Why was it left to Super Ally to be the only one defending us? And John Brown to be fair.
Where were lawyers and experts?

Lawyers cost money. If the latter days of the Murray era everything was being pared back. Whyte wanted the club to be liquidated so he wasn't fighting anythingWhy was it left to Super Ally to be the only one defending us? And John Brown to be fair.

This probably won't go well.
Usual ones will be along to abuse McCoist shortly.
Too true mate. I can fully see why McCoist is disliked in some quarters but if it hadn't been for him especially, and Sandy Jardine you can bet your bottom dollar that we would've been stripped of titles.Super Ally was magnificent back then, Ally and Sandy Jardine were absolute colossi for us.
Something far too many on here forget.
Aye he was some striker.If it wasn't for Ally McCoist I reckon we would now have less league titles than Celtic.
just listened to ally on talksport. well done.
Any chance of summarising?

McCoist outraged by reported shock tax blunder blamed for Rangers' financial ruin

I’ve just mentioned again in another thread that my wife worked for the club during admin and all that unfolded.McCoist was manager at the time but more importanly one of the biggest Rangers fans you could meet. I genuienly beleive that if he was around when all this happened we as a club would of folded

PatterAye he was some striker.
Thinking about it all again makes me feel queasy but I will never ever forget what John Brown and Ally McCoist done for Rangers. Remember waiting outside Ibrox for leadership that day and Brown was there for us. We came through the wringer flattened and tattered but we are going to be a force again pretty soon under Gerrard, which by the way was a master stroke and King has steadied the ship as a leader.
We as a support did not forget our north east corner when needed and we are indeed the people, I am proud to be a part of Rangers as my father before me and my love for Rangers has become stronger than ever.
WATP
To think what McCoist must have gone through personally at that time, and now to find this out. Truly is unbelievable, and cap is duly doffed to him.listen to it yourself m8

I gave mcoist dogs with his management of rangers but now i think what could have been.. when we lost to celtic at newyr the stories were starting to filter through about players unrest due to missing pay cheques n going into admin.. did that affect the moral.. of course it did... there is every chance we would have reached 55 before 2014.. would brenda had become manager.. ..This probably won't go well.

He stepped up to the plate when plenty others could've but didnt. Well deserved naming of stand after him. Forever a Rangers hero.I can't help but feel a distinct pang of sadness that Sandy Jardine suffered through all of this and for nothing. Will always be eternally grateful to him for standing up for us but to learn that he needn't have. Rankles me massively, especially when we all know it played havoc with a man who was already very ill at the time.
He doesn’t have to repair reputation damage for this time, in my opinion.I'd love an opportunity for Ally to repair the reputation damage done in his Managerial time at Rangers. Here is a stage for Ally to use his media exposure and contacts to vehemently defend the club and its supporters and strike back at those who tried to destroy us and to this day still wage a war of hatred. Over to you Super....
100% agreed.McCoist was manager at the time but more importanly one of the biggest Rangers fans you could meet. I genuienly beleive that if he was around when all this happened we as a club would of folded
Every time I see a clip of that goal I just think that Trevor Steven's face is priceless.
We did have lawyers. The lawyers told us that legally we didn't owe HMRC a penny.
Unfortunately HMRC found a judge who disregarded the letter of the law in favour of a "common sense" solution.
John Brown on the steps of Ibrox will never be forgotten.
Didn't envy one bit the position he was in when all sorts were going on behind his back,sure it would've been his dream job but never in those circumstances.Superb mate, thanks for posting.
Won't see a bad word said about super ally and his comments there are bang on.
The first two tribunals, FTT and UTT, were primarily tax courts, for want of a better phrase.I'm sure we won the first two tribunals against HMRC. It then went to the Court of Session and the Panel in Edinburgh, including the notorious Lord Carloway, saw differently ?

No board and McCoist was the only voice we had at the time.
None of the Rangers support stood up either, it must be said. Must be lawyers, accountants, business experts in the support but none could be found when it mattered.
CEO required. Apply to Mr. D. King c/o Ibrox.
Role description - Robustly defend the interests of Rangers on and off the pitch.
