MisterC 12,269 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Heard a rumour today from someone assuring me it was a reliable source that Whyte is leaving us and is going to sell to Jim McColl who is going to settle the tax case. Why didnt McColl buy from Murray? Well the story is that Murray refused to sell as he does not like McColl, as McColl would go elsewhere for steel for his business than buy steel from Murray and this did not go down with Murray. Basically Whyte has been holding the fort in the interim until McColl comes riding to the rescue and it could be as early as the end of this month. How much truth (if any) there is to this I do not know and I am in my default position of believing nothing til we have something concrete. Thought would share this anyway, make of it what you will..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis 1,011 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The Jim McColl rumour has never went away. I'd love it to happen and its something that can never be ruled out. Did he not just sell his company lately? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Mustard 380 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I've heard Whyte was holding the fort for Murray until the tax case is settled, then he's coming back to pay the bill and lead us to greatness. Also supposedly from someone in the know.All of these rumours are just shite as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWTC 2,247 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I think im right in sayin the sale of the old weir pumps hasnt been finalised. It resulted in workers not got paid correctly before christmas. It might have changed since then, but thats the last i heard, i worked there once apon a time and still have a few contacts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Jim McColl has always been careful to be bi-partisan in much of his public life; I was told once he would never nail his colours to Rangers publicly in terms of running and heavily investing etc; I wonder now that he has sold his business interests that might changed. If he was to invest then one would wonder if it would be to resurrect the notion of Rangers being run by the supporters that he was discretely involved in some time ago.
