miserableoldgit Posted 30 April, 2009 Share Posted 30 April, 2009 Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but:- Listening to Radio Solent this morning, it was stated that the administrator hoped to have a bid on the table in the next 5 - 10 days with any possible take-over happening in about a month. Mark Fry also made a big deal out of the fact that because we were relegated it made our value a lot less. I have been fairly upbeat about this take-over malarky but (and it may be just me) this mornings utterances from Fry seemed distinctly down beat.

Yes I was a bit down beat after his contingency planning yesterday as I felt a buyout was not guaranteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Charteris Posted 30 April, 2009 Share Posted 30 April, 2009 Until an acceptable offer is on the table, our future hangs in the balance. Nail biting time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpie the sinner Posted 30 April, 2009 Share Posted 30 April, 2009 Until we know any different, I am remaining hopeful!! too much negativity on here!! this really is a complicated business and if it is done , it needs to be done right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 30 April, 2009 Share Posted 30 April, 2009 A buy-out is never guaranteed when a company is in admin. TBF to Fry he never said he guaranteed to sell the club. But he DID say he was hopeful Thorpie is right it is a very complex process, which is why it is like playing Russian Roulette by going into it. Even IF someone makes a bid there are so many parties that have to agree it. But Fry hasn't said that he has stopped being hopeful, so I'll stay that way as well.

I can understand the situation, you don't pay top dollar for an inferior product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he said he was optimistic yesterday is that less than hopeful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, well in that case gotta be worth getting a bottle of bubbly from the booze shop then. But will wait for "believes everything is on track" or similar before putting it in the fridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted 30 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 30 April, 2009 I think he said he was optimistic yesterday is that less than hopeful? But this was today. As I said in the OP I have been quite upbeat and even excited and optimistic myself but it was just something about the content of todays message that knocked that a bit. After all it has now gone from hoping to announce something before the Forest game to a possible bid in 5-10 days (what happened to us going out of business in 8?) and it could drag on. I hope that it was just my early morning interpretation of things and that all of the big names that are being bandied around can produce a really good buyer for us.
