saint lard Posted 21 May, 2009 Share Posted 21 May, 2009 Well Imo they have not courted the publicity. Show me the interviews, they were at SMS during the forum game and just sat and watched.They met up with the people who went back on the night to the pub and only spoke when they were introduced.Very low key I promise. My reading of the Bournemouth situation was that MJ was left at the last minute by somebody pulling out, it sounds like Pinnacle had the same problem.Are you going to have a go at them for that?

benjii Posted 21 May, 2009 Share Posted 21 May, 2009 Answered your own question in a way. Maybe they have met and talked, maybe we have simply typed. But he would not have talked without a proof of funds to get to NDA and then again proof of funds with an actual bid would have had to come from the principles not from the saleman HTH That's more like Jackson type than Dubai Phil type IMO.

Thank fxck for that piece of common sense Stu. I cannot believe people are holding up MJ and any deal he brokers to derision if it is all that we have between having a club and not having a club. Ok it's not our dream saviour but ffs we aren't in much of a position to belittle people who just might find some way to save us surely? I hope he doesn't bother reading some of this shxt because if I was him I'd say "well go **** yourselves then". I'm not going to express any personal opinion of the bloke because, quite frankly, I'm ****ting myself that any time soon we might not have a club to bother having a forum about. We are, unfortunately, beggars at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFM Posted 22 May, 2009 Share Posted 22 May, 2009 I'm aware of the reputation of Marc Jackson from reading on here over the last couple of years, and also from that interview he gave when attempting to take over Bournemouth. Appears to me that the major accusations about him are that he is dyslexic, a chancer and that he couldn't back up his claims with hard cash. I know absolutely nothing about Stuart Green, but it seems he is a moderately successful business man, I am guessing in much the same way as Leon Crouch. Local businessman with enough money to gain control of the club, but not enough to do a huge amount with it. However, if they have indeed managed to throw together just short of 14m to gain control of the club, then I guess we can discount one of the criticisms against Marc Jackson. And frankly I am not that bothered about his dyslexia if he is going to play a major role in helping the club avoid liquidation. As for being a chancer, I guess people make this assumption on the basis that he doesn't have any significant money himself. So basically, he is a normal Saints fan with a desire to be involved in the football club that he loves, and has put in a lot of time and effort to try and make that happen. I bet there are a hundred fans on this forum who would love to be able to put themselves in the same position (and that is perhaps the major reason he gets a slating on here- a Saints fan, like us, who has the audacity to have a dream and try to make that happen). However, the major issue I have is that a successful bid by these two may just prove to be as divisive as Rupert Lowe was. I can already imagine the hand-wringing on this forum if they do gain control, right from the start, when in fact a much better reaction would be to give the guys a chance to prove themselves. After all, it doesn't appear that anyone else is working hard enough to show Fry the cash, and for that reason they deserve our support. For what it's worth, I would prefer the club to be taken over by someone else (the Pinnacle 'bid' sounds like a good long-term solution for Saints, while the offer of a mystery overseas party seems to promise much greater sums of cash), but if that is not to happen and Jackson and Green gain control, they have my full support. I could not agree more. I would wish that there are still other options open and hold out some small hope of that but jeez we can't be too picky at the moment folks. I say this with no sarcasm but it was good to see quite a range of others agree with the post above (after an initial misunderstanding) because, whatever any of forum members' previous views or grievances with past administrations have been before, I'm sticking to my hope that we have a club to support next season and that is about all that matters right now?

dubai_phil Posted 22 May, 2009 Share Posted 22 May, 2009 Their initial finance both here when they looked into it before and Bournemouth was from Dubai, is this still the case? No And for the record, have posted many times, Dubai is technically bankrupt. It makes the sub-prime market seem like a good investment or Brit MP's seem honest. Exact figures are hard to find, but with the number of expats down here diluting the number of locals in the population, the debt of Dubai ALONE works out at between 60 and 100 MILLION yes that's MILLION dollars per Emirati passport holder. (oh how we laughed) Other points of note. BTF - yes, well spotted. Bullfrogs warranted their own article in the Daily Mail (that bastion of literary standards) about 6 years ago. Apparently only magically Salz is left and ready to speak to Fry and he hasn't got enough money. That's a great plan, let's wait for him to buy us for a pound and get another 15 points deduction next year. If he was such a hero and so well connected how come 1) he hasn't got enough money and 2) he hasn't found somebody with ENOUGH money (yet) after what, 2 years of trying? As no-one else seems to be around how do we sign up for L1 next year or issue Season Tickets or negotiate a new contract with KD or shall we wait until September? Shall we do a Leon and gamble that a buyer will be along in the next 6 months? As many have pointed out MJ has no money, only BS. Just ask yourself how he would get past Fry on BS alone. Knocking him is fair game, because of his over eager stupidity in the past, but in the same breath, by association, you are accusing Fry of being an idiot for not spotting he has any substance alongside him. This is the same Fry that many posted in praise of on the appreciation thread. So, if MJ is completely full of it, then so is Fry for giving him the time of day, unless of course, MJ is just the guy who led a horse to water and along with others is trying to make him drink. Does anyone REALLY think that Fry spends every minute of every day being "distracted" by MJ? Fry is not the only one working at SMS, BT have a whole TEAM of PROFESSIONALS on the project. There are so many difficulties in the negotiation phase of admin that anything can go wrong, and cause an interested party to walk away. Everyday another problem comes up, it has taken us around 5 weeks for 34 parties to get whittled down to one stubborn bloody minded supposed buffoon being left in the game. Doesn' that SCARE you? Could it be we're in such a mess that the only thing that will get us out of it is bloody mindedness? but it's ok, about 1500 out of at least 200,000 Saints fans around the world will be able to go and watch Eastleigh next season. Where's the BL**DY cavalry? Anyone else around trying to actually HELP? When admin came, and some celebrated the (final) removal of Lowe, many pointed out that we lost all control over our destiny. Perhaps I'll mail MJ this morning and tell him to walk away in case he cannot pull it off, because a number of posters read about him and don't like him.

OK his interest might have been peeked when RL 'asked him' to sell his shares but, allegedly, he was also trying to make a lot of money from being the middle man in selling said shares, wasn't £.5M mooted at the time?? So, maybe RL could have sold his shares earlier if MJ hadn't been, allegedly, trying to make a nice commission?? I don't get the people who sit there and say 'well done he's making an effort, what have you done?'.

I don't get the people who sit there and say 'well done he's making an effort, what have you done?'. He's 'making an effort' because he can see some serious wonga at the end of the deal and he obviously has some spare time on his hands? All IMHO of courseof course that is right.He has had the get up to do it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Bob Posted 22 May, 2009 Share Posted 22 May, 2009 That is why it rings true to me that MJ was left at the last minute holding the baby as an investor pulled out, and both were then in the mire.This is always a danger for the frontman in these deals. appears it has happened a lot then. For the two years previous to this one, from the Paul Allen 'interest' through Dan Williams through to RL regaining control there has been one common thread in the 'rumours' and "it's going to happen on Friday" quotes on here and TSF!! Are you telling me that every time he has been let down by his 'backers' or has he been embellishing things ever so slightly to his 'backers' so much so that they pull out when the realise the full extent of what is needed? "A leopard can't change his spots" and "Crying wolf" come to mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
