Kowalski Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Is he Charlie's brother You're right, he is! A football player is due to appear in court charged in connection with a sectarian breach of the peace. Rangers goalkeeper Grant Adam, 20, the brother of the team's former midfielder Charlie Adam, is alleged to have committed the offence in the early hours of this morning in the Merchant City area of Glasgow. Grant Adam has been a member of the Old Firm club since leaving school and is now the third-choice keeper for the team. He is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday. A spokeswoman for Strathclyde Police said: "We can confirm a 20-year-old male has been charged in connection with an alleged sectarian breach of the peace, in relation to an incident in Ingram Street on Sunday November 6." Charlie Adam, 25, is now a Liverpool midfielder and has played for the Scotland international team. Quote

glasgow sheep Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Rangers FC tax tribunal set to run to January A tribunal dealing with an appeal by Rangers FC against a disputed tax bill and penalties totalling about £49m is set to continue into January. The First Tier Tribunal in Edinburgh was expected to conclude on Wednesday. It has now been listed to take place on 16, 17 and 18 January 2012. The disputed bill and penalties relates to Rangers' use of Employee Benefit Trusts to pay employees. The club faces the prospect of administration if it loses this case. Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) claims that £35m is owed by Rangers in unpaid tax with a further £14m due in interest and penalties. HMRC has also had £2.8m of Rangers assets ring-fenced over a separate tax bill which the club is understood to be disputing. Former board members Donald McIntyre and Martin Bain have also taken Rangers to court to freeze a total of £780,000 of assets pending the outcome of their damages claims. Quote

Presumably the uncertainty will prevent them from making any significant signings until all this is sorted (not that this will effect us much, or indeed anything due to how utterly dung septic are) Quote

Probably because all their available cash has been swallowed up by asset freezing of 3 mill. Hopefully true. Quote

I read about some form of loan they took out recently - it was the business equivalent of wonga.com I think? Fucked if I can mind the name of the company now, I think it began with a C? And I thought there was serious scepticism over whether this 9m bid for Jelavic actually happened? Quote

mizer Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Posted November 23, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-15820882 Get in the queue . . . . . The parent company of Rangers - the Rangers FC Group Ltd - will not face court action over an allegation of an unpaid bill to Fyfe Ireland solicitors. The Edinburgh based firm was due to raise a small claims action at Edinburgh Sheriff Court for an alleged unpaid sum, believed to be £1,260. The action has now been dismissed after the matter was settled out of court. It is believed that the matter has been settled to the satisfaction of Fyfe Ireland and the bill has been paid. Quote
glasgow sheep Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 Another £500k gone: http://scotslawthoughts.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/rangers-fc-yet-another-court-case-this-time-as-pursuers-but-still-not-good-news/ Rangers FC – Yet Another Court Case. This Time As Pursuers, But Still Not Good News As I have often said, the Scottish Court Service court lists are a mine of information. Today’s list shows an interesting case listed under the “Sist Warning List”. SIST WARNING LIST The sist in the undernoted case has expired. Accordingly the case will be put out By Order in the near future. Intimation should be given to the Keeper of the Rolls of any cause on the list which has settled:- 1 A32/11 The Rangers Football Club plc v CRE8 (Publishing) Ltd Dundas & Wilson CS McClure Naismith To explain quickly a “sist” is a suspension of a case. This can come about because both parties agree to it; because one party persuades the court that it is necessary; or at the instance of the Judge. A sist can be ordered because there needs to be time for further investigation, for negotiation or because there are other proceedings which might affect the outcome of the present case. To avoid cases being sisted and going into what one Sheriff referred to as “outer darkness” cases which are sisted at the Court of Session are brought back to court after the sist has been in place for a period so that the court can check if the sist needs still to be in place, or if progress needs to be made with the case. This action was raised early this year and first called in court in February. The Rangers Football Club plc, incorporated under the Companies Acts (Co No.SC004276) and having its registered office at Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow AG CRE8 (Publishing) Ltd, incorporated under the Companies Acts (Co No. 06676057) and having its registered office at Fraser House, Wadham Close, Southrop, Lechlade Dundas & Wilson were listed as solicitors for Rangers. As this was a pre takeover case, and as Mr Whyte seems to have dispensed with most, if not all, of those connected to the Murray Holdings era, one wonders if Rangers are still instructing D&W. Unfortunately for Rangers, there seems to be little or no point in them pursuing the case. As the Drum Magazine reported in May 2011 CRE8 (Publishing) Ltd had gone into liquidation. This company was printer of many football clubs’ programmes. As the Drum reported, “Liquidation documents show Rangers owed almost £500,000, Celtic £400,000, Arsenal £270,000, West Ham £103,000 and Spurs £42,000. “Celtic fans were urged in November last year to apply to Cre8 for subscription refunds when the club cancelled its contract with the publisher due to allegedly unpaid royalties. Rangers likewise cancelled its contract telling fans to “cancel any direct debit payment with immediate effect”. “The collapse comes just three years after the group’s predecessor company Cre8 UK collapsed owing creditors including Birmingham City and Watford more than £2.1m.” As the company is in liquidation, it looks as if there will be no point in Rangers continuing to pursue the action. Accordingly, the sum of £500,000 in their accounts as a debtor will need to be written off – thus denting the profit and loss account and balance sheet further. As the case would seem to have little value to pursue, one wonders if Dundas and Wilson have any money due to be paid to them, or if they will have to join Levy & McRae and Fyfe Ireland in taking Rangers to court. Surely not! It is interesting that, in November, Rangers prudently told fans to cancel Direct Debits to a company whose financial existence was in great peril. I am sure that no one would consider giving the same advice to Rangers fans as regards their own team. Quote
