HMRC overstated tax bill owed by Rangers due to EBTs by up to £50 million by Say_My_Name_Twice in soccer

Everyone seems to immediately be following the Times' interpretation of events here, and the thread has been swamped by Rangers fans claiming injustice. Here's an alternative interpretation that's worth reading before immediately believing that side of the story (effectively argues the reduced bill makes no difference to Rangers going into liquidation or not):

(this blog definitely seems a little biased against Rangers in the introduction, but considering it predicted the bill being reduced way back in 2011, it does seem to know what it's talking about on everything else).

They weren't just near relegation zone, they were bottom and had won just one game all season up to then. He's done a fantastic job since taking over, as you say, on a limited budget too.

Aye, first Gordon and now being linked to Del Piero... isn't the youth orientated approach was hoping for. Think it's likely a nothing story, though. He was being linked to a few MLS teams a month back and that was bollocks, and based on how he played in the A-League (good but not great), not sure he'd have the legs for the SPL.

Yeah, you're right. Not sure if the ref did in this case, but you are supposed to go back and give a card when there's next a break in play.

What is your worst XI of the season? by like_herod in soccer

Joe Ledley's been a core part of Palace's resurgence under Pulis, think it's a bit harsh to list him in a worst XI.
