Wade Garrett Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Unfortunately, I gave him every chance on the basis that even yesterday Matt was confident of the deal. As far as I'm concerned he can crawl back under his rock. The only difference, it would seem, between him and Jackson is that he managed to get money out of Crouch to pay for exclusivity. As far as I am concerned they are a pair of time-wasters. I hope his appeal not to give Fialka any grief (in case he changes his mind!) is one that falls on deaf ears. At least Crouch and Matt have the club's best interests at heart. It would appear that not many others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaroid Saint Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 TL: "We truly believe that with the right backing, we would have made a difference." And that there was the crux of the problem with Pinnacle from Day One. I, with the right backers, would have truly made a difference too Tony! That's what everyone was asking you to disclose, that's what you said you had, that's what you failed to show, that is why some (easily ignored) abuse is coming your way.

Draino76 Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Quoting Tony Lienam; ""And what little hope that remains of them maintaining an interest is not helped by unjustified abuse, no matter how frustrated we all are."

derry Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 If Crouch put up the money to allow the exclusivity that surely should have rung alarm bells. I am fed up to the back teeth listening to people who have little in the way of wealth pontificating. It's time to shut up, stop digging and leave us to get on with our lives without relatively impecunious dreamers making veiled suggestions that they might be back. Either shut up or sign up we need no more pronouncements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints foreva Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Southampton red bulls , now thats a joke. lol If there is any truth in that rumour.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull_GmbH The company has also been highly active in association football (known as "soccer" in some countries, most notably the United States). On April 6, 2005, Red Bull bought the Austrian club SV Austria Salzburg and renamed it to Red Bull Salzburg, a move which has been heavily criticised by supporter groups within Austria and across Europe. In 2005, Red Bull purchased the MetroStars, a team in Major League Soccer representing New York City but playing its home games in New Jersey, from Anschutz Entertainment Group and renamed the franchise Red Bull New York. The company is currently building the team a new stadium which is now scheduled to open in 2010. In 2007, Red Bull established the lower-division Red Bull Brasil team in São Paulo. Most recently in June 2009 the company has purchased the football license of German fifth division club SSV Markranstädt based near Leipzig. The club will take up play in the 2009-10 season as RB Leipzig and the company has stated that their goal is to advance to play in the country's first division Bundesliga within ten years. I believe they all have the same club badge aswell and the Red Bull sign as their sponsor. I hope and doubt there isn't any truth in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaroid Saint Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Did they EVER have any backers thats what i want to know ? No evidence that they did, what-so-ever; apart from succesfully completing due-dilligence and convincing the administrator that there were funds in place. Which, when you put it like that, is quite convincing. It's one of Rumsfield's 'unknowable unknowns' now, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 100% agree with Duncan as always. Im sorry Tony but you cannot expect people to have nothing but nice things to say to you and Filaka. You had no money and never looked like you would get the money. It was clear you used many different delaying tactics in an effort to try and buy yourself sometime to look for someone to put that money in. You might not like it but that is the same as a conman, someone who pretends to have something and lures in people into this false world. You said yourself numerous times that the deal was as good as done and would be completed today,tomorrow and the next day. Why say such things if in reality you actually knew you had no money and nobody was there to back you? As with Fialka how can people expect him to have millions and millions if the guy's company makes just 20k a year and he lives at home with his mum? That is not having a dig at him but at the sheer lunacy of the thought someone in that position could have hundreds of millions of pounds. It is no different from my nephew living at home with my aunt but he earns 20k from being a manager of a store. If someone said he was going to buy the club for millions everyone would know it was bull****, so why is this any different? You both played with fire and got your hands burnt. You deserve all the negative remarks being thrown at you both. You obviously have a lot to learn about being in buisness if you think people pull out of multi-million pound deals because someone said a negative remark...

If neither Le Tiss or Lynam will divulge exactly what the FL want that was unacceptable to 'their backers' they can't be surprised if we draw our own conclusions ie there were no problems with the FL just with the backers.

(I saw the brief posting over the w/e and I'm not sure that it constituted proof in and of itself). No it didn't - I was trying to flush Lynam out and it worked inasmuch he rang me and told me he was calling the police blah blah blah. However if the email he sent Fry at the end of April appears to be non genuine then a whole new can of worms opens for Lynam. I have been asked to sit on the e mail a little longer by someone who I respect and I will do that but afterwards I can re-post. Mind you the damage is now done - I think we all accept Pinnacle to be a sham so what I proove won't help SFC anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Smith Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Snippets, previously posted by Tony Lynam: 1. Good morning everyone 2. Today is going to be a decisive day in the future of the Club in my opinion. 3. work is also being done to put in place a contingency arrangement so that, with the permission of the new owner, funds can be released to pay staffs wages. Whilst the legal issue is more critical, on a more personal note the wages are at the forefront of my mind. 4. I am aware of some very unhelpful rumours and questions about Mr Fialka and his colleagues 5. Needless to say, there is no foundation in any such rumours, as will be demonstrated when this deal is completed. 6. Anyway, from the start of this, I pledged to you all one thing. Unity. And that is what is needed to overcome the obstacles in our way. 7. I will not lower our standards and have a war of words with anyone, least of all a newspaper. That is what freedom of speech is all about 8. but I have reminded that newspaper this morning that they should do research of their own rather than rely upon others feeding them information before the print inaccurate stories. 9. All the best for now, and keep the faith, its time to complete the deal. Regards Tony Just to add my points, I have added numbers to the quotes. 1. It was, but it isn't going to be tomorrow. 2. Yep, you're not wrong there! 3. this alarms me the most, Crouch paid the staff last time, the sales of DMG will pay the staff this time obviously the 'new owner' wasn't that concerned about them after all. And I bet the wages not being paid is the least of his worries now! These 'new owners' have stung the staff the hoped to employ and they walk away without any of this sh*t sticking because they are nameless wonders! 4. rumours or truths? Getting found out is every conman's worst fear. 5. So, this means there was foundation to these rumours as the deal will not ever be done! 6. So are we more unified? This was the one thing promised! 7. Why announce to them this latest update and then ask people not to elect for their right to freedom of speech and tell these pinnacle people exactly what we think? Isn't that freedom of speech? Tell me why we should treat them with kid gloves? 8. Looks like researching this Pinnacle group didn't go far enough, by Tony OR the newspapers! 9. Yeah right! These people should be named and shamed! Why, because they are apparently 'businessmen' who can't do business. They have pretended to be taking over a 'business' but were incapable of doing so. Many on here challenged their capabilities and not once did they prove anything. For me, these so called backers, are either the worst business men in the world or Sk*tes! Lastly, the reason I am so upset and disappointed, isn't because we may have been duped or conned but because these faceless wonders have possibly allowed staff lose their homes, their holidays, their self respect. Working for nothing. I'm sorry Tony, but if you were conned like SFC was conned, why not name them, they've made you look like an idiot. Mark Fry, are you here to sell the Saints or switch off the lights? Thus far, your 3 biggest buyers have been Pinnacle, Marc Jackson and some mythical Swiss consortium/business/group/company. I think maybe you need to analyze your capabilities, because I am seriously doubting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
