Craig Whyte moves "upstairs" at Ibrox.

So is Craig Whyte back on the scene or had he never left?

Craig came onto the scene when he purchased David Murrays 85% shareholding in Rangers.

When he gained control of David Murrays shares his company summery looked like this.


TEAM DISCOUNTS PLC
THE RANGERS FC GROUP LIMITED
CAIRNWELL INVESTMENTS LIMITED
MERCHANT STRATEGIC RENEWAL PLC

MERCHANT TURNAROUND PLC

RFC 2012 P.L.C.

ZEMFILL PLC

LM LOGISTICS GROUP LTD

COUNTRYLINER GROUP LTD

MERCHANT HOUSE FINANCIAL SERVICES LIMITED

MERCHANT CORPORATE RECOVERY PLC

MERCHANT INTERACTIVE LTD


If we look at all the companies with word "Merchant" in them it would be safe to assume they are all connected. This can be seen in the company accounts for 2010.





Accounts for 2010

Here is a screen shot.









This screen shot of the accounts to 2010 shows that "Merchant House Group Plc" is connected to ""Merchant House Finance Limited" and connected to "Merchant Corporate Recovery PLC" "(MCR)", both owned by Craig Whyte and business partners, Mr James Dominic Rupert Holmes and Mr Martin Eberhardt.



In the accounts to 2010 it states that since 2006, "Merchant House Group Plc" have had a 49% shareholding in "Merchant House Finance Limited". A company that Craig Whyte was a director of.


In the accounts to 2010 it states that since January 5th 2010, "Merchant House Group Plc" have had a 29.9% shareholding in "Merchant Turnaround Plc". A company that Craig Whyte was a director of.

In the accounts to 2010 it states that since January 30th 2009, "Merchant House Group Plc" have had a 29% shareholding in "Merchant Corporate Recovery Plc". A company that Craig Whyte is still a director of.

The accounts also mention that "Merchant Turnaround Plc" and "Merchant Corporate Recovery Plc" are associated companies of "Merchant House Group Plc".



When Craig Whyte bought out David Murray in May 2011. The shares were owned by "Wavetower Limited" which was subsequently renamed "The Rangers FC Group Limited" which was wholly owned by "Liberty Capital".

Liberty Capital are mentioned in Merchant House Groups accounts to end 2011 as being significant shareholders in "Merchant House Group Plc" with a holding of 10.6% and no less than 499,255,464 shares.

The shareholding breakdown can be seen on their website in the link below.

Now lets turn our attention to Mr Imran Ahmed.

Imran founded and was Chief Executive of "Allenby Capital Limited". 



On the company records it states that Imran actually retired from Allenby. It also shows that Imran is still has the largest shareholding in Allenby with 36.89% of the shares.

 
Share dividend of Allenby at bottom of page.





On Allenbys accounts to April 2010 Imran Ahmed and a Mr NJ Naylor signed the accounts as directors.

Mr N J Naylor is still a now the Chief Executive of "Allenby Capital Limited".




Now we must look at a chain of events.

  • Sept 2011. Imran Ahmed leaves/retires from Allenby the company he founded.
  • Feb 2012. Imran contacts Charles about the possibility of buying Rangers
  • Feb 14th 2012 Craig Whyte puts Rangers into Administration.
  • May 13th 2012 From nowhere Charles Green has signed a deal and became preferred bidder.
  • June 6 2012. Charles Green appointed to assist day-to-day management.
  • July 31st 2012. Allenby Capital Limited plc appointed Nominated Advisors and Brokers for Merchant House Group.



The company Allenby Capital Limited that Imran Ahmed founded and is a major shareholder in are now Nominated Advisors and Brokers for Merchant House Group Plc. A company that owns 49% of "Merchant House Finance Limited" which Craig Whyte was a director of, 29.9% of "Merchant Turnaround Plc" which Craig Whyte was a director of and 29% of "Merchant Corporate Recovery Plc" which Craig Whyte is still a director of.

Below is the link to the announcement and a link to the Merchant house Group to clarify that Allenby are now working for MHG.

Merchant House Group Plc announce Allenby as NomAds and Brokers.





The plot thickens.



New Co Rangers fans have not asked the right questions and neither have they questioned the answers they have been given. They have took all the propaganda rubbish and tried to used it as 'oneupmanship' against the green half on the other side of the city.

David Murray said "for every fiver Celtic spend, we'll spent a tenner". He never spent a tenner! He spent the taxmans tenner. He was lying, the Rangers fans believed him.

David Murray told the Rangers fans he was going to build a super Casino. He was lying. The Rangers fans believed him.

The Rangers fans believed Craig Whyte was a Billionaire with wealth of the radar. He wasn't.

Craig Whyte to give Ally £5m a year for players. The Rangers fans believed him. He was lying.

Charles Green has 20 investors who have invested millions in Rangers. The Rangers fans are believing!

Charles Green has bought the Edminston House from David Murray, I'm told David Murray doesn't own the Edminston House to sell it. The Rangers fans are believing.

Charles Green "Ticketus and Craig Whyte are not involved". The Rangers fans believe him.

Can anyone see a pattern emerging?



Remember what Charles Green said when he first came in? "Cheques, Cash! I'll take anything. Then I'll give the money to Imran who'll put it in a bank account". Who's account?

Charles Green said "God gave me big hands so I can hold more money". And cover the eyes of the gullible.

And whilst Charles 'jack in the box' Green has been spouting ludicrous statements about £1.2 billion of TV revenue, 500 million fans and winning the Champions League, Whyte, Ahmed Stockbridge and Ticketus have been the puppet masters behind Mr Green.
