notsobigfatdave Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I see East Sterling are taking 40,000 to Ibrox tomorrow... http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/45-000-see-rangers-face-blokes-coming-off-153126585.html That will be the biggest game in the lives of some of those part timers.

fergie1919 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I can't understand why they're allowed to keep Ibrox. Surely it should be sold to pay debts??? I know. They. Make me sick. Paying these players near enough 10k a week. They can afford to do that Still but they couldn't pay their debts? All their fans acting all smug because they have no debt anymore. The creditors who recieved nothing must be seething. Watching this new team splash the cash. Sorry. My rant is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Night84 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Football clubs are granted so much more leniency by the HMRC and courts. Any small family business would have had everything taken from underneath straight away. Another way football is distancing itself from the common man. It's disgusting these teams are allowed to get away with all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTone Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I can't understand why they're allowed to keep Ibrox. Surely it should be sold to pay debts??? Charles Green the new owner bought Ibrox along with the training ground and other assets of the club. The question should be asked how much did he pay which in my mind was no where near its true market value. As always its the small business owners who are in danger of bankruptcy because they haven't been paid. I agree it absolutely stinks and should never have been allowed to happen.
