but as many have pointed out to me on this thread that we have no choice, the administrator is getting as much as he can for the creditors and doesnt worry what about the club. It is as though i didnt realise it but it shouldnt stop me voicing my genuine concerns

Do you agree that it was basically to put RL etc in a very difficult position and timed (Ithink Im right)in the week of the demonstrations march and so a good headliner ?

Perhaps it was to do with the OP and people losing patience as the goalposts moving day to day or I may be having a nervous breakdown , you decide i suspect that B will be suspected by the majority on this thread.

Im fine thanks. Perhaps the call I got earlier today got the alarm bells ringing.

Hypo, I know but they are entitled to their opinions. I find it funny about the ridiculous thread of the month thing though, and then look down at the list below at some of the threads.Lol

You think i dont know that? I have been telling people that when they were calling for us to go into it, but it doesnt mean I want it

I think that is a very good assessment but many people cant be a#### to hang around. Ithink you are right it could well be a 'low punt' but it is a punt and we dont seem to have many queueing up to make middle range punts.It just signals to me that the people coming in are not big punters.

no I want what is best for SFC. If you have confidence that if the first people withdraw and somebody else will step in then fine.I have concerns that if the second bidders do not actually follow up we could be left with nothing.There is a tipping point and I hope that Fry (the administrator) can judge it correctly. I tried to find the link to Richard Fry (barclays) for you to read. It was in the echo last week under Wildes bit about his explanation of barclays involvement. I think also RL mentioned his involvement some weeks ago as well.It is not on the webpage now so i cant link to it for you to read. You may then see where i was coming from regarding him

Lol, RL is a money grabbing... but you Ok Fry stalling.

Well it deoends how long the offer has been sitting on the table. From various sources I have been told that there has been an offer on the table for nearly a week but the verbal offer was 2 weeks ago. He of course should give the opportunity for others to bid but he may be running the risk that thye lose interest and withdraw. I wonder sometines if the fans want him to extract more from the buyers as though us as a club gets it. We should not want the buyer drained of so much capital that they have nothing left to spend on the squad. I assume fans have pinned their hopes on Pinnacle getting the bid accepted, perhaps their publicising MLT's backing was indeed a masterstroke. A bird in the hand has always served me well and at times I may have achieved higher prices but I have learnt that there is so much talk with little backing with so many people.

we might win then

That is the point, he cant force anybody to buy us but he apparently has had an offer and is waiting for others. If the one party gets frustrated and they walk what aree we left with? His creditors are then left5 in a worse state than they were before so.Talk is cheap and we've had enough of that with buyers over the last few years,if we have an offer then for all parties it may well be best for him to take it.Of course Im not privvy to how much we have left in the kitty to keep us running and again if a local businessman made a loan to pay the last set of wages will he do so again??? if not its good night nurse and all those who are throwing cheap shots will be able to throw their arms up and say 'but nobody told us itmight happen , if only we knew' much like the people who couldnt see the house price dropping and banks overlending.

My god you have really enhanced this site. The stuart Pearce thing was tongue in cheek. Lol

Fry at Barclays was their man who basically oversaw the day to day decisions the club could make in financial terms. He even sat in on board meetings and a so called Saints fan.He was behind Barclays not agreeing to increase our overdraft and so bounce cheques

Of course I give him a chance but the clock is ticking.Allegedly there has been an offer on the table for a while.Now of course it may be derisory, sometimes in life your first offer is your best offer. From my experience in retailing the worlds best buyers appear when there is a sold ticket on item if it is a one off. The minute you say 'well I think the person who was buying it has changed their minds' they are off like a shot. Mark Fry has to get his best price i agree but he also may lose the opportunity to get any buyer. We have been on the market for some weeks now and have whittled it down to perhaps 2. I hope our complacency does not cost us in the long run.

Im sorry to have a view

To me Fry is losing his way.At first i was very impressed but Iam now getting concerned he is liking his time in the sun and not really getting to grips with selling the club. Every time we seem to get to a stage that he is about to act then another phantom group seem to appear. I do hope he the administrators fees are not running away too much.As fans we should worry that everty day he takes the less the club comes out with to reinvest in our future. Perhaps of course he is trying to get as much as possible to satisfy the creditors and so we come out with a CVA. I do wonder what the bosses of Fry at Barclays who pulled the plug think, if they are going to get an even worse settlement than he had thought and his strange decision/advice may have backfired on them. All for a 100k the man who is a supposed saints fan (Fry at Barclays) may have not only cemented our relegation but also a minus 25 points next season.Well done to you and anybody who gave you the inclination to push

oh yeah and Gb would have been applauded for playing him instead of Safri etc lol. A lot of young players learn their trde by being loaned out even Beckham did, how stupid of Fergie

He will be picked off like any of our good young players.There wont be a CCC club who usnt looking at our squad and trying to take our better players.We are open to the vultures. if only we could go into administration...right

Im sure Westwood would enjoy it, no doubt it it an automaton and its mouth opens automatically.

Ericofarabia or Tijuanatim?

Fred isnt it, Takeover fred has been mentioned loads of times so it must be him

That was 2nd half, not the warm up I think that was 1 of Granty's more dangerous attempts, Lol he was very clinical with the goal he did score how he managed to get his shot hit a dovot and then for the ball to jump up and over the keeper took real precision.

At least if he goes on loan we get loan fees

You may believe so Stanley but ther best I expect is 3 years in L1 and then either up or down.Of course if we get a further points penalty change that to L2
