dubai_phil Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 I saw Rupert in The Don restaurant in London today. I managed to refrain from shouting abuse at him although I did utter a fair few expletives about him to my guests. I didn't recognise any of the gimps he was quaffing champagne with. True story. Thank the Lord that Tony Lynam was supposed to have been either at SMS or in Switzerland today (depending on which Echo story they print) Would have been horrific news IF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Billy Posted 11 June, 2009 Share Posted 11 June, 2009 Being picky but there is a small contradiction in there. PINNACLE have assured Saints fans their takeover is “going to plan” and will be sealed before their exclusivity period expires. and If the deal can be confirmed quicker it will be, but all the available time could well be used – meaning things would go right to the wire.

PINNACLE have assured Saints fans their takeover is “going to plan” and will be sealed before their exclusivity period expires. and If the deal can be confirmed quicker it will be, but all the available time could well be used – meaning things would go right to the wire. Nope. no contradiction. If it goes to the wire, it gets completed minutes or hours before the exclusivity period ends, but still BEFORE the exclusivity period ends. Going past the ire would be AFTER. Now, they're saying they hope to complete the deal earlier, i.e. days before the exclusivity period ends; but that they cannot be sure and it may go to the wire. How you find any contradiction there confounds me. From all the agonizing about the length of time it's taking, I can only conclude that many people on this forum have never bought a house. Up until a year ago, I'd maybe have been saying the same sort of thing, but having been through that process and seen how much useless paperwork and regulation the lawyers have created even around the relatively simple transaction of buying a house from its previous outright owners, I know that the legal side of this business deal is simply bound to drag out for weeks and weeks. So the fact that it is taking weeks means nothing other than that the lawyers are doing their thing and "earning" their fat fees. Bunch of vultures, but there, the cost of living in a society of laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITKSaint Posted 11 June, 2009 Share Posted 11 June, 2009 House deals fall through all the time!! Terrible analogy!!!

The Farmer Posted 12 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 12 June, 2009 (edited) I've just spoken to Tony. He is in Guernsey at the Smile4Rich Charity Golf event at Le Grande Mare. He said this is a charity close to his heart and he hopes in future SFC can be involved in similar fund raising events to build a better spirit around the club once again and give something back to the community. He said his weekend will be dedicated to going through the remaining legal issues and he is confident of getting everything in place in time for deadline day. Tony and co are champing at the bit to get on with football matters, which in Tony's words were 'what it's really all about'.

What are you on about? I was merely pointing out that there would have been a 14 page thread on that one line if RL had uttered it rather than Tony Lynam. Mysterious money men, no football experience in the proposed chairman, limited business experience in MLT, limited communication, dodgy websites - you can see the Anti-Lowe's touching themselves in excitement if it was Rupert, not Tony. Personally I think it is refreshing that such hyperbole and over reaction is gone (for now) from this board / football club. Anyways, you can say what you like about me in your random streams of conciousness Ottery, but I've always supported WHOEVER ran the club. Constructively criticised yes (including Lowe), but recognised that it's a ****ing hard job (can't please all the people, all of the time etc.). I don't think you can say the same.

The big difference is that we are all sat around waiting for/expecting something positive to happen, with a definite date given as to when it should. I can`t remember waiting for anything positive to happen when Lowe/Wilde were around.Just waiting for the inevitable. "Nero Fiddling Whilst Rome Burned" comes to mind in that case.
