Trousers, I don't know this. Lowe could well have plans of his own or the administrator may block others it if he thinks it is not in the right interest of the people to whom the club owe money. I do not know anything and I am 100% surmising here but as you know I am incredibly suspicious of Lowe's motives and he will be anxious to rescue something out of this which, as things look, must be fairly embarrassing for him not to mention costly..

I accept that excuse. However I still think your sarcasm inappropriate but perhaps you and Fos1 need to have a private chat.

Steve as you know Fos 1 why did you not go down the pm route with your sarcasm? He might irritate you and maybe you don't approve of his relationship with LC but I did feel last night your response incredibly negative especially as you were not prepared to inform your fellow forum readers yourself.

Thanks Ron - like you said I had already heard from a couple of sources (inc Fos1) that something was afoot. I spoke to Fos1 and we agreed it better to say nothing because the sources were a little vague. It was only when you rang I felt confident enough to post. As you know if what you post does "come off" you are liable for a "kicking" on here and indeed "Rory" and "Hypo" were initially doing their bootlaces up last night. It is a fine line and one I note Steve Grant was not prepared to take last night despite his claim that he was in possesion of the same facts as us.... and it's his forum!!!!

Please don't tell me you were also with St David and Life long?

Nick I wouldn't not reveal something because of Steve but I do think that having poured scorn on what I and Fos 1 were saying last night he could have at least held his hands up today and acknowledged he was wrong. Like everyone else I am uncertain about what will happen next. (I am no longer in contact with LC because of something I said on this forum - although I gather he was at SMS this morning - so any info does not come from him). However, I believe there are some good people out there who care for the club and they probably realise now is the time "to put their heads above the parapet". Whether or not they can deliver, or will be "allowed" to deliver is the million dollar question. We have had so many false dawns I am reluctant to raise hopes but reassurance can be felt that there are at least people trying. I am sure now the cat is out of the bag things will move swiftly.

See posts nos 23 and 36. Hasn't had the grace to apologise yet either

Tbh Trousers I wonder if I should say anymore as when I do it is belittled by the very person who is responsible for this forum.

Thanks for that - I must admit to being nervous starting this thread last night, in case it was wrong, but my view is and always will be there is no point having this forum unless we are prepared to share as much as we can with each other. At the end of the day it seems we, the fans are always the last to know but the first to be asked to put our hands in our pockets.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Echo rang the wrong number to be honest. The club fed the Echo last night with this story and I smell a rat!

You have a point. Lowe's biggest mistake was coming back I think. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Care to comment further, Rory?

Sorry 19C - I am not that much in the loop - guess if its true we will find out soon enough. I heard last week we had been rescued by a father and son combo but it looks that what they offered has not been good enough. Again I must stress I am not in the loop but just hearing this from those that are. Could be a massive joke but I for one would not think it is funny.

Sometimes Steve, its best not to pull your gun from your holster too quickly! To be fair to you.... that lesson took me a while to learn also!

True 19C - but I hear there is also a board meeting later in the day.

Steve - I think you leapt to conclusions a bit fast there, and you were wrong. None of this has come from LC whatsoever. Move on from 2008 mate!

With respect mate, relegation now is the least of our problems

The luxury of being able to choose exactly when wasn't available - there were and still are last ditch negotiations going on and FL deadlines then become secondary.

I think there was feverish negotiations going on all last week but today Aviva and Barclays finally pulled the plug or turned down what was on over. I think the deadline bit is a red herring to be honest.

Lets hope this post doesn't come back to haunt you

Hearing tonight from more than one source there is going to be major (but unfortunately negative) developments tomorrow, starting with an announcement at 7AM re the shares. There are some last gasp negotiations going on which have been circulating for several days but it seems hopes are now fading and it could be administration by this time tomorrow. Hope I am wrong but I would not post this without being reasonably certain of the facts.

Shame!

T'was a cracker though!

There has been a lot of grapevine gossip over the last 72 hours and perhaps IF it is true is why we never went into administration last week.

I believe the club came extremely close to going into administration last week but someone from outside the club took financial steps to prevent it happening. I know no more - just a whisper on a grapevine.
