He said that he emailed gerald krasner and was told the history would be kept.
They are going down this newco route
If you look here
http://www.companyrescue.co.uk/company-rescue/options/pre-packaged-administration you will see that rangers have pretty much followed these steps to a newco route
1. hire the administrators before hand to give financial advice. Paul clark was hired by craig whyte around novemeber to give financial advice
2. Make the business as selllable as possible. Unlike a normal administration where the administrator tries to cut cost by removing the big earners. Duff and phelps have kept them all onboard and even tried to add to it with the cousin signing. This was done so not to scare of any potential bidders having to reinvest in a depleted squad.
3. Advertise the sale. Well the administrators have been all around the world seeking potential bidders.
All its left now is for HMRC to reject the cva, and they will, forcing the administrators hand to go down the newco route. Its worth noting even though HMRC are the major creditor they can't stop this as long as there are receiving more than they would if the company was liquidated and the assets sold. See this case

This is why HMRC wanted there own administrator in place as craig whyte shafts them all the time, although i can see him been found guilty of trading while knowing the company was insolvent. He pretty much bought an insolvent company and was informed he needed to invest 5m of his money to make it solvent and didn't bother.
As for the big tax case doesn't matter as rangers had to shed that liability and HMRC threatend to take them through courts for years. There really was no alternative but a newco from the start.
