Weston Super Saint

Apparently you can, TWICE

Not really. They've paid an undisclosed amount. It might be more than £500k - but I doubt it! The fact is they DID pay money, and the club will have enough to continue trading for a further 21 days, and the wages will be paid. It was only a week ago that a 'source' [*cough* MJ *cough*] told the Echo that the administrator had waived the £500k non refundable deposit to enter exclusivity

Yes. There was a clear deadline when a club could go in to administration and have the points deducted last season. It wasn't sprung on anyone as a surprise, and for whatever reason, we announced admin AFTER that deadline.

It would be unfair to punish them this season for fielding an illegible player last season wouldn't it?

Nope nothing to suggest that... He also goes on to say that the only person with money pulled out because he didn't believe what Fry was saying. That to me suggests that perhaps Fry was saying one thing - and to be fair has been pretty consistent all along - and MJ was telling his wealthy backer something completely different [if this wealthy backer even existed in the first place!!]. He also says they have liquid assets that proved to be anything but liquid! The guy should write for Jackanory :shock:

Unfortunately not any more! I was very hesitant regarding Pinnacle and their mystery backer, but they DID put their money were their mouths are and paid up a non refundable deposit. For me that goes a long way to easing my fears

I disagree. The man is a clown, and the only thing he deserves is a spotlight in the big top! I'm guessing he's either never heard of or does not understand the phrase 'once bitten, twice shy'.... It comes as no surprise to me that another on of MJ's 'bids' has fallen at the 'putting your money where your mouth is stage', especially considering the secrecy surrounding his so called wealthy backer

Leave it as it is and have a Saints 'beaker' instead

Was that Marlon Brando?

I haven't been, and I didn't see Badboysaint when I wasn't there.

He did admit to being uneducated

Having dropped out of the sky from 30odd thousand feet, I doubt the life rafts will do much good to be fair. It always amazes me how much fuss they make about putting on seatbelts in aircraft too, as they probably wouldn't do much good plummeting into the earth at a couple of hundred knots

I wasn't in Salisbury or Bournemouth on Saturday, and didn't see BadboySaint. I wonder where he was? Maybe we could start our own version of Where's Wally???

Wow, it's like an echo :shock:

Thankfully we've got Wacko Jacko if all else fails

You say that with a little contempt, almost as though you had indeed been up to no good, but those silly billy's weren't smart enough to catch you

I agree with you, and have maintained all along that when something finally happens it will come 'out of the blue'.

Fingers crossed

As a licensed 'premises' they have every right to refuse you drinking alcohol on the premises that was not purchased on the premises - no matter what the ECB may or may not say...

I did ask Phil, but feel free to enlighten us all as to who exactly was the backer behind the MJ bid - I'm sure we can still do with a laugh

It's not just meaningless now is the whole point! It's meaningless all along. All this wink wink stuff is just boys comparing the size of their todgers! When something happens, we'll be informed by people who are involved, not by people who want to be involved because they have feck all else in their lives!

Pray tell, who WAS behind the MJ bid?

Wasn't that the Salz and Davies bid? With the MJ bid being there in case we couldn't afford the McDonalds bill?

LOL Everybody has to pretend they know something, but as we've found out - many. many, many times - no-one really knew anything after all!!!

Very true! Perhaps we should send Phil a nice big floppy hat to keep him out of the sun over there
