But during the Craig Whyte trial last year, directors at Rangers and the Murray Group told the court they had agreed to pay the taxman the cash and the Wee Tax Case money was already overdue in November 2010 – before the UEFA licence was applied for.

In the RFC Interim accounts which were signed by Alastair Johnston and dated 1st April 2011 it is noted in those accounts thus:

Note:
1. The exceptional item reflects a provision for a potential tax liability in relation to a Discounted Option Scheme associated with player contributions between 1999 and 2003. A provision for interest of £0.9m has also been included within the interest charge.

This clearly states "potential liability" which is certainly not an agreement to pay anything.   Once Whyte took control in May 2011 he was not long in contesting the HMRC claim once again.   There will no doubt be a paper trail which backs up the fact that there was no agreement that we owed HMRC a specific amount when we obtained our UEFA licence.

I don’t know a lot about these things but that makes it quite open and shut it you ask me, yet the SFA fail to see that? Some seriously not right there

It is unbelievable that the msm just ignores these facts when all they seem to print are negative stories anyways to try and sell papers with shock headlines. 

In fairness Rangers are the only show in town so they cant ignore us.

The best supported most successful club in Scotland also followed by fans of the second team in Glasgow...... Its a captive audience.

There may be something else coming down the line and the taig system want us to die a similar death as them.

We can but hope but i am afraid we may be waiting for some considerable time unless, a brave person takes the story up.

Rangers have already forced the 2 individuals behind this charge to stand down.

It was part of the reason for celtic’s allocation being cut. 

It’s also linked to the ongoing battle with the SPFL over McLennan & his conflict of interest. 

 

It's not enough tbh .We need people in front of cameras making this higher profile,  while we are in position of strength on the subject  .Go on the attack doesn't mean getting a result and telling them kindly  to move on for the benefit of Scottish football.

If you are not aware by now .These haters will be back with something else using their media friends .It's just around the corner

The SFA ceased to exist as an independent body years ago when it became a subsidiary of Paedo FC.

Liewell and Desmond will determine, as they did when they used their power to get us demoted to the Third division, if going to CAS is in the best interest of Paedo FC.

And, if it is, they will provide the SFA with a backhander, in the name of 'sporting integrity'' of course, to finance the case.

The rebel was scandalous the other day . And fuckwits still believe this shower of mutant beggar loving scum do not have an agenda.:hmmm:

Even BBC got in on the act with their bit about one fans behaviour abroad

Seems whatever we do will always make a hysterical negative headline. Yet the beggars have a pedo ring hanging over them and no one goes there

When we ever do get into a position of strength for taking league titles . Watch all these worms come out of their little hole in the ground

quite right there's no point in statements that get little coverage .

what really is needed is for somebody from one or more of the other top league clubs to come out and criticise the constant harranging of our club .

On to something more current why haven't the SFA opened an investigation into what show racism the red card wanted .

we all know .the tarriers have the SFA and SPFL in their pockets .this isn't paranoia it's now 100pc fact .

and once again whays needed is other clubs to highlight this .otherwise we are pissing against the wind

The ball will now be in the SPFL's court and I doubt they would pursue any further action.   

Probably due to the cost of such action. That's why I'm awaiting the announcement of a crowd funder by some mhanky wee obsessive whose eight weans will have to go without food and clothes to pay for his contributions

This is why we need to build relationships with other clubs. Obviously there will be some we can't or don't want to build relationships with, but we can't expect to challenge anything on our own. 

That's going to mean bridge building with certain clubs who kicked us when we were down.

1 or 2 choice ones 

Hystorically some of them have been a little less active in harming us

This is a very important moment in Rangers vs Enemies. The response from the SFA to this will send an unequivocal signal as to their intentions regarding us and the influences within. If they agree to go to the CAS, then it will be publicly clear where their loyalties lie, and that they favour harming us against advancing Scottish football. If this were to happen I would expect the board to attempt to drum up support for a vote of no confidence in the governing body. If they decide not to proceed then, while it wont be a total victory for us, the negative influences within the SFA will be significantly weakened in their attempts to harm us at every turn.

I think the financial implications will end the SFA attempt to take this to CAS.

It's 6 figure legal fees if they do decide to take this further. According to reports the best the SFA can do if they were to win a case via CAS is hit us with a £5000 fine.

This is where we see how vindictive the SFA are.
