Rangers 2011/2012.

In an effort to save money and pay the taxes they owe, Glasgow Rangers FC are planning to sell all their players in the summer and replace them with 22 junkies and crackheads they found in the toilets at Queen Street station.
Bookies are still making them second favourites to win the SPL next season.

What about the cups ?
 
You know, I don't think I could love these headlines more if I was writing them myself.

Rangers administration: 'Invisible' £24m probed

Meanwhile, former Rangers chairman Alastair Johnston has asked the Crown Office to investigate Craig Whyte's acquisition of the club.
He said: "I have today written to the Crown office asking for an investigation into the background surrounding the acquisition of Rangers Football Club by Craig Whyte, and in particular whether there is evidence of fraud."

If this is true then it looks like Whyte DID use fans Season Ticket money to fund his takeover....

Craig Whyte sold off four years of Rangers season tickets — one month before he bought the club.
The embattled owner flogged the seats to London-based Ticketus to fund his entire takeover last April — four weeks before he persuaded Sir David Murray to sell up for just £1.
Sportsmail can reveal Whyte convinced Ticketus to advance him £24.4million on the proviso that he would then buy Rangers. That cash was deposited into a client account with his London-based lawyer Collyer Bristow on April 7.

Whyte then showed Murray that balance as evidence he had sufficient funds to give Lloyds Bank the £18m they were owed — one of the key conditions of the sale.

He then bought Murray’s 85.3 per cent shareholding for £1 on May 6, paid off Lloyds and used Rangers employees’ personal tax — which should have been handed over to HMRC — to help run the club. Until it ran out and forced administration eight days ago, that is.


Uhoh........
 
That's pretty much the end of Whyte then.

The whole thing always had a bit of an air of being not right...and that's pretty much what has been fed to us as well, that whole not-rightness has always been there.

As a non-interested (in Scottish terms) observer this thing was probably all about the 9-in-a-row, that's when the most ridiculous excesses were in spending. Even if they disappear they'll be happy with that.

That wasn't Whyte.
 
If that's true (and I would be shocked that the Daily Mail would run it if it wasn't) that explains a lot.

So that brings up some obvious questions: Is it criminal? It's certainly dodgy as fuck. What does that mean for the floating charge? Can he really claim to have it by raising a loan borrowed against assets he didn't actually own yet?

In fairness, the current problems are more about Rangers trying to stay on top after the 9 in a row era. They problem they faced is that a financially secure Celtic emerged at the end of that and they had to up the ante to compete. Evidently the Murray board was prepared to take big risks to avoid being number 2.
 
Christ, if true, I wouldn't wish that on any football club and their supporters.

Might be a good idea for Whyte to invest in some plastic surgery.
 
Gordon Smith & Ali Russell out the door to cut costs. That's surely good news for Smith-he of 'And Smith must score' fame-as it means he can get back to caring for his family, which was the reason he gave for leaving the SFA.....
 
And it seems the tax dues ie the £9m since May last year and the 'wee tax case' plus what will be due the end of this month is not £9m but £14m+.

And not the constant hounding from the from a certain clubs fans and lackeys.
 
I'm getting confused by all of this now. Have they found the missing £24million yet?

Yes, the money he got from Ticketus, ie near all this £24m, is what he paid off the Lloyds debt with, so he didn't use his own money at all, contrary to his numerous claims and press releases.

So he is £14 million up, then? I mean, I take it the missing tax money isnt just sitting in the clubs account.

Well, £4.5 million is from the 'wee tax case', £9m is the PAYE/NI conts seemingly unpaid that it appears has been used on running costs, the latter £1m is the tax that will be due payday coming ie next week I think. So no he may well not have it in his coffers.
 
Apparently Andrew Dickson, Rangers media bod and an editor on one of their mags is disappointed about this picture..... He seems to think it's not going to go down well with the Rangers fans.... :D

Personally I don't think it had anything to do with your troublers. He was apparently doing a peromo for a competition to win an Italian holiday, I doubt it even figured.

Apart from the fact they sang about it for most of the match when they played them, you probably are right.
