mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Well not literally as it was safe to begin with.Just wanting to reassure people again on our continuance of history from a legal perspective.The OldCo will be liquidated, its more or less gone. There is no way that we can claim the history of the company is continuing.However, a business is different from a company.Rangers FC is the 'business' that was contained in our 'company'.A business is an 'economic entity' in its own right. It does not have a company number (as its not a company), but this still does not matter.What Green performed when the CVA failed was a 'Business and Asset Purchase'.He bought Rangers FC.This then opened up the opportunity for a TUPE of staff. This is where our hero, McCulloch comes in. Now what is the definition of a TUPE?"In the broadest of terms, TUPE protects employees’ jobs when the ownership of a business changes"http://www.bishopslaw.co.uk/site/commercial/employment/tupe/So we have established that the 'business' RFC has changed ownership.Secondly, what else is useful in this document?"The regulations provide that a relevant TUPE transfer are defined as 'a transfer of an undertaking, business or part of an undertaking or business situated immediately before the transfer in the United Kingdom to another person where there is a transfer of an economic entity which retains its identity.'"Boom there you go, the entity retains its identity.McCulloch's selfless act of TUPE'ing over to us has legally proven our history is safe.

Is there anything that man cant do?Outstanding! but can I ask a question which is gonna get me bitchslapped on here (it would make more sense to ask the cunts at work instead of putting this out there to the masses), but why Jig? Where does the nickname come from because until I joined the site I had never heard this before? The amount of times I've read the name Jig is making me feel very silly but I just cant work it out. Please (oh fuck! gulp) give a reasonable response and have mercy on a fellow bear. First post to give the shifty eyes is a jobby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I was never a massive fan of McCulloch but I have nothing but praise for him (and the rest). I'd never dounbted he was one of us but his name will go down alongside that of the greatest to have ever represented us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGers93 388 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I honestly love Lee McCulloch more than any other player ever right now the guy is a proper legend of our club and rightly so after his selfless acts over the last few months.
