Mole Posted 14 May, 2009 Share Posted 14 May, 2009 I'm not ITK, nor do i want to be, but i've heard from a trusted poster (not one of the usual "look at me i know something you don't know" merchants) that Pinnacle are the real deal. I hope the likes of Wacko Jacko don't scare them off with their delaying tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 14 May, 2009 Share Posted 14 May, 2009 I think you'll find that we all noted it, it's just that we non ITK'ers are struggling to sort the fact from the fiction. Based on Doggface's post - when does the afternoon pass into the evening. A couple of hours and counting perhaps? I don't know but I do know where Doggface got his info last night and the source is impeccable. An announcement may not be this afternoon but as of last night I think there was optimism that it would be soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted 14 May, 2009 Share Posted 14 May, 2009 If they can hit what sometimes on here seems to be a moving target then thank God for that. But remember that many salesmen are forced at some point in their careers to read Sun Tzu's the Art of War, and although I and many others doubt the ability of you know who to read, he isn't the brains behind the bid. I'm sure that book also has a prominent position in Fry's briefcase which is why it takes so long I've just read a review of the book you mention on Amazon which makes me think it may well sum up Ruperts business philosophy too: This is one of the classic books in relation to military strategy. Although widely and bullishly referenced in the business world, anyone seriously considering applying the lessons to business should first answer a very simple question: "If war is a metaphor for business then where is the customer?" Customers - oh the Southampton peasants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he can speak for himself but in the meantime I think Weston is more au fait with the "other" consortium and to be fair to him he has deliberately kept away from finding out too much about Pinnacle so as not to be accused of having conflicting interests.

Roll on FRIDAY I have no update as such, however I know those that are working on the bid will be giving everything for the cause and hope that an announcement is imminent.

Well as FF says you know what you're talking about Doggface, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you're right and we'll hear soon. I'm also hoping that it is Pinnacle linked and not a Wacko consortium that are in the offing as I don't believe the latter is ever likely to become a reality.

CamberwellSaint Posted 14 May, 2009 Share Posted 14 May, 2009 A neutral wise "old" head and a voice of reason, who helped to drive the abortive attempts to get the 3 amigos to talk to each other by chairing the Runnymede and other meeting and spent many months working with all parties to try and find some common ground in our darker days, and an all round good guy and successful businessman.

I know who weston is and he has always been consistent with his posts and what he knows. I don't recall him coming one here pouring scorn on one bid or another. As long as there is somebody out there who is able to save saints then I cannot be doing with all this We are a better group that your groups agent mentality. It is the future of the club that is far more important than the petty points scoring that appears to happen on this site as to who is the better or preferred bidder, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamsaint Posted 14 May, 2009 Share Posted 14 May, 2009 it really is all a bit bonkers. PL teams are buying mid range players for amounts of money that might save our once proud club. For the lack of the same amount of money that would have bought Delgado and Delap we could be looking at Satuday afternoons in IKEA, or at the races. It really doesn't bear thinking about.

If there is a better allround bid for the club I would be very suprised but also very happy. The trouble is you use terms such as 'fluid' and after everyone picks themselves up off the floor or wipes the coffee from their monitor, they question your judgement and therefore your actual knowledge. If you do know about sf and tsf as you claim, you would understand this, so some are left wondering whether you're on a wind-up. How close are you to the action? Can you say how close we are to a deal? With what certainty will there be news tomorrow? What exactly is holding up the process? These are all questions that need answering - I know its not your responsibility, but understand that everyone needs to know these things to rest easy.

MusicMan Posted 14 May, 2009 Share Posted 14 May, 2009 A genuine question. If the people behind these bids are genuine why is it that they don’t want to be known? The only reason that I can think of is that they fear that by going public it may affect their business, but I don’t see how that could be, infact I would have thought the opposite, They may well be seen as the ‘good guys’ trying to save our club which may give them some positive publicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
