OldNick Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 I don't remember seeing the Paul Allen thing on TV though, plus there was never anything concrete at all, all the stories were just re-hashes of the first one. My point was that this news has been out 5mins, and it's already on TV so chances are there is more substance to it.well it was on the ticker on SSN all afternoon and other respectable media outlets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it to Ron Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Has anyone else actually seen this on SSN or was it just the original poster? Yes it was on the news sections several times - not on the ticker or tabs but definately on the news sections. Read out by several different readers the last one being the ex Blue Peter guy.

The Dogman Of Bassett Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 As I understand it Rupert Lowe has approached Tom Scott about investing in the club. It is no surprise that the only 'leak' is from a party Lowe is involved with, Daily Mail anyone? The other 3 parties involved have all signed NDA's, so there will be nobody slipping bits of information to Sky, or anybody else for that matter. IMO Lowe is desperately trying to do something at the last minute, please God let him fail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 I have never seen a takeover that was in the public domain actually happen. Yes, I know there are some that were the subject of boardroom battles that were fought in public. Certainly not a company like ours. What normally happens is practically nothing, then all of a sudden it's a takeover and it isn't who you thought it was going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Seen the story once on SSN in the last two+ hours - the way they play the news in an endless loop - tonight's mk dons-northampton match has already been covered 3 or 4 times with in-depth interviews, I think there is very little in the story and SSN knows it.

hamster Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Back when we were being taken over by Paul Allen didn't someone find some kind of yacht spotters website that listed what mega-yacht had been seen where?

Window Cleaner Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 and people from Newcastle saying they won't be going down. They've got that wrong then Atrocious they are, Shearer managing them, what a dopey idea. It's all gung ho and huff and puff but no house blowing down. Still I suppose most of us thought we wouldn't go down either, wouldn't have if we'd delayed the announcement of administration either. Pity they didn't put out and appeal and bucket collections before it was too late, still that wouldn't have been "good form" I suppose. Effective perhaps, good form certainly not.It's not what City Gents do and expect to retain their membership of the Senior service Club or the Drones or whatever..

With connections to Richards and Askham I would have thought he would have invested before administration. He also has made his millions and with little interest in SFC why would he want to start now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
