I've got no clue what is going on with Rangers etc but saw a point earlier about the land.
Why couldn't houses have been built on the training ground or where the stadium is?
The Training Ground - it was a condition set by the local council that they would allow development of the land for this purpose only. No residential development allowed in the future. Not sure if 'green belt' is the correct technical term to use for the land plus it's next to milgavie/bearsden so would be highly desirable for residential development if allowed.Why couldn't houses have been built on the training ground or where the stadium is?
The Stadium - the brick front facade of the main stand is a listed building. Plus it's in Govan - not a desirable area.

THERE has been growing speculation recently that an announcement from the First Tier Tax tribunal is imminent.
The Club has no knowledge of when such an announcement will be made. However, the Club as it now stands as part of The Rangers Football Club Ltd. has been informed by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs that any decision by the First Tier Tax Tribunal will not affect the operations of The Rangers Football Club Ltd.
This tax liability which is under consideration by the Tribunal is historic and was a matter for The Rangers Football Club plc ('oldco') which is in administration and will be subject to liquidation in due course.
The Rangers Football Club Ltd. is a corporate entity formed following the acquisition in June this year by a consortium led by Charles Green of the business and assets of Rangers, including the Club and its honours.
Unpaid tax liabilities led to the demise of 'oldco' and the EBT arrangements were part of 'oldco's' liabilities. As HMRC stated in June when they decided to vote against the proposed oldco CVA, no tax liabilities relating to 'oldco' would transfer across to the new company. HMRC have recently reaffirmed this position to the Club's tax advisers, Deloitte.
The Rangers Football Club Ltd. is a company free of external debt and all liabilities relating to 'oldco' are a matter for the administrators.
The impending decision of the First Tier Tax Tribunal once again calls into question the validity of the SPL Commission into the use of EBTs. They are clearly a matter for the old company and The Rangers Football Club is trying to rebuild as a great sporting institution.

Clubs go through different owners.
/sameoldstory
Clubs do go through different owners, that is until they are liquidated./sameoldstory
“HMRC has taken the view that the public interest will be better served with the liquidation of The Rangers Football Club plc”
Straight from the mouth of Paul Clark (Duff & Phelps)
And from the BBC
“The Rangers Football Club PLC is a public limited company registered in Scotland (company number: SC004276) and was incorporated on 27 May 1899. When the current company is officially liquidated, all of its corporate business history will come to an end.”
And finally from Sir Walter the great
"We wish the new Rangers Football Club every good fortune."

Yes, so? Corporate business history is not the "Club" “The Rangers Football Club PLC is a public limited company registered in Scotland (company number: SC004276) and was incorporated on 27 May 1899. When the current company is officially liquidated, all of its corporate business history will come to an end.”

Show me where Greenie and his lot purchased the club as claimed in your link from yesterday.
Stadium - Check
Training ground - Check
a few players - Check
Old trophies - Check
Other odds and sodds - Check
Out of all his acquisitions, a club certainly wasn't one of them.
But keep on pretending. A few of your other fans will ensure by threats of violence that the majority of the press go along with the lie

When we were kids we often wondered how cool and awesome if Rangers FC were eradicated. Naively we did
't realise that even if that were to happen, the spirit and attitude would unfortunately live on in the shape of an identikit replacement. It's like a body has died but now we have the stench instead
