R.R.FC Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/sport/football/raith-rovers-takeover-bid-business-29421673 Some more information on the proposed takeover. Described as a ‘local Fife consortium’ and a mix of business and football people. Individuals within the group have links with another SPFL club, presumably these are the ‘football people’ rather than the business people having a stake in another club. They are hoping to accelerate things over the coming weeks if greenlighted by Sim. Looking to buy out Sim’s controlling stake and Sim is keen to be some level of shareholding within the club.

Always next quarter Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Really shows how wafer thin "journalism" is. An absolute non story on big John and hinting at the Kelty consortium that was the talk of the Novar 2 months ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 So what happened to the other consortium that was supposed to be in advanced talks to takeover the club, or was that just another smoke and mirrors story 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like SirJimmy, I read it as a “new” consortium in talks now, the old group having dropped out. The key phrase was have opened talks, which suggests recently…but who knows. 3 hours ago, Always next quarter said: Really shows how wafer thin "journalism" is.

SirJimmyofNic Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 From Scottish consortium to a Fife consortium who are involved with Kelty Hearts, am I wrong in thinking that individuals who run another club cant own or run another club in the same country, or does that not apply in Scotland, are they then gonna pull the plug on Kelty ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 On the contrary, if the club mentioned above in the thread is indeed the link, leak away... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
