Just listening to radio Clyde and Mark guidi/ darrel king said it's just a rumour but there could be a settlement between rangers / taxman in the region of 10/15 million

Really doubt it

Yup, sounds a done deal, sell big Jela, pay the first instalment and let's crack on. Let's also ship out the pish in our squad and go with youth, padded with Templeton from Hearts and the wee man from St Johnstone (Davidson), perhaps a wee six month deal for Boydy, to replace Jela in the short term?

How deluded are yous lot/??/the very most will be 8million,and thats pushing it,yeh the guys got talent,but 1 lazy boyd in him,when games not in gers favour,and for the taxman.lmao.hes still seething,at u lot buying big jelly for 4.4million,when owed,the small debt ,at the time ,for 2.8milion,tut tut,which has now risen too about 5 million,paye yer way.yet u lot,still aint seeing whats staring yous in the face....yer whyte knight,will w8 till jan sales,make few bob for himelf,and dissolve and bury rfc

Considering the tax man has written off 25 billion last year in corporate tax I dont see why not... CheltBlue

..How deluded are we?...you want to read that post back to yourself and then look up the defenition of "deluded" lolz..

Little chance of a deal being done,thats why whyte went to london for corporate sympathy.all the non payments will work against him.the taxman is raging with him i know this 4 a fact.not 49 but nearer 32million

Sorry guys i work for centre 1 well up!
It is common know rangers f.c are to lose this case for about the 40million mark but maybe our only way forward is admin and given a couple of seasons we will be back. whyte is not going to be the knight we want in the longoing run if you trace his career back you will see not much gets paid by that man but only Tim will tell? W.a.t.p

Think Guidi and King have it spot on. Think about it sensibily. Say Gers owe £50m ( for talking sake). Gers turn round and say we cannae afford pay it, best we can do is pay our creditors 10p in the pound. So HMRC are left with getting £5m and anyone else thats owed cash gets a fraction of what they are owed. OR does Whyte turn round to HMRC and cut a deal that sees the tax man get £15 - £20m and avoid the club going into administration ? Therefore HMRC instead of getting only £5m he gets £15m - £20, since there is no way he is gonna get his £50m. So HMRC bites the bullet and takes a £30-£35m hit instead of a £45m hit. Makes a wee bit of sense.

To the poster who alleges they work for Centre 1. You are either a very stupid civil servant or you are talking absolute rubbish. For the record, I do work for HM government and if I knew for sure anything about the ongoing discussions between Rangers FC and HMRC, and then posted about it on here, I would be on a disciplinary and looking at being dismissed. The facts are: we don't know exactly what is happening. Craig Whyte will have at least two short to medium term plans for us. One may involve administration, the other may involve a negotiated smaller settlement and the club running on a very small and tight budget. I do not think Craig Whyte will be in the helm long term, but I do think that he will guide us through this difficult period in our history, before accepting an offer from another individual/consortium for controlling interest in the club.
P.S. still no official interest from any clubs regarding Jelavic, but as an update to the post I made regarding Goian a couple of weeks ago: A struggling EPL club did enquire about his availability to his agent, which then got back to Ibrox. This led to Rangers entering into negotiations into trying to extend his contract. That is all I have on that one at the moment though.

1 rangers have not been found guilty yet so why are they talking about fines 2rangers have nothing to do with the case (it mih lawyers part of whyte deal was he couldnt even comment on it apart from we think we can win it)3why if guilty would hmrc accept a fifth or quarter of the total bill,we have ibrox murray park,players who all could be sold to get the total amount of money out of us(unless mr whyte has already done a deal with him being 1st preformace)we are in big trouble dont listen to the so called scottish media drip feeding us little titbit of bad news then some good news lafferty edu to sign new contracts,we dont need to sell all great work from jack irvine and rangers media-imagine one think if the team from the east cound not get their accounts signed off and didnt hold a AGM what the same reporters be so silent-beware of this whyte xmas bears

Wake up bears! this is all spin heading to transfer window to make sure any predators think we dont need money.google rangers tax case blogger got proof n very well informed,i hav never fancied whyte and think dm has pretty much shafted him and gers.admin is probable outcome with at least two players out.listen to walters quotes n read between the lines.whyte thought a share issue wz viable but dismal failure of last try still haunts us

I have told you all for months the tax bill will be settled for 8.1 million. if you need to hear it from a loser on clyde one to believe it why come on here?
the tiger - still beyond reproach

This rumour does make sense when Goldman Sachs got away with a 9 million fine watch out Arsenal are next as they have been doing the same

Arsenal have already settled out of court, a few years back!

with the old transfer rumours starting again - av been speaking to my good friend at McDiarmid Park about whos in and out - and with Lomas saying he wants to bring in some new faces he is looking at bringing John Fleck on Loan along with Salim Kerkar plus £500,000 (original offer) for Central Midfielder Murray Davidson.

in other news - there will be no Hearts players joining Rangers come January as all payments will be made come the end of this month - Jelavic will not be leaving as financially it doesnt make sense - with the Euros just round the corner Whyte will wait till at least then to see if his valuation increases and then sell him -Along with Davis and Edu. Whyte will be looking to the future looking to bring in Allan, Hateley and Davidson along with the new Nambian under 19s player - building his team around Kyle Hutton and Jamie Ness

Nonsense!if whyte spends money b4 tax issue sorted they will hammer him 4 it and want all the money paid immediatly then the fire sale starts

Complete and utter poppy c@ck, get a life man !! FFS Total GARBAGE.......

When did Whyte become the manager? It aint Hearts pal

Pash Rangers build their team around kyle hutton?.

Hearts players will put a complaint to SFA/SPL if they don't get paid and may invoke Fifa legislation allowing them to terminate a contract “with just cause"

So they can essentially walk away (This is highly doubtful to happen as am sure it would involve a lengthy court case)

Rangers are certainly looking to the future now, but need to keep the balance of on field success and drip feeding young players like bendicksen, wylde perry, hutton, hemmings, and Ness in with experienced players. I honestly think the only one to go in January will be big Jelavic - big as good as he is, if we continue to play with one guy up front then he wont be a great loss (OMG Wait for the big online scrap)

The guy needs naismith to do the dirty work, and without him, or someone similar he will struggle to find the net.

KRIS BOYD will not be returning to Rangers after ending his unhappy spell in Turkey.
(evening times)- thank god, he's a total diddy!

Oh shut up ... who cares if he didn't score a shed load away from gers fact is he scored and he scored consistently for us

torres currently has this problem .... no one is saying he is a diddy in fact teams are lining up hoping for his signature..

if you ask me kris boyd would be welcome back any day of the week .... he scores he scores and he scores some more in a gers shirt...

First you lot say he was better than larsson, now hes the same as torres. lmao

Nobody said he was better than larsson, and stop twistin words, torres is an example of how even the best players have bad spells

Well he was better than larsson, because he scored more goal than him, simples!

He has played 78 mins since moving to turkey which is no surprise because he is absolutely useless. he cant run, control, pass, dribble. and this nonsense about his goals against spl teams excluding celtic, chances are created for him as rangers have better players than the likes of st mirren. how did he fair in europe or against celtic for instance. and to mention boyd in the same sentence as torres is simply laughable!

Hooper has more goals than jelavic does that means hes better

He stunk cant beleive mcleish was going to pay 4 million for him (oh aye thats right its cos hes a s**te manager) as the villla fans are finding out)

Kris Boyd would disrupt the dressing room again, so no no no. If anything our priority should be a creative midfielder, because with Davis out of form, and Naismith out we are not getting enough quality balls into Jella. Lafferty and Aluko will make a big difference now their back, but a wee bit more quality in midfield will do. plus a nippy striker.

2006–2010 Rangers 143 games 101 goals not a bad return... i think people are stupid to claim he is better than Larsson as he clearly isnt but he is more prolific - as for the "he cant run, control,pass, dribble" comment... who cares? he is a goal scorer... hes there to score goals and thats what he did - he was lazy and could do nothing for 89 mins and still score the winner... reminds me of a certain Ally McCoist (and before any dafties pipe up, am not saying hes as good as McCoist, i am saying he is a similar type of player. he knows his abilities and thats to score goals) Andrei Schvenchenko was a world class player yet couldnt score in the premier league because he wasnt suited for it... just like Boyd isnt for Turkey. SPL is his level- if someone guaranteed you 20+ a season you'd bite his hand off. Boyd back anyday

He only scored more than larsson because of the amount of pens rangers get

Can we lay the Boyd Larsson thing to rest? It seems to be a common misconception that Boyd scored more league goals in Scotland than Larsson. This is just not true. He scored more SPL goals because all his tome in Scotland wad in the SPL era. Larsson scored more league goals including the pre SPL era in which he played. Boyd (Killie and gers) 164 goals in 296 Scottish league games. This is a strike rate of 55%. Larsson 174 goals in 221 Scottish league games. Strike rate 79%. Jhimbo.

Think if youy check records Celtic have the all time record of most penalties given and the least given against, so shut up.

To even mention boyd in the same line as larsson is shocking boyd isntgood enough to tie his laces larsson was the best player ever to walk on scottissh pitches fact

Two words for u timmy. gazza and laudrup were better than larsson! why do these timothys come on here. get a life and retreat to the losers website

Very difficult to compare players such as gazza laudrup larsson mccoist. different positions and different types of players.

Regardless of what position or type of players they were, gazza and laudrup were better players. simple as that.

Jesus we gave David Healy a deal so why not Boyd the man scored goals for fun in the SPl, I would take him back so he could pick up from where he left off!
He is a penalty box striker, he is not a Midfielder or a winger or anything else so the fact he can't run, pass, tackle means nothing, his jib was to score goals which he did and it won us league titles! Come home Kris!

The post saying Boyd's strike rate was 55%, not really a fair point considering much of the time was spent at Kilmarnock where chances were harder to come by, where as Larsson spent all seven of his years in Scotland with a team that were pushing for the league every year were chances were frequent.

That said, Larsson still has a better strike percentage even if you only take Boyd's time at Rangers. Boyd scored 101 goals in 144 league games for Rangers - which is a 70% hit rate. Larsson as you said had a phenomenal 79% hit rate. I do not think any right minded Gers fan would ever pick Boyd ahead of Larsson if they had to pick one to be in their starting eleven though, so to be honest I think the debate is a little silly. Both were great goal scorers, Larsson was a better player.

However he was not on the level of Gazza or Laudrup - he was just here longer in my view.

However, taking the Larsson v Boyd debate out of this and thinking rationally, I cannot see why we would not sign Boyd. A 70% hit rate seems mad to not bring in if his wage demands are not ridiculous.

Well worth a punt, and better him on the bench than Healy.
