The assets were transfered to a newco as part of the liquidation process. The original company is still being processed. The assets include the titles, history etc, that were tranfered to Sevco. These assets were given value as part of the liquidation process on transfer. Technically under company law I've read that as the transfer was intra vires, and never challanged, that is the legal basis for the transfer. That would make sense, but I've not dealt with company law on a regular basis to hang my hat on it. I do know insolvency law though. If value is asscribed to an intangable asset as part of the liquidation process, then without a seperate agreement or direction it is not seperated from the underlying asset. Thus it vests with the new company. Unless anyone can point out where this is contractory to the Insolvency Act 86, as amended, then Rangers are the same club. The only that vest with the 'oldco' are the debts and the sums paid for them. Edited May 18, 2020 by Stu101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sophistry to try and argue an issue while what you're doing is arguing another. Unless you're just randomly deciding to tell me this info apropros of nothing.

They were placed into liquidation. Important difference. The 'oldco' corporate structure still exists, in order to settle the debts. Let me know if you want me to cover off any other points here.

thplinth Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 So if old Rangers were not liquidated and still exist (as a hollowed out shell) who the hell is playing as Rangers in the SPL now?

Also as pointed out if Rangers exist in liquidation what is the thing that plays currently in the league?

Farcity Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Let's just stop the bickering. I've just come off the phone to the Plain English Society regarding this. Their recommendation is that we should ignore liquidation, termination etc and keep it simple. They suggest good old fashioned "deid" is the way ahead. So there you have it.

The question comes done to what the assets are, and how they are treated (tangable, intangable, etc). Again see my previous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu101 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just now, phart said: That's a lot of jargon. The question is if Rangers weren't liquidated then who is playing in the SPFL? Auctoritas nec veritas fecit legem springs to mind with this argument. Ok, I'll try to keep this as simple as possible. What formed Rangers was sold for a value to the newco. What was sold was assets- both tangable and intangable. At the point of sale you then have oldco and newco. Oldco is going through the liquidation process, and is using the money paid by newco to pay off the creditors. Once this process is complete, oldco will be liquidated. Had oldco been liquidated already, then no creditors could still be paid off. Newco now hold the assets, consisting of both the tangable (stadium, etc.) and the intangable (championships, etc), as money was paid for them by newco. These assets remain the same, as there was no split of them during the liquidation process. Apologies if this isnt clear. Best I can do trying to keep it clear and not go into pages.

How it works is the Liquidator sells the assets to the highest bidder. And the funds earned are then used to pay off as much of the existing debts as possible. So Rangers under the control of the liquidator sold off their assets. Now it cant sell them to itself can it. It had to be third party of some description.

Corrrect- the liquidator sold them to newco. The question is, what were the assets? The assets were Rangers. PS - I know how this works.

Indeed one might even say a facsimile was created. Which then bought the assets off original Rangers. That said anyone with the money could have bought Ibrox and theoretically demolished it and built a supermarket. Different assets could have been sold to different parties and scattered to the wind. However fortunately for you the Liquidator decided it would raise more money to sell them all together to Charles Green (man those were funny times). As for the liquidation I am guessing there is some outstanding legal issues waiting to be resolved. As soon as all the loose strings are tied up Original Rangers will formally be made extinct. The facsimile having taken its place. It was good bit of slight of hand, they changed the name of old Rangers to something like RFC 2012 and then renamed the new entity (Sevco) to something very similar to the Old Ranger's name. The old switcheroo! I guess it is a bit like if your wife died and the technology existed to make a clone to replace her. The question is, is she really your wife?

One is a legal construct designed to hold assets and liabilites, one is a physical entity. For you cloan annaolgy to work you would need two sets of assets- here we only have one (and most here would probably say thank god to that ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
