Timescales/Pre Season Tomorrow

[Saint Charlie]

Well the FL meeting will be held tomorrow. Assuming as TL expects, the "issue" to be sorted out, could the takeover be completed tomorrow? In theory it could as it was close to being sealed on Friday but for the FL issue. If not tomorrow then how long? I am 100% confident in TL and his team and know they are as frustrated as we are that it hasn't been completed as yet.

 

In addition, the longer is goes on the more drivel we have to listen to from those suggesting Pinnacle won't conclude the deal or Jackson telling everyone more of his "Once upon a time" stories. This rubbish only serves to disrupt and is potentially damaging, especially for a so-called Saints "fan" who acts as anything but.

 

The players go also back to pre-season training tomorrow. Wotte is unsettled, who can blame him. Reports suggest he may have signed for the Egyptian team, although he said otherwise. It is however, unlikely he will remain at SMS much longer.

 

MLT/Pinnacle clearly have people in mind on the coaching front (Dowie, Keegan, Tisdale etc) and really need to impliment things soon. If Wotte was to leave then we could be left with no staff almost, not a good start to preseason.

 

Then there are the contract talks of Kelvin Davis, who would be a great first signing for the new owners. He seems to want to stay but nothing can be sorted till Pinnacle take charge.

 

So really time is of the essence, even more so now than a few weeks back. Norwich have already signed 3 or 4 players have our squad has been changed (I can't say weakened) with the news that Euell has probably decided to leave.

 

We can't really afford much more of a delay, the first pre-season match is not too far away.

 

So lets hope the FL don't cause any more problems than they already have and we can thank Tony and MLT and Mr X, get our club back, get a decent manager, sell loads of season tickets and start planning for a successful season!

 

So much to do and so little time...

Nigel Pearson was only appointed by Leicester on 20th June last year, equivalent Monday this year being tomorrow.

 

You are right need to get things sorted but I am sure they can't wait!

I think this meeting will take the best part of the day. I'm not sure how much Pinnacle will be involved in that meeting as it is a FL meeting. Whatever, if Pinnacle agree to the outcome, then I think we can expect an announcement sometime on tues. I wouldn't hold my breath for an announcement tomorrow.

 

That's just my feeling.
