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.

He certainly comes across as a bumbling buffoon. Who could ever forget the cringeworthy interview in the Bournemouth AFC car park. He's had plenty of chances to get involved with both SFC and Bournemouth and failed gloriously so probably best he disappears back into the shadows pdq.

We should have a league table for the ITKers, you know the ones 'I have been told', 'I understand' blah blah then when all comes out of the wash at the end of today (hopefully!) they can all serve respective bans related to the amount of inaccuracy displayed. Those that were right can have free membership to TSW for a year!

Agree with you there, I think Patterson has something about him. As for DMG, there is no doubt the guy has some talent (some of seems to be 'hidden'!) but what seems to be holding him back is his apparent attitude. I really have my doubts he would dig in for us in League 1. Take the money.

Ditto. It's all about having a united board with the same goals and vision.

You never know it just may be. I'm sure we both want the same but sometimes you can take a different journey to get from A to B.

Well I'm not going to argue with you and certainly we have shared a common thought process on many SFC issues in recent times. Saying that I'm not sure that living in Dubai automatically gives all the answers, I have many friends there and they don't know the detailed ins and outs of SFC and BT but onwards and upwards. I'd be amazed if anyone other than Fry and a few, close associates know the real details behind the last couple of months worth of activities. I know people very close to some of the dealings but none of them know all the facts. But hopefully that's all behind us now and we can look to the future, probably not a time to go Wilde just yet though lol.

I'm not suggesting he is Phil but with all de respect how can you make such a comment. Do you have all the facts? He clearly has one objective and that is to strike the best deal for the creditors, nothing more nothing less.

Agreed and I would imagine the new owners will want to bring in their own man in any case.

On the face of it and without knowing the facts it seems great news for SFC. Hopefully Fry thinks this is the right partner with the right backing and finances so fingers crossed it works out that way. Let's hope the self-appointed ITKers who have got so much wrong in recent weeks keep a low profile. Onwards and upwards. COYR.

I don't agree with the sentiments but I have to say that I've avoided posting on here for some time. I still look in most days but get increasingly fed-up with the so-called ITKers and blatant story tellers. When there's NEWS there will be news, until then it's fingers crossed time for the right outcome and to the right people..whoever they may be. COYR.

Surely Drew Surman deferred or donated his wages after all he's a local lad and a Saints supporter........

lol, not intended but I guess 'yes'

I think the impact on the timescales is perhaps the most worrying element. History suggests that whilst he may have a decent heart his business brain is not of the same pedigree.

It's a shame that all the wannabe ITKers really aren't that at all. Must be some kind of personality inferiority but makes the time pass

And I'm sure we'll see a fair few of the players and their agents pushing for these moves. Quite ironic when they've clearly failed at that level but that's football for you.

It's either a) or one of the following d). Wotte doesn't know what he's talking about. e). Should have gone to Specsavers
