Evening blues brothers.
Apologies if one of my fellow bears has been in touch already, but I'm sure you will understand the importance of what I am about to say.
You will no doubt be aware of the eventful year we have had at Ibrox. It culminated in the liquidation of our old holding company after it had first been driven into administration by the wilful mismanagement of Craig Whyte. Whyte arrived at Ibrox under exceptional circumstances. We were being pursued for an alleged tax debt, relating to the use of Employee Benefit Trusts, and it has been widely suggested that we were being used as a test case by HMRC, who were looking beyond us to teams in the EPL that have also used EBT's. Our alleged tax debt was reported by some to be in excess of £100 million, and consequently our bank were threatening to withdraw credit facilities unless our then owner David Murray sold out to Whyte (a known charlatan that had a previous directorship ban and who was known as an asset stripper).
Last week the Tax Tribunal considering our case finally found in our favour. The potential tax bill that has held the fortunes of my club to ransom was deemed to be non-existent. There has been much mischief making by our enemies during the last few years and it is generally acknowledged that HMRC may have been leaking confidential financial information to our enemies in order to undermine Rangers. You can find some background to this on the link provided here;

Please read it and if you would like to help us campaign for a full parliamentary enquiry into the potential breaches of confidentiality by HMRC you can do so by signing one of the fastes trending e-petitions on the relevant government web-site.

Thanks for taking time to help us secure an enquiry.
Yours Fraternally from the Bluenoses of Ibrox.
