Yes sorry -bit slack in the typing and now can't change it.

Fry simply talked about being "very pleased" when Pinnacle went into exclusivity. I think Fry's statement today about being very confident of achiveing a sale in short order is much much stronger - as someone else posted - given the conservative language of an administrator it is tantamount to saying its a done deal.

No you used 'the look at me, i'm important and connected' "I am being told". Be normal - say 'according to the Echo' like Derry.

They want to pay in silver crowns and some old doubloons.

Nah. Your posts have slipped into that "I am being told" carp - which funnily enough, is usually the diametric oppostite of what is happening. Im not interested in your "who knows more people and sources" pi ssing contest.

Thats the point - unlike you I dont pretend to being fed inside info. I dont need the 'look at me stuff'. But I can read. There is one defined buyer , not three in the frame.

Please. Give it up with the faux ITK ness. Read Fry's statement - "we are committed to getting the sale completed with our current buyer"

No.

I think he can - bird in the hand and all that. People can promise all kinds of things to spoil a deal in the making and then renege /reduce when they get their chance. Fry knows this.

Yep, absolutely.

The pseudo buyers. See the trouble people go to to get on talent shows or Big Brother. Here all you need is a 1 page A4 statement about how you are going to buy a club in order to get your 15 minutes of fame. Fry cant publically denigrate any interest, no matter how improbable, but we need to listen better to what he says and hear the code. Saying they havent completed due diligence and havent produced proof of funds is as close to a dismissal as he can go.

Sounds ominously like just another bunch bigging up to the press how they are going to take over. Forgive me if I stick with the Swiss / oveseas consortium - the ones who speak only to Mark Fry about taking over.

His contract should say £3,000 a goal. No basic, no retainer, no signing on fee.

I once e-corresponded with someone who had kissed Carly Simon.

Never mind. Theres always the sister who dribbles.

Dunno tbh. I just remember a thread about him a few months ago. Likes to talk Saints with anyone who goes there apparently.

Jim Steele does own a pub in Moreton. No idea about the rest.

We dont have sufficient strikers and the first game is in a few days. He's free, he's available and he wants to come to a club who might not be able to pay him. Just how picky do you think we can be? Its only a trial ffs

Me too. I think its his excitement - its infectious.

Which is exactly why we didn't play with wingers much imo - we didnt have the fast strong strikers to make it work.

Seconded. And the smiley at the end of each moaning post doesnt make it any more palatable.

You can have them now - take your pick. Damn sight easier than guessing the winning lottery numbers. 1111111 2222222 3333333 4444444 5555555 6666666 7777777 8888888 9999999

You're ahead of Marc, he needed his pumped out.

Can we not just agree that everyone involved in running and financing the club over the past few years bears a bit of the blame, that no-one bears all the blame and that we should just bury this whole sorry mess and try to look forward?
