First things first, Think we should remain calm ..... nah feck that YEEESSSSSSSSS!

Ponty speaks wise words...!

To be expected , whilst they get their feet under the table to at least have some continuity for the next few weeks...

ya beauty!

13 mil would suggest SFC+ SMS given that the previous deal was for 15 mil but before we sold 2.7 mil of players....

steady you know who that will be...;-)

True... who knows, I just want a complete break from the past because it divides still to this day - from our lowly current position, we need unity of purpose, and we may well not agree with everything the swiss have planned, but at least we as fans can do our bit united on the future, not divided by the past...

Please!

True - but its a gut feeling because the SWISS are truely NEW - a proper fresh start, whereas whenever I hear seymore pierce I get nervous - after all they were responsible for trying to find a buyer before, Wildes share purchase and links with the Lowe regime....so tell me we should not be worried - sounds more of the same old crap to me.... not far enough removed from the past. Its not about the cash they pump in, but the way they manage and slow growth is something I would be just as happy with underpinned by a solid financial backer who thinks long term....

The broker - works/ed for Seymore Pierce - pals of Wilde/Lowe?

Just get a gut feeling that Swiss would bring a NEW fresh approach to blow away teh past and Harris and his seymore links etc is sort of smae old same old - possibley even names from the past involved?

Agree? Think the Swiss deal is the one for us - a new fresh start.... Harris to me seems more of the same of what we have had these last few years.....

Hope you are right - last thing we need really is Harris and possibly all that brings.. Come on Markus we are ready to welcome you to the fold! Herzlich Willcommon!

Feck ! ;-)

your wish is my command

Now we hear Hrarris wants to complain if not allowed to contact Fry... tosser, let Saints go to the best long term option which is not some two bit UK consortium ... WE WANT THE SWISS

Just hopre Harris keeps out of this and lets the Swiss do there thing....

I think thats the problem - Its pretty much certain that Pinnacle had prrof of funds - subject to due dilligence etc and gaining the license that they were first to the table and FRY was obliged therefore, to take them seriously - I still think we are OVER analysing this and OVER sensitive about because it fell through - it was just timing as the Swis arrived a little later - Fry cant be responsible for Pinnacles backers withdrawing, that was pinnacles responsibilty to ensure they had a back up plan etc. I think we are over analysing all this - we had our hopes built up thatPinnacle with MLT was osme sort of Dream package so teh disspointment is bound to cast doubt on teh Administrators, whereas its one of those things

Fair Play - just testing - Occam, Okram, Ocrams - same razor though ;-) I have corrected it just for you.

Ar its a Wonderful Life... its these stange almost oxymoronic (at a stretch) traits of football fans that makes us so unique ;-)

;-)

I doubt this has anything to do with money if its him... more like legal issues....

Indeed, all they have is two offers that match the 100mil sale price - no due dilligence or legals begun yet - and that could still take weeks or months to conclude....

Personally I am not qualified to judge an Administrator as to their competence as I know feck all about teh process or these serious financial issues... but my twopenneth worth... I think Di ck 'dastardly' Fry joining BT is a bit of a coincidence really, the fact that they announced it then withdrew it shows a dropped boll ock, and had there been any 'evil skullduggery' such dropped boll ox would never have happened - they are clever these evil masterminds dont forget. With respect to pinnacle and Fry... I think its a bit daft to speculate and insinuate and alledge rumour and gossip that somehow Fry 'favoured' Pinnacle - No one was saying this was wrong when smack bang in teh middle of the exclusivity period and everything looked on track - afterall teh Swiss bid seemed late and an unknown quantity - No we were all champing at the bit to see MLT return. For me its a case of paraphrasing Occam's razor - the simplest or most obvious is usually right and in our case it was a question of timing - Pinnacle was better than Whacko so they got the nod and the Swiss were too late - when the original backers of pinnacle looked at the running costs they would have to support in L1 for more than 1 or 2 years which was likely given the -10 NOT being overturned, they walked away as is their right - Pinnacle were left in a final desperate attempt to get teh FL to overturn the waiver so that the club could appeal the points and thus the backers might rerturn.... Meanwhile in a parallel universe Lowe, has gotten into bed with Bachelor and is determined to score some PR points against Fry to try and destablise the Swiss deal so that he can return in disguise.... the world shakes as we stand on the brink of armageddon...or maybe not...

I can see the conspiracy now... Lowe from his bunker in the Cotswolds has used Alien DNA (which he obtained from the blood of Chris Marsden) to take control of Bachelor is a strange sort of mind meld thought control thing... and is desperate to win the bidding war to gain his evil planned revenge on the Saints fans. As he sees the Swiss getting close he calls up his mates at the Mail to spread evil gossip of frustration and disillusionment - Undercover agent Alps who despite his protestations is in fact in league with this evil mastermind has been on to the boards to further disrupt the fans and spread bad vibes about Mr Fry - using the mind meld thought control thingy to cause further unrest so that we invade SMS take down the protective curtains in the boardroom so that Evil Lowe's mind waves can penetrate and exert their EVIL influence over My Fry so that he makes teh right EVIL choice... oh did I mention it was an EVIL scheme? ... well stranger things have happened at this club... Harry Rednapp leaving Portsmouth to take us down? Conspiracy theory? nah Consipracy FACT! I know its TRUE
