I'd rather know why yourself, based in Ayrshire, suddenly started posting around the time the Lapping bid hit the buffers. Co-incidence?

I'd think he was making a monumental and potentially catastrophic PR ****-up by persisting with this wall of silence, and hiding behind Nixon and Jenkins.
If it was him.

It was an overseas investor isn't it? i know technically scotland is a different country to england but the river esk hasn't acquired oceanic status last time I looked.
Any why would he need to spend this long "checking the books". Having been on the board at one point, he must pretty much know what assets the club has and doesn't have like eh?

I don't know anything about the man. Does anyone know his history and supposed wealth ?

I seem to remember AJ and JN asking him to put money in when he was on the board, his reaction was to leave can't see him wanting now to suddenly give any dosh to the two incompetents anytime soon.

He runs Edinburgh Woolen Mill. Lives in Edmond Castle near Brampton. Hes worth £750 million. So mega rich, but not technically a billionaire.
Hasn't Nixon been trying to get him on board for ages? I thought he wasn't interested?

Thought I heard he is partly based overseas now? Might be mixing him up with someone else.

Could be, but hey! Highly unlikely due to him being on the board previously.

He actually lives in Dubai, part of the year, so could be the 'overseas money'.

I thought this was the person most people thought it was? Not really seen or heard any other names I cannot believe there is a successful businessman who would give our current board any money to spend, unless it was BFH* *Bus Fare Home (Copyright Jim Bowen) My view is that there IS someone out there and once the validity and permanence of the Trust Vote was passed through very experienced Corporate Lawyers, they've jumped in to takeover. Whether the three amigos knew all along would be pure speculation.

Like any mega wealthy guy if PD was doing this he'd do it. He wouldn't do it partnership with the FunBoy three or other businessmen he didn't know from Adam or work through an agent.! He'd come in with control and get the **** on with it.
I'd say less than 1% chance of being true.
I'd not be that unhappy if it was, but it isn't!
