P1sh!! Complete and utter p1sh!! Get a grip ya clown
Agree1
Disagree1
To be able to do that HMRC would need to apply for a court order and seek to put Rangers into administration or bankruptcy,neither of which has been applied for, and if it was a no mark such as the poster would be the last to receive such information. More nonsense from another internet tax and insolvency expert who knows SFA.

The 2.3million has been paid,so rfc can try obtain a uefa liscence ya clown,as for getting a uefa liscence granted too yous last year,shame on the sfa,

Haha had to laugh at the guy sayin people thinkin there experts....take a look at ur own post u dafty. am not sayin it is or isnt cos ave not gopt a scoobie but just because u havent heard about it doesnt make it untrue.

The money that was frozen belongs to HMRC. Hence it being frozen. When a certain amount of time passes HMRC can take it. And there is nothing the tax dodgers can do.

If agreed, the proposals would mean HMRC would have the right to freeze an amount equal to the outstanding debt within the bank account.
That sum would be paid over to HMRC after a specific period by the bank or building society if other attempts to collect the debt proved fruitless.

CELTICNEWS,
Celtic will make an offer for jordan rhodes in the next 24 hours! The club are keen due to the 2m release clause! AS......
Believable14
Unbelievable18
Hudderfeild manager has stated he wont let rhoads go in jan and he aint got a release clause look in to it
Agree1
Disagree1
What relaese clause, if that was the case why would west ham only enquire about him when the price is that low
Agree0
Disagree1
West Ham had a 3.5 million bid rejected.
Agree0
Disagree1
There is no clause his club stated he's not for sale at any price until the summer . Dont think they would say that if he had a clause
Agree1
Disagree1
West ham enquired but no bid was made, seen big sam saying that on telly last week. Dont think we'd get him but heard he is interested in coming to Celtic.

Hey Ed what do you think Celtic's chances of signing Baba Diawara are? {Ed007's Note - 50/50, we will or we won't.}
Believable6
Unbelievable9
Supposedly going to panathiaikos now
Agree0
Disagree1
If you buy football manager 12 and become the manager of celtic he has already signed and becomes a player on 2nd jan 12 very weird . {Ed007's Note - Remember it's only a game though. There are probably a few deals that were implemented in it that the makers thought had a good chance of happening going with reports at the time of writing.}
Agree0
Disagree1
Thats rubbish bud i play fm12 (far far to nuch to be fair) and i signed him there was no agreed transer in place and can i add he hit 25 goals in one season i know its a game but still

A wee scenario to put things in perspective.if you were a manager in the Prem,and your chairman came to you and said here's £10m go and sign a striker.would you look at the spl?
Believable6
Unbelievable6
Well 10mil doesn't buy u a decent stricken nowadays espeacially in the epl, so the answer could be a yes... BUT there is only hooper and smellyfish that u would spend money on! On their day possibly samaras and laugherty, all to bottom half teams tho!
Agree1
Disagree1
It all depends what people want for 10 mil.. Arsenal spent over 12 on the lad from Southampton where Chelsea spent 50 on Torres and Liverpool 35 on Carrol so is 10 really that much for either of the 2 mentioned based on these figures???
Having said all of the above I don't believe either is worth 10m but the one advantage Hooper has on his side is youth.
Thoughts ed007?
JGD {Ed007's Note - A lot of transfers confuse me with the prices. I just go with the idea that a player is worth what another will pay for them, then you can just scratch your head about it and move on. I do agree with you that Hooper's age would benefit any fee for him though.}
Agree0
Disagree0
10 mill Naismith,hooper ,jelavic,wanyama,Forrest,Ki,Izaguirre that's just a few if u look at a few of Scotland u21s a few of them would be worth that now oh sorry I forgot only young English players are worth that young Scottish players get sold cheap and that's why I can't wait for the fair play league to start celtic will be safe and prosper and then scottish young stars will be worth more
Agree2
Disagree1
Agreed.. Don't think either player worth 10 mil but the only 2 worth taking a chance on plus some spare change!! Lots of over inflated price tags flyin around, past and present but like ed said some players are worth what teams are willing to pay ie Jordan henderson (liverpool) in my opinion not great in not a great team at the moment!! So I would say ki , kayal could comand a decent fee, although different type of player but still better than Henderson and youth also on their side! ( ha ha got a bit sidetracked sorry)
Agree1
Disagree0
A resounding YES! Phil jones and jordan henderson both absolutely pish and yet go for crazy money. EPL has f***ed everything for everyone, you'd easily go spend 10m on hooper, Izzy or kayal, possibly 8m on Ki and Stokes and maybe 6m on wanayama because they all would have a massive sell on value. Even Joe Ledley would be s teal at 8m {Ed001's Note - as a Liverpool fan, I really hate to admit this, but Phil Jones is a top class young player.}
Agree0
Disagree0
Honestly dont see where u get these figures from and how u can say phil jones is crap I WILL NEVER KNOW HES A QUALITY PLAYER
Agree3
Disagree3
I can't believe there are folk on here claiming kayal and Ki would be better buys than Henderson and Jones. Some people really are deluded.
If you are a manager in the EPL and were given only 10m to spend..........you wouldn't spend 8m on Kayal, Hooper, KI or Ledley.
You'd get sacked!!!!
TTG
Agree0
Disagree4
If i was an EPL manager i wouldn't be looking to the SPL for a striker worth 10 million because they aren't proven at all in the EPL. Yes, they score lots of goals in Scotland but most decent strikers in the EPL would score the same amount of goals a Hooper and Jelavic are scoring. Look at recent strikers who scored lots of goals in the SPL and then moved to the EPL. There isn't too many of them that scores the same amoints of goals. Heres a few examples Scott McDonald, Kris Boyd, Connor Sammon, David Goodwilie.
Agree3
Disagree3
TTG?! It was a slight scenario so if u look further into it, almost everyone of epl teams will b given more than 10 mil so if it was 25-30 mil then ki, kayal, ledley, hooper jelavic Davis and macgregor would be worth a punt! Although I agree that if u did only have 10mil then as a manager u might not go for for these guys but not every post said they were worth 10mil there would b change to use! Signing any of these four or five players would prove better value for money than the boy Henderson who is one of the most overrated players, even Liverpool are starting to wonder where the potential was!?
Agree1
Disagree0
And how is steven fletcher doing in the wolves side ? not too bad i would say. why are ki, kayal etc not worth the money ? proven internationals. oh wait, they don't play in the insular epl, which, in my eyes is the 3rd best league in europe and that is me being generous

I hope we hang on to him for at least this season & next, we don't have anyone else like him in the team (as Murdo MacLeod pointed out this morning) ! Dread to think what would have happened if he hadn't been playing against Kilmarnock that day or Hibs for that matter in the League Cup - Mrs E

heard a rumour celtic may pay hudders 3.5m for rhodes and allow them 2 keep him til the summer,,,because lennon doesnt really nd a striker right now and he knows if rhodes keeps banging them in he will b worth double that amount by the end of the season

Can any1 tell me what's going on with bangura all the talk bout Rhodes comin bangura will never get a chance
Believable6
Unbelievable8
Rhodes won't be joining. There are clubs in better leagues interested, including most notably Everton, Newcastle and West Ham. All it'll do is push the price from a couple of million to 5 or 6M+ and thus outwith our budget.
Agree1
Disagree0
Theres nothin to say about bangura because hes not very good
Agree1
Disagree0
Winning trophies to enhance his career or playing in Europe could decide it for him, both of which he will not get at either of the clubs stated!
Agree2
Disagree0
Bangura not very good? what makes you think that? 10 15 20 mins of coming on as a sub? give the man a chance to prove himself, same with mccourt the game was crying out for a player like him to come on, not gettin splinters in his arse sitting on the bench, Lennon could have swapped hooper who wasnt winning anything for bangura at half time! in my opinion,
willybhoy
Agree0
Disagree3
Tell me when exactly bangura has had playing time to prove his worth ma man,give him a chance, has he even had a run of games to adjust to scottish fitba
Agree0
Disagree0
Totally agree with willybhoy on the bangura evaluation
Agree0
Disagree0
Is this the same bangura that celtc fans were raving aboot bang bang bangin in the goals he is rank
Agree0
Disagree0
If bangura was any good he, d be doing it at training to impress manager ,maybe best to pit him out on loan for 6 mnths to another spl team give him game time
Agree1
Disagree0
How do you know hes not doing it in training?, the front line we've played have been producing the goods of late, so if its not broke dont fix it! hell be on the bench and make late cameos, this wont let you see the best of the guy, hopefully hell start against peterhead and get a goal or two!
willybhoy
Agree3
Disagree0
Agree with willybhoy give bangura more gametime and let him adjust to scotish football hes always lively and chasing the ball down maybe when he settles down he might end up changing everybodys mind. i think hes promising
Agree0

jordan Rhodes dad has just been seen in glasgow maybe talks about his son moving
ruff idea of the deal is
celtic pay 3.5 up front with an extra 500k to 1 mill depends on goals and stuff
it will be a 4 year deal with a option of another year
25k a week starting off a week but if scores gets 1k goal somthing like that with huddersfield getting 25% of the next sale so all in all hudds looking at like 7 mil in total {Ed007's Note - If Jordan Rhodes father ran into my house right now, totally naked and begin hitting Moneypenny over the head with a stale French loaf, there is no way in the world I would recognise him! In the days of mobile phones etc all these sightings with no picture evidence don't hold much water at all.}
Believable12
Unbelievable21
How would u not know him he is a goal keeping coach at sheff wed and a ok former player with all your links thought u mite know him lol {Ed007's Note - I think he will have changed a lot from my Panini sticker collection days.}
Agree2
Disagree0
Hope it's true don't no much bout the guy but seams 2 score plenty goals.
Agree0
Disagree0
Lol rhodes is going to join for sure i am a sheff wed youth player and his dad was going to celtic park 2 nite after training {Ed007's Note - **rolls eyes* You do know I know you location from your IP number don't you?}
Agree0
Disagree1
You had me convinced at "goals and stuff."
*sigh*
Albowski56
Agree1
Disagree1
Celtic will not put that deal on the table, they would not pay a proven player this money these days never mind a hot prospect, epl teams can pay this money and it's not a problem if it does not work out! But it would hurt us if he failed!!!!
Agree1
Disagree0
Lennons already had an offer accepted 3.5
Agree0
Disagree2
Sounds to me like you've spent a bit too much time playing Football Manager.
Agree2
Disagree0
You cant get rhodes for 3.5 mil in football manger so whats the chances going to be in real life
Agree1
Disagree0
3.5 plus add ons 7 mil the deal is worth
Agree0
Disagree1
So let me get this right, you are claiming deals of 3.5m to 7m have been agreed for a player who has a 2m release clause? Hhhmmm {Ed007's Note - Huddersfield have said there is no release clause.}
Agree1
Disagree0
02 Jan 2012 17:13:24
Billy Sharp not going to happen and as a celtic fan i am glad not are type of player yea he bangs in goals but not a team player 99% of celtic players work for each other so it will be rhodes celtic will sign and no west ham was never a option due to lack of up front cash
on another note dont know how true but i heard barca were even looking at rhodes but cant see a huge team offer him a deal till he scores in europe
Believable8
Unbelievable11
Barca bid probs just media chatting or online BS but who knows i am sure rhodes will be a celtic player we had the option to buy last year but took hooper but rhodes wants to come and him hooper and stokes can rule the SPL and maybe even europa league
Agree0
Disagree0
Think celtic will get Rhodes makes most sense for his development, but not now, in the summer
Agree0
Disagree0
Lennon wants him now thats why 3.5 up front if it was like west hams offer we would be getting told no till the summer but lennon knows by that time he could be worth 5mil+ with english football the way it is if carrol is worth 35mil rhodes could be worth 80mil by the summer lol
Agree0
Disagree0
Billy sharp not a team player lol ha ha ha this is the same billy sharp who played for doncaster the day after his baby died to help his team mates .....cant get more of a team player than that
Agree0
Disagree0
That don't make him a team player that makes him stupid he should of been with his wife Celtic need lambert or Rhodes or if we get rid of Sammy the both of them {Ed007's Note - Sharp has no intentions of leaving Doncaster. He has had better offers and refused them, he is very settled there.}
Agree0
Disagree0
Going to Rangers
Agree0
Disagree1
He is not going to rangers them lot could not afford his boots lol never mind his wages and I hop he don't come to Celtic cause yea he probs would bang in spl goals but rangers , hearts teams like that he would struggle and in europe it would just be a joke

lol!! just how desperate are the media and the shame getting in trying to get shot of jellyfish?
just yesterday it was reported that Atletico Madrid were 'about to swoop'....less than 12 hours later the story is removed because madrid threatened to sue the paper for printing lies lol!!
then we have the whyte shyte telling ally and the hordes that jelly isn't going anywhere, but their's loads of interest in him, then we get this "Jelavics future will also be on the agenda after it emerged that the club has given an English agent a written mandate to move the Croat on during the transfer window" lol!!
so, there seems to be absolutely zero interest in him, and they're actively trying to punt him, so his phantom £10m price tage appears to be dwindling by the hour
couldn't make this farce of a club up
Believable23
Unbelievable10
The trouble with you lot you worry about the better team; GLASGOW RANGERS. LO
Agree0
Disagree0
Lol is that why we are top of the league and your no
Agree0
Disagree0
See, that's where you're wrong, we're doing anything but worry...we're positively pi55ing ourselves laughing at you lot. and i think we've proved we are by far, the better team;)
Agree0
Disagree0
Rangers said they didn't want to sell him, so dont pin media s...e on us. Youse just don't have any players good enough for the papers to get excited about. And the best team? Haha when was the last time youse won a title? Bottle will crash again this year at some point.
Agree0
Disagree1
Smellavic is no worry anyway, even if Rangers hold on to him. Face it, the best game he's had against Celtic was in a Rapid Vienna shirt. Scored a winner in a cup final that only went in because the ball took a freak turn into the net on the bobbly Hampden pitch.
Agree0
Disagree0
"Jelavic’s future will also be on the agenda after it emerged that the club has given an English agent a written mandate to move the Croat on during the transfer window"
that tells me the wool is being pulled over your eyes yet again.....tell you gullible lot one thing, and stab you's in the back as usual:D
and how come your history only starts from 3 years ago? because if i remember correctly, celtic won 3 in a row before that....so what is your point exactly? Celtic ARE BY FAR the better team this year
Agree0
Disagree0
He is off for 7mil and his old club get 40% of any transfer so rangers dont get this idea that rangers will be buying lafferty will be off so will davies and megegor rangers will bring a few loans in NOT dorrans he would not move there when other prem teams want him bolton for 1 lets put it this way would u leave a club in EPL on 30k a week and move to a club in debt that can offer 15k max ??
Agree0
Disagree0
There's not a player in either Celtic or Rangers that would get his place in an upper teir EPL team, and that's the truth, who's the last one that went and got his place? Petrov?
Agree0
Disagree1
Its funny how the same people are saying we worry about rangers too much are the same ones on here looking up our transfer rumours! Hmmmm maybe ours have more substance!
Agree0
Disagree0
Well Epl is a rich league yea but it's not the best Spanish league is stronger the sol is in a state yea but look at naymar plays in a crap league but all top clubs want him Scott brown , James Forrest , Barry bannan to name 3 Scottish players that could play at the top in England
