Thornhill's admission to the players paying tax and NI would only be acceptable if the loans were to be considered Benefits in Kind and the tax due would only be on any interest due on " loans " the players received from their Trusts.

'It is, as always, very difficult to make an assessment of the mood of the court, but the impression given is that the court was unwilling to entertain HMRC’s argument that the employee had immediate access to the EBT assets and was less than wholly convinced that their arguments on diverted earnings were correct'
Opinions from the legal/business-minded of the Hibees on here, please ?. Does this say the Hun will win ?
Is Dave King's Sevco time up?

I've no idea.
Much like Phil Mac really.
It's easy enough to speculate that certain Sevco board members would want him out.
Having the announcement of their new manager overshadowed by King's typically sour rant defending his shadowy business dealings would be pretty galling.
More fall outs among the People !

Appears as if there's all sorts of behind the scenes machiavellian events being played out. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if an admin event is on the cards sooner rather than later. I don't believe for a second King will pony up on the ordered share offer.

GERS QC BUST Footie lawyer who defended Rangers’ EBT scheme goes bankrupt over HRMC debt days before Ibrox tax case
Andrew Thornhill represented he club in 2012
EXCLUSIVE

THE barrister defending Rangers’ EBT scheme went bankrupt over tax debts days before the club’s case called.
Andrew Thornhill QC was declared bust after a petition by HMRC.
The following week the former Gers tax lawyer, 73, appeared at the Supreme Court over the Ibrox oldco’s use of employee benefit trusts.
A source said yesterday: “It is quite ironic that the man seen as being behind the whole EBT scheme has been made bankrupt by HMRC.
“He will have been allowed to carry on working, provided he notifies the Bar Standards Board. But this news will surprise Rangers fans and raise a lot of questions.”
Thornhill successfully represented the oldco club in their 2012 £75million battle with the taxman.
A hearing ruled they owed less than the amount originally demanded, but that decision was overturned at the Court of Session in 2015.
Liquidators BDO — represented by Mr Thornhill — are challenging the decision.
The case called at the Supreme Court in London last week and five judges are considering the verdict.
If the decision is upheld, the bust Ibrox firm could owe up to £95million.
The bankruptcy order against Mr Thornhill was made on March 8. The Bar Standards Board said: “It is not a bar to practising.”
If he keeps practicing eventually he might get good at it?
I like the idea that the the rangers / the now defunct Glasgow rangers (maybe- depending on which court case it is) can't do any better than being represented by a flush that sounds as busted as their own.[emoji1]
