MacFad2207 Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Hi. I dont post all that often on here! I have just spoken to a close family member who works with a lot of big south coast property developers. He said he has never heard of these two guys and asked around a few of his contacts who also say they have never heard of them. Pretty safe to say if they are worth knowing they would of heard of them! I think it may be an attempt to force a few potential investors hands into making a move.

Barfy Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 For the less bright amongst us, the above seems to link Quentin Murray Hubbard with Beck Hubbard and hence with the property developer in Guernsey. Maybe our man is not all that successful. Quibec Properties Ltd (currently in administration) is owned by Quinten and Rebecca Hubbard of St Peter Port, Guernsey.

Bevans Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 If he's not a Channel Island native, haven't you got to be minted to get residency there? Basically yeah, you can't buy a house on the normal market (can't remember the exact term) unless you are a native however there are a certain number of properties that anyone can buy and live in. But they tend to cost millions rather than thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancake Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Quinten Murray Hubbard is not a current director of any company according to creditsafe and is a resident of Guernsey. Also listed is a second address at Highnam Gloucestershire. Thats a property he was developing, his home address is in Guernsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying this is wrong, but I don't understand it. If someone has got this far through the process of buying a run down football club, do they really need prompting in this way?

dubai_phil Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Good grief Let's take a step back shall we. Fry has said he is hopeful of some developments today or tomorrow. SSN have been given some names by somebody, if they are late bidders trying to impress Fry and make him delay accepting something from the two due dilligence parties then we have to say it seems to be entirely underwhelming. Fry and his NDA system seems to have been THE single most professional thing that has been done at SMS all this sorry season, so I sincerely doubt that he or his team made any names known. Next up, SSN will be reading some of these posts and saying that Lowe has adaughter called Rebecca who married a cricketer who knows MLT and they have put in a bid to turn the Gasometer at SMS into a "sheltered housing" in order to fund the purchase of Christiano Ronaldo and Robinho next season. We want a professional operation with funds and experience to buy us if at all possible, thankfully, I think the first we will hear about them will be when Fry has a press conference to announce the winning bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintDonkey Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Propert developer ? So they want to knock down SMS and put up flats then :-( I'm with Alps on questioning whether this is good news or not. I speculated a while ago that property developers might be interested in picking up Staplewood and the farm, strip those assets (and maybe Saint Mary's) and then jettison the team. If these guys are in it for the property rather than the football this could be far worse news than even the return of Lowe. This may be signing the teams death warrant rather than saving it.

If I had a number of interested parties and beleived that a njumber of them were dragging their feet I would (in most cases) set a deadline and tell them to get on with it. I wouldn't be that surprised if this turned out to be one potential bidder trying to manipulate others into showing their hands. Sometimes refered to as playing silly bugg3rs.

SaintRichmond Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 I've done a check of marriage records and found that Quinten M Hubbard married Rebecca (won't mention surname here) in South Warwickshire 2000.

corky morris Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 I dont buy this land backed asset strip idea. There is a huge land bank available to buy at the moment without much interest. If we could sell all 3 bits (Marchwood, Jacksons Farm & the stadium) I would be surprised in the current climate to raise much more than £5m (happy to be proved wrong) & that ignores any fixed creditors that we have to pay a percentage back too.
