Other than the statement to the LSE where has the rest of the info about

 

1 bid for the stadium alone

1 bidder left and they've been told to put up or shut up

We've lost our club! We're doomed

 

Is this the usuall ITK bs or something more concrete?

That's easy, two words

 

NOTHING HAPPENED

It only turned out to be a non-runner becuase (fingers crossed) a deal is now there to be done with one of two parties.

 

Had there been no bids at all then there is an outside chance that it would have gathered enough momentum.

 

More likely (should it have been needed) it could have been used to top up funds for a bidder that would otherwise have fallen short of having enough funds.

 

IMO take p would have been significantly higher had we all thought that it was the only way of saving the club.

 

Again, at least he did something.

 

 

We were never going to have "no bids at all" and it was never going to be "the only way of saving the club". That is a point a lot of people did try to make.

 

We were not, are not, and never will be Weymouth, or Grays Athletic or some tin pot nothing club maintained by fans having a whip round.

 

And that £90k was just people on the forum saying yeah, I'm in. Which isn't money in the bank as reality would see you realise a fraction of that.

 

And either way, £90k wouldn't be much of a top up of anything.

 

 

 

Anyway, fairly pointless having this debate again as the deal will be officially sealed and announced on South Today this evening. MLT has just popped into the odd bins round the corner from me for three bottles of champagne*.

Can you explain the yacht in harbour at least..

 

Im sorry I posted up the message I was sent regarding 'be ready' etc Istill believe that something is happening but it has all gone quiet. I have tried to get mesages through but no reply. O f course there could be good reason for that.

Im off home in 10 minutes and so will be away from the computer.If I hear anything else I will do my best to get it up on here.Although I doubt any news will be slow in coming out with all the people on here trying to access any snippets.

Well yeah. The termination of talks thread I thought was better with more reasoned replies. This just seems to be full of ranting Saints fans not really not knowing whats going on.

There may or may not be an announcement of a preferred bidder. For a while we all thought there was going to be and now we're not so sure.

 

That's about it.

Or we could disappear into history.

I started at the beginning of this thread and worked my way through to what ?

Nothing !

 

I will start at the bloody end next time like most normal people !!!!

You catch on quick - you'll be fine here... ;)

I my head what I wrote seemed fine but I see your point.

 

See - you're ranting already. What the hell is that meant to say...??? ;)

Posted
Bet we don't.

 

If you know definitely, fine, if not, it could be wishful thinking. I wouldn't bet on any outcome.

True...

FWIW I'd put money on us being taken over.

 

There's nothing in it for Fry to not do a deal (pretty much anyway).

 

Lets just hope I'm not proved wrong....:cool:

For some reason, Ian Branfoot sprang to mind when I read that... :lol:

 

 

If this thread is ever featured on Football Focus, my post will be strategically removed to make it look worse than it is.

Which forums members are the most famous ITK's, what have they said today ?

"It's today....Friday...today...sometime this afternoon....Friday"

 

 

 

as well as "its all gone quiet, which may be good news or not.....there are whispers, which may be good news or not"...etc etc

 

i really thought, for the first time in ages, that this friday was gonna be THE friday !!

We all know nothing is going to happen today, it's 5.30 and everyone has gone home, yet another waste of time thread getting people's hopes up by people who claim to be "in the know" but clearly aren't. To be honest, I'm getting worried now, they've had about a month now to find a buyer and nothing has happened...could all just be one big anti-climax

CB Fry. He said with some authority it will all be announced on South Today later and MLT was buying champagne in the offie near him. He did add that he had made this all up but that could be a double bluff :-)

IM A SAINTS FAN GET ME OUT OF HERE ! (Wheres Ant and Dec?)

 

Are Ant and Dec taking us over? Cool. I'll have to learn which is which.

Well I believe him. He has a more reliable record than most on here.*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*That is, not reliable at all.
