Was thinking tongue in cheek that Fry would ask Wotte to stay while they find someone else to buy the club but in reality if this one falls through will they bother? bit late in the day when they could just get rid of any assets on the cheap and be done with it.

Bearsy Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 In the old Currant Bun today they said we might be "taking a step closer to bankruptcy" this week, and be in the Blue Sq next season. I thought it seemed a curiously negative and speculative piece, but maybe they'd heard a whisper that the MLT bid is going tits up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 Why would they pull out this close to the finishing line? The Tony L statement indicated one buyer, committed to the club. So why the change of heart? Creditors making last minute demands? Show stopping issues which have only just come out? (Surely too late in the day for that) Issue away from the club that has affected our benefactor? Very curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nineteen Canteen Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 In rides Leon Crouch and the Pledges unless a few start tucking into some humble pie and embrace Jackson and Green or even the Swiss connection. All is not lost if this spurious rumour is true but certainly begining to see why administration was such a good way of getting rid of our nemesis Lowe.

Alain Perrin Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 Anatomy of a rumour. Person A tells Person B, Person B then tells Person C. Person C tells Person A who can now tell Person D that he has "heard it from two separate sources". I'll believe official or named sources before I believe unnamed ones. Perhaps that's hope, but it is certainly based in experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Surely too late in the day for that) Issue away from the club that has affected our benefactor? Very curious. Not really, happens during due diligence. The Canadian company looking to buy GM Europe are apparently close to pulling out. Buyers perogative if after the survey you don't like the results or risk/rewards you keep your powder dry for another day. Rich and successful individuals don't become such by blowing a few million to satisfy some deluded fans who failed to support what coud have been a going concern. l Lets hope its not true.

derry Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 It may or may not be true, but it certainly is the most critical time for this particular deal, as it is put up or shut up time when the talking has to stop and the money transferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
