Not sure that would be allowed.

Even if it is, I'm sure HMRC and others would race them to the Court.

Maybe they are getting confused with USC who have appointed Duff and Phelps as administrators. (They are owned by Ashley)

The Daily Record has had a major Rangers story every day for 3 years. Even when in 3rd division the paper has been the most loyal of servants and whilst other tabloids backed off a little the Record always elevated a Rangers story to back page headlines.

It truly has shown it's colours as a Rangers fanzine and a paper of 'ra peepel'

Keith Jackson's take on the current situation:-

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/f...battle-4941494

The article contains a specific statement that Rangers need £6.5m cash within 48 hours. I can't think of anything that size which could be due in such a short time, so let's see what happens.

It's a classic "football-writer-submits-business-story" article.
Pure guff and speculation.

So we have:

The Krays
The King
The Three Bears
The Godfather of Govan

Any nicknames for Ashley yet?

Some redundancies at the USC warehouse in Ayrshire, apparently. That won't help Ashley's reputation with the fans.

Ah Phil..... he really never disappoints when you're looking for a myopic sneering waste of space talking absolute horlicks.

All about opinions I guess.

The problem with the Rangers situation is that the whole thing has been set up to not make RFC succeed but to line the pockets of the spivs.

We will have to wait and see whether there is a £6.5m debt due from something that was well concealed previously.

Phil is no more, or less, a spoofer than anyone else in the reporting of this saga...

He had his uses in the early days when MSM wasn't telling these stories. Now, though, I wonder if he feels the need to be "ahead of the game" all the time. ...hence he latches on to rumours which have little substance; because it's him that is retelling the stories, his previous reputation gives them credibility.

That said, if this story is correct, Rangers' auditors will be looking out their insurance policies.

I'm a bit confused as he didn't feel the need to provide the details as to what this unexpected new bill/debt was for.

Any ideas?

Sure, but auditors can only audit what they have been told about or what is obvious from other public records.

That's the big hole in the story for me.

I can't think what it could be.

I must admit, his writing gives the impression he's completely up his own arse, and there seem to be plenty of replies below from people who are desperate to join him.

There was speculation on KDS it might have something to do with the original £ 5.5 million plus interest borrowed in 2012 to buy the club assets from Duff and Phelps.

Maybe some small print saying if the sum is'nt repaid by a certain date it falls due by by the Club.
