Great. I think we should all push to pay less than a tenth of our tax liabilities in that case.Quote:

CHARLES GREEN has put himself in line for a potential £4million windfall from his plan to keep the padlock off the front doors of Ibrox.
Record Sport can today reveal secret details of Green’s proposals to save Rangers from extinction.
The plans have been published in a glossy 24-page presentation to prospective investors.(why a prospectus when investors were already in the bag)
Green claims anyone willing to invest in his rescue mission will double their cash as part of a get-rich-quick scheme. (good selling pont for ST sales ...Not)
And the document reveals Green also stands to personally pocket a multi-million pound bonus from the deal, despite not laying out a penny of his own money on the takeover. (its what Rangers owners do...risk anybodys but their own money)
The Yorkshireman is still trying to recruit more financial muscle and hopes to raise as much as £40m from investors. (flap flap oink)
Last week he was scheduled to provide £2.7m – needed, it’s thought, to pay the club’s wage bill until a CVA is accepted in early July – but administrators were left empty handed. (another dudline missed...cant believe D&P still working with tis guy)
However, after a day of talks yesterday, Green delivered enough cash to allow Duff and Phelps to proceed with the proposal to the club’s creditors. (sounds like it was touch and go)
Green will be given time to raise the £8.5m (so he doesnt even have the paltry amount being put into the pot to pay D&P...I mean the creditors)required for the CVA pot but he has now convinced Duff and Phelps the cash is there to keep the club in business throughout June.
In his confidential ‘Investor Presentation’ Green reveals his plan to buy the club through holding company Sevco 5088.
He will then become chief executive and says the club will be floated on the AIM stock market later this year when his group of investors stand to ‘double’ their money.
The brochure says: “Founding investors who put up the first £10,000,000 will receive 10,000,000 additional shares at a value of £1 per share on a pro rata basis effectively doubling their contributions.”
Green also stands to make a fortune as the brochure reveals he is “being incentivised by 10 per cent of the enlarged share capital of the holding company post completion”.
Duff and Phelps confirmed last night the CVA notice will go out this morning but, should that fail, Green outlined his plan B.
In the document it is stated “in the very unlikely event a CVA is not agreed by creditors” Sevco will pick up Ibrox and Murray Park at a knock down £5.5m.
It also describes ‘advantages’ to a Newco being banned from Europe for three years, including slashing the first-team wage bill from £18m to around £11m.(well the Bears can't say they have not been warned)
Newsnight Scotland gets a couple of financial 'experts' on who have a jolly old laugh at questions regarding the clear discrepancies and valiuations in the CVA but agree it's acceptance is a shoe in. The whole administration process at football clubs is showing to be a sham.
Did you see the lady almost laugh when she said offer could end up a negative p in the £ if tax case and 47 other unknown costs pile in....got the impression she thought CVA offer was a big steaming pile but could not out rightly say soQuote:

I think Rangers could have really scored an own goal here.
IIRC correctly the punishments available are suspension from competition or removal of membership of the SFAQuote:

Of course it ignores that this action, which going by the Scion case threatens the very existence of Scottish football will **** off all the other clubs, as we are already seeing suggestion of, and that if they annoy FIFA / UEFA enough, they will want to ensure they end up dead and stay dead...

Why would liquidation be the desired endgame if you can pick up the club for a pound? If Green pulls this off then he is some man.Quote:

There are now two "crimes" to be punished. The first one, the disrepute charge, has to be reconsidered. The second one is taking the case to Court.Quote:

Why do the physical assets belonging to RFC only seem destined to go into the hands of Green if the CVA is rejected?
:confused:
Because the Orange hordes refuse to accept a CVA isn't a total impossibility and hounded out the last guy who dared to suggest otherwise?Quote:

If the CVA is rejected, it's liquidation time.... and the liquidator would then dispose of the assets for as much as possible.
The 8.5p being bandied about is on the assumption that the BTC goes against them. If it doesn't, that amount will probably double.Quote:

Never in a million years can administration be seen as 'getting the best for the creditos'. It's a giant Legal .con.Quote:

No?
Isn't it Newco time after the failed CVA? And what assets? The players are free to go at that point, and the brick and mortar appears to exist in a dual universe where it is worth simultaneously hunners of millions and **** all. (Something to do with Quantum Mechanics, I think)Quote:
