Not today then...

[Weston Super Saint]

With the bank vaults now firmly shut I'm guessing there won't be any Pinnacle takeover today.

 

Since MLT said Monday or Tuesday, I guess if it doesn't happen tomorrow then it's over to MJ :shock:

[the scud]

Yep can takeovers still happen late in the night tho?

Think MJ faked his death then for life insurance to be our buyer then?

 

...Sorry it had to be done

[eurosaint]

If nothing happens tomorrow, put your money on the Swiss !!

[krissyboy31]

I'm beginning to think it will end up with the Salz rescue plan.

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

We won't be saved...

[chocco boxo]

We are doomed, Pinnacle are a ****ing waste of time IMO!

[Leslie Charteris]

Fry's fall-back position to be announced Friday? (It's got to be Friday!)

I thought it was going to be Tuesday anyway meeting today with FL

 

Contract to buy Saints on Tuesday

[Yate Saint]

I have a feeling Pinnacle wont do it in time. The other consortiums must be in a position to complete a deal in the next 24-48 hrs. Whoever is in the lead, I would get a move on! Cos you might lose, and we want to watch football matches with Saints in next season.

[Ewell]

I have been away for the weekend only to return and see nothing has happened and the same dross being repeated over and over.

 

The only worthy item of news is the sale of one of our most talented home grown players. There is nothing like sticking the knife in and twisting it. :smt098

[Mole]

This is Saints. We never do things the easy way.

You must have missed the "classy as f*ck" Swiss bird in the white suit thread then ???

[captain sensible]

One of them represents, another, who represents another, who in turn represents another, and if you keep going, somebody may have some money. The whole thing smacks of tyre-kicking bullsh!t!

 

Today, tommorow, it will definately happen..... yawn......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

:smt082 Best bit of news to come out of St Marys for a long time. £1m. Still can't get over that.

£1m for Donkey McGoldrick - are you being serious?

Didn't we buy him from Notts County?

[sotonswan]

We won't be saved...

 

I know you're taking this badly, so how about I GIVE you my spare TOTTON ticket, when we get there.

 

I don't even believe Friday is as final as Mr Fry makes out. With player sales, it is quite possible to limp over the starting line of the first fixture, and then it is up to Saints fans to keep the club going week by week via their attendances.

 

Clubs have certainly started seasons in admin. I don't see why Saints can't. I think the FL will let us play (starting at -10 of course).

 

It won't be pleasant. These things never are. But the game is not over yet. Not by a long way.

[70's Mike]

Fed up with the whole thing.

why let DMG and AS go if Pinnacle have money?

surely MLT could have sold them the brave new world.

Echo friday night will be notice of the appointment of a receiver

[Fitzhugh Fella]

Waiting for Le Godot?

[saintjay77]

Fry's fall-back position to be announced Friday? (It's got to be Friday!)

 

I thought if a sale hadnt been completed by Friday Fry will be speaking to the SFC directors to disgus the options. Dont think we will hear anything about it till the Monday at the earliest if it goes that far. But it would be a fair guess to say that if we go that far with no buyer we are buggered!

Give us some photos, please.... :cool:

[buctootim]

I thought it mildly inappropriate for the boardoom, but who am I to judge?

 

[exit2]

For me if it dont happen tomorrow I think we are up the creek! Depending on if the FL give the money from the sales of DMG /Surman, we might be able to fight for another month and hope someone else comes in. But Im very surprised it has got this far considering the legal things that have to be done to get to this stage. My belief / hope is fading

Is that the new home or away kit?

Will be interesting to see the lads on tour in Weymouth next year ;-)

Yes but we need a team unfortunately and we will lose more players than we gain.

 

From looking at BBC and SKY websites other teams are building their sides and all seem to have managers.

 

God knows how long it would take Pinnacle to get in a manager

I'm assuming you mean Surman rather than McGoldrick ?

[Smirking_Saint]

DMG is a good player, and will continue to improve.

 

Get ready for another cheap loss to bite us all on the ass

[VectisSaint]

Clear that McG wanted to go, spiritual home and all that. If you recall he almost went before. So if Fry can get £1m for someone who was going anyway (£1m on the books, even if not cash in had because of embargo on transfer moneys) then that is very good business in my opinion. He could have walked in 1 week for nothing anyway, perhaps Forest are bigger mugs than I always took them for, or perhaps Forest are clear that the takeover is going to happen, why else would they have stumped up a million for nothing.

 

In any case McG is not what we need in Division 3, and really was not that good in the CCC, so no great loss. We need fighters, and he was a pussycat.

Agree completely with the first para actually Vectis, i must admit when put like that i can see the benefits !!

 

However, i DO think he will be a loss, he looked much more at home in the middle of the park towards the end and had a great season for port vale when he played there (their player of the year) i think we will miss him, i agree i think he was a little lost up front (but this could be attributed to bad creativity, team etc as i said before) but with a holding midfielder he would have been good.

 

Lets hope the anti brigade are proved right (not a dig) and if so i will humbly admit i was wrong, i fear however he will prove another big loss.

Bad creativity does not equal missing open goals and penalties though!

I wasn't saying it would have been good if he had stayed, but our priorities will be to get some brute ugly strikers, someone like McG would have added some gloss, which we can do without this season. I suspect with the right coaching he will become good, but he will also likely flourish in his home environment - one of the drawbacks of signing young kids from other clubs, they tend to get homesick.

Maybe tomorrow, Jack?

I must admit, if he misses 1 and you put him up again it can be regarded as silly, but he missed... what 5 times ?? Someone surely should have warned him off penalties !1

 

[CWD]

It's ok, it will happen on friday im sure

[LostBoys]

Anyone running a book on whether they will complete the purchase tomorrow as promised by MLT? I know which way my money would be placed and I am not holding my breath waiting for this one.
