Thanks Farmer/Tony for the reply to my question - appreciated

Depends who you believe....

I've seen no evidence of it

Don't recall that being 'announced'....any idea who's on it? Lynam Le Tissier Fialka??? ? ? cheers

Are these meetings this evening including the Football League, or are they just between Pinnacle, Begbies and the lawyers? cheers again

Cheers for that. I think at least knowing the 'modus operandi' of the "consortium" of which Mickey Fialka is a member and/or conduit will help immensely with the understanding levels. Thanks

Made fun of Glen Hoddle - totally buggered up the karma if you ask me....

Yes, we know....the BBC announced it a couple of weeks ago.....

Because both bids passed his acceptance criteria but one got the exclusivity money to him first?

Indeed....

I can't believe some people still don't know who the current Football Club directors are...

(excuse me while I bump this to the towards the top of the page...posts tend to get cut adrift a the foot of previous pages. Thanks for your time and understanding)

Hi Farmer, Grateful if you could clarify this one for me.... Are the 'group of rich people' that Mickey Fialka is associated with a contractually bound 'consortium' that have specifically joined together (formally) to jointly bid for Southampton Football Club OR are they an informal group of business associates that the likes of Lynam and Le Tissier would call upon for financing on a case-by-case basis. i.e. they have not contracturally joined together as an official 'consortium' to buy SFC ? I believe you or Tony Lynam could answer that one at a high (not detailed) level, and thus not break any NDAs, to put minds at rest. Thank you

oops...this one...take your pick....

Actually...this one is more realistic....

Don't tell us if you know anything though....I prefer surprises

Oh come on....just tell us whether it's Ramon Vega or Nycomed/Nordic Capital. You know it makes sense.

They are filming a new series of Challenge Anneka. She has 5 days to turn St Marys into a baboon sanctuary.

I assume the players will hand back their wages from last season before leaving by way of an apology to fans for what we had to put up with last season?

Why can't the consumer be presented with a form to sign upon purchase to waive their consumer rights? The risk then passes to the consumer.

Remind me, who employs the tax man and pays his/her wages? Is this a democracy or a dictatorship we live in?

Smokescreen?

Perhaps he's been trying to convince the Swiss and/or Jackson's consortium to buy him out of pole position? (i.e. by selling them access to the 'intellectual property' Pinnacle accumulated during their 3 week exclusivity period?) Just a guess. Probably wide of the mark

Nobody is saying that he knows/knew that Pinnacle's bid may not be all it has been purported to be, hence he would not be risking his reputation (based on what he knows/knew).
