notnowcato Posted 12 May, 2009 Share Posted 12 May, 2009 Not really. Fry's job is to get as much money for the creditors as possible. He is perfectly within his rights to hold out for money and do everything he can to achieve a maximum return. In doing this there is potentially a situation where he could annoy a bidder who eventually pulls out or lowers their original bid. It's a plausible scenario and one that hopefully will not happen. Both nickh and you are taking a lot of stick on this thread, mainly I'm sure down to how frustrated we all are with the predicament the club we love is in. Seriously though, the scenario above would paint Mr Fry in a particularly unprofessional light and I would suggest you stop from pursuing this line. Mr Fry is accountable to the creditors, if he ****es off a potential buyer I'm sure the creditors will hear about it in due course. Meanwhile, if a potential bidder is acting as unrealistically as you suggest then frankly we don't need them at our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW11_Saint Posted 12 May, 2009 Share Posted 12 May, 2009 You said Nicks opinion was based on nothing like facts. His opinion was that the one bid we currently have could potentially be put off by Fry delaying/moving the goalposts. This is information and FACTS which you can gain through knowing the people involved. You don't have to know everything or be in Frys team to find something like that out. It isn't facts at all - just a theory based on the very limited information that is "out in the open" (if we can trust that, which I doubt) at the moment. The only person who knows all of the facts is Mr. Fry. Fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't thinks its fair to have a go at people for holding a different opinion. As I have said previously, Nick has certain contacts and tries to share what he can. I can stomach most of it but hen people just dismiss it as ridiculous that annoys me, especially when I believe it is anything but. With regards your second point, if a bidder does act unrealistically and pulls out he could have potentially be our ONLY bidder. Then we are left with nothing and the club folds. Far better to have an unrealistic bidder runing the club than no club at all I would have thought. Any way, I think the MLT bid is the one in pole position. I hope they can finalise their bid either today or tomorrow and this conversation will be meaningless. One thing I will say is that people need to be read a bit more and don't be so quick to criticise or poke fun. Like it or not some posters are involved in this and do know people actually making a bid (I don't include myself in this!).

SP Saint Posted 12 May, 2009 Share Posted 12 May, 2009 I have never posted on UI and dont intend to thankyou. You again can make your own assertions and speculation. Fry is the only person who knows all the facts. i have made my concerns known as I am concerned that by waiting we may lose the only bid we have on the table at present.he may well be confident of another and he rightly will decide in his own time.That does not stop me from considering if we are left with no bidders the implications of that. Iam not saying Im in the know, I just had heard something that disturbed me and voiced it on here. If i know something is certain I will say so.

If he thinks he can get a better buyer and then they pull out we could be in a tricky situation. 3) don't be offended when you put up inflamatory remarks and people do not agree with them. No problem at all with people disagreeing and can also handle some of the abuse. Quite a bit goes over the top though. You can disagree with people without resorting to some of the stuff here.

Now on top of that input, I would then offer an opinion, which is that I would assume that the offer was not at the level that Fry wished to see, but also interestingly, the phrase "still on the table" indicates to me that maybe there is some insurance sitting there in case Fry's meeting doesn't go too well today.

the saint in winchester Posted 12 May, 2009 Share Posted 12 May, 2009 Of course I give him a chance but the clock is ticking.Allegedly there has been an offer on the table for a while.Now of course it may be derisory, sometimes in life your first offer is your best offer. From my experience in retailing the worlds best buyers appear when there is a sold ticket on item if it is a one off. The minute you say 'well I think the person who was buying it has changed their minds' they are off like a shot. Mark Fry has to get his best price i agree but he also may lose the opportunity to get any buyer. We have been on the market for some weeks now and have whittled it down to perhaps 2. I hope our complacency does not cost us in the long run. Good post, Nickh, and I agree with you. In my simple mind, he is an estate agent trying to sell your house. Offers don't stay on the market for long and need to be accepted or swiftly re-negotiated in the hope of a slightly higher offer. Like you, I'm concerned those who have made an offer will withdraw their interest. I still feel this should like an ebay auction - with a definite offer period, best offer on the table at deadline wins. Not sure if we/he is moving forward on this. Some talk today that there will be an announcement in the next 24 hours. Certainly a statement of where he is with this would help us all to get back onside.

Important answers to follow on questions Pork is banned in Saudi, Kuwait and Sharjah here in the Emirates, but it is sold in most supermarkets (unless they are French) Some issues at the moment on import of new supplies in case they get infected by pig flu. As Micky may have spotted, I give an analogy - Mat Le Tiss was a brilliant footballer. Having 10 of him in your team may work, but having him as a goalkeeper may not work even though he always wanted to play there, just needs people to tell him where to play for the benefit of the team. It has been made very clear on a number of times to his face (rather than hiding behind a keyboard) that he was a total moronic w*nker with the Bournemouth thing and his public persona. Nobody has yet asked the real question which is who and what has he actually found/stumbled across/conned/sold to? and unfortunately it will never be answered unless his group wins. Everyone is too ready to cast the first stone (rightly so with the facts at their disposal about him). Many would look pretty darned silly if it was a local version of Paul Allen (but then it likely isn't and anyway nobody would believe it anyway!) And of course the other question - who leaked his name to the Echo and why the whole front page treatment and who gained from that? Was it just co-incidence it happened the day Fry was discussing a bid? Did it actually fit with everything else that group has done in terms of keeping below the radar?

Really - it's still a very expensive set of curtains even at the bargain basement price!! The point is there is a very small market to sell football clubs to. Perhaps Jacko has assisted so many groups by now that he's got the hang of it. lol - reminds of a certain football club chairman who finally got it right after he appointed Strachan - he followed that up with his next appointment.....oh. At the end of the day, Fry is doing his job & getting on with it. He will have known by talking to all of the interested groups where they currently stand. Nick, I understand your concerns about the one & only bid walking away but I'm sure Fry will know there are better bids about to unfold - hopefully tomorrow will see the start of the endgame.

OldNick Posted 13 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 13 May, 2009 This thread highlights the difference between football fans and the stupid, nothing. The consortiums bidding for SFC will obviously wait until the last moment to buy because all the pressure is on the seller and they (the buyer) will want the best possible price. Fry has a hard job on his hands but he will be very used to this.You are a football fan, welcome to he club Le Goddard. Yeah they will wait until the last minute......ohhh too late they have been liquidated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 13 May, 2009 Share Posted 13 May, 2009 Nice to see some other respected posters on here are backing Nick's view. But then we are idiotic so clearly don't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Nick's view appears to be wrong as Fry is busy working on a plan to sell SFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
