true! reading the echo's full story now, Fry talks about the group as a whole having shown him considerable wealth - Fialka is just part of that. Wonder if the confusion is Fialka was the sole contact to TL but his wealth was supported by others.

todays echo does say 3 identical contracts.

Fry seems convinced pinnacle aren't making excuses and saying the league have made 8 pages of conditions. Seems totally happy its leagues fault

They have shown "substantial wealth" to Fry - who counts more than to GM and the echo!

good. Was surprised as seemed different than his release yesterday, seemed today to be saying it is not Pinnacle's fault they haven't completed but it is the league's.

not trawled the forum but has Fry's interview from radio today been reported on here?

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4462780.Fry_happy_Fialka_wealth_is_real/?ref=rss yet another new one as forum is getting messy mods need a sticky on each person??

don't think he is insisting that at all - all he is saying is that it will be straight deal -no exclusivity period, in fact think it is acknowledged that the deal will be quite a different structure. I would say Pinnacle are losing a PR battle with their reasons, mixed messages and delays etc - but they have not yet been discredited

yes, but if it was a choice between lowe/crouch/wilde and MJ that maybe different!

he said he will invest and that is step forward- and beggars can't be choosers! TBH if he spends the last of his money taking us over - we would still be better off than before

just totally without logic! you pay to watch a team - decide whether you want to support saints or not, not whether you think the owner is rich enough to deserve your support! How much did Lowe, Crouch or Wilde put in when running the club? £0! So as long as he has got a paper round he can beat that!

of course it would interest me - doesn't mean I have a right to know. if someone has enough to buy the club - wherever they source it (friends/business etc) then that is enough. Woud love someone who could afford and want to throw in £10m p.a. but we haven't ever had that. If he can complete and its not bull then I don't have a problem with where he lives etc

why is his financial background yours, or any fans business?

his mate thinks it is someone elses money http://www.thejc.com/articles/jewish-property-man-fronts-bid-buy-southampton-fc with what TL says about his links????

just want clarity. I don't care if he is not reach - we have not had money put in, so debt clear and single owner etc we would be better off. Just want openness but more importantly -action!

they haven't said have issued one to Swiss - but waiting on their decision

who did they expect to pay them? Wotte?

think its more of the case Fry cannot do anymore for Pinnacle- if they sign the issued contract (not heard it being withdrawn) then its theirs but Fry can't assume they will after all the delays

Fry

asked for 1 week unpaid work by staff needs to be sorted next week expects decision from Swiss at very start of next week

we were a long time ago!

MLT sounded more downbeat and defensive than only two days ago when he was on sky sounding confident, relaxed and almost if he thought he was about to get the keys

thought he sounded ok on sky - but he will be judged on action - in completing this and if he does what happens next
