This is the thing though - once the bid starst to look shaky, people will pour over other elements that don't stack up. The Fialka unveiling has gone appallingly badly from a PR point of view. I do think Pinnacle need to complete today or pull out. Nothign is going to happen between now and Monday to change things.

I still don't understand this. Couldn't they make it explicit that the season ticket had this condition by, say, putting in very big, bold letters on the marketing material "BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE ANY OR ALL OF OUR FIXTURES". Seems we have foregone c. £2m in revenue by not selling STs, so I guess there must be an absolutely compelling reason.

If administrators worked for nothing when they were handling companies in crisis, it wouldn't be a very attractive profession....

I guess they don't have to, but there isn't any money to pay them. Saints don't have their own sterling printing presses AFAIK.

Does this also mean the players have gone without pay? Am less bothered on emotional grounds, but are they now free to walk?

I'm interested in the possibility of some sort of AFC Saints option....

The lottery is terrible odds, cos only 50% goes into prize money. You're better off trying to predict an excat score in one of the Wimbledon matches today.

And presumably, he has been....

Presumably, Fry starts to dispose of assets on the Tuesday...?

My morale is hitting rock bottom. Maybe that's just a reflection of the negativity on the forum though rather than anything in the real world.

sounds plausible.

Any more pearls of wisdom? Tw*t

Agree on some of the OTT stuff. But if Pinnacle have rolled out Fialka to enhance their credibility, then God help us. If TL believes Fialka adds "weight" and "substance" to the deal, I'm deeply concerned about how he got a visa to visit planet Earth in the first place.

Can you sack him, then? If so, please do...what a tw*t....

I might be persuaded to complain IF ever deal goes t*ts up. So far, I think Fry has been pretty excellent. I'm also not going to make a di*k of myself by firing off letters of complaint (a)before I know the full details and (b) possibly a few hours before a deal is completed.

And other interested parties could apply for exclusivity immediately.

Can this be blocked, removed or down-graded please. Not appropriate and not even remotely funny.

If the Swiss consortium is serious, and really want to buy the club quickly, why not pay say £50K for a 96 hour exclusivity period? They could knock Pinnacle out of the ball park...

Impeccably bad (good?) timing - see update on anotehr thread.

I'll gladly accept this from TL. But it does mean today is the day. If this drags on over another weekend, that stretches credulity. So, here's hoping. Plus it will also be a delicious fringe benefit for the morons like GM to be proven wrong.

League 2 or Blue Square rather than -25 in League One.

The Football League can't run its members' club in breach of the law. It may be doing just that.

August 8th. We have time to accommodate four weeks, if we survive that long.

Jackson's a fantasist. Don't believe a word he says. In fact, if he does say something it actually makes it less rather than more likely that its true. The chances of Peter Reid being the next manager are falling merely in virtue of Jackson suggesting it.
