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.

  1. Owen. Where to start.

     

     

    Celtic have told us that they were acting on instruction and that the certificate was under threat. It’s clear today that the GCC have completely denied any part in this or that the safety certificate was under threat.

     

     

    Whether you want to make up FACTS or not its abundantly clear that the club have lied to us over this matter. It therefore follows that the club (along with the country) have an agenda to destroy the GB. The real question is WHY?

  2. TBJ Praying for Oscar Knox on

    Desertboy

     

     

    With adam on midfield and charlie on the bench.. were covered for defensive changes

  3. OK, so Lenny has an extra surprise in store – Izzy and Boerrigter on the left. Decdent enough, although derk and Izzy’s partnership dipped a bit in the Dundee Utd game.

     

     

    Very surprised not to see Sammi start on the left – a top player for us at Tynecastle (Stokes’s record there is patchy to say the least, but he’s developing a good partnership with Commons).

  4. NegAnon, Lighten up there is a match coming up, something to look forward to and ENJOY. If we can’t be happy and in a good mood in a morning like this what’s the point to it all.

     

     

    I’m not trying to be disrespectful to a fellow Tim but surely any negative stuff or complaining can wait until the game is over.

  5. Corkcelt as I said if you aren’t angry about the shenanigans around the GB then you have no soul.

     

     

    That won’t stop be enjoying the game tho!

  6. Time for quick shower then off to pub in hot and sunny marmaris for game.

     

     

    Is game on sky or bt sports? (might influence pub choice)

     

     

    Will check back after shower

  7. I love the GB, they offer real support and class when doing things well, but they do cause a few o.g’s.

     

     

    don’t drag Celtic’s name in the dirt and the GB will get more scope/ hopefully large standing area to support the team

  8. Scottish masons also wrote the American constitution where the President could be of any religion.

     

     

    Mind you they’ve only had one Tim and they shot him, not the Scottish masons, the Americans.

    Pretty sure The DUBLINER beside the main bus station will have it.

    Thanks for posting the game from April 68. God, we’d a good team then. Who was the commentator though?

     

     

    By the way today’s utterly useless fact is that my dad got his first car- a battleship grey mini- that day.

    Gave in and got BT Sports today. …roll on ko time and a good win with no injuries.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  12. NegAnon2,

     

    My last word on the subject. I’m a Green Brigade Supporter to the core and have taken a lot of issues surrounding their treatment very much to heart but I repeat at this moment my only focus is todays match. I’m only on here to share the experience with fellow Supporters as otherwise its just me and the Telly in a large empty house.

  14. 50 shades of green supports wee oscar and his family.h.h.wee mhan on

    Mon the hoops.

     

     

    One or 2 early goals for the bhoys today could see us run up a decent win. Hope the finish lad comes on to finish the wee huns off in the second half,also if we do start to run up a few the security guards better be on their toes.

    I lived in Brum for 12 years and used to watch Celtic games in the White Swan in Digbeth….just around from the Irish Centre; a few other traditional pubs locally….Black stuff on tap…..hope that’s of use.

     

    3-0 to the Good Ghuys.

    =======================

     

     

    Jump in a taxi, Witton Arms, Aston, will be a few tims in there. Everybodys forgetting that Man u are on at the same time, so hoops will not be on in most English bars.

    I guess it depends on one’s take of “dragging Celtics name in the dirt” Personally I do not think the GB ever have albeit i understand why certain section of Celtics following and more importantly the PLC do not like their Bolshie politics.

    I think the accounts will be published much later than before.

     

     

    SO Much more money to count this year its bound to take longer. :)

    Cousins of William 0 Celtic 2 1968.

     

     

    8 mins of our greatest team.

     

     

    Opens with a magic rendition of “we shall not be moved”.

     

     

    a quite fantastic headed goal by Jinky.

     

    bobby murdochs intelligent play, and a Lennox lob over the keeper.

     

     

    what a team.

    =================

     

     

    Magic. Wee Jimmy header thundering in off the cross bar following a quick free kick. Lennox great finish form a delicious long pass from Murdoch.

     

     

    However, if I was a mineshafter I’d point out the following

     

    – keeper flapping a crosses

     

    – gemmell caught in possession

     

    – Wallace and Lennox missing sitters one on one with keeper

     

    – Throw in straight to the opposition

     

     

    Not much changes in football.

     

     

    Now on to today’s game. We’re playing a team decimated by administration and we should knock at least 3 past them.

     

     

    But not much changes in football and strange things can happen.
