If you were buying the stadium, traning round, players et al for a £15m long term investment the 10 points would be little more than a short term annoyance. You might possibly try and negotiate the price down a bit, but not throw the toys out of the pram. The 10 points is smokescreen, an excuse imo

Its a natural reaction of people who have extended faith and trust, only to be discover they've been lied to, again.

The way I feel at the moment, it might as well be scheduled on Setanta.

An unnamed source said: “I’m honestly shocked. It’s more shocking than Michael Jackson’s death. He’s one of the best talker's you’ll ever meet. Exactly what I was worried about.

Dunno. Something has gone wrong and Fialka doesnt look like he has ever had access to £15m.

Maybe the exclusivity fee was paid because the contract included a provision to appeal the 10 points and Pinnacle now want to back out because the FL wont budge on that issue. Who knows, all speculation at this stage.

Maybe the process isnt that rigorous. Its pretty easy to fake documents.

He should have put a bid in then

Please show me the terms of the contract Pinnacle signed so that I can be as well informed as you. Many thanks.

Basically Matt has backed the bid because he has been assured by his friend Lynham that the funds are in place. Lynham has backed the bid because he has been assured by his business contact Fialka that he knows someone who has the means. Now it comes to pulling the funds in, surprise surprise the string doesnt appear to be attached to anything.

Or the creditors have established a 'this low and no further' price. Accept the price or F off and we'll sell the assets piecemeal

Because they want their deposit back (imo).

Says two parties remaining. If the Swiss are in it looks like either Jackson or Salz have dropped out.

I imagine Matt is desperately trying to find out what the hell is going on and establish whether he has been duped before he makes any further comment.

www.192.com is one source. Many others out there if you look.

Does it take a year and end with a big let down?

Odd that his name is also that of a Russian encryption machine - a code, an anagram - bit like Alistair Dial.

I met his daughter once. She didnt give me any money.

The last bloke from Guernsey we had didnt turn out too bad.

Saints Takeover in Doubt (Daily Express) http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/109155/Saints-takeover-in-doubt Troubled League One club Southampton are confident that they will not be docked 10 points next season for going into administration. (Daily Mail - 3/4 of the way down) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-1194532/Charles-Sale.html MLT committed to completing a deal (Teletext) http://www.teletext.co.uk/football/news/526bf92490f23e0772ccd4694f775f33/League+One+news.aspx

We've got a provisonal licence. The test comes next week. Hope we pass.

We deserve the -10, and should be grateful it isnt more like other clubs. Of course if I was Pinnacle I'd try and find a way to avoid it - but if they dont succeed no-one should be surprised or hard done by.

Pinnacle are the preferred bidder instead of Jackson for a reason. I doubt Fry takes his bid seriously.

Mawhinney isnt public enemy no1 and the idea that the FL have been moved by Jackson is risible imo. Still lets not stop the lynching eh.

Possibly, although I dont read the arms dealing pages
