alpine_saint Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Don't we have a deadline when all this must be sorted before we go out of business? And a deadline by which we signal our intent to take up our League 1 place next season, presumably...
NickG Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Fry can't force them to sign on the dotted line if they are still bargaining. The date will be decided by external factors, and it is going to be a mighty close thing - whichever way it goes. read it again and see what you missed!
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Good news but I would prefer some confirmation that this is not related to the Fulthorpe fiasco. Fulthorpe is apparently a property barrister and I get nervous when things like property developer/magnate/entrepreneur are mentioned anyway!!! Not Fulthorpe Seen the names.
lancelot link Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Thought you were the Pinnacle Director? LOL!! I do know some things about them though, but cant say too much! Watch this space is all I can say.. or phone them yourself!!:smt041
Mole Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Not Fulthorpe Seen the names. When are we likely to be put out of our misery in your opinion?
hypochondriac Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Not Fulthorpe Seen the names. As the ultimate foreteller of doom what are your thoughts on the names. Are they seriously rich (over 500 million) or relatively poor? What are your thoughts on their abilities to run the club and also keep the fans happy. Thanks FF.
hypochondriac Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 For anyone who is interested. Phone the mobile number on this site http://www.pinnacleproperty.net/contact.htm if yo want anything confirmed. With thanks to lancelot.
OldNick Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Not Fulthorpe Seen the names. Duncan your lack of enthusiasm shines through, or am I reading it wrong?
Mole Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 For anyone who is interested. Phone the mobile number on this site http://www.pinnacleproperty.net/contact.htm if yo want anything confirmed. With thanks to lancelot. Ha Ha, never again. I rang up tommac when he was posting on here and i never felt such a plum.
hypochondriac Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Ha Ha, never again. I rang up tommac when he was posting on here and i never felt such a plum. Worth a try though. You don't lose anything and you don't have to tell anyone on here that you rang . I rang Saint David once. That was not an experience I want to repeat!
NickG Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 :confused:would someone who has followed the pinnacle thing do a summary - I'm bit lost as to where they came/come into it??? :confused::confused::confused::confused:
hypochondriac Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 :confused: :confused::confused::confused::confused: Search the posts made by the farmer.
lancelot link Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Summary (my guess for bits I dont know!!!) Farmer actually did a new website for Pinnacle, thats presumably how he knew bits and pieces.... Farmer therefore knows Lynam at Pinnacle Lynam knows MLT, not sure how but there are picures of them playing golf Facebook has a Lynam page - anyone his "friend" Pinnacle work with administrators SFC (sorry parent company) are in administration!! I'm going to email Pinnacle and see if I get a reply!!!
bridge too far Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Worth a try though. You don't lose anything and you don't have to tell anyone on here that you rang . I rang Saint David once. That was not an experience I want to repeat! I think St D used to invite everyone to ring him! He certainly sent me a PM inviting me to ring him - not that I did I think he got some sort of 'thrill' receiving loads of calls. Probably bigged himself up as an entrepeneur
Charlie Wayman Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 We got a mention on MotD last night which is worth staying up for. It seems there was genuine sorrow at our plight from Lee Dixon and Martin Keown who rightly asked "Where did ALL their transfer money go?" I think they liked playing us especially in the Cup Final and years ago many ex-Gooners payed for Saints, most recently dear old Charlie. Well Mr Lowe, what's the answer to that one?
alpine_saint Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Not Fulthorpe Seen the names. So are you happy or not ?
Mole Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 I think St D used to invite everyone to ring him!

Probably bigged himself up as an entrepeneur Yeah, i think he pm'd everyone his number.
OldNick Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Guarded I would say on behalf of FF and myself. Yeah but guarded can mean oh f### it's better than nothing I suppose or guarded I know the names and pretty happy.
alpine_saint Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Guarded I would say on behalf of FF and myself. A pity your PM thingy is switched off..
Gingeletiss Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 RL has been your prediction. Lol..............nick, YMMFL. He was yours, until now....having a crisis of concience??
OldNick Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Lol..............nick, YMMFL. He was yours, until now....having a crisis of concience??No he was not, I had said it was a possibility but I always doubted it to be likely.Going into administration was never going to definitely get rid of him as many had believed it would. You still havent come back with your proof or apology by the way.Not able to I suspect

hypochondriac Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Yeah but guarded can mean oh f### it's better than nothing I suppose or guarded I know the names and pretty happy. Yep. It could be they are happy but don't want to go overboard just yet. Give us a clue please! Not to the identities but how you are feeling about t.
Delmary Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Guarded I would say on behalf of FF and myself.Guardedly optimistic?
Delmary Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Duncan your lack of enthusiasm shines through, or am I reading it wrong?His post does come across that way:(
Weston Saint Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 I am guarded because there is one written bid in the hands of the Administrator and he needs to make a decision quick. There is no other bid at present. Hope the party with the bid do not have second thoughts and withdraw leaving us with nothing! My information is that LeTissier will endorse any bid and owner that will take the club forward. I did not get the impression that he favours the alleged other party over any other. Seems media hype is playing it's part
hypochondriac Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 A pity your PM thingy is switched off.. I saw that too. He must have got fed up with people like me nagging him!
saint_ed Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 My information is that LeTissier will endorse any bid and owner that will take the club forward. I did not get the impression that he favours the alleged other party over any other. Seems media hype is playing it's part Precisely as I thought. I think any consortium would be keen to get Matt's name on board because it effectively guarantees fans' backing.

Seems media hype is playing it's part Fry also said he has not met MLT yet according to Echo
The Farmer Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 (edited) He sounded like a farmer. Don't associate me with St David FFS!! Been in touch with people close to the action today, MLT on board 100% and hopefully things will move forward this week. Don't throw away your shirt just yet. Edited 4 May, 2009 by The Farmer
Weston Saint Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 I have had my PM off since the Administrator was called in other than for short periods of contact with another forum user who does not have my email address or mobile number. Nothing sinister. I just wanted a bit of privacy
hypochondriac Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 So we have three potential bidders. One has put an offer in already but I am guessing perhaps doesn't have the most money in the world. Mark Fry is now waiting to see if one of the others bids makes an offer including a bid with perhaps more financial backing. The risk of this is that the original bid gets annoyed by the time it is taking and walks away. The other bids then fail to make an offer and we have missed out! It's certainly a risk but will it pay off?
saint_ed Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Don't associate me with St David FFS!! Been in touch with with people close to the action today, MLT on board 100% and hopefully things will move forward this week. Don't throw away your shirt just yet. Well they better hurry up!
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 The law serves society. Where on earth did you learn your politics? If only things were that fair. The law is more often than not drawn up by monied interests in favour of monied interests. Otherwise we'd have a generation of bankers doing an awful lot of porridge at the moment - and we have ... virtually NONE.
Weston Saint Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Do you know the identities of the bids? If so do you have a preference?There is only one bid.

hypochondriac Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 There is only one bid. Sorry that could have been confusing. There are 3 interested parties, one bid and the MLT people have completed due dilligence. Do you know the identities of these interested parties and if so do you have a preference?
lancelot link Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Spence, I am told that they have not completed due diligence yet. They are behind the ball game. REPLY FROM ENQUIRY TO PINNACLE WITHIN THE LAST HOUR: Lance Thank you for our e-mail. At this stage, it would be inappropriate to make any details known about our client, or his interest in the potential purchase of Southampton FC and its associated companies. I am however willing to confirm what has already been confirmed to the press. Myself and my colleagues are in the process of assessing various aspects of this deal, and have engaged in the due diligence process with the administrators. It is a confidential matter, and until such time that a deal has been agreed, no further comments can or will be made. We are aware of Mr Le Tissiers comments to local press, and are pleased to have his support, should I recommend that this purchase goes to completion. In the meantime, please respect the privacy of our client and the hard work being done by the Administrators in finding the best possible solution to the current position the Club finds itself in. With kind regards Tony Lynam Managing Director
hypochondriac Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Spence, I am told that they have not completed due diligence yet. They are behind the ball game. They are in due dilligence though. They said so in an email.
exit2 Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 They are in due dilligence though. They said so in an email. YTes they are in DD but have not completed it just yet
saintalan Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 Farmer - I got the same message. I phoned Pinnacle and heard it from the horses mouth :smt041 Doesn't really matter whether I am right or wrong or that it's good or bad but cant help think there is a link with Farmer here. Given the rush http://www.pinnacleproperty.net/ web site and a .net name with http://www.whois.net/whois/pinnacleproperty.net registered by a Mr Farmer pointing to it, I just feel its a bit like somebody that knows something and is running a smoke screen or something alongside it all!
hypochondriac Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 YTes they are in DD but have not completed it just yet Do you know the identities? Do you have a preferred group?

The good news is that the Farmer is a long time poster on here and people know him personally so we know he isn't a saint David or tommac type. In my opinion The Farmer knows some things but has decided not to make it public yet until he is certain of any facts and presumably until the group he knows about has finished due diligence and has moved forward to making an offer. The email above makes that petty clear.
Amesbury Saint Posted 4 May, 2009 Posted 4 May, 2009 I saw that too. He must have got fed up with people like me nagging him! and me!

There is no smoke screen, he like most of us are just fans at the end of the day.
