Saint_clark Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Gonna take ages then, if the last drawn out fruitless fiasco is anything to go by. Thankfully (unfortunately?)

Apparently Fry would not confirm who the consortium is. Just hope he gets it done quick and its a good deal for Saints. Still hopeful actually because the club is still being run as a club - just.

Pilchards Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 **** sake stop playing these games Mr Fry, Pinnacle etc. I'm bored of both of you and the sooner we get a professional bid in the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Yawn.... (not at you, of course, just that we've heard all this before) Yes, agree Alpine - it is getting tiresome - and you do start to wonder whether any of these bidders are real or 'ghosts' to flush out a real bidder.

Frank's cousin Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 No takeover today please...got an important proposal document to write, been in the office since 6.45 and this is just too darn distracting - 8.30 now, only an hour to go until they bring round the bacon rolls - or could go to the canteen for a full on FRY up.... If it happens today (FRYday), I will eat my telephone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Bates Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Solent say decision to be made today to confirm takeover. Where have we heard that before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Solent talking about a "statement" from Fry this morning. I think they believe it might be THE statement we've been waiting for, but I am not confident it will be anything other than to confirm he's got someone interested and because we've sold Surman, he can extend the period before he liquidates.

INFLUENCED.COM Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 ? a decision to confirm takover?? Sorry but I just do no believe any of this !!

Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 3 July, 2009 IMO the Swiss. I would say so too. Fry has said Pinnacle have not re-opened discussions yet. ** BUT! Solent also said that when asked if Pinnacle were the bidder, Fry said "not as far as I can tell" or something similar. Struck me as a strange response - I mean surely he f-ing well knows who he's dealing with?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree it's not appropriate. Maybe some folks don't understand how awful the effects of that drug were on new borns, who are still having to cope with horrendous disabilities......might even be Saints fans......so please stop using it....

foghorn Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 This mystery consortium needs to reveal one of their backers. I personally won't be happy unless I know there is someone serious behind this with the right qualifications, you know what I mean, the 40 year old virgin type who still lives at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
