Rangers 2011/2012.

Your team is falling apart. LOL @ bringing back Nacho to solve your problems.
We have been behind at New Year the last 3 times and won the league. The bottlers at shame fc will as usual bottle it. It was a good win today with our 2 strikers out.

I don't think Healey will be enough. Your squad it totally -

I'm sure most of you have seen this already, but it makes for interesting reading. It's the "Rangers supporters Assembly" facebook account of their meeting with Craig Whyte:

- No scope for negotiating a settlement with HMRC due to the criticism they have had from MPs and the Media about some high-profile "deals". That means the case could take even more time to resolve as any outcome is likely to be appealed by either party.

- If the decision is adverse and the Club appeal, HMRC can still seek to enforce the decision - not clear if they would but they can start to pursue payment of the tax liability.

- He hopes "Rangers Football Club Plc" could survive any administration event but feels it would not be the end of the world if it didn't - I think he said that at our last meeting.


So it seems like Whyte is preparing himself for the strong possibility of losing the case, dissolving Rangers and starting again from scratch. It may be a bit of posturing intended to intimidate HMRC into taking a less favorable amount but if it does happen then I think the SPL and SFA will be put in a difficult position in terms of appropriate punishment.

Certainly it would be difficult to argue that you should be able to engage in financial doping, declare insolvency and then get a free ride back to the top.

No, even with Whyte's recent remarks to the RSA the worst case scenario will be administration which football wise is just a 10 point deduction

Why do you think it will be administration and not liquidation?

Rangers will still be here, don't worry about that.

Don't get me wrong. Nothing would please me more than having Rangers stick around and be fully accountable for their years of cheating.

Because I don't think the amount that will be settled on, if HMRC 'win', will be anything close to the £49m plus. £20 million would be real trouble for Rangers as Whyte admitted. That amount would, imho, make administration most likely and liquidation not.
 
I'd be happy with that. I'm obviously far from an expert in these things but I would expect that they would be pretty seriously financially curtailed by an administrator and would have a fair bit of trouble attracting players. Which seems like an apt punishment for what they did.

Not necessarily, administration itself doesn't carry such penalties. However the financial strictures that may lead to administration are the problem.
 
I meant more that with an administrator running the show the budget would be likely to be even tighter as they attempt to satisfy the debtors and as such would have trouble advertising themselves as an attractive transfer destination.

Or do I just not understand administration? That's entirely possible.

Or as we in the real world call it playing the game. As for cheating try shame fc, they have tried every trick in the book to beat Rangers and we are still winning.
