No doubt his assets are in another family members name and this bankruptcy will be a way of shielding himself from HMRC when they come calling for EBT monies.Quote:

This isn't about the EBT tax. It's about the investment he, and others, made into film schemes which failed, and for which tax relief was denied. He's not the first to go this way, and he won't be the last.Quote:

My guess is that it's HMRC who have made him bankrupt.Quote:

So much for Budge being a breath of fresh air in Scottish football.

No f that's the case? I will no longer pay into Scottish Football.
I think they are terrified that they are going to be dragged into this. Lith authorities, as far as I am aware, are still looking for Vlad and a missing £300m and I cant imagine what might come out if they find him. Theres also the matter of UBIG and UKIO, with a combined shareholding of 79% and representatives on the board of directors, being designated as having no links to Hearts therefore carrying the CVA against HMRC. That is essentially the reason they got the CVA and Rangers didn't.Quote:

Are Budge and Robertson two cheeks of the same erse now? [emoji32]
Or just part of the big cover up? Lucky most of us will never need legal advice to understand how the now defunct Glasgow rangers and teams like them really did gain an unfair advantage. The game appears to be over as far as "sporting integrity" is concerned.

I'm 100% in favour of stripping the titles away but I have some sympathy with those members of the footballing authorities, eg Budgie, who are having to deal with the sins of the past. I can also understand the trepidation some may feel because as we all know, Johnny Hun is not really a rational or intelligent beast when it comes to accepting decisions against them. I do believe there may be a reasonable compromise but I'm not sure the SPFL etc will have the courage to take this action. They could release a statement along the following lines;
We have sought legal advice & regrettably that advice is we do not have the authority to remove league titles & other trophies gained in the period x-y from the team formerly known as Rangers FC. There is no doubt however that as a result of malfeasance on the part of Rangers' management & board, that some of their players were improperly registered at the time these trophies were won. Had that information been available to the governing footballing authorities at that time then Rangers would not have been permitted to play in or would have been expelled from those competitions.
I'm not holding my breath & my draft is a tad provocative but I genuinely believe that a statement in principle along these lines would satisfy nearly everyone bar The Green Brigade!
It could also include something along the lines of: "given that Rangers were liquidated in 2012, etc etc ..."
"We can't punish them as they are different clubs, pretending to be the same club, while allowing them to have all the tainted trophies and medals gained from the other club".
Or they just keep asking till someone gives the answer they want?Quote:

"We have taken advice from our Legal Expert, Mr Donald Findlay, and he has advised us that there are no legal grounds on which to strip 'The Glorious Ranjurs' of any titles. He also mentioned something about the Pope and WeeArraPeepul, but that's another matter..."
Boycott Scotland games at hampden.
It would get plenty of publicity around Europe and let the reason behind it made known why it is happening as I'm pretty sure other countries really don't no that our game is being run by corrupt people, FFS, basically comes down to that clubs are feared to upset The Rangers and the corrupt people who allow this to happen also.
Sporting integrity was the cry not that long ago, seems that is not the case now.
I'll definitely not be watching any SFA teams from now on.Quote:

They may not know that our game is. But i'm sure they'll know that their own game is.Quote:
