CWD Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 Actually it doesn't. You have to read it twice to figure it out. Crap sentence construction by the Mail. good i thought it was just me - not obvious at all! is it suggesting that KH's bid is worth billions also? terrible article really, but i'll let them off i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 How the feck did pinnacle get infront of that lot ? They stumped up the 500k before the Swiss - a bloody shame though, what a waste of time that was. If they've still been hanging around in the background all this time i think it shows how utterly committed they are to getting us - not just your flash in the pan attempt. really positive feeling about this...

Mole Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 How the feck did pinnacle get infront of that lot ? They offered more money. Simples.

St Marco Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 And delay a Swiss takeover by over 4 weeks We could have had a 4 week head start if true. Complete speculation and probably not true; but i have a feeling that what they planned to do was to try and hold off the bid or maybe get in with the money just. Then once in thy could sell to this group for more money making a profit etc. Maybe the Swiss called their bluff (as they really didn't have the money) and that could of been why they pulled out. Would also fit in with what the FL said. Or that could be just thinking a bit too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. Let's not get too excited yet, there is also this other group right? Gillico or something? (Can't be arsed to look) If it is the Swiss then hopefully we will be moving in the right direction and maybe I'll get to see the Saints lift another cup before I hit 40!

InvictaSaint Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 If anybody with kids has bought Richard Hammond's book about the science of cars, have a look at the picture of the Liebherr T282 - as tall as a small house and over 3000BHP, capable of carrying over 500 tonnes of mining rubble.

Arizona Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 @ all the Swiss avatars. Really hope this goes through though. Aside from the obvious cash, they have thus far dealt with this process (if they are seriously involved) far better than Pinnacle. Just keeping schtum until as and when the deal is complete, rather than publicity stunts and empty promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
