Rangers new owners 'appreciate risk of insolvency'

[God is an Englishman]

there are 4 in that pic i posted, but no doubt you have some rule no one even knows and which is wrong that refers to them as st georges cross' or something douchie like that

no games in this one, but I cannot see one in there. There's some that might possibly be but could also be part of the Union Flag. Far from conclusive.

Meanwhile,

[DOC]

yep, pictures and flags of our history, nothing wrong here

Really? Where are the English flags again?

Of course it's politically motivated it's about immigration. It's not about troops and innocent people dying though. If that was the case, then you'd be right I'd be a hypocrit.

[DOC]

um it was a famine, people did die

i can see at least 3 english flags in the picture i posted

anything else

3 is not "en masse" and it was 4 earlier as well (by tomorrow there will be 2) and also it is not conclusive they are English flags, it could very easily be a part of a union flag. If it happens so often, then I'm sure you could provide a more conclusive picture. Maybe similar to mine of irish flags at celtic park

Is the song sectarian? NO! NEXT!!!

[DOC]

it is politically motivated and meant to be detrimental to the irish

ok 4 then, couldn't actually remember what i posted and could not be arsed looking, and they are clearly there

as i said, celtic are proud of their heritage, maybe if millwall were they wouldn't be such an average club

so, now it's back to 4 (wonder what the next figure will be). If it was so obvious why didn't you just look and tell me. You cannot tell me with certainty that there is even a single English flag there.

I never said it wasn't politically motivated - immigration is a political subject. It's clearly not sectarian though. Similar as you have said to me before, if you don't like it feel free to leave.

Now if I'd sung fuck the pope and the ira you would have a point, but I didn't and you don't.

Anyway,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,back to the subject,


Donald McIntyre has resigned as Rangers' finance director - five months after being suspended by the Scottish champions.

He remains an employee but is taking advice over a potential claim against Rangers.

McIntyre was suspended by the club following the successful takeover by Craig Whyte and has had no input into their affairs since.

He resigned over his exclusion from matters of corporate governance.

McIntyre, who had also been company secretary and had been finance director since 2006, held senior financial positions within Stakis plc, Hilton Group plc, Hewden Stuart plc and was group financial controller at Macdonald Hotels Limited before joining Rangers.

However, the chartered accountant was suspended by the football club in May along with chief executive Martin Bain.

Chairman Alastair Johnston and director Paul Murray had also left the club after venture capitalist Whyte took control of from Sir David Murray.

Bain resigned his own post in June and announced his intention to sue the club for unfair dismissal.

Whyte recently responded to leaked court documents claiming that Rangers could owe Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs up to £49m.

Questioned about claims that the club could become insolvent as a result of the tax bill, he admitted that it could have serious consequences for the club but insisted he was confident of winning the case.

Donald McIntyre bids to freeze £300,000 of Rangers cash.

McIntyre has been in dispute with new owner Craig Whyte Former Rangers director Donald McIntyre has launched a legal bid to have £300,000 of the club's assets frozen pending a breach of contract case.

Lawyers acting for the former finance director made the application at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

It was heard by Lord Hodge, who last month ring-fenced £480,000 over a case by former chief executive Martin Bain.

During that hearing, the judge said Rangers were at "risk of insolvency" over tax claims against the club.

Mr McIntyre resigned as Rangers' finance director earlier this week - five months after being suspended, along with Mr Bain, by the Scottish champions.

Tax claims
He took the decision to resign over his exclusion from matters of corporate governance.

Mr Bain launched a legal action against Rangers last month for breach of contract.

The club is contesting the action and has lodged a counter claim against him for damages alleging breach of fiduciary duty, which he denies.

During Mr Bain's move to freeze assets at Rangers, ahead of his case being heard, Lord Hodge was told that the club was facing two tax claims.

One was for £2.8m, while the other was for £49m - comprising £35m of tax and a further £14m in interest and penalties, which is under appeal.

In granting Mr Bain an arrestment for £480,000, Lord Hodge said: "I am satisfied that there is a real and substantial risk of insolvency if the tax appeal were to be decided against Rangers."

Mr McIntyre is bidding to secure an arrestment in his case for £300,000 - the same sum he is seeking from Rangers.

The Ibrox club was not represented at the hearing and the motion, which was heard with the press excluded from proceedings, was continued until next week.


That's 2 former employees taking them for un-fair dismissal now.

You will never know,,,,,,,,,,,,,,we are still the 1st British club to win the "Holy Grail"

I went to Seville in Spain to watch the Uefa Cup Final in 2003 and unfortunately we lost 3-2 to Porto who went on the following year to win the Champions League Final, ,but what a trip and the atmosphere was brilliant.

You ?

Why would I bother to go and watch Celtic? Having said that, I think they toured here in the 70's with Arsenal and Red Star Belgrade to play a four way series including the Australian national team at Hindmarsh, but from memory when Celtic came on the park for the curtain-raiser, my friends and I snuck out to the pub whilst we waited for the main game (I was a teenager then ). May have caught the last 5 minutes of their game but I survived it.

[Ernie Cooksey]

I dare anybody to go to any part of Scotland, find a Rangers fan, and tell them it's an English club, England's club in Scotland or the Scottish club for English or anything along those lines.
Wear good running shoes if you do.

Rangers directors John Greig and John McClelland step down

Rangers' non-executive directors John Greig and John McClelland have resigned from their posts at Ibrox.

The duo say that they have been isolated following Craig Whyte's takeover of the Ibrox club in May.

"These resignations have been communicated by letter to the chairman, Craig Whyte," read a statement.

"Both were of the opinion that since the change of ownership they have been excluded from participating in corporate governance at the club."

Greig captained Rangers during his playing days in the 1960s and 1970s, leading them to victory in the final of the European Cup Winners Cup in 1972.

The 69-year-old, who won 44 caps for Scotland, also managed Rangers between 1978 and 1983.

McClelland was chairman of the club between 2002 and 2004.

The resignations come one week after Rangers finance director Donald McIntyre officially stepped down from the board.

McIntyre and former chief executive Martin Bain were both suspended by the Scottish champions in May, shortly after Whyte completed his takeover.

McClelland and Greig survived that initial boardroom overhaul but their decisions to leave add to a growing list of off-field problems for Rangers.

The Scottish champions, who lead Motherwell by seven points at the top of the Scottish Premier League, are currently involved in two separate tax disputes with HM Revenue and Customs, while Bain is also suing the club for £1.3m in an unfair dismissal claim.

Last month, Bain had £480,000 of the club's assets frozen after a judge agreed there was "real and substantial risk of insolvency".

And McIntyre has since launched a legal bid to ring-fence £300,000 of the club's money pending a breach of contract case.


Gees,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,another 2 step down,

the initial issue is I was saying about flying another country's flag "en masse". N Ireland is still another country, however it's not en masse.
