Interesting comment about the Iranians and "Rotch Property Group" having bought property on the South Coast......anyone else notice who they bought it off?

 

Rotch Property Group have used Guernsey based Aletheia Partners as their 'bid vehicle' before. Did someone mention a Channel Islands connection in one of the bids a while back....?

Take it that was a rhetorical question Trousers ?

 

There must be more financial geniuses per square mile on the Ch Islands than anywhere else in the world. And yet the best we attracted from there to date is Mikey 'COYR' Wilde !

Now come on, That’s just not true, Just 2 weeks ago we attracted a couple of "tyre Kickers" and don't forget the "Jersey Butcher".

I’ve been reading this forum with more than a passing interest for the past week or so, not with morbid curiosity, nor even out of any twisted desire to see you all suffering. Yes, I’m a Pompey fan, but as certain posters on here who know me (Weston Saint included) will attest to, I hold no malice toward Saints fans. Sure I enjoy a bit of banter with our local rivals, but at the end of the day you’re no different to me – you just happen to support the wrong club – and I know how I’ve felt in the past when Pompey have faced similar circumstances (and how much I fear facing the same choices again in the future).

 

So, to the point of my post. I happen to be a good friend of Tony Lynam and I think it only right that you should be aware of just how hard he is working in an effort to put a deal together that will not merely satisfy the administrator and creditors, but will offer your club a stable future.

 

I don’t know the details of the package they’re putting together, I don’t know the name(s) of the person/people he and his team are representing, and I can’t even tell you if they have or haven’t yet tabled a formal bid, but I do know that they’re working their socks off to do so. How do I know? Because he’s told me so. That may not be good enough for you, but it's good enough for me.

 

Okay, so some of you have Google’d Pinnacle and concluded that they’re not themselves financial heavyweights, but (even if true) that doesn’t mean they’re not well connected – and believe me, they are. Indeed, if the investor(s) they are representing does(do) ultimately end up buying SFC, then I'll wager that the deal won’t come close in scale to some of the acquisitions they’ve been involved in negotiating.

 

Will they be successful? Who knows, I certainly don’t, but I’ll tell you this much, if ultimately they’re unsuccessful it won’t be for lack of effort or good intention. So, rather than sniping at the perceived credibility of Pinnacle, or for that matter at any of the other potential/confirmed bidders working to buy your club, why not give them all a break. They are, after all, doing far more than most (if not all) of you in order to give you a team to watch at St Mary's next season - and Tony's not even a Saints fan!

Never thought I would say "Cheers for that" to one of our Blue Few neighbours, but........ "Cheers For That".

 

Is Tony a Pompey fan by the way ? Don't know who I prefer then - Pompey Tony or Lifelongcherry..

[NSS]

Well thank you for that party political broadcast on behalf of the Pinnacle party.

 

Actually it was intended as a party political broadcast on behalf of the Saints Party. Like I said, it's not important (certainly not to me) which consortium ends up buying Saints, merely that one of them does. Speculating as to whether Pinnacle's lot, Mark Jackson or Uncle Tom Cobbley has the financial muscle to get your club moving in the right direction again, never mind casting doubt on their or anyone else's motives, seems to me to serve no purpose other than paint a picture of divided fans whose support for any new regime cannot be counted upon.

 

I don't know Jackson or Uncle Tom so I can't vouch for them. I do know Tony and so all I'm saying is that if this were happening to Pompey right now then I'd be giving any and all potential bidders the time and blessing to conclude a deal that just might keep my club alive.

It is good to know that some people actually do try and work very hard at saving the club, rather than watching as it dies.

 

It isn't about anybody winning a popularity contest, or PR wars, it is simply about getting this club out of the utter disasterous mess it is currently in and then rebuilding for a sustainable and successful future. Whoever can get that done will no doubt continue to get sh*t from the cyber-warriors but at least we will have a club to watch.

 

When I turned up for the Forum match last week the full enormity of the mess we are in hit me when I saw the Stadium again and realised that next year it could be empty or worse being demolished.

 

Whoever is trying to save the club deserves support it is obvious there is a hell of a lot of work involved and I for one really don't care who it is as long as it is SOMEONE

[Guided Missile]

No, he's not. But it wouldn't be him buying the club anyway so what does it matter?

Neil, you are now confirming my worst fears, namely that Rons' knowledge of a potential bid amounts to the Pinnacle led bid. Call me a cynic, if you like, but this all sounds like a crock of sh !t. Just because Tony has played golf with Matt a couple of times and has tried to sell insurance to a few rich businessmen does not qualify him as a good candidate for taking over Saints.

 

If he has told you that Pinnacle Asset Management Limited have been involved in bigger deals than this, then, frankly, he is full of sh !t. Involvement normally means earning a pecentage of the deal or a fee and with an net asset base of £4, including retained profits, I can't quite see that it was achieved through that vehicle.

 

Finally, why the f*** would an extremely rich man need a 33 year old ex-insurance salesman to carry out a deal on his behalf. Either he's a deaf mute or never heard of Price Waterhouse, et al.

 

No, you've confirmed it for me. If this is our best hope, we're f***ed...

I'm one of the most sceptical/cynical/cautious/not easily fooled posters on here and trusted sources of mine have also confirmed that Tony Lynam/pinnacle are thoroughly honourable. If they were vouched for by the usual ITK's i'd be wary, but they haven't been. The usual ITK's know **** all and that fact alone gives pinnnacle/Tony Lynam more credibility than previous walter mitty ITK takeover moguls promoted on here.

I know NSS very well and if he says it has credibilty I would trust his word... I am just maybe sceptical because we have had so many of these types of potential bids with local business men wanting to be involved but typically scuppered by the difficulty in finding appropriate investors.

And the other worry I have is that those previous potential bids have all been played out in the media.

 

I hope NSS is right and they do have the backing and can justify the investments needed, but I still fail to understand why with all the NDA's they actually felt it wise to play their games in the media?

 

Surely IF they were dealing with Fry then they would be concentrating on what the due process and contractual issues are needed in addition to the money in order to buy the club, I simply cannot see why they would feel they gain anything by doing it in public, it is simply too big a risk.

 

These deals are incredibly complex and much can go wrong. Surely having been splashed all over the media when the deal ISN'T done is a risk - they could end up having a lot of egg on their corporate faces.

 

That bit doesn't compute, cannot see why they took the risk

Now go and wash your mouth out with soapy water

 

Eternity is not long enough to forgive The Red Faced Duck Shooter for what he has done to the club :mad:

 

I do not utter such blasphemy lightly,but unless Westons info is correct then I suspect that there is NO DEAL to be done here, and that Rupert or anybody else come to that matter would be the difference between playing next season in Div 1 or OBLIVION!

 

SAINT TILL I DIE!

[dubai_phil]

Is that not waht we said after the last relegation though - anything is better than....

 

But now we really know what that anything means?

 

It only really hit me when I got to SMS for the Forum game. Last time I made it back was the Bury cup game, this last year I was never able to get back as I don't travel so much now for work.

 

Just looking at the building, the design, the work, the hopes we all had, it actually knocked the stuffing out of me when I realised it could all be gone in less than a couple of weeks.

 

That is why I don't see this stuff as a battle to buy the club I see it as a battle to save it. IF there is some sort of choice then that would be fantastic, we'd all love it to be Paul Allen, but if it is some form of Private Individual or funding then we would have to accept that.

 

The PROBLEM with the PLC was that for too long the Directors were not the owners, it wasn't their MONEY they were gambling, only their cv's.

 

With an owner having much more hands on involvement in what is being done with their money I cannot see it being something that has to be always "cutting edge, revolutionary, or simple a giant gamble", so that way I see we have hope.

[NickG]

so many threads on this so will put it on all!!!

 

These things take time.

 

Don't let lack of an immediate deal make you think he is doing nothing, I have only heard good reports on him.

 

I would be surprised if the announcement is not by close of business tomorrow, but that bit is my guess. I think the delays are actually positive, in that the work he has done keeps identifying possibles and he is thoroughly examining them.

 

I am not aware of anyone being put off by this.

 

Unless one of the late enquiries quickly becomes a full formal detailed offer I would anticipate Fry going to the bird in the hand shortly.

 

My guess would be other ruled out soon and working out the final details with one (my guess MLT's) over next few days

[NSS]

Afternoon all. One of the 'Blue Few' here again. Sorry I couldn't reply to posts yesterday afternoon but it seems I'm only allowed 3 posts per 24 hours (and no, I'm not about to 'subcribe' to your forum, as lively as it seems to be).

 

Hi to Easty, Frank's Cousin, GM and Lindford. I trust you are all well.

 

As I tried to say yesterday, I don't know the details of any potential bid from those represented by Tony Lynam/Pinnacle, nor do I know who they are acting on behalf of, but I do know that it would not be TL/Pinnacle putting up the money (as has been made clear all along).

 

However, I think it unfortunate that any Saints fans would choose to rubbish them, or insinuate that he/they are unlikely to know anyone with sufficient funds to properly finance a deal for the club.

 

Anyway, all I suggested yesterday was that they, as I'm sure is the case with other potential bidders (who it seems have also been ridiculed by some), have been working very hard to secure a future for your club. Whether they or any of the others parties working toward that goal are ultimately successful remains to be seen, but for your sakes I hope one of them is.

 

If that happens to be the group represented by Pinnacle then I for one will be very pleased for Tony Lynam as he will have earned whatever fee those he's representing choose to pay him - and some on this forum will have earned a very large slice of Humble Pie.

 

Whichever group is ultimately successful (assuming any is), I hope all those who are trying to save your club will have earned the respect of the Saints fans. You never know, you may need to call on their support again in the future.

 

On that note, I'll clear off back where I belong.

 

Good luck!

Can we safely assume that NSS does know a few of you then?

 

If so I am willing to naively dip my toe into a potential sea of ridicule and thank him for his information. I know it may be the height of stupidity but I am a man clutching for straws and this is the latest one passing.

 

If you're genuine NSS cheers, if not then come back and gloat later (actually, no don't as you won't be allowed).

 

Ps That it should come to this! Me hoping that Pxmpey fans are telling the truth :-(

Whilst I understand your reluctance to believe, try to put yourself in my shoes for a minute. I've been a Pompey fan for over 40 years and long-term ST Holder. I've suffered the bad times (and there have been plenty), and I've enjoyed the good times (particularly recently), but in all that 40+ years I've never been privvy to inside info about my club. So, imagine my frustration at having, for the first time in my life, at least some (albeit limited) knowledge of such matters - and for that knowledge not to be about my own club, but yours.

Well thank you for that party political broadcast on behalf of the Pinnacle party.

 

He has a point, people on here bang on and on about what they "know", when they really "know" nothing. With the research going on on here a few people should consider applying for work at the Sun. Looking for any old crappy detail, correct or incorrect and printing it as true.

 

People just need to relax and let the people that are ACTUALLY doing something get on with it.

Haven't been able to post for months. Just to say I hope you lot make it. From our experience in the great historic city it was very late when Milan came in with a bid. Indeed some other consortium were in the paper first as about to complete. So no news isn't necessarily bad.

Cheers Eyes, takeovers in most industries are last minute, let alone when they fairly complex as this one will be. Pompey fans might hate us scummers but you'd miss the derby games if you were never able to have one again. Don't think Brighton or Bournemouth would quite be the same for you lot although Millwall are on the up again I suppose if they win the L1 play-offs.

Whilst I understand your reluctance to believe, try to put yourself in my shoes for a minute. I've been a Pompey fan for over 40 years and long-term ST Holder. I've suffered the bad times (and there have been plenty), and I've enjoyed the good times (particularly recently), but in all that 40+ years I've never been privvy to inside info about my club. So, imagine my frustration at having, for the first time in my life, at least some (albeit limited) knowledge of such matters - and for that knowledge not to be about my own club, but yours.

 

Bl**dy typical!

 

What is encouraging under these current circumstances, is the knowledge that Pompey have been through all this heartache and yet have come out the other side successfully. If we are as lucky to find new owners with the money to invest in us, we can but hope that we will rise again like a Phoenix and that this might be as far down as we go. Often the darkest hour is just before the dawn.

 

So thanks NSS for taking the time to share some snippets that have come your way. In my business I have some good customers who have supported Pompey as long and as avidly as you and although we have some banter along the way, neither of us would wish to see the other club drop out of existence.

And that's how it should be WT. We're rivals, not enemies. And that I guess is my 3rd and final allowed post until late tomorrow afternoon.

 

PS> Damers - Yep, that's what I've been told too.

 

Cheers!

Just been told the LE God group have been having meetings all day at St Marys.

 

The worrying thing is they have been talking all day and nothing yet on SSN.

 

Does that mean more talks tomorrow or what?

lets hope they all finish talking before the club goes bust!! I can just envisage the meeting room at st marys with MF just about to wrap up the 29th ball breaker deal and the baillifs coming in and taking his chair away and then turning the light off! (after taking the light bulb out first!!!!!) FFS

Haven't been able to post for months.

 

Can't find any reason why in the Admin area, Eyes. You certainly weren't banned or anything....
