Cannot see it being more than asking questions Phil, they know nothing. All guess work. Could be dangerous running blind as I am sure they are.

I reckon it is "investigative" journalism in the hope someone knows something the Echo cannot find out ie the money man. The fact that no one knows (or at least only a very limited number within the closed circle) is worrying many including our local rag. If you want to know you go fishing. Drop a bit of bait and wait to get something on a hook. Why is someone close to Mike Osman starting such a post. Why are the media fishing by putting up stories of Swiss alternatives? Because they do not know and worry why someone of the wealth suggested is not using Seymour Pierce's experience or someone similar? It is a complaint leveled against another player in this saga! Let us hope the worries become unfounded and our club is saved by Pinnacle and their money man.

You have a problem with that?

Here is what I was told this morning The fans just need to have a bit more patience. Not sure where some of these rumours are coming from (such as 'deal on verge of collapse' and 'Crouch to get seat on board') but anything that is not attributed directly to either Tony Lynam or Mark Fry, or officially released via the OS, is likely to be mischief-making speculation. How true.

If we have an individual as owner as seems to be the case then the board will be advisary and execute the wishes of the owner.

At the risk of bumping this thread Thanks

Thanks Neil (NSS). Your post and the follow up from Tony Lynam should settle a few nerves. For those who may mistrust newer posters, Neil is a good friend of mine and is the fund raising face behind Smile4Rich. Here is a link showing they have a Dinner Gala tonight and Pinnacle sponsor S4R. In the photo are 3 who post on here (not me by the way) but I will not embarrass them by names. http://www.smile4rich.co.uk/fundraising/event-calendar When you visit the link why not read what they are about and make a donation

Apart from a phone call I mentioned on here a while back I have not heard anything more on the subject and my contacts still assure me matters are progressing in the right direction. IF the rumour is coming out of the city I find it strange as no one seems to know who the money man is. There has been speculation on and off the site but I can confirm that Sky have no idea who it is. I have also spoken to a Chairman of a plc with strong connections to the city and he does not know. Bearing in mind he was with LeTissier a week or so ago would suggest to me LeTiss does not know the identity either. I am not too worried by this rumour. Pinnacle were given 21 days to complete. Let's leave them to it and not worry about what we do not know. That is my take on it all.

That was not what I meant WSS. I seemed to have posted something that most did not like or support and I accept that and apologise if I upset anyone. Whatever has gone on before is history now. Whatever I say now on the subject will likely only did a bigger hole for myself so I felt it better to just leave the subject alone. I hope you and others can accept that.

I was told a while back they were up to date but I have since been told we do owe them some money. Not massive but not insignificant either.

Drew is on holiday at present and his family are unaware of any developments. He was told prior to the Pinnacle exclusivity that he might have to be sold to get money into the club but that might have changed now Pinnacle are progressing the purchase of the club.

I am not going to comment further on the subject Duncan. I think it is best that way.

Fixtures will be released on 17th June http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/KeyDates/0,,10794~1357319,00.html

This was coming from other places initially. I had a similar call yesterday lunch time. The information came via someone not involved in the bidding process but that person refused to give any details of why it would fail. I just shrugged it off as these sorts of rumours will happen until the deal is sorted. The signs are still encouraging as far as I am concerned.

Good post. That is how I see it too.

I was not going to post any more until the "pinnacle" bid was signed sealed and delivered as I am happy with what they have to offer so far BUT this vendetta against Marc Jackson is totally unfair. I and a few others know more than we are prepared to say. We know what went on, we know the money men and we know the reasons it has not happened so far for the "Jackson" Group. A lot of the issues are why some on the "Pinnacle" investors dropped out. Many who know what it is all about are very supportive of Pinnacle. But we also know many of the issues. I will take a back seat again and "Pinnacle" have our best wishes and support. All we want is Saints to support in Div 1 next season. Unless you know all the facts, shut up and just support the future of SFC

Good early engagement. Fingers crossed for a smooth takeover and a steady and fruitful future. Well done so far to everyone involved.

Oh yes he did. You do not know what went on. I do to a certain extent and Jackson was a serious and realistic contender. This has not come from him but others also involved in matters. Forget the past.

Well said Phil. Let's have few beers when this is all over.

Correct.

Wow, go out in the garden for a few hours and come back to this great news. Long way to go but it is looking good. What a coaster ride so far. Let's hope for calmer times. Do not know the details but good friends say this will secure a long term future if it completes. Come on you Red & Whites. Well done Tony Lynam. Hard luck Green & Jackson but I know your main aim was to secure a future for our club so I know you will be relieved and supportive. Just hope it has not cost you too much financially to get to this stage.

Buggar, can't get that tune out of my head now.

They were fun times although a little scary when one individual started hacking.

No I told him about our jaunts when I had a drink with him at the forum match.

I do but he has not posted anything on here since Administration and has the good sense not to.
