TRFC submit incomplete Annual Return

1075

Companies House published the long overdue Annual Return for The Rangers Football Club Ltd (previously Sevco Scotland Ltd) today.  Although only received by Companies House yesterday (12 Sep 13) it was dated 29th May 2013, however, the submission was incomplete.

A company is required to detail all their shareholders since their previous Annual Return (or as in this instance, since formation).  Companies House say the Annual Return must detail “the name of every shareholder (or joint-shareholders) who has ceased to be a shareholder since the made-up date of the previous annual return (or in the case of a first return, since the incorporation of the company)”.

The only shareholder detailed on this Annual Return is Rangers International Football Club PLC (RIFC PLC).  RIFC PLC was not formed until 16 November 2012, nearly four months after Sevco Scotland Ltd was formed, so could not have been a founding shareholder.

And there’s more…….

The Rangers Football Club Ltd issued a Statement of Capital to Companies House, dated 31 October 2012, showing the same number of shares in issue as this Annual Return (33,415,200), some two weeks before Rangers International was formed.  The Statement of Capital was submitted by Caroline Nicholls of Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, who should be in a position to assist the directors.

I’d never really given any consideration to who owned Sevco Scotland Ltd  prior to the shares being consumed by Rangers International, but this omission is curious.  The story will move on now with auditors Deloittes taking centre stage.  They have plenty on their plate prior to signing off the PLC’s accounts so may be happy to turn a blind eye to the reporting requirements of a subsidiary company.  Companies House already have an active issue over submissions for Sevco 5088 Ltd, it remains to be seen whether this one passes below the radar.

This is all so unnecessary as I am sure the correct information would be perfectly appropriate and in good order.

Can you imagine what we would be doing if our ‘club’ was being run in this manner?  This story is being played out while all those who should be asking questions are being distracted by a player betting against his own club!

In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter if Ian Black hedges against himself, or what embarrassingly light punishment he receives.  The real story is so much bigger, it is being written in large type, visible from the moon landings, but the football authorities appear happy to stand back and let events take their course.

No looks of surprise next time around – from anyone.

    Read back from the top of this page and just about to type a word that, so far, has appeared just the once – excited that in a few hours I get the privilege to yet again cheer on CELTIC to victory.

     

     

    Jobo

  10. Tauranga - Keep hope in your heart wee Oscar and family on

    BT definetely gonnae make a wee slab of square tomorrow. Just got a pound of minced pork to try for a change. Burnin the roll is always problematic.

     

     

    Celtic 4 Jam tarts 0. wee tip just for Mr Black. I have to say still waiting for a purple , orange and pink to appear in series three of Zombieland. Great comedy.

     

     

    Like Neil Lennons public notice about getting it right in the SPHell if you want the glory of the Champions League. Only champions need apply. Hail hail

  11. …must be bkfst time at home… Who’s cookin’ the skwerr, black pud, tattie scones, beans, mushrooms, fried breed and tomatoes??

     

     

    …..oh, forgot the poached eggs.. I’m on a diet!!

  13. On Wednesday 28th August, the day CELTIC played SK, I was in a wee cafe in Helensburgh and had a roll and square sausage. It was the best square sausage I had tasted for a very long time. It was to be a good start to a day that was going to develop into a most excellent day.

     

     

    Aff oot.

  14. Ohits… Will be about another month for me…. An ah’m just visualising first meal… No matter time of day.

  15. Wee bit cloudy and damp underfoot in aul Chilterns, but setting out to be a good day.

     

     

    Looks like we’ll get a looksee at some new bhoys, Lenny not holding anything back for Hearts.

     

     

    A good quality performance to set us up for the San Siro Will be great but we are up against a hungry young Hearts team.

  16. iPaddy McCourt Supports Wee Oscar on

    Morning Celts,

     

     

    In a bit of a quandary here. I’ve got a ticket for the Wheatfield Stand at Swinecastle today. I bought it off their website when they went on sale around the time they went into administration and desperate for cash. I actually thought ‘ach, I’ll buy a ticket and give them some money, I can just go and sit quietly and take in the game when it comes around’. I live in Edinburgh and it’s only a 30 minute walk.

     

     

    Now I’m not so sure. The atmosphere is bound to be pretty charged and if one of their cloggers injures one of our players or if we score a screamer I don’t know if I’d be able to contain myself. Don’t think I could next to or near some idiot giving abuse to our manager either.

     

     

    Anyone got a spare for the Celtic end???

    This quote is a belter. Selling the assets is for their own good. lol!

     

     

    “Let me say to every single fan: We will not be deterred.

     

     

    “We will continue our rebuilding and even though our support have had to deal with scaremongering of the worst kind, they will, in time, see that everything the board are doing is for the good of Rangers.”
