Echo confirms today is the day :)

No they don't. They think it's the day with no direct quotes, not even from Mr Fry and they even caveat their own story by saying "of course there could be last minute complications".

 

I'll only believe it when it's finally done and on the official SFC site, not here, not the Echo.

I love how everyone criticises the echo but as soon as they write something we all want people decide to feel there is truth in the story. I would be over the moon if it happens today but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

 

Ar its a Wonderful Life... its these stange almost oxymoronic (at a stretch) traits of football fans that makes us so unique ;-)

Definitely no confirmation in the Echo peice or from Solent this morning at 0820.

 

As the Echo peice says:

 

THE Swiss consortium chasing Saints are expected to tie up a deal for the club today.

 

The Daily Echo understands the buyers, believed to be related to Swiss billionaires Willi and Isolde Liebherr, are on the verge of rescuing the St Mary’s club.

 

There always remains the chance of last-minute complications but the remaining couple of glitches are expected to be ironed out this morning so that a formal announcement of the club’s new ownership can be made later in the day.

 

Fry said he was confident of a deal being concluded shortly.

 

Lets hope it is done soon and if it is today then even better. The false dawns and time wasters have been to numerous recently so with some luck, god we could do with some, all will be sorted in the very near future.

What annoys me the most is the bit about Pinnacle snatching exclusivity from the Swiss on the 29th May. We could have been under new ownership before the end of June and ready to tackle the preseason. As it is, we are barely a month away from the new season with so much to be done.

Thank god we have a proactive manager then who has done everything he possibly can under the circumstances.

This deal actually has the hallmarks of a proper one.

 

No self-publicising.

 

No bullsh*tting on this forum (ala lifelongsaint, HelpMeRhonda, Tony Lynam)

 

No plans made public (Princess Towers etc)

 

No statements regarding the manager, when we have one under contract (Jackson, Le Tissier, Fialka)

 

I think this one might just happen.

Just have to be patient because there is nothing to stop a potential buyer from pulling out right up to moment when the agreement is signed. Fry cannot say the deal is certain because no deal ever is until it has happened.

The intervention of Pinnacle, which seems to have been the cause of the delay, is the biggest thing to complain about over this, and its very sad that MLT was talked into supporting it, as it was only his name that gave Pinnacle any credibility. Mr Lynam has a lot to answer for.

Don't worry about Lynam. He was just a skate taking the p*ss, who all too easily sucked Matty in. Move on now Prof.
