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.

    As a you are an ex-head I apologise, it was’nt that bad really most times I went home for Dinner, when my Mum wasn’t going to be in we got dinner money.

     

     

    Incredible how you could make it stretch out if you avoided the rhubarb and custard.

     

     

    Don’t know how I got away with it, had a Sister in the year above and one in the year below.

     

     

    Sounds like it’s a different family, my Aunty Sadie(may she RIP) had a daughter (my cousin) called Morag.

     

     

    Desertbhoy – what a treat that was compared to School dinners, one of the family was in my class, hence the margin fish suppers.

  7. FOLLOWING phenomenal demand from our Season Ticket holders our three-match UEFA Champions League packages are now all sold out.

     

     

    Supporters have once again shown their true commitment to the Club by snapping up their packages in record time for our forthcoming UEFA Champions League group matches against European giants Barcelona, AC Milan and Ajax.

     

     

    As was shown during last season’s thrilling European campaign, a full house at Celtic Park can lift our players to greater things, and Neil Lennon and the Bhoys will be looking forward to the full backing of our support as they attempt to replicate last year’s success.

     

     

    Our Group H campaign kicks off with a trip to the San Siro to face AC Milan on Wednesday, September 18 before our home tie against Barcelona on October 1.

     

     

    A Celtic spokesperson said: “The Club would like to thank our supporters who have responded magnificently and ensured that we´ll have three sell-out nights at Celtic Park.

     

     

    “Our supporters make a huge contribution and they´ll play an important role as we look forward to our games against Barcelona, AC Milan and Ajax.”

  11. Ipaddy,

     

     

    When I was back last year me, my bhoy and my brother went through for the 4-0 game, my brother was in the main stand with them and had to engage some in polite conversation, not sure I could have done it but the final score made it that bit easier. I expect more of the same today.

    Changed days indeed…remember those days sevconians when it was private jets, vineyards, country estates and not paying your tax!

  15. A very interesting piece in the Herald on stadium safety.

     

     

    It’s good journalism for them to investigate celtic’s claims that it was GCC that forced the closure of section 111. Would be interesting to know why the herald isn’t doing the same sort of journalism elsewhere.

     

     

    But back to the point. Despite trying to hide behind the threat of terrorism enough has been revealed to confirm that Celtic were not under orders from GCC and were acting on their own initiative. The club has therefore lied to us. It’s an absolute disgrace and utterly contemptible.

     

     

    Furthermore we have to ask why they lied and why they acted as they did. It’s seems a habit to me that the club thinks us so stupid as to swallow their lies. So did they lie about not passing personal information to the police? I will write to Celtic to ask them how they are protecting my personal information.

     

     

    It’s clear that Celtic are contemptuous of us as a support.

     

     

    We now must ask ourselves why we are allowing the victimisation of the GB. The herald in their report called them notorious. They are only notorious because they have been victimised. The police promised to smash the Marxist green brigade ina throw back to soviet Russia. A law was passed to outlaw them and us. And the club is clearly aiding and abetting that.

     

     

    If this doesn’t make you I angry then, as the song says, if you tolerate this then your children will be next.

  18. quick question for the Ayrshire bhoys – have you ever heard of anyone getting done with speeding with those average speed cameras on the A77

  19. Neganon2 – don’t disagree too much with the sentiment. I think the board are too cute to flat out lie, flexible with the truth is probably closer.

     

     

    In the name of fairness I think its true to say that the GB have earned no little notoriety from some of their banners, and would have done so regardless of any action by the club or authorities.

    Hi fellow Celtic Fans!

     

     

    I live down south and I used to think that “There are only 3 things I miss from Scotland; my family (Mum, Dad and 5 younger sisters), Celtic (of course) and gorgeous scenery.” (I don’t miss the weather! :-) )

     

     

    Now, every Saturday morning I take my daughter to her swimming lesson, and this gives me a chance to catch up on the latest CQN chit-chat. However, I now realise that I have to add a 4th item to my List: Square Sausage (Branston Pickle) on a well-fired brown roll; neither of which I can get down south!

     

     

    Please lads, gies a brek with the regular Saturday morning ‘skwerr sossidge’ debate. I am sitting here starving with no chance of eating such cullinery delights…

     

     

    Yours in Celtic,

    It’s amazing the fascination young kids have for sweeties and the lengths they’ll go to get them. When I was a pre-school kid (about 3 or 4) I can remember my Ma stopping in the street and chatting to a neighbour she met. The neighbour had her daughter with her who was the same age as me. The daughter was eating a Mars bar. My eyes nearly popped out of my head. I had never seen such a delicacy far less tasted it. Now when I was young, Mars bars were very expensive and my parents would never have dreamed of spending 6d or whatever on one of them as money was very tight.

     

     

    On my first day at High School, I spent my bus fare home on my first ever Mars bar. They had fascinated me since that momentous occasion when I first saw one. I have to say that I was really disappointed. I found it just too sweet and actually felt a bit sick after I had scoffed it. Not had very many since.

  23. Think we should go with a full-strength team early on, making subs if we get a healthy lead. Lustig/Matthews, I’ll concede, are our best pairing down the right at the moment, and Samaras should reclaim his position on the left. Ambrose and Van Dijk look very promising at CB (will pace be an issue, though?), allowing us to get a look at Ledley and Mulgrew at CM (yep, I know, Broonie will start).

     

     

    Think Lenny will differ from the following by starting Mulgrew at LB, and have Brown and Ledley at CM, otherwise would be surprised to see other changes:

    Remember the one Larsson scored a hattrick? Was kinda snowing I think. Must’ve been around 2001.

     

     

    Also what about the New Year’s Day (or 2nd jan) where we got two goals very late on. McManus got both I think! What a game that was.
