Badger Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 Any ideas on why the new owner won't reveal himself? Its against the law to "reveal yourself" in a public place. Perhaps its a condition of his parole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint J 77 Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 Do we actually have a new owner yet? Nothing is signed yet it could still not happen. It’s been very quiet since Pinnacle entered the exclusivity period. As much as I want this to happen and to have a new owner perhaps whoever they are decided not to revealed themselves in case they choose not to go through with it? I know they loose £500,000 but with Saints I would not be surprised if it still didn’t happen. Now there is supposed Swiss interest if this deal does fall through and you can bet that will be the next failed takeover to follow this one and so on. Sorry I have become a cynic over the last few years of waiting for a takeover to happen. I just want it signed and sealed this has dragged on far too long. If they do sort it then out then I’ll start the guessing but at that point I would guess the new owner will probably make themselves known to the fans. I think it will be anyone we will have heard of before although it would be nice to be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 IMHO Three options 1) It is a business person who is successful, OR some form of equity/property fund. IF something goes wrong by maintaining silence there is no impact on their business reputation (eg avoid a Jacko scenario) 2) There wasn't one but they were still looking when they found the deposit 3) It is a household name who doesn't want to be named as it would make all the smaller creditors, players out of contract, players/manager/coaches being targetted want more money out of them.
