So, the best 'tactic' for any prospective head of a consortium (e.g. Tony Lynham, Marc Jackson, etc) is to get a name in the frame who satisfies the Administrator's "proof of funding" criteria just so you can get your foot in the 'exclusivity door', thus buying yourself time to find an actual buyer whilst the 'name' who bought you the exclusivity in the first place slips quietly away never to be heard of again.....? Trojan Horse anyone?

Richard or Mark?

I think 'some' on here know 'something' about what went on but fair point for the majority on here.

I don't think anyone is unhappy with the outcome. If Fry/Begbies are to be judged on outcome alone then, yes, he/they deserve a gong. However, I believe this thread is covering how we got to that outcome. Some are saying that it was Fry's expertise that got us to the favourable outcome. Others are suggesting there was a fair amount of luck and 'interesting' decisions along the way. That's all.

Not forgetting the curious 'coincidence' that his image and profile were removed from the Begbies Traynor website when the 'news' of his appointment was discussed on here....

Indeed. I'm sure I heard someone say that Fry became 'very difficult to get hold of' during those three days.... Somewhat blows out the "Fry had no choice" hypothesis from the SWF 'administration experts'...? Perhaps....?

Hear, hear. Fair play to him.

First time for everything on the SaintsWeb Forum....

Well it appears that people with knowledge of the Administration Industry think otherwise. I think it's most people's natural instinct to 'protect' the industry they are in. Doesn't mean they're not right of course. I'm happy to be proved wrong, as ever. As I said, just a subjective view based on anecdotal evidence. That's all. Guilty as charged m'lud. I still hold the opinion that the 'Administration Industry' is one of the most 'vested-interest' industries in the world. There seems no incentive to get the job done quickly and efficiently. As I understand it (which, again, could be totally wrong of course) the longer the administration process goes on the more the administrator gets paid. No?

From what I heard over the summer, through the medium of PMs and text messages, my conclusion at the time was that Mark Fry was out of his depth. Just a subjective opinion based on anecdotal evidence. Which is why I'm very surprised to hear about this award. I'd have been less surprised if RICHARD Fry had won it.... ;-)

drat....beat me to it!

Just hope he doesn't talk about the yellow crops being harvested in fields across England

It's not as if it would have fitted them either...unless they wanted it fir their kids...? ;-)
