Can someone please explain, if Tony Lynam was / is the fantasist that a number of people (Including credible posters) have claimed for some time, that he is, what did he ever stand to get out of it? With costs getting somewhere close to a million, (Ok that has only come from TL) I can’t believe that Leon stumped up the whole amount, in fact I’d stake my house on it. Pure guess - he paid for the money required for the Ajax (Ted Bates Memorial game) Someone is out of pocket to the tune of half a million and you don’t do that for your 15 minutes of fame. What ever way you dress this up, I just can’t see how there was ever anything to gain by playing Walter Mitty. They had chances to walk away with what would have been fairly credible reasons, a long time before now and on the Friday that the exclusivity ended Fry himself said the funds were in place and it was just down to the legal issues with FL. Additionally I can’t believe the FL would have entered such lengthy discussions without being satisfied, if resolved, that Pinnacle were good for the money I’m not saying he isn’t the fantasist that others would have us believe, but if that is true - WHY?

Espeacially based on Lynams latest quote; "I remain the enternal optomist"

Tony, Tony where art thou Tony

I think you mean "B" team Hatch

The strange timing of player sales, might point to the breaking up of assets as there is now cash to pay administrator with leftovers for the creditors

Hoddle + MLT = ********

Which bit exactly in that article would appear that its all over for Pinnacle? I'm not saying that won't happen, but from that article..... i must be missing something

There are lots of things that don't add up in all of this and no doubt it will come in time, but a couple of things that keep me optomistic. The whole 10 point issue and the problem with the license, gave Pinnacle a half credible exit if they wanted it. They didn't. The MLT interview today was upbeat and optomistic, if anything had changed he could start to play things down.

He hasn't logged in since last week

Hours before a supposed takeover and the club sell two of their main assets? The timing is bizarre, Unless this has been agreed with Pinnacle, but would they really want to sell two of their better players? Is the club worth as much without these two players - obviously not. May be i'm reading to much into it, but strikes me as very odd, unless the Swiss need more time and the money bought in buys them that

Unfortuneately that would be the logical conclusion. With the deal due to be completed supposedly within hours, unless this has been agreed with Pinnacle, it seems totally bizarre. It potentially buys the swiss some time, but if Pinnacle did not agree this, then they are not going to pay the same amount as they were before, so at best, it's back round the negociation table again. From the press reports and MLT's interview today, i was feeling quite optomistic.......... until this news

You are

**** off

Farmer if you were a betting man, what odds for the deal still going through

+1.

Do they have a priory in france

Cheers Nick that made me smile

Do you think we could get Ronaldo to apologise for the wink? Otherwise im not so sure it would be the right move.................. oh and Paul allen for vista

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... what about the 7 figure sum they would lose

Off on a tangent here; Is the fact that he represents or fronts up a number of unknown people anything to do with some of the issues with the FL

His exact words nick were; "within days if not hours"

His words were; "The deal could be done in a matter of days if not hours"

Um, Lynam went on Sky today and stated " The document that the footballl league have presented me to sign is illegal" I'm not saying you are wrong but that's Lynams take on it.

Because he can be bumped out now at any time by another bidder paying for exclusivity
