Why won't the new owner reveal themselves?

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!

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.

 

My bet would be 1)

Little from (1) little from (3) for me, with a little "knows that football fans are not the nicest to Chairmen/Investors that fail" sprinkled on top.

My bet would be 4) it is a Susan Boyle-fronted consortium that had slightly overcalculated the worth of its sponsor due to unforeseen events. I can certainly hear one fat lady singing, anyway...

With you on that, not through any mystical power simply because someone told me that was the case but what I don't understand is the original poster is "as close as you can get to Mike Osman" who is close to some of the parties involved with the club/buyer so would have thought he was asking a question the answer to which he already knew...strange

that were my thoughts, very odd.

Any ideas on why the new owner won't reveal himself?

 

My view is that if this all falls through at the last hurdle then I guess he or she will remain unknown, that way they will not recieve any nasty letters etc. Just a guess!

You did the best thing by going to bed.It was a nold age pensioner trying to make a name for himself on the eve of his birthday.

Noooo, don't even joke about it!

Perhaps they are selling a few assets to come up with some readies, and don't want to be seen as a forced seller...

 

 

You obviously do not know me ...... I WASN'T joking ..........

 

 

 

 

The Devil's Alliance, ie Lowe & Wilde have been FAR FAR too quiet
