once_bitterne Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 The Keith Harris led bid I'd imagine although hardly 11th hour. Great. Barrow Boy Fry is trying to get the Swiss gazumped by Harris (and god only know who is part of his consortium....) I'm sure a multi-millionaire like Liebierr won't take too kindly to being dicked around by the likes of Fry. Can't Fry see that the Swiss bid is the best one for the club and city as a whole.

Which in my eyes means that Fry is making life hard for them and probably ignoring them, it's more Harris trying to elbow his way in. I just hope Fry is concentrating on gettig this deal done.

Saint J 77 Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 Wave 105 are saying there is an 11th hour bid from a rival group????? oh FFS I wish Fry would just take this billionaires money already, it the best interest of the club. If every thing is in place he should just get on with it instead of stalling on a last minute offer that might not happen. I mean considering he keeps saying how at times its looks bleak and it has been difficult trying to sell this club. I would take the money and be done with it!

Hopkins Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 Love the way everyone seems to assume that it is FACT that Fry's job is as easy as "taking the billionaires money and get it done FFS" Brilliant and simple insight into the world of law, buisness and money by people who haven't got a clue.

surrey1saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 The rival bid I mean. I find it very hard to believe that the BBC would have made the statements that they have if this wasn't a 99.9% done deal....just the transfer of funds needed from the Swiss. It is to late for a rival bidder IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 i don't think we can really say it's all ****ed up - we are not sat in fry's office are we? there are so many contracts, so many third parties involved - please stop thinking it's as simple as 1 bit of paper - ''please sign here'' it's not - it's a huge process that will always be subject to delays and last minute hitches. The feeling this time though is that the swiss are the real thing - they're doing this the correct way and if we have to wait a bit longer, then so bloody be it.

And that amongst the shadows Rupert Lowe is lurking ??? Be positive for a change. The deal is done *prays to not be proved wrong like with the Pinnacle fiasco* and it's a case of arranging announcements and tidying everything up, etc. They may be waiting on Mr Liebherr to organise things his end (he seems a busy man!) I do worry who is involved with Harris and laugh at their whinging. FFS. Complain to the football league? About what, you t*ssers? Sour grapes? Losing/Being beaten to the deal?! It's tough sh*t! You had long enough. The administrator decides the best deal, not them. T*ssers! All these British businessmen involved in bids for our club have been found wanting. F*ckwits! They all wanna be top dog although I'd be dubious of Harris, being formerly associated with Rupert Lowe (despite their grievances!) The Echo article is laughable - Seymour Pierce & Harris bleating on to the media outlets cos they had money ready in a bank account, had proved funds and couldn't get hold of Mark Fry. BOOO HOOOO!!!! TOUGH SH*T! Life doesn't always go your way and you don't always get what you want. Deal with it. Tw*ts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintjay77 Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 We'll see.... Rupert's...er....Charlie Sale's article in the Mail yesterday was a blatant attempt to throw a spanner in the works. Unless the FL step in to question the abilities/motives of the former bank manager or BT I cant see how that article could disrupt things. My take on it is that its very easy to publish the anyone but Lowe stuff which the echo and various others do quite well. But anything that seems to side with Lowe must be something that has come directly from him and there cant be any truth in it at all. Someone writting for one of the bigger papers would surly be a bit more careful about what they claim as the effected parties would surely have more to lose when slated in a national rather than just a local. So maybe his piece carrys a bit more weight than just being rupes mouth piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
