I dont think that Pinnacle ever had a realistic plan of getting SFC back to the Premiership. Most thing written and said appeared a little amateurish and involving KK and MLT appeared populist. But as there did not seem to be a viable alternative was accepted by most people . Perhaps we should have been worried when it took such a long time for them to go into exclusivity.

Yes I think you are right I would have thought they would have had plans and bids to account for a No Deduction b 10 point Deduction c 20 or more Deduction or perhaps the plan for c was to walk but that would not be very clever as they would have wasted time and money. I would also have thought that they should have discussed the FL stance before entering exclusivity

Have your thought that if Crouch's alleged involvement with Pinnacle had not taken place another Consortium could have taken us over. It is a possibilty but of course not definite. Pinnacle may have had the money to buy the club but did not do so because of the FL and the attitude of the fans and the Echo

Leon undoubtably a Saints Fan may have shown wrong judgement on a number of occasions but he as spends money he cannot be critised. Whether he has made the awful situation worse only time will tell.

It might affect other potential bids

What did they actually say then

Who with

I dont think calling Jackson a Liar is very clever do you?

Yes probably quite a lot

Hampshire qualified for T20 quarter Finals

I think Fry already is discussing with other buyers but nobody seems to want to buy but Pinnacle may still do so I would take it if we got out of League 1 within three years there is little chance of doing it this year I would have thought

Yes but we need a team unfortunately and we will lose more players than we gain. From looking at BBC and SKY websites other teams are building their sides and all seem to have managers. God knows how long it would take Pinnacle to get in a manager

No just under whelmed unfortunately it has just finally registered with me Div 3 - 10 points no outstanding players and a possible new regime which hopes we will succeed. Might cheer up later but really depressed now

are you really looking forward to pinnacle taking over ?

I was not expecting the deal to be signed today but we have still not had any feedback from the FL meeting. But if a respected fan like Duncan is suffering aggro I dont know whether it is worth continuing as I cannot see the club being successful in the future . What have SFC got at the moment which other clubs have not

I thought it was going to be Tuesday anyway meeting today with FL Contract to buy Saints on Tuesday

I find it strange the the Football Chairman MLT is not at the FL can anybody come up with the reason why he is not there.

I agree that MLT is/was a better footballer than LoweCrouch/Wilde but I have no idea of how he would be as a Football Chairman.

As I said yesterday nothing I heard from MF or ML during their recent interviews on SKY gave any impression on how they were going to take the club forward. Their Plan was MLT would sort it out .

Unfortunately I cannot disagree with anything you have said even if Pinnacle do finally buy the club I cannot see success being certain

I think Killer's injury led to our relegation from the Premiership. His leadership and defensive ability was sadly missing especially under Wigley's reign .

You dont seem to rate Mr Fry very much do you . Lots of companies Woolworths and LV Van company have gone bust after calling in the administrators so it is probably a common occurrence. With the lack of bids with serious money I dont think Fry could have done anything more than he has done so far. I dont think he should have sold off the assetts piece meal or sold the club to Jackson do you. At the moment the club could still be saved With the bids that I understand to have been made

I thought it was always likely that loads of players were leave after relegation not really surprising

Firstly it's hard to understand why members of the north London Jewish community would want to buy SFC. Like Bates and Ashley I would have thought to make money. £14 m for a debt free club plus Stadium with potential for Premiership seems a good deal to me probaly increase Michaels wealth

I agree Terry Paine was outstanding in Div 2 so much so that he got in to the World Cup Squad so was Chivers too - both at a young age. Thats why I would have thought that Surman Schenderlin and Lallana should have performed better last season and our failure were not fully down to the coaches but the players too
