But Wharton, who only returned to the boardroom last month after ousting former chairman Chris Holland, has dismissed the bid.
Graham Bean told Iron-Bru.net: "He has dismissed it out of hand.
"I think at the very least Steve Wharton should sit down with us and see what we have to say.
"For all he knows we could be the next Roman Abramovich, it is in the best interests of the club for him to listen to what we have to say.
"But we're not going to go away. We need fans to get behind us as we think we can really take the club forward"
A detailed set of plans have been drawn up should the group take over.
They include:
l
A new club shop at the front of Glanford Parkl A new Iron Bar
l Funding of a new supporters group, as well as office space at the ground
l A constitutional change to prevent one person owning a large sum of the club, probably setting a limit of approximately 15 per cent
l A review of the playing staff at all levels, with around £500,000 immediately available for team rebuilding
l Talking to Premiership clubs about a formal alliance, much like the informal arrangement with Rangers that brought Steve MacLean to the club
Bean insisted that a takeover would not automatically see Brian Laws sacked.
He also reponded to criticism that Colin Hendry, who he wanted to bring to the club as manager, is too inexperienced.
He added: "We will cross that bridge when we come to it.
"What we would say is that we'll ask the manager, whether that be Brian Laws or someone else, to review the playing staff.
"That is from the first team right down to the juniors, and we'll make money available to bring any players in that are needed.
"If we did bring in an inexperienced manager then we would bring in someone experienced as a mentor.
"We have got a few names in mind, it would be someone with management experience."
