Saint Lindford Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Skate on a wind up. As far as I know there are no problems and things are moving along quite nicely.
4737_carlin Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Too much detail for a skate its got all the soundbites of marc 'i drive a hire car' jackson.
Weston Super Saint Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Too much detail for a skate its got all the soundbites of marc 'i drive a hire car' jackson. No chance!! The spelling, grammar and punctuation are far too good for Marc - I really am dyslexic, honest guv - Jackson :shock:
thefuriousb Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Didn't The Farmer confirm yesterday that Tony Lynam had spent the day at st Mary's and hinted that all was just dandy? This is possibly just a rumour that starts when nothing of any note happens for a few days. Do we not all remember the past couple of weeks where it has swayed from "its close. yipee" to "lets face it. We are screwed"
thefuriousb Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 I know Tony was at SMS this afternoon sorting out a few things. Hopefully we'll have some exciting news to muse over soon..... Here you go - posted yesterday.
Saints foreva Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 How do we know The Farmer is telling the truth?
Bud Fox Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 How do we know The Farmer is telling the truth? If you look up the details of the Pinnacle website, you find the Farmers name! In other words, he helped design their website.
Bud Fox Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Whats the pinnacle site? http://www.pinnacleproperty.net and if you run it through whois.net you get the Farmers last name as contact details.
zzztim Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Is this the same pinnicle group that have just pulled the plug on sponsoring nottm forest shirts & are laying off staff right left & centre. I hope not
Pancake Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Is this the same pinnicle group that have just pulled the plug on sponsoring nottm forest shirts & are laying off staff right left & centre. I hope not Very much doubt it.
Foxstone Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Is this the same pinnicle group that have just pulled the plug on sponsoring nottm forest shirts & are laying off staff right left & centre. I hope not No its not. Forest were sponsored by Pinnacle Insurance Group.
SKATE_HATE Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 No its not. Forest were sponsored by Pinnacle Insurance Group. What diddrence would it make anyway as it's not them buying the club
Matthew Le God Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 (edited) Is this the same pinnicle group that have just pulled the plug on sponsoring nottm forest shirts & are laying off staff right left & centre. I hope not 1) It's a different company to the Forest sponsors 2) Pinnacle aren't buying us they are acting on behalf of a client so doesn't really matter about their finances(to an extent ) Edited 4 June, 2009 by Matthew Le God
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 The fact his name is "Ted Rogers" is a bit suspicious but its slightly unnerving just the same! Woah there cowboy, my (late) grandfathers name was Ted Rogers! I can safely say it is not him though (unless reincarnation can happen?!) However have people seen our Wikipedia page? 'Southampton fc' under the boardroom section. Appears to have been edited today to say the Pinnacle bid is falling apart and next in line are Fat Boy Photocopier and another German/Swiss consortium. I added the very last bit to that section though
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 What would be in it for certain parties to, at this stage, try to discredit Pinnacle and suggest the deal is faltering and feed such false info to posters ? (Skates aside , obviously)
Toadhall Saint Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Radio Solent earlier reported that MLT had said he would be happy to take on the Chairmans role if the Pinnacle deal goes through and they invite him to be Chairman. I know that has been reported before and seems to be common knowledge but its the first time I've actually heard it stated.
Weston Super Saint Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 What would be in it for certain parties to, at this stage, try to discredit Pinnacle and suggest the deal is faltering and feed such false info to posters ? (Skates aside , obviously) More 'face time' for MJ in the papers
Phil the Saint Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Radio Solent earlier reported that MLT had said he would be happy to take on the Chairmans role if the Pinnacle deal goes through and they invite him to be Chairman. I know that has been reported before and seems to be common knowledge but its the first time I've actually heard it stated. Just heard MLT himself say this on Radio Solent. He hopes that his role will be agreed in the next few days and said he is happy to be Chairman if required.
Toadhall Saint Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Just heard MLT himself say this on Radio Solent. He hopes that his role will be agreed in the next few days and said he is happy to be Chairman if required. Thats what I thought - if he's saying next few days then things must be moving ahead.
trousers Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 www.pinnacleproperty.net and if you run it through whois.net you get the Farmers last name as contact details. So, purely hypothetically, someone could have done the same search above and then set up a user id on here pretending to be the same 'Farmer'? As I say, hypothetically. I have no reason to believe 'The Farmer' isn't the genuine Mr Farmer.

Give it to Ron Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 A lot of hassle surely? And I'm not sure what I would gain from pretending to be me and then deny it isn't me denying it!! Did you see BBC thread ...can you confirm/deny this thread about bid failing
The Farmer Posted 4 June, 2009 Author Posted 4 June, 2009 I confirm you are who you are Cheers fella. Did you see BBC thread ...can you confirm/deny this thread about bid failing I can also confirm The Farmer just dropped something off to Tony at SMS as he is there burning more candles than I even own working late into the night after being in London all day neck deep in paperwork. Hats off to the Big Man.
exit2 Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Did you see BBC thread ...can you confirm/deny this thread about bid failing What thread Ron?

The Farmer Posted 4 June, 2009 Author Posted 4 June, 2009 Was it a pizza farmer? V funneh!! Just more paperwork unfortunately!
Highfield Saint Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Was it a pizza farmer? Does that mean there is such a thing as a "Pizza Farm"??
um pahars Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Does that mean there is such a thing as a "Pizza Farm"?? Pizza Farms, Spaghetti growing on trees, sounds like something from That's Life!!!!!!
Give it to Ron Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 What thread Ron? This is a cut&paste from it although its fromm BBC and I think its a wind up just wanted a bit more confirmation from you as Weston Saint also said he had heard this. Ted Rogers, Winchester says... 11:01am Thu 4 Jun 09 Ted Rogers wrote: Bad news re. Pinnacle Take over, they have put the brakes on having uncovered info during due diligence. Not in a position now to employ anyone at SFC. Pinnacle did not pay £500k, that was a figure mooted in the media and widely accepted by most. This deal is faltering - fact. Has no deal ever fallen out of bed because matters cannot be agreed upon? Do not think that this is a simple case of dotting i's and crossing t's;Pinnacle were given preferential treatment over the Jackson consortium on a set of verbal commitments and the involvement of MLT. You will soon witness the collapse of this deal due to 'irreconcilable difference'
Saint Fan CaM Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 If Ted Rogers of Winchester is proven to be a wind-up merchant, I hope he gets tracked down and flogged to within an inch of his life.
thorpie the sinner Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 If there was a pizza farm, I would be in heaven!

You will soon witness the collapse of this deal due to 'irreconcilable difference' I think it is ******** but have just sent a couple of texts to confirm it is. Reason being, that where did the £500k come from then to pay the wages on Friday! Due Dilligence was completed before so if a problem would not have enetered the 21 day period.
NickG Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Pizza Farms, Spaghetti growing on trees, sounds like something from That's Life!!!!!! wasn't it nationwide?
um pahars Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 wasn't it nationwide? You may well be right there fella. Can vaguely remember it in the late 70's(ish) as an April Fool's joke. I'm sure it must be up there on Google somewhere (and will have to see what the That's Life stiry was)
bridge too far Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 You may well be right there fella. Can vaguely remember it in the late 70's(ish) as an April Fool's joke. I'm sure it must be up there on Google somewhere (and will have to see what the That's Life stiry was) It was either Nationwide or Panorama (although I doubt the latter). I remember it was Richard Dimbleby fronting the piece
Mole Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 A lot of hassle surely? And I'm not sure what I would gain from pretending to be me and then deny it isn't me denying it!!
um pahars Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 It was either Nationwide or Panorama (although I doubt the latter). I remember it was Richard Dimbleby fronting the piece Just looked on Google and it was Panorama in 1957, which is not the one I was thinking of as this was in the late 70's/early 80's, so more digging methinks!!!
dubai_phil Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Whoa... I read this thread, then went down and watched an episode of Red Dwarf Series 1, was wandering upstairs and had a WTF moment..... Tony is burning the midnight oil, lots of jokes about pizzas. The only other news was that MLT & Tony had meetings yesterday. One thing missing here - why no stories about the forensic accountants and lawyers? PLEASE tell me I am missing something here, surely Tony isn't doing all this alone is he? What have I missed?
Guided Missile Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 It was either Nationwide or Panorama (although I doubt the latter). I remember it was Richard Dimbleby fronting the piece Here it is....
Gingeletiss Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 If there was a pizza farm, I would be in heaven! I grew Dildo's in a field once:smt041....it got taken over by Squatters!!!:(
exit2 Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Just had a text from my mate who is Town and can tell you that at this very moment Pinnacle reps are with the manager having dinner and a few beers.
