According to the official history on the club webpage:
In 1986, "a last day defeat at Shrewsbury sees Boro relegated to Division Three and the club goes into liquidation in July, suffering from massive debts. A consortium consisting of ICI, Scottish and Newcastle Breweries, Bulkhaul, and Henry Moszkowicz saves the club and forms Middlesbrough Football Club and Athletic Company (1986) Ltd."
