Let me put it another way, not many knew the state of sevco or expected what happened would ever havce happened.Yet it did at a huge and very public club.The punters like us on this board are always the last to know.Crikey we dont even know all the names of those involved in Brabco( or so i understand).So anything, literally could be possible including the scenarios(albeit unlikely) you correctly mentioned above.

Clubs, businesses, companies etc. are all put on the market all the time. It's how they alert buyers to the sale of something and invite offers. If Brabco want to cut and run then a bidding war over the club is their ideal scenario for getting the highest price. Doing everything in private and not inviting offers from interested parties would be counter-productive in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas going to Neil Rankine with their tail between their legs asking if he wants his old club back is the best way for them to get the best price?

I never said they did!!!I reacted to someone on here saying they heard that Rankin had invested.Given the parties know each other its not unreasonable to assume they are in contact is it?Especially if there are monies still due.

I think it's entirely unreasonable to assume that the person who sold the club 10 years ago (as he could see making money on it was a no go) is now back in the frame to purchase the club (or even shares) again. I'm genuinely struggling to understand that logic, but I suppose we'll leave it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye i would go along with that but we dont know what the motives may be.IF and its a very big IF he did invest then there may be an agenda ,like i said, we the fans know nothing about. Question is, would we want him back or continue with the great incognita that is Brabco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been said he was there to watch the game and nothing more yet people seem intent on adding fuel to the conspiracy fire. If Rankine acquired shares we could find out about it quite easily, a full list of shareholders is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
