Crouch taken for a ride?

[shurlock]

What we feared? Does it blow the idea that Pinnacle ever had any skin in the game, that Pinnacle wouldnt be making exaggerated claims because they had invested so much?

yes i have feared for a while that the money invested may have belonged to crouch and he along with le tissier have been sucked in, its easy to be blinded when you care for something so much and want to help. i dont blame crouch or le tissier in any way if this goes wrong, which is looking more and more likely. what i dont understand is why anyone would do this if they werent intending to buy the club from the outset. surely they didnt go into this period of exclusivity hoping to pick up the funds from additional backers along the way. its possible that the motive was someone looking for 5 minutes of fame in the limelight but if this is an elaborate hoax that person would then have to face a lifetime looking over his shoulder from many many angry saints fans. if saints do go under this pinnacle bid will be largely responsible and if its found there was never any substance to it and we have wasted weeks in an exclusivity period for something that was never going to happen someone will be held accountable.
