trousers Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 Usual apologies for a new thread but this is the question bouncing around my head at the moment.... Is the term 'consortium' being used in the sense that this Fialka chap has 'x' number of people contracted together as an official/committed group or is his 'consortium' a more casual arrangement of friends and associates that he intends dipping into as and when? A little voice is trying to tell me something..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 I was trying to make this point earlier,i'm not convinced that the fella in the spotlight now is the only "moneyman" Yes he maybe the main contributor but i think he has some associates who maybe on the periphery of the deal,that are also willing,and able,to assist.

But are they contracturally 'signed up' or is this some sort of gentleman's agreement. My gut feel tells me the latter, hence I'm not convinced....

My gut feel tells me the latter, hence I'm not convinced.... See,the timing of his "outing" is a weird one,the deal is not in the bag,by far it seems,but it was deemed nesessary for him to come to the forefront to try to allay fears,which were obviously growing especially amongst us riff raff on here,that the deal is still progressing, but he did it in a manner that does not leave me convinced that he is the sole "investor". He came across that he is conveying other persons ideas/plans aswell as his. He maybe the ringmaster but he isn't the single proprieter of this bloody circus.imo.

And maybe this lack of ownership transparancy is troubling the Football League too perhaps....? The timing is indeed odd...especially as it gives rise to more questions than answers, at a time where we, and the FL, need more answers than questions...IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 Did everybody miss this bit of Tony Lynams post earlier or what I believe in being upfront and open, and this is why I have made it my business to keep everyone from all walks up to date, and I will continue to do so until we close the deal, and beyond. With this in mind, I have asked one of the gentlemen who is putting their hand in their pocket to put his name out in public, and I expect this will happen shortly.

trousers Posted 25 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 25 June, 2009 Did everybody miss this bit of Tony Lynams post earlier or what No, didn't miss it. But, alas, it doesn't answer the question that I pose in this thread. Is it a 'contracted in' group of "gentlemen" or a more casual arrangement?

saintalan Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 Is 'one of the gentlemen' singular or plural? i.e. 'is putting their hand in their pocket' referring to 'one' or 'gentlemEn'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint lard Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 (edited) And maybe this lack of ownership transparancy is troubling the Football League too perhaps....? The timing is indeed odd...especially as it gives rise to more questions than answers, at a time where we, and the FL, need more answers than questions...IMHO Exactly. This bloke looked as if it was an act of desperation than a comfortable run of the mill "takeover in progress" kind of deal. He is not only acting on his behalf, but others also. I don't think he could finance the deal himself. He want's it too happen,for the reasons and probably the right reasons, stated in the interview,but i think he is trying to convince others in "his" consortium to complete. I believe there is a "gentlemens" agreement that the whole consortium will be united,but under strict agreements made by them,and that those agreements are being determined by the Football League,and we are still awaiting a conclusive clarification by them. Therefore stalemate. Edited 25 June, 2009 by saint lard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there's alot to be said for reading things through and not taking things at face value. This does indeed look to me that there is more than one person backing this bid, which is in stark contrast to the original letter which stated 'One backer / several hundred Million' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
