WeeHectorPar Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 After they pay it back (aye, right) they won't see it again. It was a loan. Technically they worked in exchange for a loan. Is that legal? Who mentioned the Truck Act a while ago? The EBTs however were supposed to take bonuses out of the tax system. The money was due to the players/staff but the idea was that they could get the money as a loan, invest it to make a profit and pay it back before getting it again when they retired to some tax haven where it wouldn't be taxed at all. An easily understandable scheme in companies where executives stay for many years but a total nightmare in the world of football where players change club and country on a regular basis and it can be almost impossible to recover money which is due. It also explains why Souness could be given a loan 10 years after leaving the club but this would imply that EBTs existed at Rangers many years before 2001. His EBT would have been put in place while he was still employed by the club but he did not request a loan until many years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm I wonder Mainstream Corporate Media (controlled by some of the wealthiest men on Earth) + Football Clubs (controlled by some of the wealthiest men on Earth) + Corporate Bookies (controlled by some of the wealthiest men on Earth) = Shysters Paradise. The Shysters Paradise serves as a major distraction dividing and distracting the proles permitting the shysters to scam until doomsday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeHectorPar Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It looks like that: the BBC knew at 5.10pm that the kick off over 2 and a half hours later was getting delayed So did every game they played at Ibrox in the SPL get delayed when 50,000 turned up for them? Of course, they all had Season Tickets then whereas now their bags of pennies need to be counted. Barrs will be delighted to have so many empty bottles returned to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLIEA Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Presume this game is a sell out. Have just driven back down from the gym and spotted 4 Sevco fans in full regalia outside a pub. Given that we are only about 3 mile from Castle Greyskull I can only conclude that they tried but couldn't get in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoonsLad Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I really hoped my earlier rant would have eased my blood pressure slightly: I should have known better than to listen to the match commentary for the East Fife game!! My God, could the comments from McLean and Ferguson (not to mention Chic!!) be any more sycophantic and drooling??!! They are absolutely salivating at how amazing Rangers are being, just how good they are, how it is clearly "men against boys" (one of them actually just said that!) Of course they should be better than East Fife!! They are spending a bloody fortune on players that can not sustainably afford!! Has no one learned any lessons from this whole sorry mess? Honest to God, the standard of remarks from the commentary team is just nauseating. Pure succulent lamb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Official attendance given as 38,160 and speculation on Radio Scotland that Rangers are at it in a 'declare less than the real amount' type of way. Same old, same old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsLad Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 So - still bloody cheating! McLean and Ferguson doing the only decent bit of commentary the whole night and admitting that the given attendance of 38,000 odd is just nonsense! Rangers obviously manipulating the figures to pocket the extra cash from about 10,000 more fans!! 10,000 people, at what, £15 a head someone said? £150,000 - East Fife would get half of that. What would £75,000 do for a club like East Fife? Utter contemptible cheats. Plus ca change...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araminta Moonbeam QC Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 So Rangers Trust say 50k earlier, now its only 38k. I know they like to leave early to get the Subway but still..... Someone's at it, one way or another....... The more things change, the more they stay the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Bet you Rangers think twice about walking away from £134M of debt again. They currently have a team loaded with SPL players and the 2nd biggest wage budget in Scotland. So glad the authorities didn't bottle punishing them. You could sum this up with walk away from mega debt with the punishment of div 3, god only knows how long they'll be out the SPL with all this reconstruction talk. The only meaningful punishment was the transfer embargo. That was until they slapped a buy now pay later on it, and it became a waste of time. The fact they are in div 3 wasn't handed to them by the authorities either, but the chairmen of the 41 other clubs. They weren't even made to apply. Getting away with murder still eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
