View Full Version : Why aren't Pinnacle accepting others offer?

Tony L has said that he has had offers from other groups to join up since signing the exclusivity agreement, which they have declined - saying they have their 5 yr plan.
The postive slant on this is that there is less likely to be divisions and Pinnacle have all the money they need.
Another option is that we are missing out of beneficial investment because the new owner wants it all to himself.
Hope its the first!

Maybe our new owner is so filthy rich he doesn't need anyone else's money?
Oh we can but hope :-)

Think of how much we had to put up with three major shareholders in Crouch, Wilde and Lowe. "I'll put in £2M if they do" etc. And how much investment did we see? None.
Having one, and only one owner is much more beneficial to a number of wannabees looking for their share of power.

maybe it was rupert/michael offering to invest 1o pound for a 50% share

Think of it the other way.... If they had accepted 3rd party offers, everyone on hear would be in hysterics about how Pinnacle don't have a pot to p*ss in / all the rumours scaremongering were in fact true / blah blah blah and how did Fry get duped into awarding exclusivity etc etc
Is this another one of those "can't do right for wrong threads"? It seems by saying "thanks but no thanks" is short-sighted and fool-hardy.

Just seems strange to suggest that not accepting offers ("missing out on beneficial investment") is therefore a bad thing.
That is not how it made me feel.
Then, I am not one for conspiracies

A case to answer if no realistic money is spent on a decent manager and players to get a play off spot this coming season.

To be fair I think they should turn down enquiries from MJ wanting to get in on the action ;)

100 photocopiers for a 10% stake in the club?

Yep. Fundamentally correct Stanley. Leadership starts with one ambition and one vision. Hope its based upon a team's success and not a dieing plc's this time.

No surprise there Duncan. We have always had people prepared to buy this club... shame it's taken another relegation before our owners have put the club up for sale. Still... hey ho.... times are good :)

Err, you mean it took a 2nd relegation to drag Lowe and Wilde screaming to the administrator prior to wrestling control from them surely? ;)

If you are on a wind up, I think you need to try again. Either that or you have been away for a very long time.
Sometimes it has felt as though my blood had been let. Still as you say "hey ho"

Maybe this is a sign that Pinnacle have enough 'moolah' without needing help from other individuals/consortiums?
If they were seen to be accepting offers from elsewhere, then people on here would ridicule them, saying that they clearly don't have enough funds to complete the deal etc etc.
I don't think it's neccesarily a bad thing that they are wanting to go it alone at all. With one owner and one Board, hopefully this would mean that the club can move forward, united as one. No more Boardroom squabbles! We've had more than our fair share in recent years.

If Pinnacle started adding funds from other bidders could not the creditors then turn round and ask for a higher bid as more funds are available?

I have to agree with the other poster. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Rupert Lowe or Michael Wilde wanted to regain a foothold at the club, it would be ridiculous if this were correct. The club is surely worth far more than this and this would be a huge mistake.
If these rumours about Lowe coming back with a significant share for such a pathetic amount of money are correct, I can see us getting relegated again pretty soon. We fans need to make it clear that this is not acceptable!

Could'nt agree more.
We have been beset by division and inertia because of it for far too long..
Unity at board level will provide the solid foundations for the club to move forward again.

They may (even at this stage) be looking at a sell-on of the club. Easier to sell-on when they want and at their terms, if they own the club 100%. Look at the mess Liverpool have got themselves into with their co-owners not even on speaking terms.

You just have tp look to Gordon Browns government to see the effects of a rudderless and mutinous ship.
