Paul Allen's back!

 

Gao could turn a quick profit and pay his creditors back, if he could only hijack this potential deal!

Are we still doing this? Aw, the glory days of this forum -a distraction from the bloody football, at least.

The deal is being brokered by the region's top photocopier salesman.

[Maggie May]

Apparently he’s now twice met with Abramovich - looks like it’s seriousky on

 

But I wouldn’t expect him to be a sugar daddy like Roman was at the beginning. He wants a profit, which he will no doubt get.

[Dusic]

He was never interested in Saints, despite the rumours.

 

All IMHO of course.

Taxi Drivers, hotel bellboys, airport workers and hair dressers all placed in a state of high alert

[Pamplemousse]

He already owns three sports teams - Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders and the Portland Trail Blazers, purchasing Chelsea is a logical step for him

Apparently he was, but it was all done through a proxy so that he could deny any interest if/when it ended up not happening.

 

At the time this was all going on, I was a briefly a mod on this board and was privy to certain information that wasn't made public at the time. One of the board admins had a private meeting with a very well-respected director at the club, who informed him that the interest was indeed from a party representing Paul Allen.

Fv ck me, they were the days, whatever happened to good old Mark, or is it Marc now?

Michael Fialka's yacht has also been spotted in the area.

The directors were duped, weren't they?

Possibly.

[pluto]

Paul Allen was never interested in buying Saints, his name was mentioned and then totally used by certain individuals. Who sold sizeable chunks of shares as the price rose, on the PR orchestrated news article.

He wasn't. I know 100% he wasn't and the director who told the board admins is highly likely to be the same one who told someone I know very, very well that there would be a number of names linked with buying the club leaked to the press and fans to try to attract investors and push a couple of people who genuinely were interested at that time. I'm not going to say who it was that told me this but they are someone I have known for over 20 years and was very close to the club at the time.

Truly the end of a SFC webforum legend.

 

Goodbye, mysterious non-saviour saviour. Briefly, we loved you and believed in you, even though you didn't have the faintest idea of who we were.

 

RIP.

[Patrick Bateman]

Jesus, I can't believe he died, he wasn't that old. The 'interest' in Saints was completely made up by certain board members, but FFS, cancer is sh*t.
