Frankie 8,150 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Apparently this will be front page news tomorrow... Craig Whyte the name - along with our old chum Ellis and possibly backed by the Russian fella Vladimir Antonov is the rumour. Craig Whyte is the principle shareholder of investment vehicle Liberty Capital and has apparently been closely involved in protracted negotiations with representatives of the club. His impressive financial background and turnaround specialist knowledge are seen as valuable virtues by Sir David Murray as the current owner looks to sell his 91% stake in the club. More to follow - keep an eye on the front pages tomorrow! Edited November 18, 2010 by Frankie 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,413 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Follow Follow understand that Craig Whyte is in pole position to buy the club from Sir David Murray and the bank. One of his companies, Tixway UK is registered in Bath Street, Glasgow, and is capitalised at �£2,001,000. The parent company is Liberty International Holdings Ltd with, according to accounts, a total net worth of �£773 Million. The deal will be for the current level of the debt (around �£30million) plus a payment to Sir David of �£6million - the same amount he paid for the club when he gained control over 20 years ago. Mr Whyte is a former pupil of Kelvinside Academy who currently resides in the refurbished Castle Grant on Speyside. He has many business interests including plant hire, corporate recovery, ticketing and commodity trading. Mr Whyte has had a corporate box at Ibrox for many years and splits his time between Monaco, Scotland and London. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,329 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 There's been strong rumours for a while that Ellis hadn't disappeared, so no surprise if he is involved. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
