CanadaSaint Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 It's hard not to view the sale of players as being anything other than life support - buying some time in the hopes that one of the parties will complete. I don't think it would be happening unless Fry was fairly certain that the Pinnacle bid is dead as a doornail. They'll probably blame it on the negative reactions of fans and media because it won't be their fault of course. While the inflow of funds buys Fry some time, it sure as hell doesn't give us any chance of a decent start to the season. Sickening days indeed.

thorpie the sinner Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 If the Pinnacle bid is dead in the water, I hope they have the decency to announce its death this morning! at least it will end the uncertainty and we can move on! the way it has been dragged on has been nothing short of disgraceful and farcical! We are owed that much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the end of Saints is nigh.......then why aren't these clubs waiting another week, when they can pick up these players for nothing.................answers on a postcard please.

Give it to Ron Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Well the one bit of 'good' news is that old Monkeyhead on SSN this morning ruled himself out of the Saints job. He wants to stay in Thailand as coach of the ladyboys.....did a quick interview with Jimmy Case who said Matt is what the club needs. Nothing new unfortunately......

CanadaSaint Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 As long as we're meeting contractual obligations we'll have the right to set a reasonable price and get it - even while we're being operated by an administrator. The clubs who want those players will pay a reasonable price or lose them to another club willing to pay the price. We're not quite at the fire sale stage but obviously very close to it.

I understand that.........but if I run a business, and the choice was, pay £1m for something that is widely available, or possibly get it for free in a week......I'd take a chance.

PLEASE:p I'm a positive kind of guy but I haven't seen even one good sign in the past ten days, just a continual worsening of the situation. The Swiss didn't make a move yesterday and Pinnacle have gone deathly quiet. Now we're selling players before a new owner arrives, which strongly suggests that there's nobody out there right now. I don't think the club will die, not with all the proven potential, but it seems clear to me that we're going to go right to the brink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to stay in Thailand as coach of the ladyboys.....did a quick interview with Jimmy Case who said Matt is what the club needs. Nothing new unfortunately...... Hmm this could be significant GITR. I could read this as the usual manager merry-go-round PR nonsense that Reid was desperate to join Saints and has now been informed that he is not going to get the job. Therefore he saves face and doesn't risk embarrassing and annoying his current employer by distancing himself from the job. So it could be that we're moving closer. Then again...

This is a good point. Perhaps the signing on fee of a player on a Bosman free would be similar to the transfer fee and this way the clubs control the situation and avoid being in a Dutch auction?

Roger Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Okay, today is really crunch time imo. Matty said on saturday that it would go through possibly monday and at tuesday at the latest. Well tuesday is here now so I hope matty was speaking the truth. The guy is my hero and have kept faith with him, but if it doesnt happen today I will feel very let down. With fry saying he doesnt have faith it will happen, I think its time for pinnacle to update us and if it isnt happening then be honest and say. Matty may have been let down but he should know that to say it will be complete by tuesday you would hope that he would have concrete evidence it would happen, as he was effectively putting himself on the line. The fans deserve better than this horrible last couple of weeks. Of course if it does go ahead today then I take evryhting back, but am in a state of panic now as all we are hearing is very bad news. Please clarify tony. We deserve that and have been patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 I think I will stay calm until the end of today. If nothing happens then it is clear Matt LeTissier has been led up the garden path and used by a manipulative Lynam and his so called investors. This delay has led to the breaking up of SFC and the damage done in the last week or so may well put off other investors. In my opinion the fire sale is not for wages but a pool of money for the creditors as the club is broken up and liquidated. Salz may be able to pick up the pieces but I doubt in Div 1. Difficult to stay calm isn't it!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
