Well more breaking news with Andy Little going to sign a new contract. Added to the fact Beattie and Black are training with us.
Is it just me who thinks there is league reconstruction definitely going to happen next season to get Rangers out of Div 3 and I don't mean by promotion? It may be deals have been done in secret behind the scenes.
As much as we are still a huge club and as much as there is some romance moving up the leagues for us fans. It's still amazing me players want to sign to play in the 3rd who have been playing in the SPL. it's not like we have Euro football to offer or anything. We can't be paying much either right now. Players are pretty selfish people these days and it's a bit of a shock tbh if things stay the same re leagues.
Is it just me?..

'mon dc, as far as I can see, this poster is a fine and upstanding example of liberal, open, forthright but honest opinion.

Severity of the charges. Oh, you mean the made up charges of tax avoidance due to running out of cash. A bit like the charges Dundee (twice) Motherwell (twice) and Livingston who all went into admin due to owing HMRC and then walked away from the debt and yet none were charged?
You mean those trial by media charges?

Castle,
I mean withholding PAYE and NIC. It's a huge, major no-no in the game.
I know it was apparently 'just one man' but that is ultimately no defence.
Can you imagine the punishment promoted by UEFA for withholding these monies from the state was a measly cup ban?

I heard somewhere that real and barca owe their government circa half a billion euro in tax
what punishment does UEFA proscribe for them?

This whole withholding PAYE and NIC.
Do you actually understand how it works when someone gets paid?
When a player gets paid money doesn't come into the club for that player and then we didn't not pay it from that amount. This is my whole media trial issue.
There is a big pot of money in and abig pot of money out when the former is less than the latter you go into admin.
As I said Motherwell (twice) Dundee (twice) and Livingston all went into admin due to owing HMRC. Erm how did they owe HMRC? Oh, yeah that's right they 'withheld' as you put it (ie didn't have the money) PAYE and NIC. Some people need things spelling out.
The only difference is the media jumped on our money owed and didn't the others. Everyone kept on saying we only want Rangers to get the same as any other club - Translation we want Rangers hammered for made up crimes.

Castle have you noticed that whenever you spell it out in simple factual termslike that it tends to be the end of the thread?

It's true Super and it's what frustrated me the most with the whole situation last year. The media where all over it saying Whyte didn't pay tax and printing his creditors list, but totally failing to mention 99% of the time when a club goes into admin it's due to HMRC wanting PAYE and NIC. Also fialing to mention their creditors will include other clubs and small business's. It was nothing other than the club running out of cash and the only punishment we should have got (rightly) was the 10 points. ,ok>
