Abramovich did not start in league 1 on -10 points! Haha!

I expect pinnacle to wrap things up, however if they hit a snag it is positive that there are people waiting in the wings. Why are people panicking? I'm sure tl will update in due course but he is a busy man right now. Have a bit of belief for once.

I am sure they were not part of the original 4. If the investor is one of the original 4 then it is likely you will never have heard of him.

Hoolie

I am 1000% sure that lowe is not involved in any way shape or form!

Yes it would be good if the deal was already done, however that would be unrealistic & patience is needed. TL has communicated when he can, which is more than he has to do. Things are clearly moving in the right direction & no news is good news. The build up to exclusivity was agony for me, & although not completed yet I remain calm about the situation & have trust in Pinnacle to deliver on their exciting plans.

LC made some good decisions & some bad ones. He had a tough job with the mess left behind by wilde's involvement & he left us with some promise for the future (which was soon shattered by Judas & Lowe and led to our demise). I am not surprised at this news & suspected he would invited back. Whilst some want a clean sweep & I do understand that, LC has some valuable experience, is a true fan of this football club & has put his money where his mouth is. As long as his mouth goes nowhere near a microphone in future then I will welcome his involvement.

Jackie, you have hit the nail on the head with your explanation, Quinn also is classified as chairman.

This thread needs to be closed now, total BS. read anything offical there is no need to panic. there is clearly 1 or 2 with agendas. people need to stop being so negative ffs.

Sounds like a load of balls. The deal has been agreed for some time, they have paid for exclusivity. Due dilligence complete, all the official quotes the last week have been encouraging.

MLT Sky contract has expired so no need to resign. He would have stayed on but has known for sometime what position he will be taking with us pending completion.

I want him to stay but only if he puts in a shift each week. I can accept playing poorly from time to time, but he like many lacked the necessary fight last season.

fry is also quoted as saying pinnacle is "advancing as you would expect" which is encouraging.

Im sure all will come out eventually but being an impatient little sod, I have tried to find out a little more on the man I believe to be our alleged "investor" but details on the www are very very scarce. I have never heard of him or his companies. As his personal fortune suggested is obviously alot of money, I am surprised that more information is not readily available - his name cannot be found on any rich lists. bizzare.

I'm sure he will surround himself with people who have the knowledge & skills to assist him in the transition.

Gump?

As I said previously MLT will be chairman of the fc & giving up the day job, TL will be alongside him on the board.

I wanted to stay off this thread when I read it as despite my opinion of MJ, you never look a gift hourse in the mouth. That said maybe I am being too kind to assume he ever had any chance of putting a deal together. However I have to say I have just read the full interview in the echo & unless he was misquoted, then he is still talking some total utter BS. Stay away.

Don't like the badge at all, I love our badge but preffered it with the old style ball rather than the black & White one. Would like a r&w sash kit, but I don't think is gonna happen. The kits are just basic Nike templates - very nice mind, but we won't get anything like that as we have umbro & flybe.

Sounds like a load of old balls to me.

Well said tim, without wanting to sound happy clappy, that is the right attitude to have. I think that mlt deserves more than a 'probationary period' 19! Right now we all need to ride on the wave of optimism. Do not contimplate failure, a winning mentality is needed from top to bottom from the very start. A positive attitude can get you a long way & should not be underestimated. Mlt can unite a club which has been divided for at least 10 years in truth, that thought alone is exciting - the dawn of a fresh start for once. Go on smile, it hasn't happend enough!

full of adverts!

Would love to see WGS as manager again, would be a real coup to bring him back but perhaps that would be unrealistic.

He is a born goal scorer but does precious little else. Would be happy to keep him if he was really up for the fight, but I rarely see this in him - If he is not 100% up for the fight & not willing to graft week in week out in League 1, we are better off rid.

Yes hypo I replied in the wee hours this morning!
