They cut it short...

We are the people....who don't pay tax wink
Yes we are the TRUE and LOYAL people, who despite our loyalty aren't inclined to pay tax to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

Facts:

let's look at what Rangers actually won between 2001 and 2010. I'll start at the 2001/02 season since any player playing in the previous season would have had a contract signed in 2000 which is before the Murray Group began using EBTs.

2001/02: ­ Scottish Cup & League Cup Double (Celtic won the league)

2002/03: ­ Treble (Rangers win the league by one goal)

2003/04: ­ Nothing (Celtic win league and Scottish Cup)

2004/05: ­ League & League Cup Double (Celtic win Scottish Cup, Rangers win league by one point)

2005/06: ­ Nothing (Celtic win league & League Cup)

2006/07: ­ Nothing (Celtic win league & Scottish Cup)

2007/08: ­ Scottish Cup & League Cup Double (Celtic win league)

2008/09: ­ League & Scottish Cup Double (Celtic win League Cup)

2009/10: ­ League & League Cup Double

In nine seasons Rangers won four league titles, four Scottish Cups and five League Cups. By comparison Celtic won five league titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups. Hibs and Livingston were the two other sides to win a League Cup during the spell, Dundee United and Hearts both lifted the Scottish Cup.

So Celtic won the league more than Rangers during this period. It was only your poor record in cup competitions that stopped you beating us overall for trophies during this period. Unfair advantage? Where?

Would you all like a cup for your tears? biggrin Your team are playing in Europe tonight, and your post is all about The Rangers? Quelle Surprise.

The EBT saga will drag on and on if old rangers appeal this ruling,but who is funding this sham?
If these EBTs are not earnings but loans why are the Rangers creditors not asking for the loans to be repaid?

On a more important subject, we were piss poor again last night and the blame falls firmly on the centre back positions and the striking options. Imo

One and only post on the EBT subject as don't want the troll to derail the thread any further


From https://www.pumptax.com/wp-content/u...rray291012....

page 9, Lines 34 and 35.

"Mr Black ( Murray) did not consider the trust (EBT's) as a means of tax avoidance, but rather as a means of rewarding and retaining loyal employees. So far as Rangers were concerned it enabled the Club to attract players who would not otherwise have been affordable."
