SaintRobbie Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 Some good news coming at last. Stanley we've have 35 confirmed offers and 4 serious for weeks lol! I dont know why everyone has been negative. We're on our way back... just need to poo poo any Lowe-life efforts to return even if it is indirectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on our way back... just need to poo poo any Lowe-life efforts to return even if it is indirectly. 35 people expressing an interest is a bit different to 35 offers to buy the club! Hopefully the two bids are from people who have completed the due diligence thingy, then we might be cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_ed Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 I can't help but think something was lost in translation with the Wotte interview. I believe that he was talking about offers for players rather than offers for the club. Failing that he probably meant approaches so hold your horses people. While the Matt link is potentially very exciting I would be keen to find out if this consortium actually have any substance to them or whether they are just using his name to hide the fact they don't have enough money to make a difference. Sorry for potentially dampening any spirits, but our hopes have been dashed FAR too many times and I would just urge a little caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah - no one asks if a club is for sale if they dont intend to buy it if the price is right. But I agree, looking better every day. We have always had people wanting to buy this club and frankly should have been sold a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIke I said elsewhere, MLT is involved in this consortium, but there are several other guys also, two of which are the "money" men. They have the same opportunity as the other consortium(s) so its down to Mark Fry at the end of the day to look at thier individual cases. Just because MLT is invoved doesnt make it the best bid. There are are strong links to Souness being having a bid too, so wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I fully believe Matt has been contacted, however my question is are they making this public now as they don't actually have any money, so are getting Matt in as some sort of compromise. Maybe its the cynic in me, however with Saints I have learned to be skeptical until I know the full picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to play 5-a-side with him in Fareham about 10 years a go. Super fella, but not a Saint. Really surprised he has anything to do with an SFC takeover, but there you go.

Dalek2003 Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 I hope the MLT bid is using Matt as a front man and we have more financial and business power behind him.... I am sure this is correct. What's more I hope that other consortiums would consider uniting behind him. MLT is NOT a man to run this club but he is a figurehead we can unite behind to move the club upwards. I am excited if this is true. Fundamentally, it would keep Lowe out of the club - even via indirect influence - which (whether you like Lowe or not) will create friction, disunity and lack of confidence and may result in further relegation. MLT as a figurehead will also attract a decent manager. MLT has the fans on side. If this happens it may be the best thing to happen to the club for 20 years. I'd rather have unity and moral and the will to make the club work than Lowe's mates continuing the slide, regardless of funds. .... MLT may get his statue afterall.

But the good news is that if Wotte is right and that a bid has been received then we are safe as a club unless it is withdrawn.

Well Im not going to say who it is, but from the diggin I have done, yes they have money, yes they have prominent commercial experience so I would hope they are capable of helping us "kick on". The question of I would be happy, well Id be happy with anyone at the moment. But saying that it will be down to Fry to make the choice of the options avaiable and not the fans. But Im hoping the fact that MLT is on board is a good sign. But please dont get too excited, because nothing might come of this if the administrators dont like the deal. We have had the Dubai thing, Paul Allen and now this. Too good to be true? or another pipe dream! There is this deal and one other for definate!
