He's basically saying the RFC carcass won't be able to pay a £5m bill, so what was even the danger of losing the case? It seems to be a bit like a convicted serial killer celebrating that his 200 year sentence has been halved. I hope I'm not being overly dramatic

Now I'm not saying I'd chip in if it were my club but it would strike me as a bit odd for a club who professes a loyalty to the British Crown to not put together a "Fighting Fund" to pay monies avoided through deceit. Especially since Rangers fans clearly have a lot of time for the marvellous work carried out by the armed forces, and love to show their support for them - these are men and women who are dying in their noble peace keeping missions in Iraq and Afghanistan due to lack of resources. It would be puzzling for a club's fans to continue in their loud support for and loyalty to an establishment while at the same time smugly wringing their hands at the prospect of shafting them out of money.

Allowing documents to be leaked and pushing an agenda that led to the club almost being destroyed Sorry you can't expect the fans to accept it meekly. Everything points to Whyte now you would think an agency with there sweeping powers would be able to bring him to justice

Remember, it was Rangers appeal that led to the hold up and ye got a judgement that puts the pressure on the trustees of the EBT's rather than the club which is a victory of sorts but it doesnt clear up the issue of undeclared contracts and the rules that applied to all SPL clubs during this policy at the club. Heaping the blame onto HMRC and Whyte is lame really. If they were really loans surely they would have been paid back during administration?! :pac:
