The Fly

I believe an Insolvency practitioner (the Administrator in our case) has to assess the history of the business and conduct of all the directors (or people who acted as if they were directors) of the company and then report to the government Insolvency Service within six months of their appointment. These reports are confidential, but I think the information contained in them is the primary source of evidence for any subsequent attempt to disqualify a person from being a company director in the future.

It's not part of the primary legislation that governs insolvency (Insolvency Act 1986) or the secondary legislation from 2016 (England) or 2018 (Scotland), but something that the football governing bodies insist upon to allow a club to continue after the Insolvency process. As such it's rather controversial and frequently criticised - I don't think there's any other sector with an equivalent provision.

My heart sinks when I see someone's name as a thread title - awful news and my sympathy to all his friends and family. A football club is nothing without fans and Johndo was such a big part of this club, so recognisable

Very sorry to hear this. There's not much I can add to the above tributes, but repeat how generous and friendly Ian was - and his contribution to the history of ICT will always be remembered.

Stuart Baxter has got experience in a few countries, double winner last season, few years left to retirement - perfect choice!

I just need to plug a £20 cable and get a bit of software on the computer to clock mine in a couple of minutes ;) Mind you, do they have computers in Dingwall?

Mod note: I've edited the post in question - I believe it was just a geniune error in the location of the quote tag, rather than an intentional mis-quote.

I think this is a real goer, but we're thinking too small. We should look at getting Terry, Mo, Charlie and Rosscoe's faces carved into the Plockton Crags, just like them Merrican presidents

thank goodness!

I'll see your Jura 10yo and raise you a Scapa 1993! Hmm... 12yo Highland Park is as close as I can get - will have to go shopping next week!

Jura 10yo :-)

Agree exactly with Doofers Dad

The policy is that cheap Advance tickets normally go on sale 12 weeks before, the same I think for all train companies apart from if there's engineering works planned.

Without waiting for the official verdict it seems that Rangers' problem is that they didn't use some of the money saved with the EBTs to employ a decent tax lawyer to make sure the scheme was completely legit and properly operated so that there couldn't have been a challenge from the Revenue in the first place...
