You know that, i know that, you would have thought the pros would know that. That was my point.

What strikes me is how the hell can we have a squad of professional footballers who DO NOT KNOW WHICH WAY TO HEAD THE BALL!!!! My under 13s can do that already!

Perhaps they would if there were 22000 other people watching the same flick!

Just a quick question from someone who has no idea about these things. Would the price (i.e. £12.5m) not include the Administrators fees (i.e. 11mill for the creditors, 1.5 mill for BT)? Therefore, does it matter what they got paid as SLH did not pay it?

Thta probably works fine when buying a company with a couple of hundred employees. This is different, He has thousands and thousands of very happy saints fans looking up at his window hailing him as the next messiah.

Just to be a real pedant, CHAPS would only be used for UK to UK transfer. IMT or similar for Swiss to UK me thinks.

That was from yesterday I think. Just means the fit and proper test they do.

Sarcoidosis of course!

Nope. Nada. Zip. Other than they are leaving the takeover to 'a team of lawyers' to deal with all the legal stuff. Tch. Amateurs.

Technically Selhurst I guess. Lewes is a city now.

Latest attempt at straw clutching. Do you think MJ & pinnacle dropping out within 2 hours of each other is just the mechanics of paving the way for the new, rather swiss like, owners being announced. Please!

Oh great, a new begining (no matter who takes over) and we are still at it with the damn labels!

To be honest, I am not entirely sure I care right now. I just want to support my team this season.

Something aint right!

Who wants the guarantee? MF won't care, his job is to get the money for the creditors NOW, then he will bugger off. FL are looking at a club just about to go to liquidation. Will they really care if there is a small risk it might happen in 1 years time if they sign. We go to the wall in 1 day if they don't!

not sure 'In Full' is right. I may be wrong but is not just to the creditors satisfaction?

they are just being si11y

Not that much of a habit though is it. He quit Newcastle when they were 2nd in the prem, quit Fulham inorder to take over England full time, quit man City having taken them up from CCC into comfortable mid table and quit Newcastle again due to having Wise put in above him. Perhaps we should be looking for a manger who gets the sack from every job. Obviously he would be a much better candidate!

I was under the impression that the £500k was used to pay the wages etc. Pinnacle had to pay the money inorder to have a club to buy. If they have not paid the £500k, who paid the salaries? LC did it the previous month but I am sure he would have mentioned doing for a second time!

But if they extend past the 21 days, they lose exclusivity, someone else could come in with a better offer, and we have to go through the whole thing all over again!!!

Been taking 30 kids once a year since they were 8 (now 12/13) That was just about right I think, just managed to keep their interest up. No problems at all now (last time was saturday). However I guess it depends on the kid in question.

Similar scenario actually. Company goes bust because its customers can't be ar5ed to shop there anymore as its too expensive for the tat sold.

Firstly, I think you will find that the account is not run by a branch any more, but by a Business Center. No more Mr Mainwairings I am afraid ( In 76, the cup was stored in the strongroom at the local branch for a little while), more like a team of business specialists headed by one or more managers. As for what they know about Football, it is probably the same as they know about window cleaning, pc repair or physiotherapy. Not much but that does not stop them being bankers for those businesses. As for involvement, my experience is that they will probably have a fair bit, with regular meetings with the board. All the time we are ticking along nicely then they will not have anything to do with us, but now the fan is covered in it, they will be taking a close interest in protecting their investment (overdraft). If that means asking for a player to be sold inorder to reduce it by a million, I do not think RL or anyone is actually in a position to tell them to get stuffed. Sad but in light of our current financial predicament it is the way it is imho.

Definately promotion, maybe, possibly, oh hell, I don't know.
