Barfy Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Sorry this just will not do any more - just complete the deal today and pay the wages or just go away Mr Lynam your money man has been exposed as a man of straw. You can only be intending to try and buy the club out of its assets but unfortunately a League 1 club is not worth the money stated to be the asking price and so you need a big slug of equity to be inserted as well as funds to get the club out of League 1. I have been supportive and appreciate the PR but I suspect you do not have the cash for the deal. There is only one way to prove me wrong. That told him. If only someone had thought of this approach sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Is Jack PETCHEY and his associates in here somewhere....Just a wild guess....

leehoudini Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Guys all this ridicule isn't helping anyone. Yes we are all frustrated, yes we are all concerned for the football club and yes we want a swift resolution, but the constant need to criticise everyone and everything associated with the takeover be it TL, The Swiss, Fry, MJ or anyone else isn't productive. Without the very people who we are all criticising there may not even be a club, so why don't we try that thing that Saints fans used to do well - stick together and get behind the club. Let's leave the *****ing behind and encourage our prospective new owners to conclude be it Pinnacle, The Swiss, MJ or anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitenred Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 I am disgusted with the character assassinations that I have read both on this forum and in the newspapers. The time to judge is when the deal has been completed or failed. For the love of our club please be patient and silent unless you have something positive to contribute! In MLT we trust!!!!!!!!!! What do you expect when it appears our beloved club supposedly being bought by a man who made about £50,000 last year and still lives with his parents? When his amateur football club was contacted about the alleged takeover it appears that they were shocked that "Micky" was the man behind it. Hardly fills you with confidence does it? Where's the household name we were promised, where's the cash? I am as big a fan as anyone of MLT, doesn't mean it's not possible to pull the wool over his eyes!

Channon's Sideburns Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 I've been saying for ages the Echo is crap for reporting SFC. One day they are positive, the next negative. They are just a bunch of kids in their first job. No offence to kids in first jobs, but the paper always used to have a more balanced and less sensational response to SFC. Is there a sports editor is it down to the ego maniac Murray? I guess it really is about selling papers and not chasing down information and unbiasd reporting. Sadly the plight of SFC has not helped itself either. Lynam was very gullible if he thought the paper and this site would give unconditional support to Pinnacle because of MLT. TBH Neal Butterworth, editor at the Bournemouth Echo is a better journo. Worked with him in the past...top bloke...strange how a paper can be driven by one person but they work down there on truth, not hyperbole lifted from a website.

Polaroid Saint Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 A consortium would be classed as one party, thus one backer. Or is that theory too conspiratorial even for this forum? By it's very nature, consortium members would have to conspire... ...unfortunately that is what so many people fear is NOT happening. There doesn't seem to be anything going on behind the scenes with Pinnacle. I respect the need for NDA's and conducting oneself with decorum, but there is an over-riding sense that Messrs Fialka and Lynam are all mouth but no trousers (no, not that trousers). As someone said; smokescreen? I bl00dy hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on some of the OTT stuff. But if Pinnacle have rolled out Fialka to enhance their credibility, then God help us. If TL believes Fialka adds "weight" and "substance" to the deal, I'm deeply concerned about how he got a visa to visit planet Earth in the first place.

John Smith Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 The delay, with regard to the FL, seemed plausible enough. You could argue one way or the other as to whether these were just delay tactics by Pinnacle and both sides could be as equally valid. The 'unveiling' of MF, doesn't quite give the answers to the 'moneyman', that I would have expected. I'm sure, and you can check this out, that in one of the interviews or statements on here, TL stated that this 'moneyman' would be a household name to some that were in certain circles, or words to that effect. So, I was thinking, maybe horse racing, betting, singing, musicals, etc, ie I might know his name but would know him more for his profession. Now, this FL bloke, what does he do so well, that some would consider him a 'household' name? Perplexing? I am not one that wants to derail this bid, I am also not one who wants this deal to fail OR for a saints legend to be taken for a mug. I'm just calling it as I see it, hopefully, with a balanced view.

Yep, looks like he was at the end of a chain of lies and bullpoo. Don't blame Matt, his motives are/were right. A few questions: 1. How many deadlines have passed since Pinnacle's involvement? Goalposts have moved continually. It does take time to purchase a club but the whole thing has continually rolled and never reached fruition. Why? 2. Why has no one heard of the 'money man' despite Pinnacle's claims that some people would have knowledge of this bloke, supposedly worth hundreds of millions? 3. Has Crouch been taken in as well? If he has been fronting the £500K exclusivity etc? Why would a multi millionnaire willing to buy the club need someone else to pay for this? It does appear to be falling apart and I feel sorry for MLT, Crouch and Lynam, as it looks like they have been caught hook, line and sinker by a shyster. People want answers, not vague posts that say the same things over and over again. If it is all a crock, then move aside and let someone else get involved.

LC will lick his wounds, MLT will still be a hero to us but mortally wounded in the football world for being mugged by a freind. Yes it is too early to put up the epitaph and I really do want to be wrong but I cant see Pinnacle being theo wners unless they apy up the wages etc today.It is not right for us to expect LC to yet again put his hand into his pocket. He should find the other groups andoffer his support to them to see if they can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAndWhite91 Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Good morning everyone Today is going to be a decisive day in the future of the Club in my opinion. Much work is going on as we speak to resolve the legal issues which caused the delay with our takeover. At the same time, work is also being done to put in place a contingency arrangement so that, with the permission of the new owner, funds can be released to pay staffs wages. Whilst the legal issue is more critical, on a more personal note the wages are at the forefront of my mind. I am aware of some very unhelpful rumours and questions about Mr Fialka and his colleagues - he choose to speak out yesterday to add not just substance, but weight to our position, with particular focus on the League issue. That continues to be worked on this morning. Quite where and why these rumours have originated is anyones guess, and I would have to seriously question anyones motives for trying to discredit the guy who approached us to try and save the Club. Needless to say, there is no foundation in any such rumours, as will be demonstrated when this deal is completed. But to speculate that our new owner in waiting lives with his parents is nothing short of ridiculous (not that living with your parents is of course ridiculous). Anyway, from the start of this, I pledged to you all one thing. Unity. And that is what is needed to overcome the obstacles in our way. I will not lower our standards and have a war of words with anyone, least of all a newspaper. That is what freedom of speech is all about - but I have reminded that newspaper this morning that they should do research of their own rather than rely upon others feeding them information before the print inaccurate stories. Clearly we are aware of other groups apparent interest so we are concentrating on the important job of resolving the issues in hand. All the best for now, and keep the faith, its time to complete the deal. Regards Tony Exactly. People need to get behind Pinnacle and back them and support them now. It is stupid to argue at a time like this, and constantly moan. Moan when the prospective owner doesn't show himself, moan when he does. Bloody stupid. I am 100% confident of Pinnacle, keep up the good work Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsaint Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Again - all we hear from TL time and time again is that he wants the FL to back down then he will sign...... I would love his next update to be that they have done the deal - I would LOVE MLT to be chairman but the fact remains that we are in a stalemate situation as tye FL will not back down its their party and they can do as they please.

1976_Child Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Right. This is the way I look at it. Unless Pinnacle sign today and produce concrete evidence that this chap is not some Walter Mitty fantasist then I have lost all faith in this deal going through. There is no way they can get away with taking it over another weekend. If on Monday there is still no deal then Fry should tell them to scarper and stop wasting everyone's time.

slickmick Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 If there are other moneymen involved, why put this guy in front of the cameras ? Know one has heard of him despite Tonys claims he would be well known to some. If there is a bigger name still involved, then why hasn't Tony mentioned this ? Sorry Tony but you cant reveal your supposed money man to the media without expecting people to ask difficult questions about his substance. We have been told there is only one person involved that is well known in some circles, yet you seem aggitated when some question his wealth. If the digging and information that has been produced on here is incorrect then you can easily rectify that. To many inaccuracies have come from yourself which is what is causing concern.

If i had said I was buying it and by paying the money to stop it being liquidated and also preventing others from getting it yes i would, as i was either committed to it or not. It was obvious and many stated so, that you offer at worse case levels and factor in the -10. That would have given them a price they wanted to pay.To go into exclusivity it would mean that the price was agreed by both parties, so job done.

It is dragging on but im not sure Pinnacle have missed any deadlines. They got the exclusivicity and there is nothing to say that a deal will be done by the end of it. And if the reports are correct they are at a stand off with the FL so nothing will happen until one of them budge. 2. Seems we have been fed a few porkys on the money man. He may well have a foriegn bank account with hundreds of millions waiting to be spunked all over SFC but he is certainly not a household name. 3. Its not like Crouch has been taken in before is it? As fans we are all quick to back what we see as the best thing for the saints. Which is why he would probably do better running a football club he was not a fan of. His decissions would be based more about a sound business sense than an emotional fan. I dont want anyone to move aside, I just want someont to be comitted to getting things done.

Barfy Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Maybe my memory is failing me, but see to recall several times where Mark Fry has stated they have given more time to Pinnacle. I imagine the key deadlines are those which require the company to pay money to those owed it. As far as the bid goes, if Mark fry sees it as the only viable option then he will not end discussions If he is not the only money man, why has Pinnacle been saying the opposite? To be honest, I've not paid a great deal of attention to the details of communications from Tony Lynam, but could we be talking semantics here? Be interested to know what the due diligence is, especially when you look at some of the shady characters involved in other football clubs...who exactly does the due diligence? And what are the criteria, anyone know? due diligence means that the parties looking to buy the club must prove they are able to meet the demands of the creditors. I guess similar to you or I buying a house and demonstrating we have finances in place. Eh? I know I don't believe everything I read in the papers, but hasn't Mr Fry recently stated there are other groups in the wings? exclusivity ended a week ago, no-one has publicly come forward yet. They may be waiting in the wings, but if they have any common sense they'll realise that time is a big factor Patience is all well and good, but the new season is slowly creeping up on us...10 points to make up means we kind of need a good start. ...

CWD Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Relax guys and expect it to happen. We need to stay positive. I totally understand that people are quick to be negative because of all the sh1t we have gone through in the past, but lets do our best to get behind Tony and MLT Keep the faith!!!

Bakovnetski Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Take no notice of them TL, please... Saints fans are the biggest bunch of whingers in football... Not so. Just listen to 606 on a Saturday when Manure or Liverpool have lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordswoodsaints Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Tbh I think the club deserves to fold,it's one kick in the nuts after another. It seems whoever has the reigns hasn't got the arms to hold em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 I for one hope that somehting happens today as any credibility we had left is slowly disminishing into dust. I am concerned about TL's motives on coming on here every so often and that his orginal statements are being contradicted now. I am not saying I think he is a fake or a Bull**** just that when things dont add up people are bound to think the worst in him and Pinnacle. Mark Fry's silence does not help.

Unfortunately i feel this is just another charade. Why do we have to be put through this? don't they think we've suffered enough? It's looking more and more likely that pinnacle either don't have the funds, or they are having 2nd thoughts - so they are trying to play the FL card (although valid to a point) - but it's been overplayed. Pinnacle should do the decent thing and pull their bid, because they are now unfortunately seen as an utter laughing stock . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notnowcato Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Today is going to be a decisive day in the future of the Club in my opinion. Much work is going on as we speak to resolve the legal issues which caused the delay with our takeover. At the same time, work is also being done to put in place a contingency arrangement so that, with the permission of the new owner, funds can be released to pay staffs wages. Whilst the legal issue is more critical, on a more personal note the wages are at the forefront of my mind. I am aware of some very unhelpful rumours and questions about Mr Fialka and his colleagues - he choose to speak out yesterday to add not just substance, but weight to our position, with particular focus on the League issue. That continues to be worked on this morning. Quite where and why these rumours have originated is anyones guess, and I would have to seriously question anyones motives for trying to discredit the guy who approached us to try and save the Club. Needless to say, there is no foundation in any such rumours, as will be demonstrated when this deal is completed. But to speculate that our new owner in waiting lives with his parents is nothing short of ridiculous (not that living with your parents is of course ridiculous). Anyway, from the start of this, I pledged to you all one thing. Unity. And that is what is needed to overcome the obstacles in our way. I will not lower our standards and have a war of words with anyone, least of all a newspaper. That is what freedom of speech is all about - but I have reminded that newspaper this morning that they should do research of their own rather than rely upon others feeding them information before the print inaccurate stories. Clearly we are aware of other groups apparent interest so we are concentrating on the important job of resolving the issues in hand. All the best for now, and keep the faith, its time to complete the deal. Regards Tony ......................................... ONE LITTLE PROBLEM wasn't this seriously rich backer supposed to have been known to Lynham? In fact MLT said that he was a close business associciate of Tony.. But Tony Lynham is now saying the man approached him??????????????????????? Spot on, you have highlighted ONE LITTLE PROBLEM. Jeepers, semantics.
