Geoff Kilpatrick Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Since nostalgia seems to be making up for a lack of fixtures this weekend, let's list the tyre kickers / media whores who apparently have wanted to buy the club. I'll start with Jim Glass. Linked with buying out the club in the mid 90s and was going to invest ?9m. Never got beyond a splash in the super, soaraway Sun.

I seem to recall Jim Glass was part of the plan to take us to Millerhill, his company were to build the whole development. I'm sure John Hall's son Douglas was involved somewhere.

Fxxx the SPFL Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I made a provisional offer/gift of ?50 million to clear the debt and rebuild the main stand but the proviso was that i won the Euro millions back in 2011 when it was at ?102 million. I however kept this information quiet as i did not want the press to get hold of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
