The top two stories ref Sallys salary have different share launch prices. Same article writer but one says 70p and the other says 90p.

I'm fairly sure the issue price was 70p, it reached a high of 91p in initial trading, and has been dropping like a stone ever since.

A relative who works in HMRC tells me that Hector is looking VERY closely at the situation at Ibrox. Could be interesting.

 

Why??

 

Not sure why HMRC would be looking around just yet. I see no indication they are not meeting their tax liabilities todate.

It was Richard Hughes of Zeus who sold 2.2M shares yesterday. He was one of the guys who only paid ?0.01p for his shares.

 

There is no indication on who has bought them as yet

 

http://www.londonsto...mentId=11834364

 

Which works out as a profit of ?484000, I think, if he sold them at 23 p per share?

 

Spivtastic stuff.

Is Zeus capital not some of the people behind CW or is it Green???? even if not they bought for 1p sold for 24p, not a bad shout if somebody is willing to buy, but it will be interesting to see who? Right now I cant see where they go unless they cut wages, but its at the director level that needs addressed not just playing staff, but will Fat Sally ever get a war chest? Looks also like they are hiding behind the couch when the door bell rings in case its Hector....watch this space. Also watch for Admin v2 but Ibrox will end up in separate ownership, so caveat emptor when going for a CVA next time? mind you if the next Admin also has Hector as the biggest creditor again, then they will never get a CVA, if however its not then it would be a good time for fans ownership. in either case we need to prepare next year to take advantage of any weakness

Closer to 550k, not a bad regurn on a 22k investment eh..

 

He made a lot more than ?550k.

 

If you go back to the original Asset purchase deal, it was Zeus (RH) who underwrote a loan that was key to the deal.

 

From TRFC Board minutes of 31/10/12

9.1 It was noted that an undertaking of ?2,000.000 was provided by Zeus capital to the Administrators of RFC 2012 plc on 13 June 2012 to ensure the Company complied with the obligations under the Offer Letter (the ?Zeus Undertaking?). In addition Zeus Capital Limited provided a loan facility on 12 June 2012 to the Company of ?590,000 to enable the Company to pay the consideration due under the APA (the ?Loan Facility?). The terms of the loan facility were agreed orally but not documented and with funds being advanced with an arrangement fee of ?50,000 per week).

9.2 In consideration for the provision of the Zeus Undertaking, the Company agreed on 13 June 2012 to the allotment of 2,200,000 new ordinary shares at a placing price of ?0.01 per ordinary share which were subscribed for and paid for in cash (the 2Undertaking Consideration Shares?). The Company produced to the meeting a board resolution from Zeus Capital Limited dated 17 October 2012 confirming that the Zeus Undertaking had been underwritten by Richard Hughes personally and authorising Zeus Capital Limited to make the necessary arrangements with the Company. The Company reported that it had received instructions by email from Zeus Capital Limited dated 17 October 2012 to issue the Undertaking Consideration Shares to Richard Hughes.

9.3 It was acknowledged that the Zeus Undertaking was released in full by the Administrators of RFC 2012 plc following completion of the APA and that the balance of the Loan Facility together with the arrangement fee had been repaid in full on 14 August 2012.

 

So we have Richard Hughes personally underwriting a loan facility of ?590,000 on 12th June, which was repaid in full on 14th August, along with an arrangement fee of ?50,000 a week. Nine weeks at ?50k gave him a nice little earner of ?450,000. And all that was achieved with an oral agreement. The ?50k a week return equates to a Wonga like interest rate of 441% per annum.

Have they dropped anymore or are they still hovering around 23.5p.

 

No. The price shot back up yesterday pm (probably off the back of there being a buyer for the Richard Hughes shares). Now trading at 28.5p mid price.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but you quote the company name APPLEBY in your post above, but the last link quotes Imran Ahmad starting up ALLENBY. Are they one and another?

I made a mistake in stating that Ahmad set up the Appleby Group. However, the linked blog makes the connection between the two clearer. HB Markets PLC and Appleby Trust Jersey are/were(?) two main shareholders of Allenby Capital which was Ahmad's company.

 

All these people appear to swim in the same pond and the names keep recurring as they do their wheeling and dealing.

Shanks said no

Apologies if already covered, what effect would Admin 2 have? Assuming they were in/out before the season ended, would they still be eligible for promotion and with a clean slate next season in the Championship? Or is there a ruling that Administration bars you from promotion?

 

if its the former I would expect the spivs to press the admin button forthwith.

It will be Admin 1 for Sevco. They can still get promoted. They will no longer own Ibronx though.

Administration part 2 is their easiest and cheapest way to shed 20 players from the 50 odd they currently have.

 

Administration may be the only option they have to try to stem their losses and avoid liquidation.

Yes he was the seller.

 

From the Herald -

 

 

Richard Hughes, the co-founder of Zeus Capital, which was at the centre of former chief executive Charles Green's takeover in 2012, is believed to have paid 1p each for the shares.

 

But he is thought to have sold his stake in Rangers International Football Club on Tuesday when some shares were being traded at 24p.

 

The deal came on the same day that Guernsey-based Damille Investments II Limited bought two million shares in the club, giving it a 3% stake.

Personally think all this talk of Admin is premature. They still have a transfer window to sell players which will cut the wage bill and bring in funds.

 

I admit that they have a lot if average players on good wages that might be hard to move on as I don't think other clubs will match their current wages. Mind you players will be reminded that if they don't move on they might be asked to take a pay cut later.

Those who invested in the initial consortium who actually bought the assets of the club in June 2012 were rewarded with shares at 1p, as were a few other key employees such as Super Salary.

 

The 70p was what was paid by investors in the IPO in December 2012. It is those who have lost most of the value of their investment,

Or anyone daft enough to have bought when they topped out at just over 90p.

Rangers players refuse to take a 15% wage cut according to STV

 

http://sport.stv.tv/...t-to-cut-costs/

it maybe the cynic in me but, i think that story was fed (along with aldis finest frozen lamb) to them to put pressure on the players to take the wage cut as they might think about their "windaes bein tanned in"

Not taking pay cut may suggest there are rumours of impending doom within Ibrox.

 

Even the players think they need to milk all they can before the admin axe swings.

And a late share trade has appeared in today's list, although dated 14th Jan.

 

14-Jan-1410:08:01 20.50 2,200,000 Sell* 27.00 28.50451.00k

 

I'm pretty sure that this relates to the Richard Hughes sale, but the price achieved was only 20.5p a share.
