We must now push on from a position of
strength.
Get rid of some reserves who are not playing and buy another Centre Half and a Centre Forward if the Pole is not good enough.
5 or 6 leaving would generate the money to buy
and pay their wages. {Ed007's Note - The transfer window is closed, we will need to wait until the summer, and we already have a CB arriving then.}

We dont know how good brozek is, he isn't match fit so we will see how it goes till the end of the season. Central defender arrives in the summer on pre contract but we need to get rid of a few players. Maybe a big striker in the summer will be all we need. The young guys are getting better and more experience.

If the Pole is not good enough?
Give him a chance for gods sake.

Programme on STV (Scotland Tonight) just now about Rangers.Shattered crest and everything.pmsl.

Jungle Bhoy

Just finished,gonna watch again on plus 1 at 11:30pm.

Jungle Bhoy.

Seen it and it looked lovely

and the owe the last two clubs they played £100k each

its liquidate then relegate

Lubo25

I've not seen the programme but at last someone shows a broken crest. Might be a little thing but that has been bugging me. We can lose a couple o pre season games and it's broken crests on the back pages. They are in admin before it happens. Scottish media think they are being trailblazers here but we've been predicting this for months and this is the first sign of a broken crest.absolute joke. Rant over. Just been to see noel Gallagher so all good.

Hail hail

Did Noel sing
the good rebel for lenny
and
dream on for that mob lol

Lubo25

Got to say the Scottish Scum done a shattered crest on their pages today but still holding out for the main offenders The Daily R,,,,d to show one.......DH

News just in swiss toni has just won the rights to stage national ploughing championships at ibrokes in april happy days garlar07

I watched it , host J McKay was joined by G Sp**rs (Sports Journalist , Glasgow Herald) , N Patey (Financial Expert) , A McPherson (Retired football commentator) and last but by no means least , A Dick (Rangers season ticket holder) apart from Mr Patey the rest of them were holding back the tears .

2 dicks on the show last night.lol

Jungle Bhoy.

Ed surely if cousin is not registered with spl then it can not be completed, the line has to be drawn in the sand, surely..thoughts ? {Ed007's Note - All I know is a meeting will be held, he signed in time but it seems he wasn't registered. If true the deal will likely be void.}

Just keeps getting better.......happy days, thanks ed! {Ed007's Note - You're welcome.}

I can't see the administrators allowing a new signing (more financial outlay) with no resale value due to his deal finishing at the end of the season.

decent link from the bbc website. q&a with info about what it all means :)

Word coming out now is that season tickets are null and void. Supporters to pay at gate. The same as when virgin went into administration and any vouchers tht were issued could no longer be used. tough times to be a bear.

Just heard it

Shocking if true, although I have my doubts. I'm sure I read somewhere that the tickets are still valid but hey depends on what the administrator says.

As much as it's banter to speculate, and have a sly giggle about their misfortunes and likelihood decline on the park, the fans have a right to see what they paid for. They're not guaranteed "a show", but at the very least they should be guaranteed the fixtures.

Unless there's a refund; or say a deal where fans were moved where matches didn't sell out (in order to close stands etc. and save money), Rangers' directors should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

hi ed now that the league is done n dusted what do u think the chances are of celtic cashing in on hooper to a russian team to clear the rest of the clubs debt HH garrybhoy {Ed007's Note - No.}

Totally disagree wi ure coment
we want to keep our best players
and build on it am sure wotever money we can get can clear some dept its not
an emergancy unlike the rankers and buy players at the same time,stef1967

Garry are you a daw-bear in disguise why would we want to we don`t need to so why would you say something so stupid

Get a grip o yersel man! We must keep our top guys and push forward, not backwards!

I am no financial whizz-kid but surely running at a small loss is not a bad idea. You dont pay tax on turnover only profit. No profit= no tax. Why would CFC be eager to pay off all debt and then have to pay tax on any profits. Better to have our assets on the field where we can profit as a club and as supporters keen on success. Sopot Celt.

The above post makes a lot of sense is that true ed? {Ed007's Note - Yes it is true.}

14 Feb 2012 19:24:44
ed is it possible that white has hidden away all the season ticket money and jellyfish fee and whatever else he can sell and hid the money in one of his other company s to use when rangers come out of admin and if so is that not illegal , i mean its not as if he has spent any of the money he got from ticket master or everton so is the money not retrievable , fab1 {Ed007's Note - No.That could result in criminal prosecution. Where the money has went is a question only Whyte can answer, running costs for the club??}

14 Feb 2012 19:10:20
daniel cousin deal cancelled lmfao

U should get ur facts right. he signed by fax. shotts rfc watp {Ed007's Note - Yes but he hasn't been registered with the SPL yet, They will discuss the matter with the administrators at some point this weekend.}

14 Feb 2012 18:45:53
Ed
Mr Whyte was playing poker with HMRC today and tried to make a fool of them today.he is sitting with ace high and they have three 7's. they will finish him into liquidation within the next month as they will never take a pence in the pound deal of him.he knows that HMRC have won the case and he will walk away with a tidy profit and not give a dam about liquidation.

Lubo25

The man is a tim in disguise, who would have thought anyone could screw up rangers as much.

14 Feb 2012 17:55:31
just had a look at the league table there and cant get the smile of my face . theres 1 thing i love about rankers and thats craig whyte lol, mon the celtic glasgows green and white

wee darren

14 Feb 2012 17:19:16
Ed, whats the chance rangers will be stripped of any trophies they have one during the time the were spending money they didnt have. From what I understand celtic have kept quiet over this so far but will eventually make a formal complaint about this {Ed007's Note - I doubt they will be stripped of any trophies as such. Maybe a note in the record books etc.}

14 Feb 2012 16:11:12
Now that we are 14 points ahead we need to drive on and make sure we remain atleast 14 ahead by the end of the season, no slacking.
we dont want the dark side casting up issues about points deductions come the end of the season.
We caught them up fair and square before administration lets drive on and increase the gap.

Let's go for an unprecedented lead in the title.

What's the biggest points gap in the history of Scottish football?

Your bang on mate

I hope we win it by 9 points to really p1ss them off

I stuck money on the hoops 2 win all remaining spl games at 80 to 1 so stick 2 it hoops win every game n make another record in a winning streak along with doin the treble n as the above poster said amass a recor tally of points IS1888

Mon the hoops keep on winnin
i dont want us to win the league
due to the 10 points they got
deducted i want us to win it clear
even if they werent deducted,stef1967

Think it would be brilliant if Celts won by just one point. Now that would get them going.

I want Motherwell to overtake them,let's leave them totally down and out.

Jungle Bhoy.

We've got a treble to win so can't afford to slacken off. Need to keep the momentum going!

14 Feb 2012 15:47:12
It has now emerged that Rangers' game against Kilmarnock on Saturday may not go ahead unless police can be paid.

In a statement, Strathclyde Police said it had a duty to make sure public resources were used appropriately.

14 Feb 2012 14:54:47
thats them in administration now, jelly and ice cream for all :-)

How bad is our league when a team can lose ten points and stay in the same league position lol. anyway im away to smash a pinata to pieces. bon voyage

We will be back bigger and stronger and remember we are the people

Bigger and stronger yer arse. You won't be back. There may be a team that call themselves Rangers in some form but they sure as hell won't your club.

Nae luck bawjaws!

Let me rephrase " we will be bigger remember we are the people" I must admit I'm prone to eating when I'm depressed as well.

Do you not mean past tense? You WERE the peepul?

"We will be back bigger and stronger and remember we are the people"

Is this the "people" who wouldnt even take the trip to Ibrox for the cup game against dundee utd? the "people" who wont put their money into the club they "support" (clearly from their armchairs) when it needs it the most? The "people" who only give a toss about the glory days and 1st sign of hardship decide they have better things to spend their money on? My erse. Have a word with yourself. ! I DONT want to see them collapse as quite frankly enjoy the old firm games but "remember we are the people" try telling that to your saviour, the man with the warchest Mr Whyte. Sure he will say well where have the "people" been for the last few months when the revenue from games was needed the most?

Rangers will be in administration by the end of today.

At a court hearing in Edinburgh, the club has been given until 3.30pm to appoint an administrator - otherwise one will be appointed by the court.

Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs ( HMRC) went to the Court of Session in Edinburgh in a bid to stop Rangers appointing their own administrator, as the club had announced it would.

The Judge Lord Menzies said he would give Rangers until 3.30pm to make the appointment, otherwise he would rule on the application by HMRC.

The club had already lined up the firm Duff & Phelps.

Lawyers for Rangers told the court they were confident they would meet the deadline.

Fighting about WHO puts the club into administration first......where's the DIGNITY ?? Oh and by the way CHAMPIONEES !

Should appoint Duff and Duffer oh wait......

14 Feb 2012 14:25:23
Hearts claiming they have paid their outstanding tax bill. Interesting what will happen with wages due on 16 Feb.

14 Feb 2012 14:08:21
ed if HMRC put rangers in admin strip them off assests but they cant pay all there debt including tht of tiketus craug whytes 18 mill and all the other dbts does that mean liquidation?

gunner&atim {Ed007's Note - Quite possibly. Nothing is very clear yet, but as soon as I heard HMRC were applying for administration I thought the findings of the 'big' tax case had been revealed.}

Reports that in addition to the Big and Wee tax cases Rangers have not paid any PAYE, NI or VAT since Whyte took over. {Ed007's Note - That is true.}

Is the famous marble still there? or has whyte sold that too

14 Feb 2012 13:50:03
HMRC and Rangers are both currently at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

Rangers are trying to appoint an administrator today, and that HMRC are trying to block this and HMRC want a judge to appoint an independent administrator.

HMRC have asked Rangers to give an assurance that they will not appoint an administrator until the judge decides, but Rangers have said that they will not give this assurance and furthermore, intend to appoint an administrator as soon as possible today.

Outside if the Big Tax case it is emerging that Rangers have not paid PAYE, NI and VAT to HMRC since Craig Whyte took over, amounting to several million pounds.

One way or another, Rangers will be in administration before the end of today and are making one hell of an enemy in HMRC.

14 Feb 2012 13:33:14
Rangers want to go into administration today if they can appoint their own administrator, you couldn't make it up

Yep u couldnt make it up either
ssn breakkin news byebye rankers lol.stef1967

HMRC to ask court to put Rangers into administrationHM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is set to ask the Court of Session to put Rangers Football Club into administration.

The legal move counters the club's bid on Monday to file for protection against its creditors.

The papers served on behalf of Rangers directors would give the club 10 days to resolve its differences with HMRC.

However, the response from HMRC suggests it is seeking to take charge of events. The court hearing is set to take place on Tuesday morning.

By tuesday do you mean today ?

hi there ed could you tell me can the shame still buy and sell players under admin or is it liquidation?JUST CAN`T GET ENOUGH,HAIL HAIL {Ed007's Note - Players can be sold but not signed during the period of administration, part of the conditions of administration is a transfer embargo.}}

Let's call a halt to this now & concentrate on what we are doing. Keep updating on new signings and progress of injured players etc; {Ed007's Note - We can only edit what is sent in.}

Thanks ed for clearing that up keep up the brilliant advice mate you do a great job for us on here,I JUST CAN`T GET ENOUGH,HAIL HAIL {Ed007's Note - Thanks buddy, HH.}
