Someone's been messing with the buttons on your keyboard again Nick. Both the above rumours have been touted in the press for some time now and with a combination of needs (cash) and desires of the players I would think both are quite likely.

Ummm......No.

That's what inhaling top secret formula weedkiller does to you

Agreed however it would appear he is trying to do something positive. IF the Swiss bid was better in the first place then you should consider pointing the finger at Fry rather than Crouch.

Fry has stated in his update that 'there will not be a further exclusivity period available to potential purchasers due to the tight deadlines...'

Oh my dear God so it's Crouch's fault that we are where we are is it? You really do take the biscuit. How about asking your own God Rupert if he'd like to help the Club out of the sorry mess he is partly responsible for.

If he did pay it, and there seems to be a strong indication he did, then I imagine he would have done it from a supporters perspective rather than to gain favour with Pinnacle. Whatever you think about Crouch he has dipped into his funds more than any other in recent times to support the running of the Club.

Not only according to Talksport but Fry himself. It's in his latest update on the OS and covered in the thread on here.

As many have suggested reading between the lines would seem to indicate the Pinnacle bid has no real chance of completing. What do these people think they're playing at. The Club just lurches from crisis to crisis and when you think things can't get any worse they indeed do.

And those that are under contract can walk away too as their contracts have been breached? If this is a possible scenario then Fry is rapidly running out of assets.

What I just don't understand Duncan is why the 'experts' at Begbies Traynor couldn't see through this?

Absolutely. If this bid does have questionable financial support that has got past Fry and his team then it would be no surprise if they have convinced MLT of it's integrity as well. Worrying times I'm afraid.

It would appear one of them is wrong...

Was Thursday the only day this week we haven't had an update from Lynham? Looks like today, being a Friday, could be another significant day in the history of SFC

Surely Fry's done his homework on the bid....surely :confused:

It would demonstrate good intention. I know many of us are questioning the developments of this evening but you just have to assume (dangerous I know) that Fry is comfortable with the funding arrangement Pinnacle are presenting.

Probably already posted but there's a short article on SSN now relating to the earlier interview http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11719_5401187,00.html seems to suggest he has funded this weeks wages although that doesn't seem to be the case...

Some very pertinent and worrying points there Ron.

Weedkiller can do that to people you know.

So it would seem we have reached some sort of impasse. The FL are not going to back down so it's a question of whether Pinnacle will or not. I'm sure there's been plenty of frantic activity going on behind the scenes these last few days but on the face of it we seem no closer to a conclusion today than we were nearly a week ago.

What's the legal position of players contracts if the Club defaults on salary payments? Can the contracts become void in this instance? In which case could they walk away to a new club without SFC receiving an payment? This really would be trouble leaving no assets for Fry to sell to pay off the creditors.

However tomorrow is Friday and there's always hope on a Friday

I remember the year they came here when they went down with what was then the lowest ever points record. As a minimum you'd expect some fight from a Peter Reid team even if there was little quality but they completely surrended, it was woeful.

Hopefully this will see the end of the attention-seeking plonker. Now come on Pinnacle pull your finger out.
