saintbletch Posted 29 May, 2009 Share Posted 29 May, 2009 what was said? Nothing of any substance in the interview with Richard Chorley. Thanked Leon for keeping the club afloat with money he'll never get back. Had a go at Lowe for buying the radio station for £1M, selling it for £100K ergo he has no business acumen ergo he was to blame. Nothing mentioned about the identity of the bidders. Nothing mentioned about Swiss interest. Can someone say what was originally said about Swiss interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 29 May, 2009 Share Posted 29 May, 2009 It doesn't take much to upset them,I know a guy who has a restaurant,put down "gruyere" as an ingredient of something or other on the menu and as always used plain old common or garden emmenthal,same as everyone else. The swiss cheese police came round and whacked a lawsuit on him for taking the name of their AOC national product in vain. Cost him 900 euros in the end. Lucky he didn't try and use their flag...

When the radio station was purchased we were not expecting to be relegated.£1m is nothing when you are in that league.It had earnings that you cant quantify.What is 24 hour advertising worth a year? Especially as the people listening are in the main pro Saints and so likely to buy from the advertising.To me it was a good investment if we had stayed up.

When Pompey radio is being broadcast and is pushing their club i expect fans will moan why couldnt we do the same. Its interesting that some fans dont worry about spending money on expensive signings or high wages, yet seem to have a problem with teh club investing in a service aimed at and for FANS - teh radio staion was in effect subsidised yes but it did provide alot of Saints content on a daily basis and where else can you get that? Was there not some value in subbing it to about 200k a year in the prem - Had the club paid commercial rates for marketing and advertising to a seperate radio station for the same air time it would have run into 7 figures a year... It was sold because when in the CCC there were other priorities - but thats the sort of thing that Chorley seems ignorant about....and why many dont ahve much time for him as 'spokesperson'...

I was fully expecting to see him at Saintsaid but i didn't see him. Until we stop pointing the finger the club will die.People who have no connection to us always point to the infighting at the club.

Frank's cousin Posted 29 May, 2009 Share Posted 29 May, 2009 NEGOTIATIONS in late stage with 4 parties eg they are negotiating of price/size of bid, clauses and the what nots - to see if any of teh 4 bids is satisfactory to creditors - then preferred bidder selected and due diligence so lates stage in our case referes to phase 1 not the end game.

saintbletch Posted 29 May, 2009 Share Posted 29 May, 2009 We're on again in a min Just another summary. Said there might be light at the end of the tunnel. Replayed bits of the Chorley interview. Said that Sky Sports News understands that some of the interest is coming from Switzerland. That was it. Looks like Fry again using the media and our emotions to get the messages he wants out into the public domain. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I guess that is his job.
