    Now that Ashley has sold his shares, they def have the votes to get through the vote on the share issue. Only takeover panel ruling in the way now.

    They seem to have been selling the strips at a significantly lower price than is usual. I wonder why. The most common reason for discounted clothing is to clear space for a new season's stock, but we're told they're using the same strips as last season. You'd have thought they'd charge the maximum the market could stand to cash in on the pent-up demand. That gives the possibility that the business currently has more concern for cashflow than profit.

    The directors have supplied further loans to bring in the new players. I suspect there's a business plan that's heavily dependent on European success, so they've already spent a significant proportion of the 17/18 season to increase the chance of achieving that, and as a result are very short of cash until ST instalments arrive. When the accounts appear later in the year the cash position at 30th June will be interesting.

    Wrong to take anything that comes out of Dave King/ level 5s mouths at face value.

    John James, PMG and James Forrest are pretty scathing about the accuracy of what the press are reporting.

    e.g. Are Rangers actually getting any money for the current merchandise sales as they still owe SD for last year's unsold stock, they may owe Puma money too?

    I think it's fair to say that any Rangers/The Rangers meltdown is well and truly over.

    They no longer have the Ashley situation looming over them, can issue new shares and (allegedly) have the benefit of the money from retail sales again.

    I realise they have the Soft Loans to pay off but I'd imagine that won't be an issue in the long term.

    Doing the rounds on Facebook, not sure how true it is. I'd imagine the club would have been very clear about the date it was beginning to receive a share after they were so public about the boycott

    Seems everyone bar the huns are saying it is true, huns are saying its a wind up/not true. I personally I'll believe the majority


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    A 'Daily Rectum' article, which will make members of the 'M***n-Loyal' happy and proud but at the same time, ensure that all the other fans of Scottish Football will be p***ing themselves laughing at a club which forces it's fully-grown, adult manager to utter such inane drivel !

    I've just had a squint at the revised SFA Licencing requirements.

    According to my reading, RFC had what is known as "indicators" in their accounts, ie that the Audit Report was not unqualified. Because of that, they are required to furnish the following:-

    Where the Indicators apply, licence applicants must prepare and submit future financial
    information in order to demonstrate to the Scottish FA their ability to continue as a
    going concern until the end of the licence season.
    Future financial information consists of:
    a) A budgeted profit and loss account;
    b) A budgeted cash flow; and
    c) Explanatory notes including a brief description of each of the significant assumptions
    (with reference to the relevant aspects of historic financial and other information)
    that have been used to prepare the budgeted profit and loss account and cash flow
    statement, as well as of the key risks that may affect the future financial results


    I am assuming that they have supplied that information, as they have been granted an SFA Licence. I can't see any other way in which they might have breached the regulations, which is why there has been no complaint from anyone else.

    The list of licenced clubs is forwarded to UEFA by 31st May, for their own review. That review will include the issues of the directors' funding. Whether or not that has been done, we can't tell. However, given that RFC are already in the draw, I'm not sure that there will be any expulsion or refusal. If they are punished, it will be financial.

    I'm not saying I agree with the process,.... I'm just laying out the process as I understand it.
    I bet they wish they hadn't been granted that license now hahaha....

    But who is liable for each tax bill as a result of the ruling, The Liquidators of the deceased club or the employees who benefitted??

    The assessment in this case was on the company. So HMRC will join the queue of creditors and get a small percentage.

    Who is going to put pressure on SFA now to look at the flawed LNS report. People like Campbell Ogilvie have to be held to account.

    Summary of all the peepul who benefited courtesy of JJ:

    https://johnjamessite.com/2017/07/05...n-for-dummies/

    As I anticipated, the BDO appeal failed. The rulings by the inner house of The Court of Session continue to hold sway. EBT were a means of disguising remuneration. Stewart Regan and Neil Doncaster, the architects of the kangaroo LNS commission, will now climb up Bill Nimmo Smith's arse and hope that the storm blows over. Here's a newsflash for the corrupt officials: it won't. Justice will have to be seen to be done, including title-stripping, or Scottish football is going to hell in a hand basket. The SNP must intervene and insist that David Murray is stripped of his title.

    £47m of evaded tax was used to attract players that Rangers could otherwise have not afforded to gain a competitive advantage and rack up 20 titles. Those who paid to watch games played on a level playing field had their eyes gouged by the following gallery of greedy tax-evading rogues:

    THE LIST OF RANGERS EBT PAYMENTS
    Alan Hutton, £364,000: Made debut in 2002 and played 94 games, before £9million move to Spurs.
