NickG Posted 23 June, 2009 Share Posted 23 June, 2009 Nick G, you disappoint me. I thought you were ITK. I'm also disappointed that Pinnacle appear to be taking the high ground on this and despite Duncan requesting further transparency nothing but nothing has been forthcoming. I'm sorry, but I'm with Duncan on this, I really am. This secrecy about who we are dealing with does not sit well with me. So let us put another possible future board member name out there for you (not the moneyman BTW), and see what Google can do to help. The Guiness, Sears and Taunton School connection is interesting : DAVID DEFTY All IMHO of course and of course NickG will advise me I'm well off course on this suggestion. Morph only post info when I know it to be true, 100% so far, you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkadill Posted 23 June, 2009 Share Posted 23 June, 2009 If that is you, like Farmer, GM, Matt Le God etc, you know who you are, if you are not connected with the bid then can you just tell us who is behind Pinnacle? If not why not? If you are connected can you advise so and therefore be exempt from telling us. I've paid a fiver to be on this forum and i expect (for that kind of money) to be kept informed. THank you. You expect alot for a fiver mate - Remember about a fiver means you can have burger and a coffee, not nessary have the ingridents and marketing low down. Come on..

There would be a list of 101 reasons why an investor involved in such a high-profile, emotion fuelled, complex and fraught acquisition would utilise the skills of a intermediary to do their bidding and subsequently not court, or indeed even consider, putting themselves on public view at the onset of negotiations, or for that matter, after the fact. The reasons you offer for an individual's motivation to be heard but not seen would be the last, and most obscure, of said list.

I don't doubt Tony's genuine desire to help, but I've seen nothing to convince me of his professionalism. I have to respectfully disagree. Intermediaries are standard practice in all major corporate acquisitions. Football is kind of different as headline hugging ego's seem to hog the process in preference to good old fashioned business practice. Every Tom, **** or Harry the Arms Dealer (the names have been changed to protect the guilty) can splash their money and their name about in the press by 'buying' PR - but serious, good intentioned, driven individuals would conduct business in the age old fashion of creating a highly skilled team around themselves to achieve their goal, and letting them get on with it whilst overseeing the operation away from the front line. I think the fact the individual's wishes have been respected thus far smacks of a far more professional approach in comparison to previous scenarios we have endured.

Well done, despite fierce competition I reckon that is the most absurd comment yet on this topic. Of course you are entitled to an opinion but for heavens sake base it on facts and not some ill conceived notion that this takeover has not been well managed. Tony Lynam has actually kept us informed which is a rarity for us fans. Just let things take their course, we are all anxious for this to be resolved but quite frankly criticising our prospective saviour is really not the way to go.

MusicMan Posted 24 June, 2009 Share Posted 24 June, 2009 OK. Here goes. IMHO with no inside knowledge or facts as such just reading on here could this be close to what’s going on. Right back at the beginning MLT said he would support anyone that would take the club forward. Pinnacle saw this as an opportunity to get the fans “onside”, why they need to be onside I will come to later. LC has always made it clear that he would like to be the head man at the club but got into bed with RL and MW who had other ideas. Back at the start Pinnacle said that they had problems when their consortium walked, this left them looking for a new money man, step up LC. We all know that LC has an amount of money but not enough to buy the club but enough to show others that he was serious and enough to pay some solicitors and accountants also enough to bankroll the clubs wages for a couple of months. Next they need to borrow the money this takes time to set up (like buying a house you maybe ready to go but the bank has to transfer the money into you account) so a little stalling is required start a roomer about a fans favorite player/ manager becoming involved, KK, buys a few more days, oh and lets pick an argument with the FL this will buy a few more days. When the money goes into the bank TL and LC can sign and get the keys to the sweet shop, but if this is the case a load of interest will add up daily, so to make the club look as an up and coming investment it is essential that promotion come the end of the season before LC’s money runs out, hence why getting out of the points deduction is so important. When promotion is gained at the end of the season shares in the club can be offered to the fans (hence fans need to be kept sweet) the money raised from this should be enough to pay off the loan, allow TL a nice handshake so he can go back to running his own business again and re-pay LC the money he has spent but still allowing him to hold on to the keys. This is just my thoughts. Probably not like this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow_Saint Posted 24 June, 2009 Share Posted 24 June, 2009 David Defty will be helping the new consortium develop certain areas of the new set up, but he is not part of the actual consortium. In other news, keep your F5 button in sight today folks, it will come handy a little bit later I will take mine to golf later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintbletch Posted 24 June, 2009 Share Posted 24 June, 2009 There would be a list of 101 reasons why an investor involved in such a high-profile, emotion fuelled, complex and fraught acquisition would utilise the skills of a intermediary to do their bidding and subsequently not court, or indeed even consider, putting themselves on public view at the onset of negotiations, or for that matter, after the fact. The reasons you offer for an individual's motivation to be heard but not seen would be the last, and most obscure, of said list. The Farmer, are you speaking from some kind of in-the-knowness on this? i.e. the individual WILL want to remain hidden from public view even after the take over? Or are you simply stating that there are reasons why someone MIGHT want to stay hidden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 24 June, 2009 Share Posted 24 June, 2009 He's a busy boy alright Mr D.A. Defty Blimey....Is that some kind of world record for dissolved and/or liquidated companies?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Posted 24 June, 2009 Share Posted 24 June, 2009 Blimey....Is that some kind of world record for dissolved and/or liquidated companies?! To be fair David Defty probably specialises in distressed companies just as Pinnacle are said to specialise in distressed properties. Might be 2+2 = 5, but I'd imagine that's the link.

Or are you simply stating that there are reasons why someone MIGHT want to stay hidden? I keep being told that the money is an offshore holding company. I dont know if that would be possible to get past the FL being so or in fact it is anywhere near the truth or possible. Perhaps the people who know about such things could enlighten.Would if this is the case, the peoples names behind it not be published? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red and White Army Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 b You guys are pathetic. No, let me rephrase that: posts like this, calling a man who's trying to buy/save our club a "lurker" or "scared" or as others have said "tyre kicker" are outright STUPID and incredibly disrespectful! I think it is painfully obvious who the outright STUPID one is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
