Zappa 0 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'd imagine he's perhaps a more nominal bear than most of us but a bear he is and he was present at last years AGM. I'm told he wanted to invest in us but has been put off for now for a number of reasons and, given the state of the club, who can blame him. I notice Richard Wilson also said on Sportsound last night Hutchison was a Rangers fan. Is he really a 'billionaire' or is he a multi-millionaire himself with an even more minted wife due to her inheriting the Shaw family business and fortune? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Is he really a 'billionaire' or is he a multi-millionaire himself with an even more minted wife due to her inheriting the Shaw family business and fortune? Sorry missed this during the week. I don't know their exact net worth and who is the richer but I'm told the £300m part of their fortune doesn't represent it all. His wife would have inherited more cash when her father died so they are very, very comfortable. I notice now his investment into Motherwell is confirmed. He was also on the radio earler where he confirmed he's a bear and RFC shareholder but will dispose of his shares should the SFA request it. A big opportunity missed by our club's 'investment committee'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,246 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 So KIng had his money tied behind RSA tax walls, this chap got the 300m only last year ... all money "released" too late for the post-Whyte disaster. Add to that late-comers Kennedy and McColl and you start to wonder ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Start to wonder what ? whether they were serious bidders or not 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 I don't doubt several of the bidders were/are serious. I'm not so sure D&P were. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,246 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Start to wonder what ? ... what might have been? If Murray had sold the club for 20m to a King NOT under RSA tax investigation (and with all his money handy)? Had a Kennedy decided to step in in 2011? A McColl? This Motherwell chap had sold his shares 3 years earlier? You wonder where we would be these days.

We are where we are, like it or not Well, we have had to come to terms with it, no doubt about that. But still, with so many "rich", rather good guys about these days, you do wonder what might have been if that had been the case back then. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenzEK 0 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Noticed Alan McLeish of QTS now sponsoring League Cup on the back if his existing involvement with Kilmarnock. Another Rangers man as I understand it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
