alexscottislegend 2,320 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 No I don't think it is dead. I believe we are seeing two interested parties playing out their attempt to buy the club via media spin. I'm confused now. Just read Leggat's blog and I can see reasons for the directors' caution; but who is the other 'interested' party? Whyte is one - is the other a possible management buy-out? If so, do they have the readies? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I can't imagine that the tax deal has anything to do with it unless something happened yesterday at the trial to frighten someone. As nothing has been reported on that I would doubt it very much. The tax deal has been there from day 1 why should it now all of a sudden be a problem. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'd assume no-one in the commitee is involved in any Plan B himself. I'd also assume that Dave King is the only other player in town and may want some more time to get his house in order. Of him - I think - we know that he has the money. In any case, I do assume that even if Whyte does not do his take-over now, it does not change anything for the immediate future of the club (till this summer that is). So any horror scenarios painted by press and rumour-mongers should receive a decent amount of flak. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm confused now. Just read Leggat's blog and I can see reasons for the directors' caution; but who is the other 'interested' party? Whyte is one - is the other a possible management buy-out? If so, do they have the readies? As posted early this morning, I think a possible management buy out is why we're seeing delays. However, I'm unsure as to the ethics of this given their closeness to the Whyte deal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are right. Just wish they'd realise the games they are playing are also playing with a lot of peoples hearts as well. sooner this is finalised one way or the other the better Ally must be dreading thought of more delays, how is he expected to plan ahead when we don't know what budget is/will be available 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannochsidebear 2,405 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It sounds to me like the board clinging on to power as long as they can, as I have heard that Whyte was going to clear out the board IN FULL post takeover. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see that being the reason though,if that's true then it's going to happen anyway,as far as I know the board can't stop the take over but only delay it???,am I correct??. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudrup11 0 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hasn't AJ already stated he will step down once a takeover is complete ? and McLelland is due to leave also it reports are to be believed so that would IMHO rule out them delaying to save their own jobs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
