Here is the latest that I have heard as of this morning. Pinnacle will happen regardless of whether they resolve the issues with the league First choice manager is shearer.However he is still talking to newcastle so may not happen. Money to spend this season. The reason they want a big name manager is to get bums on seats and attract decent players. The players have been told they will be paid (not sure whether that means tomorrow though) Source - Horse mouth

I heard Fry took delivery of a brand spanking new Bentley convertible yesterday. Nice to see where all the money goes I guess.

Financial institution in reaping what it sows shocker. Serves them right IMO

ssn hsve just reported that the FL will not back down on thier decision. Pinnacle must agree to not take legal action if they are to be accepted into the league. back to the drawing board then

IMO I think on Monday the FL will all meet up after taking legal advice and back down. There is a set of criteria that needs to be met by any new company taking control of a football club (that much we know with the fit & proper persons test). If we meet that criteria and they are actually as reported only approving the takeover if we sign away our right to appeal then that is a case for pinnacle to sue. If pinnacle decide not to sue and walk away then surely the administrator (on behalf of the creditors) could sue for loss of a sale to the tune of £15 million. Either way the FA are in a lose lose situation. if they were so adamant that they are right then why the need for an emergency meeting on monday? They are running scared and trying to bluff there way through. No doubt they will be frantically seeking legal advice over the weekend. Personally I think it will be resolved.

Im hearing that it is very unlikely that he will come.

My money is an announcement tomorrow that the deal is yet to be completed and more time is needed. Whilst keegan has indeed talked to MLT it is very unlikely that he will take the job.

unlikely that they would run with this if we werent about to be taken over IMO.

Makes me laugh that they failed to mention that he resisted arrest and it needed 7 policemen to restrain him. Apparrently is lawyer told him the only thing that could keep him out of prison was his name / status in soton.

Yeah Im assuming a deal has been done. Gut feel its dowie but i guess well find out soon. MLT knows tisdale but your right offically he cant approach him. Then again I think we all know that noone plays by the rules.

I heard today from my source that all will be revealed on thursday. no details about who had been chosen for manager would be revealed. i do know dowie, tisdale, cotteril and ince have been spoken too but dont know which it will be.

Mlt has already spoken to 4 people about the job. Lighten up we will have a new manager once the bid is completed. Wotte will have some role but not manager

Pointless question, it will be one of dowie,tisdale, ince or cotteril. Wotte will be the academy director.

u guessed it in one

Assuming the Pinnacle talks are completed the Wotte will stay at the club but not as manager. Dowie has already met with MLT but he is waiting to see what happens with newcastle. MLT will meet with 3 others (not got any names yet).

Be careful it could be some wan ker with a torch bringing more bad news

But your point is boring and I would suggest most people other than you were interested to here confirmation from a source who is involved with the bid. In addition you are saying all that I posted was freely available on the forum but you forget that there is also a whole lot of tripe on here too. So my point by posting is confirming some of this information as true to help people sort the truth from the absolute garbage. Anyway if it doesnt help then Ill refrain from adding other snippets that I pick up if that makes you happier

Ok, Ill bite its a probably because the deal hasnt been completed. Until its signed sealed and delivered with the money in the bank there is always an element of doubt and to be frank MLT is going to look a bit of a tit if he starts saying its definate and soemthing goes wrong. As far as being an ITK, I just passed on some words from the mouth of MLT that I can be 100% sure is accurate as its from a member of my close family. You either want to know this type of info or you dont, i just thought some people might like to know. AS far as your comments about Dogface and the likes whi "dont fanny about", well correct me if Im wrong but am I not one of the very few on here that actually tellsyo uwhere the info came from Im not sure if I can call you a wayneker without being infracted or not so I guess I better not. Feel free to put me on ignore if you dont liek my info and where it comes from.

If I was making it up would I not make up something slightly more interesting ? OK if it makes you happier then I admit I made it all up , does that make you feel better? FFS The thing that does **** me off is my contact never asks the juicy questions as he feels like he is prying.

my contact is a family member and MLT is a firend of his and above is the summary of what they spoke about this morning. Im not too fussed whether you consider that made up bull**** or just put together from the "consensus" on here. I know the truth and after reading trhe rumours of the bid falling to pieces I was quite happy to have been told the information above. It certainly has put my mind at rest. You my friend can either read it and take heart from it or dismiss it as bull****. Either way it is no skin off of m nose. If I hear more ill put it on here as personally any information is better than none certainly after the silence of the past few weeks

My contact spoke to MLT this morning and he said the pinnacle stuff is going well, The investor will take a major back seat with little involvement going forward. TL will run it for him. MLT will be involved (prob chairman) and he will have a given a cheque book for players but didnt say how much. He wouldnt open up on the manager front but only said they met with Wotte. He got the impression that they would want their own man.

I agreed with the first poster he is underated. I certainly dont agree with you assesment of his first and second touch. IMO that was a positive attrbute to his game IMO.

Not true, A perid of exclusivity and the accompanying deposit is to allow the preferred bidder to have full unlimited access to all financial details of the business. They will use this time to get their teams of accountants and financial experts in to go through the books with a fine toothcomb and will then of all is acceptable sort out all of the T&Cs of purchasing the company. The reason the deposit and an exclusivity period is because it is typically an expensive task for the bidder.

Have i missed soemthing? Where has it emerged that the irish and pinnacle have walked? or are we guessing?

I hope so it would be hilarious
