Rangers fan here - very sad about the demise of my club. Please keep the gloating to a minimum - I can't stop myself reading this thread even though I know I shouldn't...

Your having a laugh surely? Almost 15 years of cheating their way to titles and trophies and you want opposing fans not to gloat?
 
The appalling mismanagement and criminality by Murray and Whyte is to blame. The Revenue are quite right: why should they accept 9% of what they are owed by a bunch of tax dodgers ? Liquidation will allow them to (at least try to) expose how this happened, bring those responsible to justice and hopefully lay down an example of what happens to those who cheat.
 
Scottish football is dreadful as it is. Without Rangers it will be even worse, Celtic competing against ermmm nobody.Snore.

Scottish football is dreadful, doubt anyone can argue that, but's it's always nice to get confirmation from someone looking from the outside in.I'm sure if we had the same cash injection from Murdoch as The EPL had we'd think we were great too.Shame your national team isn't much better than ours.

Expected that comment:ears:

Nah, more along the lines of some local rivalries and a bit of atmosphere at the matches instead of the sterile SPL

As a Hibby who was kinda looking forward to another 'great adventure', I agree.The SPL in it's current guise is stale, it needs dramatic reform.16/18 team league, playing each other twice a season, the removal of the insane all seater requirement ( see what Ross County are having to do), set fixture times in stone, one game Friday night, one game sunday night, the rest at 3pm on Saturday.There is your two TV games.Minimum of 6 home grown players.
Dunfie and your chairman are exactly the kind of club The SPL needs,not the likes of the guy at Killie who'd knock his grannie over to help out the hun.

Plus, your steak bridies are magnificent.
 
All Rangers players are now free to walk away is that correct????

New company with no players, no European football for 3 years. Cheerio.

Jack and I are going to celebrate tonight, two lumps of ice and a can of coke.

From what I gather the SFA "own" the contratcs when the axe falls.
 
Always sad to see a football team go to the wall regardless of their size/politics.

I hope those responsible for the demise are brought to justice. I won't hold my breath.

Maybe all the Rangers fans can now support the other Glasgow team... :ooo:

Contracts transfer to Newco as per TUPE ruling.

No matter what the Huns die as their current form on Thursday,no ifs,no buts,no mibees,no panels,no bidders,deed and gone forever this week.

Charles Green just been on the radio saying HMRC have mislead Rangers............you really could not make it up.

I have a couple of quid spare,anyone fancy going halfers on Kirk Broadfoot?

Yorkston sometimes says a bit too much and can occasionally embarrass the club a little but thats what happens when you have a fan running the club and not just a business man, he tends to speak from the heart rather than the head. But he has Dunfermline Athletics best interest at heart and thats the main thing.

And yes the steak bridies are rather good.

I find it quite hilarious watching and reading all these interviews with former Rangers players and board members who all seem to think they have been hard done by and are being picked on. Are they for real or do they really believe that:rofl:

I would normally agree with you AW but sorry not in this case.

Rangers have spent millions and millions of other peoples money and avoided paying taxes illegally and have reaped success out of it. They have cheated ever other team in Scotland for the last 15 years or so and deserve every punishment coming to them.

I guess I feel sorry for the fans and those not responsible for the running of the club. It's not their fault and they run the risk of losing the club that they love.

Those responsible for the non payment of taxes/financial mismanagment need to be brought to task.

should the people / players who got money from these loophole schemes not be liable to pay back taxes. if i don't pay my tax they chase me to get it back

My understanding (and it's hard to keep up) is that tax was deducted at source but not paid (along with other bills) since Whyte took over so that's on the club rather than its employees. Other allegations may well be borne out in the fullness of time but are currently unproven pending the outcome of the "big tax case". Admittedly, it doesn't look good. :(

Thanks AW - the voice of reason.

Don't feel sorry for the Rangers fans. They've revelled in the successes gained by cheating and gloated at the rest of Scottish football while doing so.
 
My grandfather will be turning in his grave- he took me to Ibrox and lifted me over the turnstyles everyweek as an excited 6 year old......

Its sad to see it go this way, these 'business people' I hope will face their responsibilities and justice will be seen to be served.
