miserableoldgit Posted 26 May, 2009 Share Posted 26 May, 2009 Well we are more likely to get the spelling and grammar right (eventually) than the eventual buyer. I had to proof read this several times before I had the courage to press . I cannot wait to see what I ****ed up :-) No full stop at the end? Don`t pretend that the smiley-thing is a full stop.

Micky Posted 26 May, 2009 Share Posted 26 May, 2009 Ahhh just when I was going to pack up for the day as well. Here we go for yet another 10 page thread to try to get to the bottom of who really wants to buy us. So now we have MJ, an Irish Consortium and the Pinnacle lot still appear to be in there somewhere - might be time for a poll to see who we think are the TK's and whoose the Real Deal.

dubai_phil Posted 26 May, 2009 Share Posted 26 May, 2009 A POSSIBLE REAL BIDDER, so what does that mean then Phil? In Fry's own mind, in his own mind my fiend (see what I did there?!) The 500k non refundable deposit without knowing all the details BUT what it also means is that MJ may not be the only hope the club has of avoiding being carved up. You have ANY idea how worrying THAT was? Not from a personality perspective like much of the forum, but the sheer horror of worrying what would happen if the money men found something they didn't like and pulled out. FF for the Paddy's I say. We now have 3 hopes No Hope, Bob Hope and now they are joined by Envelope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exit2 Posted 26 May, 2009 Share Posted 26 May, 2009 I know i dont post often,but i thought i would share my news.Their is an Irish consortium that have today paid the £500,000 required to enter a period of exclusivity,and a deal is done at £15,000,000,subject to nothing untoward being found.As we were a PLC,working under strict guidlines hopefully none will be found. The Pinnacle bid is still very much in the hunt and this new interest from the 2 Irish guys might force there hand one way or the other.Hopefully within a matter of days we will have a club to be proud of once again. Its funny how these things come around. I had a phone call with someone about 2 hours ago telling me the above and it was all hush hush So it shows it doesnt take much for the rumour mill to run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you aren't really in the hunt if someone has exclusivity and close to the deal. Correct, BUT, the Exclusivity period includes a time for Due Dilligence when it IS possible that nasty things can be found that would make the spending of ONLY 500k less of a disaster than spending (the alleged) 15 million. In this situation, exclusivity period means only that the bidder has a set time to complete the purchase and that the Administrator cannot ACCEPT another deal and sell to someone else. HOWEVER, the administrator would want to make sure that any other interested parties do not go away completely, as an insurance in the event of a probem arising. A lot will depend on the actual TERMS of the contract for exclusivity, which, according to the Echo was the problem that hit Pinnacle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
