But why would Forest spend a whole bunch of money when at the end of the week we go bust.

I doubt it somehow. who in thier right mind (in a credit crunch) is going to loan a whole bunch of money against a range of assests that are essntially worthless (stadium with no club) against a business that has already failed once. Borrowed money is not going to be available for football as its too high a risk.

personally I couldnt care if lowe came an bought the club right now. The fact is after nearly 90 days we havent managed to find a buyer. We are 5.5 days away from not having a team to watch. Its getting serious and i want to watch saints next season whoever owns us. In addition we know next to nothing about any of the bids so how can we make an formed choice. Im just praying for a buyer, any buyer.

and how much do you think he will get piecemeal if the club folds? the players can walk for free in 2 weeks - £0 ground with no club is pretty much unsellable - £0 - £3mill maybe jacksons farm - £1mil so any offer over £4mill + add ons for promotion is a deal surely?

Fry is hardly going to stand in front of a camera and say " yes your right we have 7 days to get this club sold otherwise its game over so please someone offer me something / anything." The price will now start to drop IMO as Fry gets desparate to do a deal. if he doesnt manage to get a sale he will get no further business from barclays / aviva in a recession. I think it will go to the wire and he will accept a lower price.

And if the stay away fans decided to support the club in its hour of need we could have 32,000 x £300 = £9.6million job done. This could be done easily by setting up an escrow account with the administrator and if the fans failed to respond the money is returned. surely 10million would allow us to see out th season?

TL seemed to be on here al the time giving updates (sometimes in the middle of the night) but nw we are getting radio silence when we most need some updates. On the other hand if they have no money, who the fook is paying for the lawyers etc to get them this far?

i thuight he meant marc jackson

lets hope he is close enough to the detail

Here is the latest that I have heard as of this morning. Pinnacle will happen regardless of whether they resolve the issues with the league First choice manager is shearer.However he is still talking to newcastle so may not happen. Money to spend this season. The reason they want a big name manager is to get bums on seats and attract decent players. The players have been told they will be paid (not sure whether that means tomorrow though) Source - Horse mouth

I heard Fry took delivery of a brand spanking new Bentley convertible yesterday. Nice to see where all the money goes I guess.

Financial institution in reaping what it sows shocker. Serves them right IMO

ssn hsve just reported that the FL will not back down on thier decision. Pinnacle must agree to not take legal action if they are to be accepted into the league. back to the drawing board then

IMO I think on Monday the FL will all meet up after taking legal advice and back down. There is a set of criteria that needs to be met by any new company taking control of a football club (that much we know with the fit & proper persons test). If we meet that criteria and they are actually as reported only approving the takeover if we sign away our right to appeal then that is a case for pinnacle to sue. If pinnacle decide not to sue and walk away then surely the administrator (on behalf of the creditors) could sue for loss of a sale to the tune of £15 million. Either way the FA are in a lose lose situation. if they were so adamant that they are right then why the need for an emergency meeting on monday? They are running scared and trying to bluff there way through. No doubt they will be frantically seeking legal advice over the weekend. Personally I think it will be resolved.

Im hearing that it is very unlikely that he will come.

My money is an announcement tomorrow that the deal is yet to be completed and more time is needed. Whilst keegan has indeed talked to MLT it is very unlikely that he will take the job.

unlikely that they would run with this if we werent about to be taken over IMO.

Makes me laugh that they failed to mention that he resisted arrest and it needed 7 policemen to restrain him. Apparrently is lawyer told him the only thing that could keep him out of prison was his name / status in soton.

Yeah Im assuming a deal has been done. Gut feel its dowie but i guess well find out soon. MLT knows tisdale but your right offically he cant approach him. Then again I think we all know that noone plays by the rules.

I heard today from my source that all will be revealed on thursday. no details about who had been chosen for manager would be revealed. i do know dowie, tisdale, cotteril and ince have been spoken too but dont know which it will be.

Mlt has already spoken to 4 people about the job. Lighten up we will have a new manager once the bid is completed. Wotte will have some role but not manager

Pointless question, it will be one of dowie,tisdale, ince or cotteril. Wotte will be the academy director.

u guessed it in one

Assuming the Pinnacle talks are completed the Wotte will stay at the club but not as manager. Dowie has already met with MLT but he is waiting to see what happens with newcastle. MLT will meet with 3 others (not got any names yet).

Be careful it could be some wan ker with a torch bringing more bad news
