I know we need a club first but there are bids!! its like waiting 10 minutes at a wedding to see if anybody has any just cause etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 Anybody ITK know anything about the bid from abroad? There was rumour that Souness was involved in 1 consortium with backers coming from Dubai, could that be it? I don't have a clue myself & am just guessing!

derry Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 (edited) My personal opinion, if Marc Jackson is visibly involved with one of the bids the administrator will sideline it in favour of another. Weston says not, but in the light of the things he is posting, it is possible Marc Jackson pulled it together, however I would expect to see him sidelined p.d.q. if his group moved forward as it won't be his money funding it. It also wouldn't surprise me, if when the money needs to be paid, it doesn't happen. It is not unknown for an imminent decision to give a loitering party the signal to move. The administrator would have to consider them. Edited 8 May, 2009 by derry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggface Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 Mark Jackson is a joey, his actions on the forums over the last few years prove this and what happened at afcb is evidence he is way out of his depth. hopefully though his uselessness will shine through and he will get no further.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 Having spoken to Marc Jackson a few times he comes across as a likeable enough bloke but to be frank I wouldn't want him anywhere near our club no matter how bad things are. He is a "Walter Mitty" who will only harm whatever progress was made with other consortiums. Well intentioned maybe but a fantasist - only last March he was telling me that he was still in touch with Paul Allan. People like Marc can't help dabbling but really should get out of the way and leave such serious matters to serious investors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear that just two bids are being considered now and one seems to be the Marc Jackson associated bid.

If I was Fry I would quickly go with the Pinnacle bid (assuming it has come in). I get the distinct feeling that if clowns like Jackson are being considered as "serious" bidders over 5 weeks into the process it is all going to go tits up and the admin express isn't very far from ploughing into the buffers with massive casualties resulting.
