T...PA - I just can't see a Scottish consortium. There aren't that many Scots with the sort of money necessary to indulge and those who could don't fit the bill. A lot of it is 'old' money associated with land, the aristocracy or long-established Scottish family businesses which are far too conservative to get involved with the risk of professional football, in England. Most are still Scottish based and if they were interested in football, could make a bigger impression in Scotland. Sir Ian Wood (Oil) and Stewart Milne (House-builder) have been involved at Aberdeen for years. It wouldn't take a huge sum of money for them to get a regular second-place and actually challenge Celtic for a European place but their spending has been limited to running the club as a going concern. Ironically, Mohammed Al-Fayed is the only one I can think of whom has ever been involved and I think he has exhausted his interest. It's possible that Donald Muir has been asked by someone else to run the rule over Due Diligence and he has asked Macleish as an old friend who is out-of-work to look at the side and give him a considered opinion. If that's the case, I would expect Duchatelet's asset-valuation of players to come under close scrutiny.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191662363898215747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-80831208642146131572018-01-10T13:43:33.893+00:002018-01-10T13:43:33.893+00:00Love the changed pic at the top Dave.
