It seems Sevco were after the add-on for the sale of Charlie Adam - Green reckons they bought the right to it along with all the other stuff for £5.5m
A bit of detail about gratuitous alienation in there as well.

One for Cav and CWG?
So, what do our resident accountants etc make of this?

I have a Heads of Terms document for the sale and leaseback of Ibrox, Murray Park and the Albion Car Park.
The purchase price for all three assets is £7.285m. In addition to this there is a £6.55m loan provision with 15% interest payable monthly (£985.5k annually). Initial rent for all three properties is £1.8m. The 20-year lease provides for upwards-only reviews every five years by either 2% p.a. or RPI, whatever is greater (so assuming RPI is less than 2% each year, after five years, rent would be £1.987m).
Annual costs for rent and interest would be £2.785m. Current season ticket sales are reported to be approximately 36,000 with a standard adult price of £286, income net of vat will be around £8.5m.
Although the top line figure for both sale and loan is £13.835, “the initial payment will be less 3 years rent [£5.4m] to compensate for the lack of guarantee covering the rental payments”, so monies paid would be £8.435m as the first three years rent is deducted from the total.
Crucially, rent is to be securitised against ticket receipts and the new landlord is to be granted “first charge on the season tickets”, so, just as Craig Whyte planned with Rangers, Sports Direct FC would collect ticket money before passing it on to the security holder.
If the buyer attains planning permission for residential properties at Murray Park, a provision releases the seller from having to repay the £6.55m loan and cancels future interest payments. This speculative clause would release the club from punitive interest repayments but would require them to find a reasonably priced ash park to train on. Perhaps the Albion Car and Training Park.
“The tenant” will be able to buyback the stadium. In year one the price would be £10m (they would still owe the £6.55m loan). The set price increases by 12% p.a. for 10 years, so the year-10 price would be £27.7m. Thereafter “price will revert to Market Value but will not be less than £20m”. The market value of Celtic Park is around £50m. There is no buyback provision for Murray Park or the Albion Car Park.
The deal is on the table but will not be signed before the share issue, or if “the tenant” wins the Euromillions Jackpot (that’s not a euphemism for Champions League money, I mean the actual lottery), or finds some magic beans.
If true, I'd find it one of the less unexpected events in the whole saga. When Green's group took over I suspected they'd try to make their money by owning the property and renting it to the football club and that the multi-company Sevco structure was in part to facilitate this. I think he did something similar at Sheffield United.Quote:

Sale and rent back. Ha ha.
In commercial deals the tenant is responsible for maintenance.Quote:

I am sure it will be a full insuring and REPAIRING lease. :greengrinQuote:

Yip. Couldn't agree more. This wasn't an off-the-cuff remark as he was climbing into his car, or a post-match interview when the adrenaline was running. This was a pre-recorded interview released via the Rangers website. I note in Alex Thomson's blog that the QC gives McCoist some benefit of the doubt, suggesting that McCoist was perhaps unaware that plenty people at Sevco knew exactly who the panel members were. If the QC's remarks are to be taken at face value, he's being pretty magnanimous. Even if that is what actually happened, somebody at Rangers should have been smart enough to realise that McCoist was a bit out of the loop, and stopped the broadcast going out.Quote:

Misinformation and intimidation; two of the standard tools in use by this disgusting organisation, whether oldco or newco.
