I think we would all be happy with that frankly. We all await it being put into motion and a constructive announcement rather than the "the FL are so unfair,and they will soon see the error of their ways, before retracting and enabling us to move the club forward.." updates.

Or possibly on the verge of the deals collapse,and total oblivion. but I sincerely hope you are right.

It wasn't me either,I'm just his mate, He told me to stand here and watch the gate... The takeover is descending into utter madness.

They are not Jackson. Nor are they rumoured to want to employ a scouse ignoramus such as Reid. Two positives in my book.

Pinnacle,Pinnacle ... to the nth factorial...

Inclined to agree. And if 'monkey head' Reid is the best Jacko can offer then it does not bode well.I'd rather retain Wotte.

That bit tacked on the end could of course be critical. I hope it is something minor,but on the other hand it could be something more fundamental ie restructuring the payments etc which may not be acceptable the the creditors.

I still cannot believe Pinnacle would have come this far without factoring in the possibility that the 10pt deduction was likely to apply.Even in the event of an appeal it might still have been upheld.

A question I raised yesterday,and yet to be answered, would there be grounds to sue those in control of the club at the time of the 10 point announcement for not lodging the appeal within the time limit imposed by FL rules. Is it possible that either the 'board' at the time - whoever it was - and/or the Administrators have been negligent in their duties by not setting the appeal in motion ?

Skate hate is alive and well in my part of Gloucestershire.

So would I but don't hold your breath.

If that alone is the outcome,then do we really have reason to complain ?

If at all true - and I doubt it is - then it might indicate that Crouch is/will be in a position of influence.

I really cannot believe that Pinnacle were only intent on buying the club without the -10 points.It has been well known for that the deduction might apply,even after an appeal. The CVA issue remains of concern though and how the FL interpret this.

In what sense ? Perhaps you are thinking along similar lines to me that the appeal should have been lodged immediately. Now,if the appeal has not been lodged,and we are now time barred from appealing it raises an interesting question in my mind.Have the remaining directors , or administrators even,failed in their fiduciary duties,and is there possibly recourse against them ? In the case of the administrators,I doubt it since we all know they were only dealing with the assets of SLH and not the SFC itself.:confused:

ditto.

Is there a more authorative source than the Echo reporting the FL meeting proposed for Monday?

Actually it might have been a good idea,if only the administrators or 'the club' had entered the appeal immediately.Leaving it 4-6 weeks or however long has enabled this to be brought into negotiations now. We are assuming this is the only stumbling block of course.

Completely agree with that.

I'm not sure KK is contracted to Newcastle.Shearer and Dowie were brought in as a temporary measure so again I don't think they are under a contract. Agree that PT may now seem a step down from the greater aspirations the last 36 hours have generated.Longer term though I suspect he would be a good option,certainly one that is likely to build the club long after more illustrious names are likely to have departed.(That said I would like a KK inspired Saints again).

Relief....I thought you were going to say Margeret Thatcher was buying us.

Don't tell me, their fax is broken ? Or they have uncovered the fact that Andrew Lloyd Webber has been gun running,and involved in running a prostitution racket.

Maybe an announcement to confirm an announcement in 48 hours. (or 72 hours to allow for the weekend)

On the back of the squad Martin Allen had built and left for him.for the hundredth time! Awful choice in my view.
