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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_ed Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 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.

Saint Lindford Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 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.

Ashby Saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 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.

Wade Garrett Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 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.

Professor Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
