to be fair I have never been involved in having to go the due diligence route, there are many better to ask. My crude viewpoint is a bit like an opportunist really. The club is reportedly days from folding so, a wealthy businessman/group put in a low/measly bid but have the proof of those funds in place. They are at least ready to act if the club is suddenly about to fold. They then have a bargain, but at the same time they can be working on a more extensive bid if we happen to stay up.Derry saying there is no bid at this time is quite concerning .It would be good if people like Clapham could guide us here and tell us if it is expected that no bids are on the table. To me considering the few weeks we have been here Im surprised no bids are there, especially as we had interest up to the night before SLH went into admin and Lowe etc's removal.

and he was on compassionate leave visiting his sick mother.Ipswich another friendly club bites the dust

this going into administration is fun isnt it? The spiral into despair is speeding up

I cant believe that a bidder does not factor in we are down. Everything then is an upside.If it is true we are within a week of folding then it would be clever business to get a low bid in at the same time preparing a higher 1 if we stay up.The low bid and funds could be in place in case we do go t### and ready to move in an instant . We may not know for sure for over a week if we are to go down and so they are really playing stupid games/risks

but the shame of the French doing us over. i suppose they came to us for the swag and Pompey for the easy man sex

Reading that is very disturbing

Good thats a start

Oh my god not only we have us football geeks on here but we now also have a Car Number Plate spotter.

i expect that he has had enough of the mob culture.I dont know just guessing Im not ITK on that Ginge. lol

I think Shilton and Tim Flowers also won it in the past??

That is just a nonsense. Im sure South west trains will do the same when you dont travel to London.Lol

are you sure it wasn't Alan Partridge?

anyone see that policewoman on sky today who is claiming that the stress of returning to the frontline brought on a virus.She was complaining that she was still breast feeding after her maternity leave and dint want to go back. My wife said 'This is why woman don't get jobs in front of men'

Yep we missed Lowes goals, I think he was out injured, it was crucial unlike Saga

How about the club selling seats there for the game saturday there could well be some people who'd stump up a fair wedge to sit there after all there's plenty of legroom now, it could be sold as Premium Economy

he left 6 games ago didn't he?

I have a degree in that. Edam to you too

Does anybody have a number for the Luftwaffe as my great aunt's house was bombed by the Germans and lost her prize collection of plaster ducks, they are worth a small for....small amount of money now

Is it complacency? do fans think that as we are in administration it is now easy for us to be taken over and so dont need to rush back?

only 2 punches, shame on them for not giving the bloke a proper lesson

He was heading for player of the year until he got injured last season

Adrian , come on we need them to be happy and relaxed before saturdays game.Have you not had a laugh with your mates this week. The last thing we need before we are definately down is a division between the fans and players.We have supported them all season dont let ourselves down at 11.59pm . If we go down then perhaps but not until then and not all of them deserve it anyway.

Duncan thankyou for that almost statesmanslike post.You have won me over as you are prepared not to side but to unite behind the thing that is very important in ours lives. Your open criticism of some you have been in favour of does worry me a little as I wonder that they might have let your hopes down and may not be active in trying to bale us out.Am i wrong or is it just you are ably trying to unite the fans behind the banner Duncan because somebody who can be so vitriolic (forgive the criticism) to say these things is a step forward and make what you say more palletable for a lot of fans

I think that is fair, I have no axe to grind with NI or Derry they both care deeply for SFC and are doing their best.Im trying to be practical and frankly if we are not a club worht investing in by a group how can a fans collective ever hope to do so?

How about we go the old fashioned way.We get an owner who takes the risks and we pay to go and watch and leave the politics out of our saturdays entertainment.A committee will NEVER run a professional football club that becomes successful. We had 3 businessmen with each of their egos with the Wilde bunch we dont need a room full of football chairman wannabees.
