Clifford Nelson Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 The FL will not under any circumstances change their mind, and today's empty space that we are all staring into is the lack of change and the time it takes for them to answer Pinnacle's letter all over again. It is a terrible abuse of power, as Mark Fry says, but that is nothing new, and nothing directed especially at Saints. Why would FL care if Saints didn't compete next year? They would only promote another club or run League One with a team short. Let the truth sink in: THIS IS OUR CONCERN, NOT THEIRS! My consideration of eating an old hat if they change their mind seems less and less risky for every hour that expires. I'm getting increasingly convinced that Jim Ratcliffe is the man behind this, because he is used to playing hardball, taking things to the wire and squeezing blood out of stones. I don't think he can believe that things aren't going to change, but then he's never dealt with the FL before. I just want to get back to football and all the normal boring discussions.
The Worm Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 need to take the -10 points and get on with it imo
Popester Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 I wonder how many hours of industry the country has lost since this saga has been going on ?
Whitey Grandad Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 I wonder how many hours of industry the country has lost since this saga has been going on ? If people didn't keep posting unnecessary comments then we wouldn't have to keep on reading them.

Just got in from a job and waiting for update from Tony. First thing this morning he gave me a little bit of background with regards the new set up and then said today would be a very important day. With many of the plans already in motion I took it that this was the cue for the completion by tomorrow, but I'm still waiting to hear an official release.
sussexsaint Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Another day without progress slips by.... Do you really think NOTHING has been happening?

Have you heard the problem with the League may go deeper than just the 10 points?

Cheers Farmer....any time in the next 30 minutes would be handy - thanks
alpine_saint Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Do you really think NOTHING has been happening? Nothing of any substance ? Yes. Someone somewhere is utterly deluded about their ability to get the FL to compromise...
Matthew Le God Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Farmer, will anything be made public today do you think? Even if completion is tomorrow.
trousers Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Have you heard the problem with the League may go deeper than just the 10 points? Here's hoping that's not a rhetorical question...
alpine_saint Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Your working hours must be pretty short. Me, i've just got back from lunch... No, my working day starts about 5:30 your time.
alpine_saint Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Have you heard the problem with the League may go deeper than just the 10 points? I reckon we are going to get a 25 point deduction.
Andyb1 Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 No, my working day starts about 5:30 your time. Go back to bed then...

You can't just say he's given you a little bit of background and then not share it on here. There are some people not getting any work done at all.

I suggest he gets the money into the bank so wages and the HMRC can be paid. When does the players representative contact the Players association to talk about the clubs breach of contract with them for not paying their wages? that will be the next crack in the fans and players relationship as soon as that happens, something else we all cant afford.
itchen Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Another day without progress slips by.... I know the feeling. I haven't got much done today either. Maybe you'll have more luck tomorrow.

suewhistle Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 I reckon we are going to get a 25 point deduction. That's unlike you to be so optimistic..

alpine_saint Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 That's unlike you to be so optimistic.. And so unlike me to be wide of the mark,too. I really cannot believe Pinnacle are wasting time on counter-proposals to reduce the 10points. The big delay has to be about preventing the extra 15.

alpine_saint Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 I really cannot believe that you know what Pinnacle are wasting time on. Fair enough, stick your head in the ground then.
The Farmer Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Have you heard the problem with the League may go deeper than just the 10 points? I think there were a few 'grey' areas concerning the FL that were holding the process up. Once they are clear to both sides, its fait accompli. Farmer, will anything be made public today do you think? Even if completion is tomorrow. That is the vibe I took from Tony after speaking to him early doors, but I know there were the last couple of details to finalise today.
SO16_Saint Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Fair enough, stick your head in the ground then. in the GROUND??? OUCHY. Sand would be less painfull!

Evo Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 I could be on the toilet or up to my nuts in my woman for all I care, so long as it happens... What now? If so, that's jolly poor form
itchen Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Fair enough, stick your head in the ground then. Charming. I'm not sticking my head in the ground but, because I am not privy to the discussions, I'm not jumping to the most dramatic conclusions either.
slickmick Posted 24 June, 2009 Posted 24 June, 2009 Fair enough, stick your head in the ground then. Most have stuck theirs in the oven.
