stevegrant Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Considering he sold two players for £2.5m in the last week, I'd have thought so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles34 Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 they look **** because they are a new company, they have no trading history and don't even knowe the sector they are in. As for the director, 4 companies, no info, 2 inc this one brand new, the other 2, no info. Maybe its not the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 This is the consortium that Simon Gillett put together. I hope they're not short of money.

ozzmeister Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 http://www.gillico.com/?p=177 This says they're a football design company. Based in the States though, news said it was a British company/consortium right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenevaSaint Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 No basically no one knows. Why is it everyone has the been to slag EVERYTHING off. Its a horrible trait of this site. Agree 100%. I'm waiting for they don't have a pot to **** in comment..... For all anyone knows Gillico could be a front for any number of wealthy individuals. I'm sure it's passed Fry's due diligence in regards to the funds. Doh! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles34 Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Hi Nick, it can't be them. I have looked them up on our credit search file, they have no links, through shareholders or Directors, to a company of any worth. SSN say Gillico Holdings, this could be their trading name with the legal entity being called anything even "Fish Fiddlers ltd" Off out with Compo in a bit … beer time have one for me, tend to agree, i think we've got the wrong company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks very odd......especially with 2 coming back in the frame yesterday allegedly. So we have a shell company started on the very same day we went into Admin.

buctootim Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Sounds ominously like just another bunch bigging up to the press how they are going to take over.
