Monkey#2: "We could crack the crest and lampoon the owner like we did with Romanov?" Monkey#1: "YOU'RE FIRED!!!... Anyone else?" Monkey#3: "Erm...

Boris Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Slightly off at a tangent, but on the Scottish news this morning on BBC1 there was a piece about a Price Waterhouse report on the state of Scottish Football's finances. The parting comment was how, "...some clubs are even having problems paying their tax bills..." as the visual shot was the iron gates outside Ibrox. Coincidence? Hmmm.....

Gods a Jambo Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Iam not surprised in the slightest with Keith "the hun" Jackson's, arse licking style of reporting, that could be taken directly from a Rangers match day programme. The man has been given a platform to say what he likes without fear of any questions he cant answer, for example. "Whyte wouldnt be drawn on what exactly the mechanism for dealing with a massive tax liability is but if Rangers lose the case, scheduled now for November, and a repayment agreement cant be reached administration would become a possibility. Even so, Whyte said: Rangers will still be here long after were all dead and buried." Amazing!, A bill which could potentialy end Rangers, and low and behold he wouldnt be drawn onto exactly how he would pay it! Sorry, arse licker Jackson, you never even asked, like the good boy you are. The bias within the media is being shown up for all to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ive just written a s1million cheque for James Beattie. Thats money p****d away." And...

132goals1958 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 The decision to pledge future season ticket income could turn out to be a real watershed. Effectively they have factored future income to meet their short/medium term working capital requirements. Whichever finance house they are dealing with will obviously want some form of security, and I would guess debt servicing / interest charges will not come cheap. They may however try and recoup some of those costs by increasing the season ticket prices in the ensuing years. Whatever way you look at it, they are discounting season ticket income, which in their precarious position is a risky strategy. The ring fencing of ?500k today can only add to their woes and it is fairly apparent Whyte is more or less trying to buy time. It was interesting to here is assertion that no matter what, Rangers will always survive and play at Ibrox. Seems he may be gambling on a share flotation (a la Fergus McCann) or setting up a phoenix company. I think the last option would perhaps prevent him from using the liquidated Rangers name but no doubt they would find some way round it. As an aside I recall some Rangers fans giving us some stick on the day we had the SOH march from Saughton Park ?(we played them that day.) Do I want them to go through the mill? ?
