Shocking if true. Heads should roll. Think of the compo.

So, they werent innocent, just should not have been fined as much?
Is that the strength of it?

The bluenose feeding the story is just the quickest of the very slow readers on Ibrox watch. The differentials in money don't obscure the bottom line that they cheated massively and still never got the punishment they deserved.I’ve just had a closer look at the actual documents surrounding the tax case. This was announced 5 months ago, odd that suddenly this has this been picked up by the Times in Scotland?
Perhaps most importantly, the decision has been made to in effect reduce the amount due. This is stated in court papers from January 2019 as a result of a cost vs effort decision by HMRC. The organisation they are pursuing no longer exists, the decision has been made not to pursue the penalty element of the overall liability, because they’d never recover it.
That this is somehow a victory for Rangers is such a distortion of the truth it’s laughable
Tongue in cheek mate. It’s going to be interesting to see how it pans out"oversight" suggests it was an accident.
someone from within HMRC spent their days feeding Celtic-minded journalists and blogs information. Information that was clearly based on fuck all.
forgive me for wondering whether this "oversight" was accident..
Aye but if Hodgsons England hadnt got beat at the Euro'sMore to the point, if this hadn't happened, we may have never ended up with Bain at Sunderland. We should be suing HMRC too
Considering the money they pocketed off you for Tore Andre Flo, I'd consider it karma.

are you choosing to ignore "and all the implications of that"?
The Copland Road blog (despite the daft tag line) are very "well in" at Rangers. They know their stuff.

The most interesting aspect of the thread thus far.Alreet Gillian?
Are they "well in" with the company that was liquidated and are implicated by this non story or are they "well in" with the new company which is a completely different legal and financial entity ran by completely different people?

Can it be brushed off if it's what the other lad is saying and they've written off the balance because there's nobody left to chase for it?both. They kept us informed through the initial process. They were first to the story last night.
wrongly liquidated. Imagine if this was McDonalds or some other multi million pound company who couldn't just rise again after a false tax claim. It would make the national and international news.
it's hardly something that can be brushed off with a shrug of the shoulders.
an entire company was destroyed, jobs lost, lives ruined, millions spent on court cases scrutinising false info because HMRC were employing someone who either couldn't work a calculator or worse still didn't want to use a calculator properly.

The other lad is saying they can't recover the cash from Rangers because they don't exist anymore. So it's not that they were fined/charged the wrong amount, the revenue are saying they can't collect it (I haven't read any articles). That's totally different to being charged the wrong amount in the first place (in which case I'd agree with you).Surely it shouldn't matter? Lives were ruined regardless of whether Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker have moved on and can't chase it. A public inquiry is the absolute minimum that Rangers should be chasing.
