I'm starting to fear the worst, it's all too quiet.

 

If anyone was about to put a bid in there would be more rumours in the press, these sort of things are very hard to keep totally quiet.

 

That could be a sign that things are being done properly?

 

But with this being Saints.. I doubt it.

The worrying bit is the Inland Revenue. They do not agree to CVAs, unless they get every single penny of what they are owed.

 

To this point, I thought we were up to date with them?

 

Minus 10 is not the end of the penalties if this is true.

 

HRMC is not owed enough to be a worry - only £2m - they'll be outvoted by the other creditors in a CVA proposal. Bigger worrry will be the football creditors because without these being paid 100% expect further League sanctions to be applied

I have it on good authority that MLT is backing one of the potential buyers who are willing to inject some cash while they carry on their due diligence...... be nice to hear some confirmation of this....

 

On SSN this morning MLT linked to a property developer with a possible place on the board.

I loved the bit where it said "it is believed" which means the journo hasn't got a fecking clue.

 

 

Actually, sometimes it means the journo has been told something and can't attribute it. Or is protecting their source.

Because it's not going to happen. I'm getting ready to say goodbye to the club.

 

Or perhaps because it's being done properly, without loud-mouth leaks spoiling the party. If the bidders and administrators are serious and are good at what they do, there will be no leaks and no talk in the press before a deal is done.

 

NDA's will have been signed by all involved.

Just out of interest, why will NDA's have to be signed? There's nothing secret here.

NDA's will have been signed to protect the various confidential or sensitive bits of information that these parties will now be privy to (contract terms, employee contracts etc etc etc) and to stop them getting out into the public domain.

 

But IMHO, NDA's do not restrict individuals/consortiums from declaring themselves as being interested in buying the Club (or it's assets).

I agree that NDA's alone wont stop people declaring their interest publicly, I just hope that they buyers professionalism will do that. We have had enough people at the helm who are desperate to promote themselves and get their name in the press, so I'm really hoping for somebody who wants to get things done in the proper manner before going public. I see no benefit in going public with your interest unless you need the publicity to add weight to your bid.

hope something happens Tuesday..........if not my guess is the whole thing will fold.........sad, but reality of situation with credit crisis etc means that any purchaser needing to fund by borrowing will find terms far more onerous than 18 mths ago...... hope for best but prepare for worst!

Anybody wanting to develop the area around the ground (which is what I've heard from someone who does know but is far too professional to tell me - frustrating or what) will have to raise money from the banks - this is never done in cash. This is the major problem. 18 months ago the banks would have lent money to your golden retriever - now they don't want to lend to anyone, except with the most punitive of terms, otherwise I think that a deal would be nearly in the bag by now.

 

By the way, some people have been pretty patronising about MLT. He doesn't deserve it - he's an intelligent guy who has more brains than to ally himself with any old tyre-kicker that comes along.
