chilledbear 16 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 For Tannochside Walter Smith will be handed a massive January cheque book if Scots billionaire Craig Whyte succeeds in his £30million bid to buy Rangers. The lifelong Light Blues fan is heading up a consortium that includes Andrew Ellis and emerged last night as the man who could restore the Ibrox club's fortunes on and off the pitch. Talks are at an advanced stage and if a deal is closed cash-strapped Smith will be able to strengthen the threadbare squad in his bid to capture three titles in a row. Smith is growing increasingly concerned about the limited number of players at his disposal as he tries to bow out on a high. But if 39-year-old Whyte rides to the rescue Rangers fans can look forward to a January signing spree - provided the deal is concluded quickly. And sources in London last night were adamant Whyte and his group would press home their interest. As a supporter, Whyte knows how important it is to strengthen the squad to stave off Celtic's challenge. The tycoon - Whyte became the youngest self-made Scottish millionaire in the 90s - is based in London and Grantown-on-Spey where he has been restoring Grant Castle at a cost of millions. Born and brought up in Motherwell, he lived in Monaco as his wealth started to increase but returned to Britain in 1997 and is eager to buy out Sir David Murray's majority interest and take Rangers forward. He is being backed by a group of wealthy individuals which includes London-based property developer Ellis - who tried earlier this year to launch a buyout bid of his own - but Whyte is the major player. He has always made his own decisions and so far the man who left school to pursue his dream of becoming an entrepreneur has been on the money. He started to make his fortune through a host of companies with interests in retail, construction, heavy plant hire, security services and industrial and office cleaning. And now Rangers fans will be hoping Whyte will succeed where Ellis previously failed. Ellis came close before but now he is involved with the billionaire it is believed Rangers' owner is so far happy with what the consortium have to offer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergatrude 0 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It should also be noted for people reading the article above that it was written in November 2010 by Traynor, before the takeover. Also interesting to note that when the takeover was complete, Traynor's opinion of Whyte changed almost instantly. Insider information? Or was he trying to help the deal go through (via increasing public opinion of him amongst Rangers fans) so as to have plenty to write about our club in the shit? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
