Recommended Posts

"And why did you not just get rid of all those players on day one?" would be the only answer required.

"because we arra peepul and we kin dae whit we want, wur bigger than the SFA, SFL, FIFA an aw the other diddy tems pit the gither" would have been the reply, maybe not verbally but certainly by their actions.

More to the point, and as in your face as you'll get, hypocritical even, the money they're putting in is a loan, so how's thaht not more debt? Somebody should put that to him at a news conference.

A loan is standard in these cases. Green owns 85% of the club, they aren't allowed to issue new shares so there isn't really another way to invest capital that isn't a loan. Makes no difference anyway, Green's group are essentially loaning money to themselves, so it isn't really new debt, it is investment capital.

I had a look at what it cost Motherwell for administration cost which lasted nearly 2 years. Total cost was £407,000 a mere fraction of Rangers admin costs. While Motherwell admin was not as complex we did have litigation with the Inland Revenue and had to deal with Failkirk trying to cheat their way into the SPL. Administration and legal costs at Rangers are so high that they get more than the creditors. (C&B lawsuit pending)

"According to details contained within proposals to place Rangers into a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), the administrative team has run up about £5.5m in fees for their work in compiling an exit from administration.

However, as a supervisor of the CVA, the team is likely to add a further £6.2m, and another £6.2m as liquidator, to its tab. A CVA and liquidation process can run for several years, but no details have been provided within the proposals as to the estimated timescale for Rangers' CVA.

The £5.5m fee for the administrators' work so far includes time costs and legal fees for several legal actions, including forcing ex-owner Craig Whyte's lawyers, Collyer Bristow, to hand over £3.9m and a separate legal action against them, which is due to finish later this year.

The administrators also managed to convince bidder Sevco to transfer £200,000 for running costs in exchange for exclusivity rights to the club.

Sevco, a consortium of investors fronted by Charles Green, are willing to advance Rangers £8.3m following CVA approval."

:huh:

SPL statement:

So the 3 relevant decisions are...

[1] from now on it's an EGM of clubs, not the Board, who'll consider Newcos: but they can pick a punishment so the previous proposals are redundant;

[2] you'll now get deducted 1/3 of previous season's points for admin if finished with 30+

[3] punishments for late taxes + wages

Wait a minute, did the SPL kill the Green CVA?

Look at the conditions.

I cant remember the exact wording, but was it not something like receiving "assurances" from the SPL and SFA that Rangers could continue to play in the SPL?

The liquidation process won't be complete until all the liabilities have been addressed. In practice the money from the sale of the assets would go into the bank until the liquidators were satisfied that there would be no more claims - then it gets divied. There is absolutely no chance of the club being formally wound up prior to the tax case being decided.

But what impact would it have on the newco? Presumably none.

In the event of the oldco being liquidated, what happens to the newco? At the time of Millers 'incubator' scheme there was talk of the oldco owning the shares of the newco and other stuff. I dont think we ever really go to the bottom of what all that meant.

:o Man alive!

You are all saying a CVA is unlikely on the basis but the article, in Accountancy Age, clearly states that in the event of liquidation their fees will be an extra £6.2 million. That makes liquidation even less attractive to the creditors surely.

Just realised the SPL Board meeting about dual contracts, going on now, could be about whether they've received all the info they demanded from Duffman. The deadline issued last week was for about now, and sanctions were promised if they didn't comply. Could be more juicy nuggets coming out today.. rolleyes.gif
