54andcounting 627 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Update:St Mirren rebuff takeover interest with link to RangersBy Chick Young Football Correspondent, BBC Scotland St Mirren have rejected an approach to take over the club by current director Ken McGeoch after it was made through Rangers' company secretary. And Buddies chairman Stewart Gilmour hopes that the community-based group led by Richard Atkinson is moving closer to firming up their takeover.Correspondence on behalf of McGeoch came from Gary Withey, who remains Rangers' company secretary after Craig Whyte's takeover of the Glasgow club.The link left Gilmour uncomfortable. We remain optimistic that a deal can be reached with the current board”Ken McGeochSt Mirren director"We've no proof that there was any proposed deal to take over St Mirren that would involve Rangers," he told BBC Scotland. "But the whole matter immediately raised concerns from the consortium about the future of St Mirren."We were alarmed to see the approach came from the company secretary at Rangers, as their lawyer."We realised that they were representing Ken McGeoch and Paul Davies to buy us out and that immediately raised questions for us."They had asked for a list of things before even making an offer, which we found a bit uncomfortable and strange."Withey, acting for Collyer Bristow, sent correspondence declaring interest in St MirrenThe approach came in January, the month before Whyte put Scottish Premier League rivals Rangers into administration.The Scottish Football Association has since ruled that the London-based businessman is not a fit and proper person to own a football club.However, Whyte is still insisting he remains and will remain Rangers' owner - and this week Sir David Murray said he regretted selling him the Ibrox club."I think the expression used this week by a man I respect highly is 'being duped' by somebody and we were trying to ensure that we were not duped by anyone who didn't have the right interests of St Mirren at heart," said Gilmour."To our knowledge, the deal had died a death."Yesterday afternoon, we received intimation for another London-based company, surprisingly enough, that they were going to be acting on behalf of them very shortly."Our agents in Glasgow have immediately responded, saying that the consortium does not believe it is in the long-term interests of St Mirren Football Club to be having any discussions and we don't wish to take any further the discussions with them."Use accessible player and disable flyout menusGilmour said that talks had intensified in the last 10 days with Atkinson and that it was hoped that the "fans' co-operative" could firm up its plans by the end of this month.However, businessman McGeogh insisted that his own bid was not yet dead."Collyer Bristow, a well-known and highly respected firm of solicitors, were recommended due to their specialised expertise and knowledge of football clubs," he told BBC Scotland."My colleague, Paul Davies, and I worked with them for a number of months to advise and oversee our prospective bid for St Mirren."This relationship ended by mutual consent in February and we are now being advised by another firm of solicitors."We remain optimistic that a deal can be reached with the current board that will benefit St Mirren and bring long-term stability to the club."

SoK 5 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I've been thinking for a long time that liquidation is the smart way out - rather than dragging on with a new buyer with a business plan where investment is minimal, then if the big tax bill comes through, administration again, then liquidation.I know it's not what we would want to see - better to have a real white (not Whyte) knight come charging in with oodles of cash and no requirement for any return (like Abramovic or an Oil Sheik), but I can't see any on the horizon.I can deal with the 'newco' situation if the alternative is years of paying off bits of the debts and suffering piss poor performance with substandard players.Marty - where does that quote come from (and don't say you came up with it yourself) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part? Strange story. The plot thickens. Do these McGeogh and Davies chaps have any known links with Whyte, or is it all just coincidence?

Yes, the website functionality text is more interesting than the speculative sensationalism of what is effectively a non-story in the wider scheme of things.

mps02 14 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Whyte owns Ibrox, Albion and Murray parkLiquidates 'Gers, buys St.MirrenMoves ST's to Ibrox, sells their new groundchanges name to Rangers 2012 or similardebts wiped outstill get the opportunity for European competition, no ban, no points deduction in SPLthat's a plan !Just a thought, but is this not the exact plan that Airdrie did to Clydebank a few years ago? Airdrie went bust, their director bought over Clydebank (at that time homeless), renamed them as Airdrie United and took their place in Division 2. In effect the plan would be the same for Rangers to liquidate, take over St Mirren and rename the Rangers 2012 (or whatever) sell St Mirren park then take their place in the league. No rules broken all that goes up in smoke is St Mirren, the debts and any sense of honour Rangers ever had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 So it's a load of shite then? Thought as much. Some Rangers fans really need to get a grip on themselves and be a wee bit less gullible ffs.I was only reporting the rumour - I never said if I believed it one way or another.It does seem that there is a link with personnel and there are direct quotes from Stewart Gilmour ("I didn't want to be 'duped' like a certain man I respect immensely") but there could well have been artistic licence added to the story.By the way:Bill Hicks...
