I've never met an old firm fan who isn't a bigot.  It usually manifests itself after a few pints.

  5. Disappointing.

     

     

    Celtic would have been funnier.

     

    They'll be next.  For the vast majority of old firm fans, supporting their club has fuck all to do with football and everything to do with sectarian hatred.  They can't live without eachother.

  6. The most hilarious thing is that their 10pt deduction would still leave them 9 points clear of the club in third. Sums up that league.

     

    Tactically doing it now because they've virtually conceded the title anyway.

     

    Do they actually have the same points deduction there?

     

    edit: Checks out that they have 10pt deduction.

     

    BUT, they're only 4 pts behind Celtic, surely it's a smidge early to concede the title voluntarily.

     

    Their points total is the least of their worries.  They're on the brink of closure.

  7. When Ferguson was asked about Evra's victory dance he said "well he shouldn't have done that".  That's all Dalglish had to say about the Suarez incident.  He couldn't do it though.  He's an out of touch fucking dinosaur and the paranoid unwashed masses lap it all up.  As for Suarez, Danny Taylor from the Guardian summed him up pretty well - "his brains are all in his feet".
