Supreme Court rules in HMRC's favour. DeadRangers cheated. There is no appeal.

Why there is no discussion about stripping titles/trophies I'll never know, from 2001-09 they were won by cheating the taxman and the history books should reflect that.

Thrifting Day! posted:It looks pretty definitive to me. Celtic say "we wait to see what the new review will say, but were surprised at the old one". SFA say "eh, we done the review, move along" within a matter of hours (if even that). The club's statement makes obvious they are looking for some sort of well thought out investigation/consideration to stripping titles "as subtle as a Rambo knife" was that statement. Celtic fans already talking about staying away from cups, etc, and suing the SFA for season ticket/travel money during the seasons they were supposed to be attending fair competitive games. A fair bit of YER DA type bluster but will be interesting to see if the SFA actually have the last word on it there, I don't think so. Played their hand extremely fast.

I can't imagine a less prestigious trophy you could possibly have on your record than one where you came well second in a dying league but then made a bunch of weepy threats to the SFA about the unfairness of bad accounting practices until they gave you a trophy to go away Well, I mean, unless the team that beat you had just been turfed out of Europe in July by a plastic free-kick wall and three children in an overcoat - that'd probably be less prestigious

I mean, I don't actually care where old scottish trophies end up, but sometimes it's nice to go to the zoo. That said, the problem you're going to have here is that from a technical perspective, Rangers haven't broken the law, they've just underpaid tax. If the club in question was Manchester City, they'd just cut a cheque for £30m or so in the lobby and then be done with the whole thing. Still cheaper than loving Mangala. It's not that unusual for a major company to have tax disputes with HMRC and to come to some settlement later. HMRC haven't been chasing this so that they can lock up the people involved, they've been chasing it because it sets a precedent for similar schemes elsewhere. Of course, in the fact that Old Rangers immediately collapsed like a hot air balloon full of farts and bigotry as soon as it was challenged pretty much implies that they gained a major on-field advantage from doing it, but unless the SFA has a rule on the books that says "thou shalt not run up clownish and unpayable debt while chasing the dream of being able to beat teams from countries that exist in my dad's Atlas", you've got nothing really to charge them with.

I'm sure Bert would have definitely signed for Rangers for half the wages. We should have a whip round for him after his bankruptcy from the tax proceedings against him and the other 47 players.

From a technical perspective Rangers played 48 ineligible players in these games because they submitted fake contracts to the SFA as part of defrauding the tax man. The SFA punishment for Spartans failing to date one page of a contract for a player was to throw them out the Scottish cup and fine them £4,000. Rangers submitting 48 fake contracts was totally fine though apparently Nobody wants the vacated titles, but they should 100% be stripped.

FullLeatherJacket posted:I mean, I don't actually care where old scottish trophies end up, but sometimes it's nice to go to the zoo. The debt came from Oldco paying players/staff more money by making some of their wages an untaxable "loan" from the club, illegal contracts - other teams couldn't compete with the wages offered and 48 players likely wouldn't have signed for Rangers without it. If that's not an unfair advantage I don't know what is. This scheme is also a large part of why Scottish football abandoned the youth setup in order to chase a team running away with titles by unfairly buying in players they couldn't actually afford without cheating the tax man; so you could blame it in part for the larger deterioration of the game in Scotland as teams tried to apply the same tactics of buying in foreigners and running into massive financial troubles for doing so.

They’re not going to be stripped, they’ll never be stripped, stop wanking yourself into a furore over this and accept it or you’ll end up like one of the nutters who reads Phil macs blog
