Ian the Red Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 I have been told by an employee of SFC that the Pinnacle takeover will happen today. Furthermore Hoddle is the front runner to be manager. Source has been reliable in the past...... but not always 100% right There was more info from MLT on Sky yesterday and here is the link: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11700_5405966,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 I'm beyond being bothered about who the manager is at the moment, and the Hoddle issue is long-dead to most, seeing as we stuffed them plenty and got him the sack too... though as Pinnacle's stated goal is to unite the fans, I'm thinking this is cobblers.

matthieu Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Yet another Ex-England manager linked with pinnacle If rumours are correct, we'll have Keegand as DoF, Hoddle as manager with Sven Goren Eriksson as his Assisstant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 I'd be more than happy with Hoddle as Manager, although it's hard to be bothered about who is in charge at the minute when the club's future is still uncertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red And White Barmy Army Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 I don't see why every1 on here seems to be over-reacting so much. The situation cannot possibly have changed before DMG's sale. Pinnacle were still sorting out matters with the FL when the deal went through yesterday and I doubt the Swiss' decision (whatever that may be) over buying the club would have influenced the decision to sell. The deals for Kelvin and Surman have been bubbling along for a while i suspect. The fact that we seem to have got a good deal for DMG seems to point towards the directors of SFC sorting out that deal. If Fry was to do it then Forest would have surely thought they could get away with paying £0 next week if SFC folded. As far as I'm concerned the situation today is the same as it was when MLT issued his statement on Saturday. I will be alot less confident if nothing materialises before 5pm however.

Sheaf Saint Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 I don't believe for a second that Hoddle would be the slightest bit interested in giving up on his academy (in spain is it?) to manage a L1 club. He has stated in the past that he is more than happy where he is. Sorry, as happy as I would be to have him at saints, I just can't see it. Not calling anybody a liar as I'm sure this is being passed on in good faith, but it doesn't add up to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN MY DAY Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Hoddle a bit to much of a fancy pansy to cut it in L1 me thinks. He didnt do to bad bringing Swindon through the division as my memory serves me, Dont label me a Lowe luver but if he had stuck to his guns and not listened to back page campaigns and fan forums and re-appointted Hoddle theres a good chance we wouldnt have ended up were we are now.

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 MLT doesn't like Hoddle from when he was England manager, why would he appoint him?

And of course, had the old board not shown undue haste to get into bed with the owners of a small retirement homes business, instead of waiting a short while to review what the two or three other consortia rumoured to be interested in us had to offer, then there's also a good chance that we might not have ended up where we are now.

saintjay77 Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 MLT doesn't like Hoddle from when he was England manager, why would he appoint him? I dont think MLT thought much of Lowe but while he was in charge he never said anything bad against him. He seems very diplomatic IMO. I wouldnt have thought MLT would turn to Hoddle but stranger things have happened. I would be more amazed however if Pinnacle actually complete the deal than MLT brining in Hoddle.
