On a local scale i do support Chester as far as non league football is concerned, i go to games, give them my hard earned cash even before they went bust and were in League 2 so tell me what do you do besides sitting at home watching United on a dodgy stream and wanking over Giggsy?

[bbfan1991]

Baggies are doing well though.

Been to Bridge,Highbury,Cottage,Loftus Road,Anfield,Wigan,Amsterdam,Wastelands & Wembley to support them. Good enough,chump? If it was easier to get tickets, I would go more, but I ain't fortunate enough.


Dunno how you chat about Streams, when that's the only way you can watch Rangers most of the time.

[bbfan1991]

Nathan I apologise I went through a stage of calling Aston Villa- Aston Vanilla when I first got into this Footie lark.

I am sure you went through a ManYoo or Manure stage as the ABU's like to call United ha ha.

Don't believe me. don't really care . Nar, I used to idolise Beckham as a kid pretty much immediately tbh and from there I started to idolise the rest of the team.

You are living in England and supporting a Scottish team, a team which when you started supporting them would of had a 50/50 chance of winning their league..even if it is a joke league. The glory hunter stuff is weak banter from you.

I am living in Britain and supporting a British team who are proud to be British, pity the same can't be said for certain other teams in Scotland yeah we use to win the league a lot but we weren't ever European Giants like United and i support them just as much now as i did when they were in the SPL, nothing has changed. Rangers Then, Rangers Now, Rangers Forever.

The former Rangers Football Club has won an appeal against a tax bill over its use of Employee Benefit Trusts.

The club, which is now in liquidation, used the scheme from 2001 to 2010 to make £47.65m in payments to players and staff in the form of tax-free loans.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) had challenged the payments, arguing that they were illegal.

Rangers disputed the bill and a First Tier Tax Tribunal (FTT) has ruled the payments were loans that can be repaid.

The decision was welcomed by Murray International Holdings, who were majority shareholders of the old club until Craig Whyte's takeover in May 2011.

tribunal verdict "undermines" a Scottish Premier League investigation into alleged undisclosed payments to former Ibrox players.
The tribunal ruled that the old Rangers company's use of Employee Benefit Trusts was not illegal.
But the SPL's own commission could yet say it was against its own rules.
"The judgment serves to further undermine the validity of the SPL commission," said Green.


"As we have said all along, the SPL decision to press ahead with a commission was ill-timed and fundamentally misconceived."
"Oldco" Rangers, which is now in liquidation, used its EBT scheme from 2001 to 2010 to make £47.65m in payments to players and staff in the form of tax-free loans.
HM Revenue and Customs had challenged the payments, arguing that they were illegal, but two of the three judges on a First Tier Tax Tribunal largely accepted that the payments were loans rather than wages.
The SPL's own three-man panel, chaired by Lord Nimmo Smith, was due to begin hearing evidence last week, but the case was postponed because of ill-health with no new date set.
One of the possible sanctions of the SPL's investigation, should Rangers be found guilty, is the stripping of titles, but the "Big Tax Case" has no financial consequences for the club now playing in Division Three.
Green, whose consortium purchased the business and assets of Rangers after they were consigned to liquidation in the summer, said: "I am sure that all Rangers fans will welcome that a judgment has been reached on this case at last.

"That said, the judgment will not affect the operations of the club nor the proposed flotation of the business as a public company.
"This case is historic and was a matter for The Rangers Football Club plc, which is in liquidation.
"The Rangers Football Club Ltd is a corporate entity formed following the acquisition in June this year, by a consortium led by me, of the business and assets of Rangers, including the club and its honours.
"As HMRC stated in June, when they decided to vote against the proposed oldco CVA, no tax liabilities relating to 'oldco' would transfer across to the new company. HMRC have recently reaffirmed this position to the club's tax advisers, Deloitte.
"The Rangers Football Club Ltd is a company free of external debt."
Former chairman Alastair Johnston agreed with Green's assertion that Rangers should have no case to answer in relation to the SPL probe in light of the tribunal's verdict.
"It totally removes any obligation that the club would have had to submit these contracts to the SFA or the SPL because they would not have been considered contracts for participation at football," he said





Just goes to show how corrupt the SPL is nowadays, Guilty in their eyes but not guilty in the court of law, it's a still a joke that we are banned from signing any players til January 2014 we need to fight that as well and HMRC should be sued


Giovanni di Stefano @DEVILSADVOKAT: "The next step is for a shareholder to apply to court to reverse/revoke administration/liquidation...I wonder which shareholder will do that?" Is that an indication of intent from the former Dundee director who bought a share in Rangers as they headed for liquidation?
