Neck sticking out time here.
I am with Cav... I don't think the £5.5M is for the lock, stock and barrel. The CVA document clearly sets out the £5.5m payment as split between £200k for the exclusivity fee, and £5.3m for Intellectual Property Rights, Goodwill and Players' Contracts. There is no element allocated to Property.

Also, the fact that the deal has been done so quickly suggests that no property was involved. Conveyancing, especially of 3 different properties, one of which has Listed status, another of which has Planning restrictions, would take a lot longer.
The question has to be asked.
There is also a n/a beside property under the CVA scenario.
Today's events are potentially disastrous for Rangers. Civil war is likely between Green (who now holds the assets and has paid £5.5M for them) and "Rangers people" and their friends in the media. All of which makes it much more difficult to get things in place to put up a serious bid to get in a league next season.
The liquidation and newco scenarios mention a deduction of £600,000 due to SportScotland. This relates to the failure to adhere to the terms of a grant given for building Murray Park. Ergo I believe there must be a change in ownership of Murray Park from RFC (IA) to the newco.
Me neither mate. I get the bit that HMRC did not want a CVA because that would have prevented them going after the real culprits. But as biggest creditor they held all the cards anyway? So why agree to the £5.5m sale in the event of the CVA failing - it was always going to fail?
If that is the case, then the intangible assets, as I said above, are valued at £5.3m... and the fixed assets at £nil.
The notes to that statement talk about a "change of use" for Murray Park triggering the repayment to the SSC. If the football assets (ie the club) are now owned by another company, there is arguably a change of use. It is no longer used by that company (RFCIA) as a football training facility... it is used by another company (NewCo), and RFCIA merely own it, and allow NewCo to use it/lease it to them.
Charles Green says the newco have applied for a place in the SPL but surely there is no vacancy if the original Glasgow Rangers are still in the league?????????. Should the administrators not first resign from the SPL to create a vacancy for the new club? Obviously if they were to resign, or be expelled, they would quite rightly not be able to vote on their replacement???
The is how it will play out:
- Greeny boy will state he's in it for the long haul but has little or no dosh for working capital
- huns want their heroes in place so will refuse to buy season tickets
- Smith will offer Green less than 5 million to take a potentially disastrous investment off his hands as season ticket sales fail to materialise
- Walter will come riding in on the white charger to pick up the pieces.
However, if Green recognises this scenario quickly enough he can walk away quickly with a wee wedge for his troubles as a pay-off from Smith.
However, with a bit of luck, these shenanigans will take weeks to play out.

This Spanish site already has the Rangers in the 3rd division next season. Hope they are ahead of our media. :thumbsup:

STV are claiming that Green DOES on the Stadium and Training ground. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/r...s-memberships/
Rangers: Definitely not the smartest guys in the room.
The oldco will exist for some time yet - as CWG pointed out liquidations can take years to complete - it just won't have any assets. It will continue to be the SPL share owner until such time as a transfer is approved or it surrenders the share to the SPL board.
Rangers latestLIVE
Former manager Walter Smith leads a new bid to buy Rangers as the club decline to comment on speculation regarding manager Ally McCoist.
Who cares?, and anyway where's he getting all the money from?
It's too late. The guy Green already has bought the club.
Charles Green claimed that Ian Hart was a member of his consortium only for Ian Hart to flat out deny it and say he is actually supporting Walter Smith! Crazy!
All that were missing here is a seriously nasty hostile takeover bid. Has Spotty run out of puppets?
