Master Bates Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 (edited) It's gone 10am and no announcement. I'm also going grey Edited 21 July, 2009 by Master Bates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 It's been all over Solent news this morning and the FA have stated there's no problems. To think the Skates deal would go t*ts up was pie in the sky stuff - doesn't mean they will not go belly up in the league this year though ala Newcastle.

Fergie Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 pretty sure we are still richer though... althogh not sure how much this arab guy is worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 The deal is no longer being done through Al Fahim’s investment vehicle, Al Fahim Asia Associates. Instead, the UAE national will personally finance the takeover, believed to be valued at around £60m ($98m). Is that Poopy value or the investers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 There's no way he's paying £60m. He'll be paying a nominal value and assuming control of the remaining debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrimd Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 Didn't Mikey F pass the fit and proper test?????? Is that the actual news thats being reported i wonder. Interesting how the price has remained the same (£60m) despite £30mill odd of players have managed to escape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFC Forever Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 I am quite pleased because that means they will have no excuses when we give them the stuffing they deserve in the near future. Our time is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 So he's scraped his pennies together then, though I note that the league has approved him but have said they will be monitoring any changes....meaning they will be asking questions if his legal problems escalate, or if perhaps a mystery investor suddenly pops up in the background thinking the coast is clear. I wonder if the non-doctor may be on his credit limit without the torturer's backing, it should be an enlightening transfer window. If he doesn't spend within a week then we will all know that the game is up - he doesn't have the finance for the team or a ground, but if he does spend, then we know that he can clear the debt and move the club forward. And he needs to spend BIG if he is serious about keeping them in the Prem. Either way, we will be reunited soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clapham Saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 It is done and dusted now. An agreement in principle is NOT done and dusted. It's close but it's not finished. By the look of it it may complete (which I previously said I though was unlikely) but it still doesn't seem "right" to me. Either taken over or in admin by the end of the week.

Clapham Saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Share Posted 21 July, 2009 Would that work if 'a demand' has already been put in ? If the bank has formally demanded its money back it doesn't automatically start any form of insolvency procedure. The bank would need to appoint an administrator, which, assuming that Std Chartered are the QFC they can do very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
