Ludwig Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 does anyone know who apart from MLT is the money behind this.I think it was Doggface who said the plans were exciting. Yep, now this is what we all want to know.
Scummer Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 If this goes through, a few people will have to apologise for doubting Pinnacle. It was only a couple of days ago that supporters of another bid were claiming Pinnacle had walked, and slagging them off for being amateurs.
Master Bates Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 I hope the Pin bit of Pinnacle is Pini Zahavi The 'le' bit at the end is of course our Matt No idea who nac is. Is Zahavi not involved with Dubai Skates?
aintforever Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Saved by Le God! You can go stick you arabs up your ass
DT Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Is Zahavi not involved with Dubai Skates? uh-oh. ground share... NOT
up and away Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Potentially we have turned a corner ! I hope and pray that this is the catalyst that suddenly improves our fortunes and moves the club forward after 5 years of sh1t and mediocrity ! This is fantastic news but does not imply any change on the pitch unless they are prepared to throw wonga at the club. Just great to still have a club to support! I knew something positive was about to happen as soon as the administrator asked the staff to hold off on the wages, but expected Paddy to turn up at the door. Hopefully with full creditor agreement we only have the -10 to contend with, far better than expected.
RinNY Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Thank god for that. Now let's get a wealthy owner to take over from them. Well, in that Echo article is says that Pinnacle have been negotiating on behalf of "a wealthy investor" , so your hope may be coming true already! Apparently the whole "consortium" thing is for show, with Lynam, MLT, and whoever else may be involved there as front men, negotiators, facilitators, and such, but there is one seriously wealthy figure behind it all putting up the dosh. Cue the speculation as to who this is. First guess: could it finally be Gavyn Davies putting his money where his mouth ("I won't let SFC die") is?
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Interesting that the deal is for SLH and not just the club. Had to be, they are inextricably linked......according to the FL.
J Bizzle Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Oh No!!! Farmer quick!!!! Delete the story and leave the link, or the forum gets sued!!!!!!!!!!! No they don't as there is a link to the story.
Rocker268 Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 The Southampton area is going to suddenly double in productivity as people stop pressing f5 all day!
Master Bates Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 uh-oh. ground share... NOT Think those down the road would get the hump.
Pancake Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 21 day of real worry starts now IMHO. If Pinnacle dont pull it off, there is NO time for someone else to come in.
Master Bates Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 No they don't as there is a link to the story. Link doesn't matter, trust me, i've had a few pm's in the past and threatened with infractions.
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Wake me up when something has ACTUALLY happened........zzzzzzzzzz
OldNick Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Well, in that Echo article is says that Pinnacle have been negotiating on behalf of "a wealthy investor" , so your hope may be coming true already!

Badger Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 I hope the Pin bit of Pinnacle is Pini Zahavi The 'le' bit at the end is of course our Matt No idea who nac is. Not sure I share your hope about Zahavi being involved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pini_Zahavi Seems to rank alongside 'Arry and Venables .
Ludwig Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 21 day of real worry starts now IMHO. If Pinnacle dont pull it off, there is NO time for someone else to come in. Oh **** off. It's going to go through, it must and will go through.
DT Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 keen to know how much this non-refundable deposit was. wonder if it was like the old fizzy pop bottles.
kpturner Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 21 day of real worry starts now IMHO. If Pinnacle dont pull it off, there is NO time for someone else to come in.Don't worry - we can keep going for years on £500k surely??
Toomer Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Lets not get to carried away just yet as they might just say no thank you when they fully inspect the books.
Pancake Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Oh **** off. It's going to go through' date=' it must and will go through.[/quote'] I do wish I had your hope there BO.
kpturner Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 keen to know how much this non-refundable deposit was. wonder if it was like the old fizzy pop bottles.£500k surely - or are taking the ******?.
saint_stevo Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Oh No!!! Farmer quick!!!! Delete the story and leave the link, or the forum gets sued!!!!!!!!!!! what? why?
Scudamore Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Good news...primarily because i was worried that Dubai Phil was going to top himself yesterday...
RinNY Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Ill be glad if there is just 1 person but I dont think Davies is wealthy enough by himself I read somwhere that he supposedly had a "net worth" in excess of 100million. I would have thought that, if true, would be plenty.
Highfield Saint Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Interesting that the deal is for SLH and not just the club. Sorry to be a pedant but I read it that they are acquiring the assets of SLH including SFC. I assume this means stadium, Staplewood, Jacksons Frm etc etc and leaves debt behind.
Secret Site Agent Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 (edited) I hope the Pin bit of Pinnacle is Pini Zahavi The 'le' bit at the end is of course our Matt No idea who nac is.

OldNick Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 So what happened to the Swiss then? could the Swiss joined in with Pinnacle .
Master Bates Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Solent Business Park Where did that "Zurich" quote come from?..............
UncleRay Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 I read somwhere that he supposedly had a "net worth" in excess of 100million. I would have thought that, if true, would be plenty. 90 million in the Sunday Times Rich list.
Colinjb Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Takeover Friday in something actually similar to a takeover happening SHOCKER!
trousers Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 could the Swiss joined in with Pinnacle . That is what I was sort of hinting at.....anyone confirm this? i.e. For 'Pinnacle' read 'front men for rich swiss geezer(s)'....???
kpturner Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 I read somwhere that he supposedly had a "net worth" in excess of 100million. I would have thought that, if true, would be plenty.Yes, but lets calm down a bit. Nobody is going to throw a fraction of that amount at SFC unless they are complete lunatics. I would imagine it has taken this long to conclude because the plan (and the finances to achieve the plan) are very tight. We don't want to end up back in this position ever again, so lets hope they are prudent people, spending wisely so we have a solid basis for progression back up the leagues. Plus we'll need more than that to bid for Kaka !!!!!
FMPR Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Slate is clean now boys and girls lets hope you make a good go of it.
Saint_Ash Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 21 day of real worry starts now IMHO. If Pinnacle dont pull it off, there is NO time for someone else to come in. This! Hopefully there are no irregularities and it's a straightforward exchange. this by no means means we're out the poop yet but it's definately some positive news that've been waiting for.
trousers Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Where did that "Zurich" quote come from?.............. He snuck in before you hastily deleted it.....
dubai_phil Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Thank God, and well done to Tony Lynam & his people who know doubt have been under extreme stress the past few weeks. Now finish the job and get Fry out of SMS as fast as possible, not just so you can build the squad but for all the other pain he no doubt caused you guys
ART Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 So what happened to the Swiss then? They've completely fondu...ed away. S
Master Bates Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 They've completely fondu...ed away. S Arty-tack, I just made one of you with an 'F' at the beginning
hamster Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 What exactly is MLTs role in this, Pinnacle only just won the bidding race by a nose apparently. Therein lies your answer Hatch
Master Bates Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 keen to know how much this non-refundable deposit was. wonder if it was like the old fizzy pop bottles. Article says £500k
trousers Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Pinnacle only just won the bidding race by a nose apparently. Therein lies your answer Hatch Won by a nose? No wonder they had MLT on board......
hypochondriac Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 At what point do we have license to go mental? I'm waiting a couple of days.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 What exactly is MLTs role in this, Think you will find he will be seeing a lot less of Jeff Stelling.
Saint_Ash Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 At what point do we have license to go mental? I'm waiting a couple of days. 21 Days, until then we still don't have an owner!
