Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 (edited) About 8.00am this morning...more at 8.30am news... Fry has told them this AM that he is "moving rapidly ahead with a consortium". Mmmm.... Edited 3 July, 2009 by Saint Fan CaM Timeline...
Master Bates Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Hang on..... when was he on? 7.20 sports news was all very vague and no news.
thorpie the sinner Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Hang on..... aha, you got beaten to the thread, stop purving and concentrate on getting the news to us first young man!!!!!
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 That Fry has told them this AM that he is "moving rapidly ahead with a consortium". Mmmm.... Gonna take ages then, if the last drawn out fruitless fiasco is anything to go by.
thorpie the sinner Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Gonna take ages then if the last drawn out, fruitless fiasco is anything to go by. Nothing could be as bad as the Pinnacle fialko!!!!!
Saint_clark Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Gonna take ages then, if the last drawn out fruitless fiasco is anything to go by. Thankfully (unfortunately?) I don't think we have the time for that anymore, and investors must know that.
Master Bates Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 aha, you got beaten to the thread, stop purving and concentrate on getting the news to us first young man!!!!! 25mins ago, open your old eyes http://saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=356967&postcount=4211
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 A question for those actually managing to keep up with this on going saga - Is the 'Swiss Bid' a consortium or not ?

Master Bates Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 A question for those actually managing to keep up with this on going saga - Is the 'Swiss Bid' a consortium or not ? Depends which days Echo you read.
alpine_saint Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 About 8.00am this morning...more at 8.30am news... Fry has told them this AM that he is "moving rapidly ahead with a consortium". Mmmm.... Yawn.... (not at you, of course, just that we've heard all this before)
NickG Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Fry has told Solent he has had no contact with Pinnacle and as far as he is aware they are not back in the running, but is making rapid progress with another party who he refused to id.
Master Bates Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 More on Solent: Only one consortium at advanced stages of takeover but not saying who it is except that it's not Pinnacle. Fry to speak live on Solent this morning. Fry has told Solent he has had no contact with Pinnacle and as far as he is aware they are not back in the running, but is making rapid progress with another party who he refused to id. You heard it this time then
modern matron Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 About 8.00am this morning...more at 8.30am news... Fry has told them this AM that he is "moving rapidly ahead with a consortium". Mmmm.... Just now Fry stated Pinnacle had not had any contact with him...
thorpie the sinner Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 More on Solent: Only one consortium at advanced stages of takeover but not saying who it is except that it's not Pinnacle. Fry to speak live on Solent this morning. I think he should hang on til 2pm!!
sussexsaint Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 I would rather he was getting pieces of paper signed TBH
Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 July, 2009 Author Posted 3 July, 2009 A question for those actually managing to keep up with this on going saga - Is the 'Swiss Bid' a consortium or not ? Apparently Fry would not confirm who the consortium is. Just hope he gets it done quick and its a good deal for Saints. Still hopeful actually because the club is still being run as a club - just.
sussexsaint Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 This is all moving too fast IMO:-) Tea all over computer
Pilchards Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 **** sake stop playing these games Mr Fry, Pinnacle etc. I'm bored of both of you and the sooner we get a professional bid in the better.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 July, 2009 Author Posted 3 July, 2009 Yawn.... (not at you, of course, just that we've heard all this before) Yes, agree Alpine - it is getting tiresome - and you do start to wonder whether any of these bidders are real or 'ghosts' to flush out a real bidder.
Frank's cousin Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 No takeover today please...got an important proposal document to write, been in the office since 6.45 and this is just too darn distracting - 8.30 now, only an hour to go until they bring round the bacon rolls - or could go to the canteen for a full on FRY up.... If it happens today (FRYday), I will eat my telephone..
Master Bates Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Solent say decision to be made today to confirm takeover. Where have we heard that before
Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 July, 2009 Author Posted 3 July, 2009 Solent talking about a "statement" from Fry this morning. I think they believe it might be THE statement we've been waiting for, but I am not confident it will be anything other than to confirm he's got someone interested and because we've sold Surman, he can extend the period before he liquidates.
derry Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Solent just said they expect a decision today, then it is Friday.
NickG Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 More on Solent: Only one consortium at advanced stages of takeover but not saying who it is except that it's not Pinnacle. Fry to speak live on Solent this morning. You heard it this time then 7.20 sports news had nothing, said they were trying to get in touch, 8.20 had what i have posted.
Frank's cousin Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 probably toconfirm Fry is not beginnning a wind up operation today... ;-(
northam soul Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Press conference at 2.30 then. oops sorry. I am going on holiday next week and will have no internet access, bloody typical.
modern matron Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Apparently Fry would not confirm who the consortium is. Just hope he gets it done quick and its a good deal for Saints. Still hopeful actually because the club is still being run as a club - just. Which one o the 2 (not Pinnacle)? Come on now surely one of you must know by now who it is?
Master Bates Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Which one o the 2 (not Pinnacle)? Come on now surely one of you must know by now who it is? IMO the Swiss.
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 ? a decision to confirm takover?? Sorry but I just do no believe any of this !! A representative of the consortium has not posted on this forum, FF has not had a row with anyone from this consortium, GM has not discovered any negative financials in relation to members of this consortium....therefore e-logic would suggest this consortium does not exist
sussexsaint Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Sorry to be a flid but why would there be a decision about confirming a takeover surely it either is or isn't
alpine_saint Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Sorry but I just do no believe any of this !! A representative of the consortium has not posted on this forum, FF has not had a row with anyone from this consortium, GM has not discovered any negative financials in relation to members of this consortium....therefore e-logic would suggest this consortium does not exist hehehehe
Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 July, 2009 Author Posted 3 July, 2009 IMO the Swiss. I would say so too. Fry has said Pinnacle have not re-opened discussions yet. ** BUT! Solent also said that when asked if Pinnacle were the bidder, Fry said "not as far as I can tell" or something similar. Struck me as a strange response - I mean surely he f-ing well knows who he's dealing with?!?
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Sorry to be a flid but why would there be a decision about confirming a takeover surely it either is or isn't That's twice 'flid' has been used on here this morning and as it's a reference to Thalidomide I'd say we could probably do without it .
saints_is_the_south Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Sorry but I just do no believe any of this !! A representative of the consortium has not posted on this forum, FF has not had a row with anyone from this consortium, GM has not discovered any negative financials in relation to members of this consortium....therefore e-logic would suggest this consortium does not exist
saint lard Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Solent didn't state a "decision to confirm takeover" to be announced. They just said they expect a "decision" and they will bring to us,the listeners,first.
modern matron Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 That's twice 'flid' has been used on here this morning and as it's a reference to Thalidomide I'd say we could probably do without it . Yeah I agree it's not appropriate. Maybe some folks don't understand how awful the effects of that drug were on new borns, who are still having to cope with horrendous disabilities......might even be Saints fans......so please stop using it....
Frank's cousin Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Sorry but I just do no believe any of this !! A representative of the consortium has not posted on this forum, FF has not had a row with anyone from this consortium, GM has not discovered any negative financials in relation to members of this consortium....therefore e-logic would suggest this consortium does not exist Humour aside, I think if I was feeling positive today, your statement might just indicate there was actually a serious party that might just might be carrying out totally professional negotiations??? (Positive day surely?)
saint_stevo Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 How can this be? We have not had a single post on here from anyone linked to the Consortium....
The Tango Man Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Here we go again with another take over thread !!! I just love all the suspense and story lines ....Maybe we could make some money and turn this into a soap series !!!!!
Frank's cousin Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 How can this be? We have not had a single post on here from anyone linked to the Consortium.... Must be amateur tyre kickers then... ;-)
sussexsaint Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 How can this be? We have not had a single post on here from anyone linked to the Consortium.... Which is why it actually feels real for the first time ever.
Ian the Red Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 It is not Pinnacle, it is not the Swiss......... It must be Red Bull!!
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 Humour aside' date=' I think if I was feeling positive today, your statement might just indicate there was actually a serious party that might just might be carrying out totally professional negotiations??? (Positive day surely?)[/quote'] Well Frank, if true, they have failed to enter into the spirit of things and clearly have not done their homework on this club and its fan base. Who is with me for a protest march against someone, somewhere, sometime ? ?????? Out !
foghorn Posted 3 July, 2009 Posted 3 July, 2009 This mystery consortium needs to reveal one of their backers. I personally won't be happy unless I know there is someone serious behind this with the right qualifications, you know what I mean, the 40 year old virgin type who still lives at home
