Celtic Rumours Archive February 08 2012

That was so easy against Scotland second team it was unreal. Celtic will dominate for years hearts were like a pub team imagine playing teams like that every week it's going to get very boring. Scottish football is rotten but if the fans are happy who cares rangers go to the wall who are we going to get a challenge from nobody. Another massive game on saturday. I n v e r n e s s whoopy whoopy.

If Gers go to the wall then their fans would start supporting other teams.They in turn get more revenue which means they can afford better players.Everyone's a winner.

Jungle Bhoy.

"Everyone's a winner"

Apart from the tax dodgers, lol.

I don't know about you ed but i'm starting to believe we could be watching the start of a very good team.I know fans from the other side will disagree but i've not felt so good about watching our team play since the Seville team.If we can keep the players together then i think this team can do something special.Every player seems to be playing with a smile on their face and the confidence seems sky high.The boys are of a good age and with the strength in depth we have got then i think a wee run in Europe could be on the cards,as long as they don't start off slowly again in the qualifiers.

Jungle Bhoy. {Ed007's Note - It is looking promising JB. We have ground out a few results but tonight was no grind, that was a great performance.}

The team is young and if we can keep most of them together they will get through to the latter stages of champions league in a year or two. some right good players in there.

Forget talking of europe , great prformance , the whole team playing well game at a time proud to be tim ..hail hail..derbycelt

I agree. This team has also shown that they can play in Europe as well. The result against Udinese should nto be taken lightly. Lets not forget that Udinese took Arsenal all the way in that game and it was only a very dodgy penalty that denied us knocking them out of europe. The competition in Scotland isnt great but it is what it is and the players are concentrated on winning every game. The squad has excellent strength in depth but it may be a job to keep them all happy now. I would like to see Ki given a chance this weekend as I think he is the best passer of the ball we have and also get Commons back in and playing. We have got some decent games coming up so lets utilise the squad and make sure they are all fighting to be in the team that gives the currants a right going over at the death star next month.

A question for Ed007 as you seem to be more clued up on the goings on at Ibrox than the eds on the Rangers page mate. I know of numerous examples but I will mention two in particular, Jonatan Johansson and Stale Stensaas both at Rangers from 1997-2000 were on £50k a week. Yes hard to believe but completely true. No tax was deducted from these payments so does the tax case go further back than the public are led to believe? Just wondering if you have had access to the same info as myself?

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - I'm not sure about Stensas but you are about right with Johansson, it was rumoured between £40 -50k a week at the time.}

Stensaas is definited bud, as are numerous others. I cant reveal my source but i have seen documents confirming this and no tax paid either. So it appears we have been using EBT's or similar systems for far longer than is being made public. At least since 1997 and possibly before that. I have a feeling you may have seen information similar to this. Am i right?

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - Rumours of EBTs being used before 2000/01 can't seem to be proven (at this time) but the evidence certainly points towards something not being right. Maybe it is an issue to do with the supposed 'two separate contracts' that has came up recently. There is a certain ex-Rangers official who seems to come up with some very strange payment methods for players e.g. Hearts. His role as company secretary at Ibrox gave him the responsibility of ensuring statutory compliance of RFC plc. He has never commented on anything or been questioned which I find strange.}

Yes Ed007 i know exactly WHO you mean bud. From what I have seen these systems have been in place for a long long time so there is no doubt EBT's were used prior to 2000/2001 season. Even YTS players and signings who barely made an appearance for us were on astronomical salaries. 50k a week seems to be a standard wage for most first team players at the time and don't get me started on the really high earners. Some of the accounts, players salaries and payments made are beyond belief. The structure of the accounting done in this period is mindblowing. I've previously had access to information previosly but nothing on this scale. I couldn't believe what i was seeing.

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - A lot of documents I have seen I would never have believed if they weren't in black and white in my hand. I know of one YTS player at Rangers (a real £29.50 a week YTS back in the day) was on £500 bonus for making the bench!!}

There also appears to be a lot of money went MISSING from Rangers during this period ED007. I can't quite take it all in mate. I think i'd rather be in the dark like most posters on here and the Rangers page. I need a stiff drink.

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - Too many people refused to believe it Gerry. I am not gloating by saying this, but I'm glad some people like yourself are seeing that most of the 'gossip' etc was/is true. Rangers fans need to get answers, and not just over Whyte, but stretching back years. The Murray Park set up, the food etc revenue (wasn't it Murray's company, not Rangers that owned the supplying company), were these revenues mortgaged off? even the JJB deal seemed a bit iffy and pointless. You obviously have got hold of some sensitive information there Gerry, just be careful who you share it with mate, you might think I am some Timmy madman but please trust me on that one.}

I know Ed007, a lot of questions need answered mate. Obviously I cant elaborate or go into great detail on here as to what I have seen for the very reason you have mentioned. I will just have to keep the majority of it to myself for now.

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - Take care mate.}

Anyhoo, I cant get into trouble for sharing a RUMOUR with you ed anyway can I lol.

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - Course not mate. Your secret is safe with me.}

And everyone who reads this page lol.

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - LOL}

You positive I cant get into bother for posting this on here Ed007? You've kinda got me worried now fella.

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - No need to worry Gerry. Nobody knows any your personal details what so ever.}

Good stuff mate, a weight off my mind that. Wish i could tell everybody though. Typical eh, you have the story of a lifetime and you cant tell a soul. I hope my fellow Bears can wake up and see whats really happening. Will they though? I Have my doubts.

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - Send it to me lol Me, my wife, mammy and family get threatened on here at least once a week!!!}

Lol i've got a sneaky feeling you may have already seen the information for yourself anyway. I'm hoping you're joking about yourself and your family being threatened on a weekly basis, but sadly I fear you are not.

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - No mate I am not joking sadly, nothing I haven't heard before and it is just silly little keyboard warriors with their disgusting talk about women and how tough they are. It is water off a duck's back to me. All of us Eds get abuse one way or another but for some reason I seem to bring out the worst in some of the Rangers supporters. But there is a lot of decent ones as well and I know there are idiots on both sides, the guys doing the Rangers page get a fair bit, all of them are English and apart from Ed014 have no interest in Rangers but get called allsorts of names.}

Thats the spirit bud don't let them bother you! Anyway i'm away for a wee greet now after taking all this in lol. Was having a wee trawl through the posts, glad to see your niece is on the road to recovery. Night all.

Gerry The Ger. {Ed007's Note - Thanks Gerry, night and take care mate.}

If HMRC are prepared to go down the route of putting Hearts into liquidation for a measly £100,000 , then Rangers will definately suffer the
same fate if they lose the tax case , Mr Whyte cant possibly pay £49m back , looks like curtains i'm afraid .

08 Feb 2012 09:36:26
we were linked with claros a while back, will we go back for him if he does ok at hibs?

08 Feb 2012 03:56:19
ED do u think if rangers go bust then we might end up getting into the EPL ourselfs {Ed007's Note - No.}

If Rangers go to the wall I think we will pucsh for atlantic league again.

No chance, one without the other? Pointless........sad, but true.
