the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 their are rules about what can be said. but they will be speaking to the shareholders and the shareholders won't keep cretins in charge. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I think the withdrawal of Blin also heralds the withdrawal of McColl although he may not shout it from the roof tops. More likely he will just let the AGM run its course and fade away quietly into the background ... again. Walking away from this would be embarrassing for Jim McColl and I doubt very much if he's a quitter, so I can't see him walking or fading away. He may do so temporarily if the current board are re-elected at the AGM, but I'd like to think that he wouldn't give up after losing one battle and would find a way to win the war, even if it meant him having to buy a majority shareholding. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave up on that bid Walter Smith fronted last June pretty quickly 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 0 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 it failed immediately in fairness. where else do you go after that. Well after making a song and dance about it they made one bid offering a very small profit (not including legal fees etc) and totally gave up once it failed. I realise that isn't the same as what's going on now but I think you can get my point. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 they made a counter offer to the administrators that was immediately rejected. are you thinking of kennedys offer of a ten% profit. that offer was a godsend by the way it meant we couldn't really go into admin again immediately and as we now know it was a definite possibility. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amms 0 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 He gave up on that bid Walter Smith fronted last June pretty quickly Surely if he's still involved in 'takeover' attempts 14 months later he hasn't given up? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 i think green tried to draw out the mccoll bid by asking him for cash for 49% iirc but green is good at that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchorman 0 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 He gave up on that bid Walter Smith fronted last June pretty quickly He also ran for the hills when 'outed' as the underwriter for a fans takeover (seems like many years ago now. A sign of the tedium of this saga I think). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to take a guess that McColl hasn't been working on this for 14 months 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
