Fry - Takeover is almost complete. Funds being transferred.

more importantly have South Today given anymore updates on the cat that was missing a couple of weeks back? -
Lol and so 6 inches of snow wasnt the reason, it was a boycott due to RL. You didnt mention the Man Utd cup game when 32000 turned up, all those boycotters forgot he was still there.Lol There is no doubt RL played a part in the stay aways but the REAL reason is that they want to watch top class football.Dont we all?
-
Ginge, you must get over the RL thing. Lets move on and get behind the new regime.
-
We dont know Liebherrs offer of course. It has turned out OK for Fry but perhaps not on purpose, as if i was a billionaire and a little club like SFC had scorned me i may have moved to other things, after all he doesnt have the emotional ties we do. he looks at us in £'s
-
and you think Pinnacles was not on similar lines, and we dont know the Swiss's either. I would also look at the probabability of such futures coming to pass. I believe if the right set up is achieved we could be at least up 1 division quickly. If that is the case and the cost base of the club is low then the chance of further payments are high.Your analogy is obviously far fetched as the odds are not stacked as you put them.It would have been in the region of £8m with add ons i suspect.Not £1 now and 50m later.
-
Oh my word. Why did they wait so long, to me it serves them right .It is not as though they have not had time to react.
-
I have had a message through that it is still going ahead. Whilst it has not come from Libherr of Fry, I would myself be happy in that knowledge.
-
i have had it confirmed Kelvin was not there last night,
-
It has been mentioned many times that Jackson had an offer on the table. It was not enough apparently but it is for others who know more to put that up.
-
I was under the impression that he went up friday and came back over the weekend but was going back monday to sign as the WHU players returned , hence my thread monday. Why it has not finalised is a mystery.
-
you would almost certainly be boycotting that lot as well. Are your mates Roger etc who I met outside the ground with you definitely getting s/t's now?
-
It was good though Wes.
-
From where i sit he was but of course only my opinion. If he allowed a third party to pay a deposit for them it would seem obvious that they were eithrer not committed or unable to raise the right funds IMO. I doubt he found the buyer but they were introduced.They could have easily walked after he gave Pinnacle 3 weeks exclusivity. In that time they could have changed their mind or even got a better opportunity, especially as it seemed Pinnacle were the real deal. He of course may have kept them warm but there were ruours of them being very unhappy that Pinnacle were give the first chance. i believe he was lucky that the Swiss stayed.
-
I was at first impressed but time has changed that John.
-
well he can let us all know. He will try and make himself look good as I doubt his trade mates think he has been that clever being duped and so he is bound to try and make it sound as he pulled a stroke of magic.
-
or Fry is trying to move the blame from him giving exclusivity to a sham instead of the Swiss. If he is inferring that he did it to get the wages paid he forgets that it is not sure how much was paid at that time.Is it alos right that he took money knowing that they would not complete, is that correct for him to do?
-
was he ever any different, sounds like a match report of him when he played for us
-
In our relegation season from the PL we won all our friendlies I have been told
-
I believe it was a combination of things and Yorkie was honest enough to point that out.I dont doubt rL was devisive but to some LM LC Askham and others are also in small parts. What is paramount was the relegation. RL was in charge and should shoulder much of the blame but so should the players and management. The fans lost their faith and nerve after the Leeds game and since that time they turned and in the main never returned. Add to all the other disappointments and of course the return of the unpopular RL and it was a dxrip drip loss of love. I douby many will return, but i am not going to hold grudges, it happened, the fans who didnt turn up couldnt face to do so under RL that is their choice.I dont think they should be congratulating themselves as they nearly killed the club and if we didnt get lucky with the Swiss we would have ended up with what??
-
Its about time you got a grip and started supporting the club Robbie. In life you cannot have everything and have to mature and realise that is the case. Support it do not keep dividing it. Wotte will be give a little time, we need the fans to be supportive as we need a positive start on -10 not having fans sniping because they dont like something all the time. You will in a small way hurt the thing you tell us you love. You have got what you wanted , a new owner now let those people who have invested their money do what they wish to do.They are not idiots they have made fortunes and so will not carry on with a bad manager if he fails to deliver. So give it a rest
-
At least you are honest. If we had been winning more than losing the boycott would not have happened. The truth is I doubt any fan sat well with RL but we stomached it because it was our club.We knew he would not be there forever and there were some good as well as bad. sadly many fans were there only for the big time and until we get back to those days they still will stay away.Afterall we will get Im not paying that to watch pubfootball or a load of kids.That mindset will not change until those pub footballers or kids are playing Man U and chelsea. Ps Yorkie i hope you do come back
-
This is such a funny thread. lol. Lets slap ourselves on the back and congratulate ourselves we bankrupted our own so called love b3ecause we couldnt have our own way.Not only did we we do it once and regret it we didnt learn but did it again. i also love the sermon about incomes and outgoings, telling us about financial prudence. It was the lot the first time that took over under the 'fans wishes' that racked up the overspend. Lol Carry on convincing yourselves that it was down to you it really is funny reading.
-
When they fiind out who introduced them to the club then watch them change their tune. Lol
-
You cant argue with the mindset of some. Let them crow as if they have been Baldrick on a bright day.

I think you will find that Wotte can speak German and so would be ideal to show them around.
