OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The total potential debt could reach £135m.However, £27m approx, is from Ticketus, who may do a deal with TBK, who are still in the running. Furthermore, they've stated that they may make the same deal available to other bidders.£72+m is the maximum liability to HMRC in relation to the Big Tax Case, if we are found to have mis-administered EBTs and if we are held for the full amount, full interest and full penalties. Many experts have said that this is not likely, and any liability, if there even is one, is likely to be of a much lower figure.So, potentially, the figure could be roughly £100m less, which makes a CVA much more possible.That said, financial experts such as David Bick and David Hillier have stated that as things stand, a CVA exit from administration is much more likely than liquidation, even with full liabilities.Nonetheless, that's simply too rational, factual and positive for certain outlets.Further to these points, sergio highlights:How dare you tell the truth One thing you forgot fella, 9 Million Compensation claim against CB. This will be lodged on the 16th of April, that plus the 2.7 Million that HMRC have relating to the WTC. (this has not been released to anyone and its will be used to pay part of the wee bill once the final figure is known)So that's almost another £12m that can be deducted, taking the total down to a potential minimum of something almost as low as £20m. Thanks for this sergio.That could even be cleared at a rate of 100p in the pound without much difficulty. Some CVAs have seen creditors returned single figures in terms of pence in the pound on their money. So even if we went for a low double figures rate of 10p, which is not totally unrealistic from my understanding, we could end up paying as little as £2.5m to creditors. Whilst this is far more optimistic outlook than the have suggested, it's not any more unrealistic than their claims. However, even a half-way house between both extremes could see the debt being less than half the headline figure of £134m and paid at a rate between 25p to 50p in the pound. Those figures are likely to be far more realistic and easily achievable.It's also worth considering the Rangers fans who are Ibrox debenture holders whose figure is £7.7m. They are unlikely to be wanting paid, but will get their share, unless there is a deal done with the Administrators to remove, or delay their return. The latter may not be legally within the remit of an Administrator who is charged with reducing debt, not adding to it.Interestingly, most of the media have failed to report that we have over £126m in assets with a turnover that varies between approximately £35m and £55m. Hardly all doom and gloom at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 thats what i dont get, we dont owe rapid any money until summer yet they are deemed as a creditorI believe the role of Administrator is to try to find some resolution for all creditors, hence the inclusion of Ibrox debenture holders, which were another £7m of debt that can be considered separate to the issues, but probably won't be. These people will be fans who weren't expecting or wanting to be paid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is a bit misleading.but the point is that we dont owe rapid any money until the summer, why would they even bother thinking about a CVA when we are apparently going to be out of Admin by season endi know we owe rapid money per the jelavic signing, but in effect we dont "owe" them money until the date of the next payment, thats like saying every SPL team next season are creditors because we will owe them ticket money that we will sell on to our fans Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin 18 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I was waiting on a bear phoning to to clyde tonight to point this fact out, Ticketus and HRMC should not be lumped into the total. I emailed SSB but no one responded to my point, and as I am in Canada I didn't phone, but needless to say some callers were slevering every time 134 was mentioned and to my shock some even said they were bears and before anyone asks, it's the only radio station I get on the net Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 I also think the choice of wording in the paragraph below, from BBC Scotland, is both noteworthy and revealing but also unsurprising:And taxpayer-funded bodies also owed money include: Strathclyde Police (£51,882), Scottish Ambulance Service (£8,438), Culture and Sport Glasgow (£10,338), Glasgow City Council (£7,000), Argyll and Bute Council (£406), and Edinburgh City Council (£90).

gogzy 31,195 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The fact that the rapid and hearts money are in that list, other debts too probably is that we dont owe those payments NOW.Thats like saying someone owes the bank 70k but forgetting to mention its a mottgage and they dont owe it all right away.

What you have written here needs to be at the forefront of our minds. The problem is bad, it might turn out to be awful, but there could be a solution if given time. The Scottish media need a narrative that betrays the Rangers; but this situation could be redeemable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks mate.The media always go for a sensational headline. When you look at the details, there are many subtleties to the story.I always think it's worth sharing with fellow supporters when there's another scare story that isn't quite the full story. That's one of the best things about this board. Our posters take the information and digest it. Then they get to the truth of it.Always look for the facts behind a story if there are indeed any. This time there are and it's far from gloomy. Even the most negative expert I've heard said that it was still possible for HMRC to agree to as little as 12p in the pound for full £134m liability and that was before Ticketus are removed. Their money may not be paid which increases HMRC's take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
