annoying to say the least.

I agree. The takeover is just such an itch you cant scratch.

it was used on teletext for 2-3 days

Is that aimed a me? It has gone quiet and have not had a word since the trust me quote. Perhaps they have better things to do. If they believe it and their jobs are in jeopardy then who am I to question.

I clicked on the picture and it sadi access denied. lol

I agree he should not be welcomed back but if it meant the club is saved and my daughters and their children have the chance of haivng some of the ups I have had then it is selfish to say no. I feel the same way as you do about any combination of any of the other former board memebers but I dont think that will stop me going if they took over.I dislike them all to the same degree now. They ALL have been part of it, dont forget many were faces behind RL when things were better and did nothing to stop some of the mistakes. After his removal nobody comes out with flying colours either.Yes LC is marginally best of a bad lot, but dont forget he did not stop Pinnacle let it be known he paid the deposit (and now that does not seem to be sure, add the fact it wa called the Crouch group for a period) None of the last personalities ever to be allowed back into the boardroom and I include former managers.

It gets worse if that is the case.I doubt anything can be done if this is true. Old boys act. if so.

Gordon Strachan when he played for Leeds, he dominated and drove his team forward. Neville Southall, and even in that semi at Highbury

its hard to say why. Misjudgement?

I do hope the club are aware of this Art

yep we've got loads of choice havent we? Are you not a little concerned that there seems to be no news , considering we got the impression it would happen quickly. We dont have the luxury to be picky Id have thought

steve shouldnt you be working on the master tape of the forum game instread of being on here

it is the fashion.

I think we both think there is something strange about the timings etc. You point your finger at RL. Interesting as he and Askham and co had a lot to lose that they had in shares still in the club (whilst it is fair to say they did not pay for them, they were still assets), as for outside spectators ???

well if you are likely to buy an asset for a fraction of its worth ,then of course that would be little to cost in.Add the fact that it seems it wasnt 500k and probably less it is even a bigger bonus. All great conspiracy theories of course.

Has it been confirmed publicly that Pinnacle did not pay the deposit? I know there has been a few people who were said to have paid it, and as I questioned a few days ago,if Pinnacle couldnt/wouldn't cough up why would Fry have any faith in their bid. To whose end is it that a false/unfunded bid could be given exclusivity? A stalling process that may have well made others disinterested as it seemed their efforts were to no avail and so stop working on the bid.It was seen as a done deal so any work would have been stopped to save wasting more money. It points perhaps to people working to get the club at a snip of a price perhaps. Carpet baggers and chancers. Fry's judgement in taking Pinnacle into exclusivity must be brought into disrepute IMO

Ohhhhhhhh, it must be funny when Tony Blackburn used it or not

If you were his boss and he kept the job running along getting fantastic fees, and in the end selling the company when it had very little left on the bone, i think you would send him to many more. They are a law unto themselves and have quite a lot of power,everything he would do is lawful of course.

Yes you were right,as long as both bids dont pull out today, even if the did i doubt it would happen then as apparently there are back up bids on the table of low amounts.

I just thought Id add a punchline, and i didnt start it off, it probably will be something different,

I dont put people on ignore as they all have ap art to play. This RL thing returning is nonsense. At least at board level. He may well see us as a wonderful bargain and perhaps get a group together that would save us at the end of the day.If he came as part of a group and not involved at boardroom level would that make it easier. You have to remember that no board has done us any good in recent history (I myself have never been happy with any of them for 40years) I want the club saved and if it means RL being in the background I would stomach that.If he came back as part of the board then I would like yourself question my support.

I think he is agreeing with both of us. As there are prospective owners he will give the club more time. It will not be open ended though Im sure you will agree as well.

Looooool

I think the9 has got it right.

isnt Tommy Boyd the pompey fan?
