Generic Sevco / Rangers meltdown thread

**EasterRoad4Ever** · 13-02-2012 04:01 PM

This is going to be the longest thread in Hibs.net history, and one of the most creative, enjoyable and interesting

***Seveno*** · 13-02-2012 04:01 PM

Have we had a statement yet from El Salmondo in a bid to win over the Unionist vote ?

***NORTHERNHIBBY*** · 13-02-2012 04:03 PM

Have to say I find this news a bit confusing. The new owner must have known that this was on the cards, so why didn't they sell their playing assests when the window was open? I know that wouldn't have made him popular but how will he be seen if they go pop altogether? I have no real sympathy though. Any club in their situation that are still owing a team a payment for James Beattie, a past it long gone journeyman, deserve all they get.

If Hibs went in to administration today it would be embarrassing in a business sense but I would have absolutely no fear of us going out of business. Administration is a cheats charter, a situation used by businesses sometime almost as a business tool. Rangers aren't ****ed their creditors are.

An excellent point and all too often forgotten. They have cheated for years and now they will cheat their way out of trouble. Anybody believe this wasn't on Whyte's agenda all along? The creep should be jailed but he will probably emerge from this richer whilst the poors sods he has stiffed pay the price for Rangers survival.

SSN suggesting that Huns FC going into Adnim now to deny us law-abiding taxpayers from first creditor rights. Whyte would get first bite.

I really hope the HMRC go gunning for the Huns and pursure them to the grave :green grin Close that odious institution and remove the smell that has hung over Scottish football and society for decades

***Hibbyradge*** · 13-02-2012 04:05 PM

I don't understand all the glee.

Huns are about to become debt free in return for accepting 2nd place in the league this year.

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick again?

What's with the jelly and ice cream thing the Celtic fans keep talking about?

Celtic sing "we will be having jelly and icecream when rangers die, jelly and ice cream when rangers die!" over and over

The phone-in programme on Radio Clyde should be a good laugh tonight, so i'll be tuning in on-line.

Here's the link if anyone else wants to listen to some raging huns.

HMRC at £49 million = you and me

Surely all those songs pledging loyalty to the Crown means that they will settle their tax bill anyway? Or are their 'traditions' just a sham too?

This is where I'm at too.

I have a feeling it will be business as usual in a year or two.

I am sure that all the 'loyal' fans will put their hands in their pockets.

If they lose the HMRC case, Administration will not save them. They will be liquidated and have to start all over again with applications to the league. Ibrox will become public property (probably owned by HMRC - i.e. you and me - so we could in theory go for a kick about on a weekday

And they made sure Cousin was signed before they were prevented from doing so by Administration. It's one of the most cynical and despicable manouevres seen in Scottish business, let alone in football.

Thats what i've been thinking as well, it has been funny watching the rangers fans ***** themselves though, heard one on the news earlier and his voice was breaking a bit like he was going to cry, normally i'm not one to laugh at a man showing his emotions like that but in the case of a hun i'll make an exception.

Horrible horrible football club.

**gav71** · 13-02-2012 04:12 PM

Has anyone else been told from any huns that apparently rangers don't own ibrox,Murray park etc but a sister company of them how could this affect things as far as selling of any assets also told all players are now owned by the sister company apparently so none of it can be stripped is this possible

**~~Hibercelona~~** · 13-02-2012 04:12 PM

Isn't administration great?

Run up a huge ridiculous amount of debt over the years (while ripping sensible teams apart on the field), then lose 10 points and be as good as new again.

Wouldn't it be funny if they've been trading while insolvent :green grin Directors go to jail

With the amount of crap we've had to put up with from them over the years i say GIRUT

***Seveno*** · 13-02-2012 04:16 PM

Perhaps when they go into liquidation, STF could buy both the Huns and the Yams and re-develop the land.

HMRC will hunt them down. There is no way the Huns will retain ownership of Hunbrox.

Any reason why you're so sure?

**EasterRoad4Ever** · 13-02-2012 04:20 PM

Statement from Huns just now on SSN. Sounds very much like they're trying to avoid a "run on the bank" i.e. fans not buying STs for next year, looking for refunds, creditors doing business with them.

They are in deep do dos and trying desperately to stem a potential collapse of confidence in the Company. Oh this is such fun
