miserableoldgit Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 I'm sure the forum detectives will report back in due course Yep! And we`ll all condemn him before any deal is done and without knowing any facts. It wasn't ALW, Rod Stewart or Jim Radcliffe so we don`t want him! I just hope that we've got a club when the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely Brown Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 Correct and that the said person is worth several hundred million quid. Just had a look see on the Sunday Times Rich list and he isn't on that so difficult to say whether he personally has wealth of hundreds of millions, maybe it is a consortium after all:smt102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 Also I wouldn't worry too much about what google has to say, try searching for Brian Caudwell and see what you get, and I know for a fact he has a personal fortune of well over a billion pounds!!! Not everyone publishes everything they do. Thank heavens those Phones 4 U adverts aren't on any more, they did my nut in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 from Tony Lynam's Latest post I believe in being upfront and open, and this is why I have made it my business to keep everyone from all walks up to date, and I will continue to do so until we close the deal, and beyond. With this in mind, I have asked one of the gentlemen who is putting their hand in their pocket to put his name out in public, and I expect this will happen shortly. seems it's no longer a sole buyer....

W9Saint Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 This guy has obviously impressed MLT enough to back his bid.

Can see absolutely nothing to criticise him about - unless this proves not to be true,but no evidence of that yet I thought he came across well too, totally. Looked very enthusiastic and passionate - which is what we want. But we've all heard the talk. Hell, we were told ''within 48hours'' 1 week ago, and I’m sure meridian or even south today were told last night by a 'Source' close to the deal that it would be done within 'hours'. Talk is cheap...and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Weststand Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 Have to say he came across OK to me but as they say talk is cheap, I'm still not convinced they will pull this off. I guess tomorrow will be yet another D-Day for us. I suppose I'm clinging to the MLT factor in this, in that if he believes in it then there has to be some substance in it. please let it be over by this time tomorrow.

glkdcdes Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 exactly, his actual words were exactly - "I have in fact now entered into this "exclusivity agreement" on behalf of ONE client only. And myself, Matt and others involved are very pleased with that. Gone are the days of petty squabbles. Our one client has SUBSTANTIAL wealth - several hundred million" hmmm, seems all was maybe not what he said, or perhaps things have changed since this original 'message to the fans' Please Mr Lynham as you seem keen to update us, would you mind confirming if the money man put forward today is the same one client with substantail wealth you mentioned previously. I am starting to get unsettled by the difference between presentation and reality that seems to be occurring. I do not mean to sound cynical because i want to believe that you are our saviour, so would be interested in your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Saints Posted 25 June, 2009 Share Posted 25 June, 2009 Just watched him on SSN... Doesn't suprise me that the idiots on here are slating him and Pinnacle to the extent they are. Reality check needed, it was never going to be Richard ****ing Branson. I was quite impressed with what he said, he came across fine and seems confident. Obviously, the big question is now whether they can turn these words into actions and complete the deal. But from what I saw, I would be more than happy with him providing the funding for Matt and a decent manager in order to get us back somewhere near to where we belong.
