John D Posted 30 April, 2009 Share Posted 30 April, 2009 It's a public company, perfectly legit but it's the fact that a lot of the money would be borrowed. If it's that or bust then it's a no brainer. I suspect any deal is going to involve an element of borrowed money - depends how much, who from and what the repayment structure is. Hopefully the benefit now is that no institution will lend to us based on on anything other than League 1 revenue streams therefore it should be serviceable and if we do go back up there will be an upside in terms of additional revenue.

TheSaint75 Posted 30 April, 2009 Share Posted 30 April, 2009 Who's had any luck looking into The Farmers thread last night?? ------- I've made a couple of phone calls following the info I received this morning to try and put some names to the people/companies involved. As far as I can make out there is a Southampton based property agency called Pinnacle who have sponsored local charity golf events featuring Le Tiss. Reading between the lines, and this maybe pure coincidence, but this same company also look after a few London property owners (big hitters) who have been spending money like its going out of fashion lately and who also have strong links with another administrator that they've bought at least 2 properties/concerns from. I've been trying to confirm these details with a contact of MLT's but apparently Matt's playing golf in the West Country. But I am reliably informed that this proposal does have Matts implicit support. As for this 'consortium', as far as I can tell there are only actually only 2 or 3 clients they look after!!! Sounds like an ideal set up for Saints fans to get behind. Anybody know any more?? Couldn't find anything that related to an Agency in Southampton called Pinnacle, I therefore thought it was BS and moved on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 30 April, 2009 Share Posted 30 April, 2009 If it's good enough for Man Utd... If we had 75000 at every game plus their marketing, Tv, and sponsorship it would be sustainable. We don't know who the manager is, who the players will be, how many will go to div one matches, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 30 April, 2009 Share Posted 30 April, 2009 Sir Philip Green's name has been touted on here. He's in retail. He lives in Monaco. Stuff that's been the subject of recent rumours. Oh and he's good friends with Bill Kenwright. It's supposedly a well-known fact that successful businessmen realise their success on borrowed money rather than on their own money. Could it be Sir Philip Green? Would the team have to have 'Burton' on their shirts? After all, we've gone for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person is a household name, the backers a large financial institution. There has been rumours but the person who told me isn't a Saints fan. I won't post it, but I would back it. Even though I have concerns. I suppose a large element of any bid would be borrowed in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a stab, Jamie Redknapp, dodgy Greek money with the candlestick. On second thoughts I think it's the bloke Ken Bates described as a "d*ckhead" He would tick a lot of boxes in the guessing game.
