northam soul Posted 19 May, 2009 Share Posted 19 May, 2009 As i posted on the other thread it states Crouch has funded some of the wages both last month and this which is on top of the 50k he put in. Pinnacle say they are still working on it and are still confident. Also says Fry has re contacted Jackson and co and that an overseas consortium remain very interested. It goes on to say that Crouch has taken a lot of stick from fans but at the end of the day he is the only one who has dug into his pocket. Cant argue with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo headlines: Pinnacle bid still running Crouch funding players wages Talks in deadlocks also "The Echo understands Fry has been in contact with the consortium being fronted by Marc Jackson & Stuart Green for the first time since they lodged a bid for the club" Being cynical, I would ask the question why? I do hope Mr Fry didn't put all his eggs in only one basket or Didn't like the bid value at the time and something changed or They didn't prove funds or He didn't like/believe them Seeing as they had a publicised meeting on 7th May seems a long time not to talk to a bidder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 19 May, 2009 Share Posted 19 May, 2009 Leon Crouch has lost a considerable amount of money already with his SLH shareholding now worthless and the guy is still putting his hand in his pocket trying to keep the club going - a true Saints fan and a top bloke in my view .

I wonder if he will be given the apprporiate level of respect if we end up finding a buyer, since it is almost certain his contributions (HIS, not Lowe's, not Wilde's, not the players, not Illingsworth's and his rabble's) will have allowed the club to survive and bridge the gap.

I think it is more along the lines of the Pinnacle group knowing they are the only realistic offer and know in the end the club will be theirs for what they are offering not what the creditors are asking for. I doubt very much they are worried about the Marc Jackson bid, after all it's been in for ages if it was any good surely they would be preferred bidders atleast by now. I also believe Mark Fry knows this which is why the deadlines keep getting reset. IMHO the Pinnacle bid is more than liquidation is worth but less than the creditors want. It will be accepted soon.

I thought the 30 were wittled down to just 2 or 3? Surly until a perferred bidder is decided then all groups should get equal treatment? Its no wonder that the deadline keeps getting moved as Fry hasnt got any other options either because the others wernt good enough (if so why was the 30 knocked down to 2 or 3?) or he hasnt kept the other partys in the loop. Hats off to Crouch and he will get much more respect than any of the others if its true about him paying the wages. I think the other main partys should be dragged out of there dark corners by there balls and made to share the load of keeping the club afloat for the time being.

saintjay77 Posted 19 May, 2009 Share Posted 19 May, 2009 Fry has to create the illusion that its not a one horse race. fair enough but all he had to do was to talk to the MJ group throughout and make it known he was discussing things with more than 1 party until he has a perferred bidder. Each bid would have been aware that there was another and therefor may have got there fingers out. As it is Fry has been speaking to 1 bidder while knowing there is another that wants to talk. Pinnicle knew this and also knew that fry wasnt speaking to anyone else. Its like Pinnicle got the exclusive preferred bidder status without getting to the next stage and now Fry has to back track to try and get them to hurry up.

Foxstone Posted 19 May, 2009 Share Posted 19 May, 2009 I commend and thank Crouch for his generosity and activity in helping to keep the club alive during these dark times. Additionally while I would not object to him having a non-key decision maker role within the clubs hierarchy, I would still seriously baulk at the thought of him having a key decision making role though. As generous as he is, he remains a part of the successive failures of recent years and I very much wish to see an entire clean sweep at board level. Nevertheless to place on record - Thankyou Mr Crouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly be a big feather in CRouch's cap if this is true and he would deserve all the respect that goes with it. As Crouch seems to have loads of money it does not seem a problem for him to give it to SFC. But obviously he can do with it what he wants . However in the long term he does not seem to have enough to save the club. Why I wonder is he not involved with the Pinnacle bid where they appear to need a another backer?

Crouchs "donations" are being reported in The Echo, so whilst you can argue about the general accuracy of the press, it is a bit more than just a rumour. It has stated that Crouch has "declined to comment on the story or the specific amounts of money involved" and I suspect that even this will split people. The anti - Crouch bunch will say that as he hasn`t commented, the story must be false, but if he admits it the same people will say he is doing it for self - publicity. He can`t win can he.

dubai_phil Posted 19 May, 2009 Share Posted 19 May, 2009 Not doing anything except recalling what I've seen on here, but think it is only ONE lot that Crouch has paid We are all fairly sure that Crouch paid the April wages (even it hasn't been published in the Echo), possibly as a secured loan in some way and many of us have thanked him for that gesture as it kept us alive and the players responded with that magnificent performance at Forest.....

Evil Monkey Posted 19 May, 2009 Share Posted 19 May, 2009 If one is being optimistic, this loan from Crouch could be pivital in getting the ball rolling again with Pinnacle. They clearly had reservations about stumping up the cash before securing the club, so perhaps this will clear at least one of the stumbling blocks. Thank you Leon.

Dont think FC was trying to have a dig at Crouch. And doubt there will be many others that will have a pop at him either cause he is the only one of the 3 that is doing something positive for our club. But I understand where FC is coming from in that all we heard was Crouch is paying the wages. The majority of people jump up and say how fantastic that is and carry on with there daily stuff. We have been told before that Crouch is ready to put his hand in his pocket and its been spouted about like he is ready to throw his money at saints and all things red and white are great. its turned out in the past that he has offered loans or only offered money if the others bend over and take one for the team or various other conditions. I got no problem with the conditions but our usual perception of his actions are usually happy clappy because he is a fan. If Lowe ever did anything it was scrutanised by 90% of the fan base, suggested there was an another motive, not believed and certainly not applauded. Im not suggested Lowe did anything to applaud but just think that there are different treatments for each of the main 3. Say for instance this story about Crouch paying the wages had Lowes or Wildes name in there instead of Crouch. would this thread have as many people blindly thanking him and suggesting he had place in saints history forever more for being a true fan? I say again though. Hats off to Crouch because no matter what conditions there may or may not be, he seems to be the only one of the 3 that are interested in keeping SFC afloat.

ART Posted 19 May, 2009 Share Posted 19 May, 2009 There has never been any doubt that Leon Crouch is a true fan, just that in the management of the club his heart has resulted in getting the better of his head and judgement. The fact that he is footing the wages bill shows that he is confident of a deal for the purchase of the club going through. What's more I believe he must have some involvement or is backing the Pinnacle bid. Fry would be making contact with other bidders in order to try and broker a deal between various parties joining forces or buying various assets in a combined deal to satisfy the creditors. The Academy, for example, is something that could be sold off separately and be run as a separate entity. It has all the facilities and could function independantly in the way Glenn Hoddle is doing in Spain. Maybe Hoddle or one of his backers is interested in acquiring the Academy. What's important is that Fry is given the time necessary to come up with a good deal that will also see the club, stadium and Academy go forward with strength in future.
