Dont see that changing. Jim McColl stepped back that night as he realised that the other 4 requisitioners were a shambles and clueless. He has said that to 2 different acquaintances of mine. The 4 of them told the fans bare faced lies that night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that someone else I'm thinking of. No, you're right. He give us the benefit of lending an ear. I know him through business, as he is a significant supplier to us and met with him several times. KAI is right, he is a cunt. An arrogant cunt, who also doesn't do our bigotry as he would say it is. He really doesn't like talking Rangers. He is a money man and a serious tightwad and we have had several disputes with him chancing his arm commercially and fucked him off. Don't like the guy, but then again, if he were to put in serious up front cash, we aint in a position to turn it down, but for reputational reasons, I can't see him being associated with us and btw, he detests King.

Bighouse 1,012 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 If he wanted to buy the club he would have bought it. Ain't ever going to happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic8ball 27,901 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 from memory it must be close to 10yrs ago mcoll was the money behind a consortium wanting to take over from minty He wasn't named in the consortium but some dick in the media done some delving and leaked the name .mcoll pulled out as he wanted anonymity. reckon he didn't want to affect any tarrier related business Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterC 12,259 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Well he was certainly interested a few years back. Long time posters might remember a text that did the rounds that a highly respected mod on here whose info was usually spot on (I forget which mod) had said McColl was interested. Turns out it was correct but once he saw what a clusterfuck the books were and how deep in the shit we were he decided against it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly . There are obviously boundaries we cannot cross . But as far as JMcC is concerned , a Rangers fan , despite his yes connections , I'd go for in these trying times .

Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 From what ive heard Jim Mccoll doesn't spend his own money, thats partly how we got into this shambles in the first place. Can't believe im saying this but whats needed is a McCann type to come in and underwrite a proper share issue, only issue with that is if the appetite is there for another issue?

Jim McColl is a businessman first and foremost and a very successful one at that!!!! This week I watched the launch of a ship from the Ferguson ship yard with more to come from what was an ailing shipyard.......in front of my eyes in the last few years I have witnessed my football club severely ail with no money and poor teams!!!! 1 Biggest home loss to the tims 2 A 27yr home record to Aberdeen gone 3 The most humiliating result in Europe in our history 4 Hamilton winning at Ibrox for the first time in 90 odd years 5 Tonight losing to the bottom club who have been dire all season Do people on here genuinely believe all this would or still be happening if McColl had got in the doors to power? Admin...please move if you think necessary I would welcome MCcoll being involved - as you said though he wasn’t about to drop in millions. The reality is that to keep majority of our support onside, dave King’s bullshit flies better than anyone focusing on running the business well. we are our own worst enemy at times!
