Ravelin Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm off for lunch, but before I go.... 66.That shortly before 19 September 2011 Mr Ken Olverman was awarethat Rangers FC were due to make a payment to HMRC in respect of PAYE income tax, National Insurance Contributions and Value addedTax. On making enquiry with Mr Craig Whyte about said payments,he was not authorised to make the payment which was therefore notpaid on the due date. Upon his expressing his concern to Mr CraigWhyte Mr Ken Olverman was in due course instructed that paymentsto HMRC were to be suspended and withheld. At the time of the first withheld payment in September 2011 Rangers FC’s financial situation was such that it could have made the payment due to HMRC Basically, as far it sounds as if all the other directors were pretty much frozen out after Whyte took over and he ran the whole club as a dictatorship. None of the other directors made anywhere near enough noise about it though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismcarab Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 So TBK have not had their offer accepted and have pulled out. What a surprise... It's also wrong. If you've been knocked back, it doesn't mean you had the choice, it means 'no thanks'. You can't 'claim' to pull out when you've been told GTF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamaroSaint Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 1301: FOOTBALLRangers' adminstrators Duff & Phelps say there are four bids on the table for the troubled club and they are locked in talks with lawyers all day, but progress is being made. From BBC. What do you think they're discussing with lawyers - their fee? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The approach these bidders seem to be taking is one much akin to when I'm on football manager, have a pishy transfer budget but keep bidding marginally higher and higher for players who I'd like to have but are just outwith the realms of possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 the FANS need to know. totally bolloks of course, but im sure that kinda populist gesturing will get a fair hearing in our media Unfortunately so. All the fans needed was Rangers to say, "we know and, in accordance with the rules we voted for, the panel will remain anonymous" Early on in this process ordinary punters (i.e. us) were being largely ignored. However as pressure grew, the survey of fans gained publicity and people started writing letters and sending e-mails to their club chairmen it became more difficult to ignore us. Anyone who has listened to Sportsound or read the tabloids over the last few weeks will have realised that despite the likes of Young and Traynor the message was finally breaking through. I would like to think that the realisation in the football establishment about depth of feeling amongst fans will go a long way to making it difficult for this appeal panel to overturn the initial findings and penalties. So, what youre saying is P&B saved Scottish football? That should be worth a few more advertising dollars Is that English lot the hoods that tried to buy Raith and then us? Highly, highly unlikely. The lot that were sniffing around Raes shares had no money 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckinho Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I can picture the press conference of Kennedy now -> Rangers are being unreasonable in not accepting my reasonable offer -> That assumes Rangers to be reasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's unapologetic. He's a twat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 It's also wrong. If you've been knocked back, it doesn't mean you had the choice, it means 'no thanks'. You can't 'claim' to pull out when you've been told GTF Not entirely right. I see it as them handing over a crumpled £5 note and some dross, to be told that they don't have enough by the cashier, so they decide "well I can't spend anymore, cause I need the rest for my busfare home. I'll just have to give up, altogether then." In other words, I see this as them pulling out of the race altogether because they can't improve their offer, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
