I think the real truth with Pinnacle (names and all) needs and will be told (and I am getting there) but Saints need to be taken over first.

Edelweiss anyone?

"willing to pay" or saying they were "willing to pay"? Subtle difference and one neither Matt or Leon checked up on.

I agree with you and Ottery - there are still far too many unanswered questions and inconsistencies regarding Pinnacle. Those 5 weeks wasted time could not be afforded and someone should take responsibility whether it be Fry or whoever. And I hope the next group that attempt to get MLT and LC onboard, that the pair of them do proper due diligence.

100% agree with this - sober reading but very wise.

I think the only person left who does take Lynam seriously is Matt - hence my concern.

So Matt should be completely absolved for allowing his name to be used to prop up a bunch of chancers? If he had done just a small piece of diligence 5 weeks of very precious time would not have been wasted, many fans hopes dashed and by now we might have proper new owners instead of the current mess. This was serious stuff Phil and Matt's endorsement, well-intentioned as it no doubt was, has caused untold grief to the fans, dreadful worry to the employees and left us on our knees. The man will always be a footballing legend but I am afraid he stuffed up big time and he could help the cause by giving us some plain answers on "these other issues" that supposedly wrecked the deal. And I have to tell you the nightmare is not yet over because Lynam sent me a text Tuesday evening saying Pinnacle might yet return, so it would be good for Matt to finally renounce them.

Of course he was weii-intentioned. Of course he was trying to do good but until he answers a few questions I reserve the right to be critical 1. Did he ever meet or even talk to Pinnacle's alleged backers? 2. Did he do any diligence on them before lending his name to their consortium? 3. What are the "other issues" he says the FL introduced (which they deny). IMO Pinnacle never had any backers (if they did they departed long before exclusivity) and 5 precious weeks have been lost because of their "skulduggery". Matt's presence was the one reason we all gave them the benefit of doubt but he now has to answer some questions. Surely that is not too much to ask. Incidentally I got a text from Lynam 36 hours ago insisting Pinnacle could still return to the table - this is the man Matt stil has faith in? Ye Gods!

I give up. If he ****ged your wife/boyfriend I presume you would still think that OK? No wonder we are where we are.

This message has blown me away in its stupidity - have another look at what you wrote (see below) "a reason why fans should never know too much about there (sic) club" Have a real think Jimmy, how much blind loyalty do you want to give, when will you say enough?

My greatest memory is MLT's last goal at the Dell v Arsenal but unfortunately that memory lost a bit of its sparkle on Saturday morning just gone.

But that means MLT sucks because he is still backing (Pinnacle's) TL's actions. You can't cherry pick here. Matt needs to shoulder some blame here. He was told over the wekend that Pinnacle were chancers and he chose to carry on oblivious.

Sorry mate you are wrong. If you allow your name to be used to promote something you should at least check out the product being promoted. Matt's (well-intentioned) actions gave Pinnacle status they never deserved and as a consequence the club is in crisis. If I was Matt I would be feeling very queasy.

Matt needs to share some blame - he had a duty to check out the people he was prepared to allow his name to be tied to. Sorry. Matt's patronage enabled Pinnacle to prolong the charade.

I got another text from Lynam saying Pinnacle may yet by the club yesterday (Monday) evening about 6. I think he needs to see someone.

No offence but I think it a good time to relinquish any hope Pinnacle will return. Just spotted Tony and Fulthorpe on Paul Allen's yacht sailing out of the Solent. At the helm Tommac. Michael Wilde is serving the drinks.

There are a lot of lunatics on the fringe of football attracted by the surplus of cash. Here we go Marc Jackson, Jonathan Fulthorpe, Tommac, Tony Lynam - I could go on. Look at the publicity Wacko Jacko has generated - his photo all over the local media and tv etc. He is now a legend in his own mind and I daresay very satisfied with his involvement as is Tony "we will complete" Lynam. Just a shame that someone as great as MLT has been swept into the cesspit and is now digging himself a bigger hole by misplaced allegiance to Lynam.

Getting warm

Trouble is I think Matt still thinks Lynam is legit and believes what he is told (ie it was the FL's fault). Be interesting to hear the FL side of things.

Like I posted before - don't know what good it will do now Lynam has been outed but yes when the time is right. Hopefully someone will step forward even at this late stage - all I am worried about now is the club's future.

No it didn't - I was trying to flush Lynam out and it worked inasmuch he rang me and told me he was calling the police blah blah blah. However if the email he sent Fry at the end of April appears to be non genuine then a whole new can of worms opens for Lynam. I have been asked to sit on the e mail a little longer by someone who I respect and I will do that but afterwards I can re-post. Mind you the damage is now done - I think we all accept Pinnacle to be a sham so what I proove won't help SFC anymore.

Good question. He probably went to the same school as Wacko Jacko and Tommac. The football fringes are full of chancers.

Yea but Lynam and Matt knew about all the conditions when they made their "we will sign the deal" statements on Saturday. I spoke to both on Saturday and they said the same to me. IMO Lynam is wriggling out of this using the FL and as for Matt, well i don't know how much he knew tbh but on Saturday morning he rang me after i leaked something on here and said the deal was all tied up and my post could ruin it so could i take it down which I did. He told me it was just about settled and he had that morning persuaded the backers to agree to the FL demands. So what Lynam and Matt are now saying is not making sense. Not having a go at Matt here because I think he believes TL but he has got to realise he got into bed with a chancer and should distance himself quickly before the hole he digs gets any bigger. I had a "full and frank" exchange with both men on Saturday and Lynam was still sending me aggressive texts right up to 11:30 Sunday night. When it is right I will post the e mail etc and the full story on Pinnacle but suffice to say I don't think there was a cat in hell's chance of them being serious and Fry and Co have been stitched up.

The FL excuse is a red herring. Matt said on Saturday to me personally and on SSN that the Pinnacle principles accepted the league's position and it would be signed off on Monday/Tuesday. Somebody was lying to Matt and that person was Lynam - he never had serious backers and he duped the gullible Matt all along. I would be interested in hearing the FL's story but I hope it doesn't leave matt with egg on his face. If I was him I would distance myself from lynam quickly and spill the beans.

Lynam is a fraud and he sucked a naive MLT in. He had no backers. Lynam = Jackson.
