To be rendered speechless over Rangers' outstanding tax bill

[Tanith]

£9 Million!!!

£9 Million!!!

How...??? Where...?!? I mean...HOW??!!

£9 MILLION!!!!!

And my reply to Rhonda was re her "old firm" tag. Why should Celtic be associated with this? No more old firm.

The nine million is new though eh.

I think it's just, firstly not thinking it is tht bad and hmrc won't push it after say the Vodafone case, and secondly when you are winning everything not caring how back in the day.

A mixture of naivety and arrogance perhaps?

Ah - it was in response to pacific auntmargaret saying the old firm couldnt be the only clubs at it.

The other reference was about points in the league.

OMG peanuts. DH is in far more trouble. Or so he says, he might just be trying to avoid giving me my birthday party on Sardinia. Bastard.

The 9 mil is since Cw took over in May 2011 then never paid tax. It's the figure that put them into administration but the other bills (49mil) are still outstanding. No way out, I think.

I've no wish to argue, I'm not a football fan.

But saying Rangers fans should have known it was coming is beside the point. The fans don't get to say how the business is run, but they are effected by the repercussions.

They could vote with their feet. If they say picketed a game, or a new strip, etc, if they disagreed with their clubs ethics, they would have considerable sway.

Rhonda, please... the old firm are not "at it". What have Celtic Fc done wrong in your view? And why is it whenever Rangers disgrace themselves, it's an old firm problem? Scotland and Andy Murray anyone?

Even the banks are in debt and living beyond their means. We need another way.

9 Million and they are still only second in their micky mouse league!

AFAIK EBTs are a perfectly legal tax avoidance scheme. They are registered with HMRC. The problem in Rangers case was with the implementaion of the loan scheme.

Just Red, yours might be a Mickey mouse league if Sky only gave you £1.2 mil for a whole season.

Auntmargaret My league? what league would that be then?

it's appalling, isn't it? i'm not a rangers fan and certainly no fan of sectarian shite, but i feel for the people who support them. (well, some of the people. )

Sorry, I assumed your team was in EPL, or Championsip. But if it's another league, I'll look at the figures

I think considering there are some Celtic fans on this thread there has been no nastiness and slagging, the only "off" comments seem to be from people slagging the SPL or fans devoted to their club

If this was a forum for men it would be a lot different

My experience of football was sitting like a mouse while my dad checked the Saturday results :)

I just saw the headlines yesterday and OMG!!!!!

I still can't believe it!

Can someone explain to me what the blazes auntmargaret is reading because it certainly ain't my posts...at least not with any level of comprehension or understanding!

trois the wall never came by my house so i would still manage to get into england if i wanted , you are a right little ray of racist sunshine aint ya , My dad is a huge rangers fan and we had a little chat the other day he was waffiling on about how it was devastating it must be a Mistake A MISTAKE the club was owned by a crook dad ,

two crook dads. this is a murray problem, really.

and absolutely EVERYONE who has so much as looked at a football forum or known anyone who knows anything about football has known this was coming for years.

the trouble was aitch while they were winning 9 in a row and the league last yr no one gave a bugger, now its came back to bite them on the arse

There was a very funny rumour put about by a Celtic fan that the spl were going to strip them of the titles going back to 97 and that Celtic were going for 14 in a row this year...

Not the point at all but very funny!

well the rangers fans were certainly happy enough to take the titles and not worry about it, sure. but all my family (celtic way back to brother w) were grumbling about it...
