Charles Greens hold over the SFL&SPL

So Charles Green set up Kingsbridge Holdings, who offered financial services to footballers, in 2000.  In September Kingsbridge Holdings Plc announced that the acquisition of John Murray has been completed.

John Murray is a leading football focused independent financial adviser based near Glasgow whose clients include Craig Brown, the Scotland Manager, Christian Dailly, Blackburn Rovers & Scotland and also Jack McGinn, President of the Scottish Football Association. They are also the appointed pensions broker to the Scottish Football League and to the Scottish Premier League.

Charles Greens company were pensions brokers for the SFL and the SPL. 

Now Charles Green must have been privy to sensitive information, maybe tax loopholes, off shore accounts. Obviously the good people of the SFL and SPL wouldn't want this information made public.

"Your scratch my back and I'll scratch your back" springs to mind!

I'm not suggesting any wrong doing but it does beg the question.

Here is the link.

There is a connection between Kingsbridge and Octopus Investments who own/owned Ticketus.

Kingsbride Holdings were then reformed as PenMc PLC in 2004.

In 2007 a company called CBG Group offered to by PenMc and in 2008 PenMc became a subsidiary of CBG Group.

• CBG Group PLC main investor is Octopus Investments who own Ticketus.

• Charles Green was a director of Texas Holdings Limited who were the second largest investors in CBG Group.

• In this deal the Nominated Advisors and Brokers were Zeus Capital who are now at the helm of Ibrox.

• In this deal the Registrars were Capita who overseen the share issue at Ibrox.

 Here is a link to the document.

I have added some screen shots for your ease.




 



 

Who's really behind the Sevco Investors.

So Charles Green told everyone that he would make public who the investors in NewCo Rangers where, has he?

Basically he has brought together a bunch of Stockbrokers and Fund Management companies who will invest and receive some Tax relief. Or is that the only reason?

I would like to bring to your attention a piece that i read earlier on this year.

 http://www.moneymarketing.co.uk/investments/awd-and-sjp-caught-up-in-octopus-eis/rangers-saga/1046625.article

This piece describes how another 2 Investment companies also got burnt when the £27m vanished.

So the first company we will have a look at is AWD Chase de Vere

They are Independent Financial Advisers.

In the Money-marketing piece above an AWD spokesman says "the firm sold the EIS as a higher-risk offering, through different tranches of the same EIS, to a small number of clients." (Regarding investing in Ticketus)

So who were the clients?

If we look at the business relationships with AWD Chase De Vere there is clear evidence that they are working with some of Charles Greens Institutional Investors.

Below are links between AWD Chase De Vere who lost money in the Ticketus deal & Cazenove who recently invested in Charles Greens NewCo.

Below are links between AWD Chase De Vere who lost money in the Ticketus deal & Legal & General who recently invested in Charles Greens NewCo.

Link 6

Obvious working relationships in progress. I'll let you come to your own conclusions!





The second company that lost out when £27 big ones went 'a' missing are St James Place.

St James Place or SJP are described as a Wealth Management company.

In the Money-marketing piece above a St James’s Place spokesman says "the company sold the product to fewer than 50 clients, including partners, and has an exposure of less than £1m". SJP says it is continuing to monitor the situation closely. (Regarding investing in Ticketus)

Lets have a look at some of the business dealing SJP has had with recent investors in Charles Green NewCo.


Below are links between St James Place who lost out on the Ticketus deal and Artemis Investment Management LLP who are SJP investment advisers who recently invested in Charles Greens NewCo.

Link 7


The links below tells us who St James Place's partners are. Please note that their partners include recent investors, Insight Investment Management, Legal & General. Capita who overseen the share issue and Octopus Investments who own Ticketus.

Link 8


They are mentioned on SJP website also.

Link 9


So it certainly looks like the Institutional Investors are fronts for the three companies that lost out in the Ticketus deal but I'll leave it up to you to make up your own mind.


The losers in the Ticketus deal were Octopus Investments, AWD Chase De Vere and St James Place.

Each one of those companies is directly connected to 1,2,3 or even 4 of the companies involved in the investing and running of Charles Greens NewCo whether that be Zeus involvement with Octopus, Cazenoves involvement with AWD or Artemis involvement SJP.

These Billion pound companies don't become Billion pound companies by being nice or lenient when it comes to business. I suspect they know exactly what they are doing, they've probably had to do these things before. Once they have recouped their money they'll ditch the assets that they have left to the first bidder and you will not see them for dust.

Will Charles Green ever disclose who are behind the Institutional Investors?

Probably not.

Why?

Compliant media who won't ask the questions or question his answers.

Where there is money, there is corruption.

I then blogged about how Metro bank were funded by Octopus and that Newco Rangers were banking with Metro.

I then blogged about how Cenkos Securities, Capita Finance, Field Fisher Waterhouse (FFW) who all worked on behalf of Octopus were now the driving force behind the Newco Rangers share issue.

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.

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 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. Here is a screen shot. The shareholding breakdown can be seen on their website in the link below. www.merchanthousegroup.com 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. Allenby Capital on Merchant House Group website 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.

Octopus on Zeus accounts

So a major share holder in Now Co Rangers has been using Tax Avoidance schemes! Nothing new there.

The man in question is Richard Hughes of Zeus Capital. He has been a director or Secretary of 97 companies.

So is Richard Hughes another cover for Octopus Investments who own Ticketus?



Zeus Capital Report and Accounts


Part 16. Related Party Transactions.

It states Zeus are related to;

• Medusa Partners LLP ("Medusa")
• Vindon Healthcare PLC ("Vindon")

First we will look at Medusa.

Medusa is a partnership controlled by Richard Hughes.

Here is evidence that show Octopus are related to Medusa. 

http://markets.ft.com/Research//Markets/Tearsheets/Business-profile?s=DTE:LSE

This evidence clearly shows that Octopus have a shareholding in Medusa though a company called Datong PLC.

Now lets look at Vindon.

Richard Hughes is a Director of Vindon

Here is evidence that show Octopus are related to Vindon.

http://newpf.iii.co.uk/articles/articledisplay.jsp?article_id=7338199&section=Planning

This evidence clearly shows that Octopus took the hit for Vindon falling back. (in finances)

Vindon also uses an EBT scheme.

Both of these companies are named in Zeus Capitals Report and Accounts for 2011! 

Now we know Charles Green resigned from Nova Resources before he took control at Ibrox. Nova were a mining company and so are Medusa, Medusa Mining. Would Charles have met Richard through that? Yes. 

Charles Green and Richard Hughes has been sitting in meeting with each other since 1999.

http://www.miningorganizations.org/index.php/msia-minutes

What does this tell us.

Firstly it confirms and strengthens the connection between Zeus and Octopus.

Secondly, why would only these companies be on Zeus accounts when Hughes has been director or secretary of 95 other. Is it because Zeus are Nominated Advisors and Brokers for Octopus or is it because Octopus actually own Zeus.

I await my IPO prospectus with baited breath.
