Polaroid Saint Posted 28 September, 2018 Share Posted 28 September, 2018 Paul Allen's back! Gao could turn a quick profit and pay his creditors back, if he could only hijack this potential deal! https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/roman-abramovich-new-contender-emerges-13322423 Are we still doing this? Aw, the glory days of this forum -a distraction from the bloody football, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 28 September, 2018 Share Posted 28 September, 2018 The deal is being brokered by the region's top photocopier salesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie May Posted 28 September, 2018 Share Posted 28 September, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 28 September, 2018 Share Posted 28 September, 2018 He was never interested in Saints, despite the rumours. All IMHO of course. Morph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 28 September, 2018 Share Posted 28 September, 2018 He already owns three sports teams - Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders and the Portland Trail Blazers, purchasing Chelsea is a logical step for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 28 September, 2018 Share Posted 28 September, 2018 He was never interested in Saints, despite the rumours. All IMHO of course. Morph 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.

pluto Posted 28 September, 2018 Share Posted 28 September, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.

CB Fry Posted 15 October, 2018 Share Posted 15 October, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted 15 October, 2018 Share Posted 15 October, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
