Anyone know who this rich saints fan based in Switzerland who is seriously interested in buying us is?

wouldn't be in interests of administrators

Due Diligence" is a legal term which means, essentially, to make sure that all the facts regarding the company that you intend to invest in are available and have been independently verified. In some respects, it is very similar to an audit. All the documents of the company are assembled and reviewed, the management is interviewed and a team of financial experts, lawyers and accountants descends on the business to analyze it. (At least, that's what happens with it is a large business). The goal of due diligence is simple: Learn as much as possible about this particular business and the industry. Particularly in a soft economy, a little due diligence is worth the effort, and it usually can be done in a few short hours. Like prevention, an ounce of due diligence is worth a pound of cure. Even if you're confident that the business or project you intend to invest in is legit and capable of living up to its promises, a little due diligence will help you understand their unique nature and allow you to better understand what you're getting into. There was a time not so long ago when a law firm would have to use an "information specialist" to find this information, or in extreme cases, hire a "corporate spy" to dig up the most sensitive competitive business information. But today, with so much business, legal and news information available on the Internet, getting this kind of "business intelligence" is infinitely easier. This is true even in Panama. To locate company background and financial information via the Internet follow these steps:

agree, there was no need for him to say it. Need to move on with new owners now.

now Alan Whitehead! devastating news, underlines what we have to do now, make sure club can come out of administration as soon as possible with owners sound financial basis for the future

On the solent thread but thought worthy of note on its own. Fry announced that reached due diligence with serious contender who would be good for the future of club and will reach due diligence with another tomorrow. Hopeful of takeover soon.

will appeal, think league are a members organisation and have looked it as that rather than looking at the rules. They have made comments that club is in administration which isn't true so how can they include that in their judgement, will appeal to football league and if that fails can take it to a higher level with FA and QCs. Said hopeful takeover will be completed before money runs as now have two seriuos contenders at advance stage

sorry for poor typing in title!

look to be a serious good contender for the future and another contender going to due diligence tomorrow

but not nearly as substantial as £2m!

its £50,000 - a substantial amount.

one of the offers was quoted as being for no change in control just ensure survival of club - as a donation but only if matched etc. I don't think he has to give anything, it just seems a bit strange when he was in a media offensive against the others he has £2m now he wants "ordinary" fans to find the money.

why is someone who said they had £2m willing to "donate" to clear overdraft condoning collections which managed £5000?

points per 10,000 salary paid to his players would compare with a lot of managers. skates had huge wage bill whu had huge bill and only just stayed up under him.

shame we owe them money!

WBA - 4 games Newcastle - first time -1 game, second time not much more but included 6-0 defeat. Not really proven manager when we appointed him?

not that this forum can argue over anything - but perhaps we don't need another one on the percentage of public who would recognise NP's photo!
