Gemmel Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 Assuming that things stay to plan and the deal is actually concluded by Friday, what is the process for informing the outside world? Would the LSE need to be told first of all, or the FA? Will we get a big press conference or just press release to all the newswires etc? After today we have two working days, so (fingers crossed) they must be pretty close. Excited but still nervous at this end - Surley nothing can go wrong this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 Wouldn't "they" have had to file list of directors, or suchlike, with the relevant authorities by now? Not sure how 'public domain' such information is before any formal announcment is made. Perhaps a trawl of companies house or similar public database might hold a clue or two?

DT Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 I think we should all prepare ourselves to get no news by Friday. At the start of this process I called for the club to at least do regular updates - say each Friday - if nothing else but to manage expectations. Instead we have had nothing, so the speculation, idle gossip, misinformation and so all has got to fever pitch. And thus the pressure cooker on here will explode if nothing by Friday (which is only a guideline, as I understand it). Such is the way of supporting Saints for the past 10 years or so, its communications skills are pretty awful and unprofessional. The club underestimates this. I'm telling myself that nothing will happen by Friday. If it does, I'll be pleasantly surprised. Such are the benefits available to the pessimist!

The takeover will be of the Football Club Ltd, not the plc, so the LSE doesn't care too much (unless you meant the London School of Economics of course. Also the Football League are rather more interested in the outcome rather than the FA, since we are afflilated to the FL, and one of their members. I actually doubt that much will happen Friday, since it may go right to the end of the day and even into the weekend. There will probably be a press conference on Monday, either for the new owners to announce the deal is complete or for Fry to announce the winding up of the Club.

St Chalet Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 I would imagine that all the ITK's will receive the secret code via text message. They will all meet at the given meeting point (the fabled Jackson's Farm) where a lightly chilled Chablis will await them. They will then rejoice in stories of how the wife of their brother in law was in a taxi the other day with someone who once met MLT to produce their FACTS. Following agreement a new band of Terrific ITK Using Non-standard TechniqueS (TIT****S) will be appointed, and toasted with Cigars and Brandy. Unfortunately for the Tit****s the previous land owner (Lord Lowe of ****-up) bestowed on himself all hunting rights to the said farm and has sent his men on a duck hunt. Either that or a press conference IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
