Getstiffed 8,863 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If Celtic were going through another paedophilia scandal, it would be a relevant point. But it's not.Excuse my ignorance, are we under investigation for tax fraud? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,795 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Excuse my ignorance, are we under investigation for tax fraud?No but our finances are being scrutinised by everyone from supporters to journalists. Wallace responded to it well. I don't see what the problem is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what the problem is.Its the fact that English thinks its a pertinent question.It wasn't Rangers who diddled the tax man, it was Whyte.Even HMRC have conceded this point.

But after what happened the last time, any confirmation the club is paying bills on time is fine by me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I thought Wallace handled that interview very well indeed. Direct when he needed to be and assertive when he needed to be and didn't dodge anything (acknowledging he is bound by stock exchange rules and journalists know that full well). It feels like the review will produce some tough messages. Quite possibly job losses which, if that happens, is bound to be controversial and bound to lead to more finger pointing at historical decisions. The other emphasis I think is there in Wallace's statements is the emphasis on building a sustainable financial future 'standing on own feet' as a business before looking for wider investment. That priority might produce very real tensions on the football ambitions as a squad is shrunk, and may be that top players move on now or in summer and maybe not replaced at that same quality which could produce a much bigger challenge for Ally to deliver successive promotions. The balance between implementing cuts and cutting the financial cloth to fit the income contrasted with on-field ambitions for promotion could make for a difficult few seasons ahead.

The whole tax thing has a connotation around it and that prick knows it.And just so you're aware, child abuse is not something I like to be flippant about.

In agreeing to be interviewed by English and dealing with him in the manner he did, he has taken away any attempt English may make to continue to write his snide and faux-offended articles and be taken seriously by our support.I would love to see Britney try to interview Wallace next.Wallace has laid down his marker that he requires respect and that Rangers will now be taken seriously. He may even have put the brakes on the mhedias' attacks on Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 it's official Rangers setup was for short term gain and fuck all to do with the clubs futureNot short term gain, short term planning There's a difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac_88 310 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 If Wallace can sort all our off-field problems and hopefully he does not impact too much on the playing side.He will no doubt go down as a Legend in the eye's of Rangers Fans. (in my view)Still not sure why he went to the Scotsman & the Daily Record a week or two ago.These are the kind of things our own club channels should be doing...(But saying that Rangers.TV could be doing a lot more to try and attract more subs to the channel. - (But we currently do not have a Head of Communications/Media which could be a reason!)But i guess he was trying to get to these people before they wrote their own opinions on things..We finally know why Nash was brought into the Club for the short-term...
