Saint_clark Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Please be right Adam. Seems a strange article for them to right if it's not actually happening.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 FRY pull your finger out-And get it done! FFS!!!!
fanimal Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 They had better be right for so many reasons, pleaseeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! Strange feeling in my stomach, a grain or more of truth perhaps????
saintsfannick Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 cmon finish it stop messing us around, I'VE HAD ENOUGH FFS!
sussexsaint Posted 7 July, 2009 Author Posted 7 July, 2009 Fry doesn't confirm today's the day. TBF he wouldn't would he? but this is the first time , I believe we have had statements this confident
ladysaint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 So the Swiss lot fly in today to complete the deal, I wonder if we can spot them at Totton tonight to see their new aquisition in action.
lordswoodsaints Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 I heard this from my source at the echo last night and although they have nothing official they have been given the 'wink' by fry
Patrick Bateman Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4477832.Saints_takeover_expected_today_as_Swiss_are_due_to_roll_in/ No they don't. They think it's the day with no direct quotes, not even from Mr Fry and they even caveat their own story by saying "of course there could be last minute complications". I'll only believe it when it's finally done and on the official SFC site, not here, not the Echo.
saint_ed Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 I love how everyone criticises the echo but as soon as they write something we all want people decide to feel there is truth in the story. I would be over the moon if it happens today but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Cascadia Saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Finally....................???? Do I go to bed now, or wait up? After the last month, i say bed. maybe wake up to some good news and off down the pub for liquid breakfast..
GenevaSaint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 please please please be true so we can get on with planning for the coming season. Hell we might even buy some good players instead of selling them.
Frank's cousin Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 I love how everyone criticises the echo but as soon as they write something we all want people decide to feel there is truth in the story. I would be over the moon if it happens today but I wouldn't get your hopes up. Ar its a Wonderful Life... its these stange almost oxymoronic (at a stretch) traits of football fans that makes us so unique ;-)
Saint Lindford Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Definitely no confirmation in the Echo peice or from Solent this morning at 0820. As the Echo peice says: THE Swiss consortium chasing Saints are expected to tie up a deal for the club today. The Daily Echo understands the buyers, believed to be related to Swiss billionaires Willi and Isolde Liebherr, are on the verge of rescuing the St Mary’s club. There always remains the chance of last-minute complications but the remaining couple of glitches are expected to be ironed out this morning so that a formal announcement of the club’s new ownership can be made later in the day. Fry said he was confident of a deal being concluded shortly. Lets hope it is done soon and if it is today then even better. The false dawns and time wasters have been to numerous recently so with some luck, god we could do with some, all will be sorted in the very near future.
thorpie the sinner Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 This forum really will melt down if any last minute complcations arise!
sussexsaint Posted 7 July, 2009 Author Posted 7 July, 2009 Yesterday however people were talking about the end of the week or even next so I guess 'something' must have happened to change that
Ashby Saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 What annoys me the most is the bit about Pinnacle snatching exclusivity from the Swiss on the 29th May. We could have been under new ownership before the end of June and ready to tackle the preseason. As it is, we are barely a month away from the new season with so much to be done.
Reib80 Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Really hope this happens today. Getting really frustrated by it all! just want something to happen so we know the club is safe.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 I swore blind I wouldn't be checking this regularly today and then the Echo produces an article like this. F5, F5, F5...

Thank god we have a proactive manager then who has done everything he possibly can under the circumstances.
Wade Garrett Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 This deal actually has the hallmarks of a proper one. No self-publicising. No bullsh*tting on this forum (ala lifelongsaint, HelpMeRhonda, Tony Lynam) No plans made public (Princess Towers etc) No statements regarding the manager, when we have one under contract (Jackson, Le Tissier, Fialka) I think this one might just happen.
Professor Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Just have to be patient because there is nothing to stop a potential buyer from pulling out right up to moment when the agreement is signed. Fry cannot say the deal is certain because no deal ever is until it has happened. The intervention of Pinnacle, which seems to have been the cause of the delay, is the biggest thing to complain about over this, and its very sad that MLT was talked into supporting it, as it was only his name that gave Pinnacle any credibility. Mr Lynam has a lot to answer for.

Toadhall Saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Fingers crossed then - mind you this is Saints! ;-)

Master Bates Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 First press Conference rumour- 14:30 First one was rumoured yesterday via Radio 5 saying 12pm today.

It does feel real this time, but wont believe it till I see it.
Master Bates Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 I asked Pancake yesterday if a PC was due today, he has remained quiet.
