eurosaint Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 I've got a very strange feeling right now.... This could be it.... Less than 24 hours to go ........ Please, please let it happen .... Am off to watch the Chelski - Barca game on the box, have a few glasses and hopefully wake up to the BIG BIG news ... Let's hope the barstewards don't let me down (again)...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 2 o'clock is the end of our lunchbreak and therefore our own internet usage time! Do I risk a further 10 minutes (& showing up on a report) in case of salvation or do I wait until the end of the working day??? Such dilemmas...

Didcot Saint Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 it will confirm who is buying the club and that matt is on the board Lets all hope so.
Weston Saint Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 The only one who will make an announcement as to when an anouncement is to be made is the Administrator and no one in the media is saying he has made such announcement. It may be correct but how many times have we been told that before about Saints matters.
saintmatt Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 if you google hcdajfu, you get this as the first result: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=HCDAJFU haha,never knew that started here!

Saint Charlie Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Nice thought but my money would now be on the people who have actually made a bid!!
saint_ed Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Nice thought but my money would now be on the people who have actually made a bid!! I agree.
Weston Saint Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Weston have you heard that a deal is imminent?Sorry Charlie, I am not the Administrator. He is the only one who can answer that.
Nineteen Canteen Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 I've heard its to formally annouce the re-appointment of Woggy
positivepete Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Its to continue the Dutch revolution, Van Basten leaves Ajax to join Saints!
NickG Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 quote on BBC was this is more than gossip - whatever that means!
Third Division South Days Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Administrator is to talk,tomorrow, to one of the three groups. Thought to be the one associated with MLT. Acccording to BBC.
docker-p Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Administrator is to talk,tomorrow, to one of the three groups. Thought to be the one associated with MLT. Acccording to BBC. Your 'days' are back again !
Saint Charlie Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Administrator is to talk,tomorrow, to one of the three groups. Thought to be the one associated with MLT. Acccording to BBC. Didn't hear the bit it said "thought to be MLT's one". It could be any of them.
docker-p Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Didn't hear the bit it said "thought to be MLT's one". It could be any of them. Congratulations on 1000 posts. I'm sure 99% of them were bo***cks, but aren't all posts!
Saint Charlie Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Congratulations on 1000 posts. I'm sure 99% of them were bo***cks, but aren't all posts! Thanks! Im hoping to become ITK soon.
docker-p Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Thanks! Im hoping to become ITK soon. LOL. Yeah you and me too.
SaintBobby Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Just a note on press conferences - if they are called they are not secret. A calling notice will be issued by the club's press office. Even Saints don't hold press conferences in secret! 99% of the ITK stuff on here turns out to be bullsh*t, but with regard to a press conference, you don't need to be ITK. Just ask the club's press office if it's true. Not saying it isn't true, by the way, just that it's easily verifiable one way or another.
LostBoys Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Ok I am desparate enough like most people on here to be able to wait until the claimed time tomorrow . By a quirk of fate I have a non-football related meeting at the Madejski Stadium tomorrow - I hope they have SSN on and if I see him I will ask Sir John - he is probably as well informed as most people on here!!!.
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 a friend just phoned me, he has connections - apparently there is a press conference lined up for 2.00p.m. tomorrow I guess that means the club is going into administration then! Wonder what the League would do if that happened?!?
Saint Fan CaM Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 I guess that means the club is going into administration then! Wonder what the League would do if that happened?!? That cannot be correct (i.e. administration) as the club has no assets so would be closed down immediately. Fry would have a lot of explaining to do if he allowed this to happen when there is a definite bid on the table and reportedly two more about to be lined up (if not already issued). I do not believe the creditors would want this to happen either. Hopefully. 8-[

chappers Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 On the Radio Solent news at 8.30am - Fry could be announcing the prefered bidder this afternoon - the lot from guernsey are not expected to be in the front running. sounds like (hopefully) we are now close to getting the deal done.....lets hope its a good one..
Mole Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 - the lot from guernsey ar not expected to be in the front running. That'd probably be for the best. I have reservations about this bid. That said i know **** all about this bid.
action man Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 there will be a press announcment at 2.00 oclock to say the consortium le tissier involved in will be our new owners,heard this from a very good sorce
saints_is_the_south Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Won't believe anything until its on OS, there's been far too many false dawns in the past. I'm probably being thick here but when Solent say Fry will announce the preferred bidder today, is that meaning the preferred group from those that have bidded or that the group he'd prefer made a bid. Has a bid actually been made atall yet?
SKATE_HATE Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 there will be a press announcment at 2.00 oclock to say the consortium le tissier involved in will be our new owners,heard this from a very good sorce How is your source connected to the club?
Paul Chuckle Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 there will be a press announcment at 2.00 oclock to say the consortium le tissier involved in will be our new owners,heard this from a very good sorce I have heard this as well from my firend who works for a large property developer (we are linked with a potential property developer) He said he heard it from a reliable source as well, but hasn't revealed who :o/ could have just read it on here though LOL
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 there will be a press announcment at 2.00 oclock to say the consortium le tissier involved in will be our new owners,heard this from a very good sorce sauce: first post on teh fred
Ken Tone Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 there will be a press announcment at 2.00 oclock to say the consortium le tissier involved in will be our new owners,heard this from a very good sorce I am NITK, but from normal business practice am pretty sure it won't be this definite. By far the most likely next step is an announcment from Fry to the effect that he has received one or more bids, that at least one of them is acceptable (please!) and that he is now working with one group as the preferred bidder to finalise details with the hope of an actual deal very shortly. He *may* indicate who that bidder is, with their agreement. But in any event if I am right there will still be some doubt and the deal could fall through before being finalised. So if there is indeed a press conference this pm, called by Fry, that is probably very good news, but unlikely to be quite the end of it. Still a few slips between cup and lips. K. PS would be delighted to be proved wrong with an actual final and firm deal being announced today!!!

PS would be delighted to be proved wrong with an actual final and firm deal being announced today!!! I'd say that is pretty spot on. There's a danger in us all getting our knickers in a twist about this being the end to the saga, only to be let down again, Saints-stylee. It could also be a bad news press conference, of course...
sainttomski Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 oh god please let someone say something about a takeover soon otherwise I'm going to get sacked for perma-surfing this site! 8-)

If Mark Fry merely wanted to issue a non-conclusive statement, he could do this without a press conference - especially if he is unable to answer any questions that go beyond the statement.
